I am the friend of the Central FL Girl who also stayed at BBH Oct. 2004 and several other times. I now consider the neighbors, you considered rude, as friends. These people have been very kind to me, my son and my parents. The first time I stayed at BBH I was with my son and the children accepted him right away & asked him to join them in "foot ball" soccer. Even though my son is not the best player, the children encouraged him, fished with him and the neighbors also took him out on their boat. We keep in contact and they have been very concerned about us, when we have been hit by hurricanes. Also, on the other side of BBH is Patajoes, where Butch was also very friendly and kind to us, telling us that if we needed anything just ask. While waiting on a water taxi at the dock, Butch noticed we had been waiting a while and called the taxi again and came out on the dock to tell us the boat was on the way. Yes, I was the one who got sick and finally in Belize found a doctor who knew how to help me. I had been to doctors for years in the US and they did nothing to help. A concerned maid from BBH actually went to get the doctor for me and he came to BBH. After suffering for years I have had no problem since using the medicine the doctor perscribed and continue to use. Sandy has also been extremely helpful to me and my son. She has proven to be a concerned and reliable vacation home owner. We had a problem which although Sandy did not need to be involved with, she went out of her way to help. I have not seen a problem with drugs, but I do not use them, would not encourage them or complain about someone going to jail, who had been involved in a drug deal. I could, as you can see, go on and on about the good points of the charming BBH and people of Belize. I now have several friends there and am currently building my own home. I have to say one more thing though, I "never" heard dogs barking at night and rarely during the day. I wonder how you treated the neighbors? As for me I'll be down on Monday and look forward to visiting with Sandy and Jackie & her family. There is no reason not to stay at BBH and every reason to stay there, location, friendly neighbors, beachfront and nice vendors who sell great banana bread and wonderful foods I'm not even sure what the names are, for very cheap! Sandy and Jackie I am sorry for the things this person said about you. See you soon! Also, Sandy here's a plug for your tours, they are great and we have been on several!!!!!
