The road in front of Reef Village is horrible, however. Deep potholes that turn into mini-lagoons every time it rains. Due to a nice stretch of dry weather, the road is now completely dry from north of the bridge well past Grand Caribe EXCEPT in front of Reef Village, due to the depth of the potholes there.

Not sure what that means, anyone staying north of bridge traveling by cart has to pass that section of road, are you suggesting no one stay north of bridge?

Not necessarily, and you are correct, of course; it is just something to be aware of for someone who is considering a visit and knows nothing of Reef Village. "The road" is the first thing many people talk about when RV comes up in conversation.

I agree with you, tcoats. We were just there, and had a fantastic time. We love spending time there, and enjoy having friends and family there as well.
I would think that once the issues with the developer are resolved, RV will become a wonderful place to be. As it is, the issues with him really don't impact the amount of pleasure one can get from being there.
The road is again, everyones problem, at least everyone who travels north on the road. Won't go there again, I think we have beaten that horse to death, but don't not go for fear of not enjoying yourself. It is still a great place to stay.

Here is something I'm not understanding right now. The last couple of years, when the road was the worst from the traffic circle to the bridge, and very nice in front of RV, and bad from RV north; why has it changed now, that it is worst in front of RV?

And this Captain Hollywood guy, associated with the theater, and (I may be wrong) RV; has the road grader, and is asking for $$ to grade the road?

Why not be a stand up guy and just grade the road in front of RV? It is usually graded several times a year, why wait until High Season? That hasn't been the way it was done for the last two years. Maybe more?

Yes, Gwen it is at sometimes the worse part of the road heading north.............there is absolutely no drainage in that part of the road........until they figure a drainage systmem out it will allways be a major problem.

The road in front of Reef Village is now the responsibility of the Reef Village Homeowners Association.

We were preparing the road for grading by the theater but will wait until this storm passes and the water table recedes. Otherwise all our work, time and money would have been for nothing.

The grader will be out as soon as the soil is dry enough. If you want it can carry north as far as Las Terazzas.

If we can get a 75% response rate from the residents between the bridge and Las Terazzas, we can lower the cost of grading to $2 belize per foot. This would be based on your frontage.
We feel this is a fair price and will compensate for any gaps such as empty lots and absentee owners.

So for example if your property frontage is 50 feet on the roadside your contribution would be 50 x $2 = $100bz.

This price includes fuel, operator, sideman, and all taxes and surcharges which is a very good deal. Everyone who uses the North road should contribute.

How much is your comfort worth? your back? the repairs on your golf cart? muddy shoes and clothes, your time, not to mention response time for emergency services. Think about it. I'll be around shortly.

The road in front of Reef Village is NOT now or has it ever been the responsibility of the Reef Village Homeowners Association . The company/developer who built it is responsible for it's condition . It is NOT a part of the parcel of land that the Homeowners association oversees. According to the S.P.T.C. it is a trail and not their problem , so the Paradise Theater and the owners of the large open commercial lot and the other owners who's property fronts this trail can ALL pitch in to get several bids to have this filled with proper aggregate as a base ,to a proper elevation so the rain water has some place to drain.Get the facts correct this trail is NOT the responsibility of the Reef Village Homeowners Association , period!!!

If you look at the road grading thread, 1st page, third comment, SF Jeff, owner of Azul Resort said he would do it for free.

FYI.......Capt Hollywood is Jeff Pierce and he is trying to hide behind a new monicker. How fitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The road in front of Reef Village is not the rsponsibility of Reef Village. Although the road is in terrible condition it should be the responsibility of ALL the resorts north of the bridge and specifically those resorts in the immediate area that are impacted. If there is someone who has volunteered to do it for free then he should be contacted
