* You are welcome to use the yoga pavilion when there is no classes in session. See the site map for directions to get there. It is a great birdwatching place. Be sure to turn off all lights and fans after you are done. It is on solar and will burn out the system if these things are left on. Thank you

* We also have massages services, Healing sessions or spa treatments at the Balance Point Wellness office right on site.   We can schedule your session around your schedule of activities.    If you plan to spend the day on tour, then I will most likely suggest that you have a late afternoon massage but we have appointments available starting at 9am to 6pm throughout the week. Please visit the website for more information on treatment options and prices www.balancepointwellnessbz.com

*What types of wildlife will I see?     Lots! We are teaming with wild life. Howler monkeys and agouties, toucans and hummingbirds abound. Occasionally a hummingbird will wiz by your head, You can watch ants march around and butterflies and bees collect pollen. the frogs will sing you to sleep. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, the jungle is rambunctious and often invades the accommodations. We also have great bird watching at the Ananda Pavilion particularly early in the morning. If you would like to barrow binoculars we have them available!!!! 

Have I mentioned the ANTS? Wear close-toed shoes when walking in the jungle, bug spray is advised (we have some available in the office if you did not bring it) and LOOK DOWN, watch where you are standing! They will sting.

* The walking trails on the property are a fun adventure and opportunity to connect with jungle nature.  The property is 10 acers and is all fenced in. Please stay inside the fence line and on the trails. If you are interested in Maya history or plant medicine, we offer a guided tour of the medicinal plants on the property hosted by a traditional medicine man from the village. these tours are $50 bzd and can be booked through the office. It is also good to get the tour If you are nervous about getting lost. https://www.balancepointwellnessbz.com/jungle-medicine-trail

(well most times …it does get high and can be unadvisable for swimming in rainy season June through September ) Please make sure you are a confident and strong swimmer and/or wear a life jacket.

The river is a short 3 min walk from the guest house Take a left outside the gate and walk until you see the sign for MAHOGANY HALL. This is a nice place to swim and hang.

Our advice for dining in Belize:

In most restaurants, If it's on the menu, that doesn't mean it's available.  No meal is served at the same time. Wait at your own risk. : Learning to like your beverage warm is useful. Because it happens quickly. No matter what they say... It is never butter... It's always margarine. And when all else fails, A squeeze of Lime or a little Maria Sharp hot sauce can make almost everything better.  

Eat at roadside food places market vendors, Shack and stall food. they are the best you will ever have. And the cheapest. Go to the farmers' market Particularly the Saturday market. Ask questions. Have whatever they serve. Try the food. Pupusas are awesome!
