;)I'm the one who was so apprehensive about going to CC. Let me tell you, we had THE BEST TIME OF OUR LIVES and we will be back! We stayed at Costa Maya. The best par twas that you could walk right out and onto the beach. However, as with everything on that side of the island, there's all this sea grass so you have to basically go to The Split to do your swimming. There's a constant breeze on that side of the Island. On the other side, where the Iguana Reef is, and where the most beautiful spot is for watching sunsets. That's where you will need mosquito spray and down on the side of the island where the air strip is. There are projects there and we had a guided tour on a golf cart by a local. That was a little scary but certainly you won't be going to those parts at night. Eat at Don Corleone's and Agave for some upscale dining. Jose is the most attentive bartender (at The Iguana Reef). A nice place to stay is Caye Caulker Inn (very close to The Split). Always someone trying to sell you something so you must be firm if you are not interested and tell them so or they will hound you the entire time you are there. Shots are not needed nor are malaria meds. The water smells really bad when taking a shower. People are friendly. Just don't leave anything out over night. I left my brand new Teva sandals on a picnic table and they were gone the next morning. Get yourself a "meet and greet" at the airport so that you don't have to worry about hailing taxis. Sail with Ragga Muffin. They have the best guides. FEMI's - don't miss FEMI's - on the beach - smoothies and fruit drinks you don't want to miss. Keep an ear out for the guy peddling the fresh squeezed fruit juices. For sure, we won't have scurvy as we ate so much fruit! Have fun. You will want to buy property there like we do now, too!
