Not because of the lack of options, but the abundance. From this resort you can kayak, take long beach walks, and swim in the clear waters of the Caribbean. And that&#8217;s just before breakfast. Add a tour or two and spend the day snorkeling, diving, caye hopping, sailing, fishing, manatee sighting, bird watching, jungle trekking, jaguar spotting, cultural touring, Mayan pyramid climbing or cave tubing, and you&#8217;ll be ready for a good meal in the lively Maya Beach Hotel Bistro. There is no place in Belize with the diversity of the Placencia Peninsula. See it before the rest of the world finds out.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:23:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Maya Playa Resort</title> <link> http://www.gotobelize.com/mayaplaya/</link><description>Maya Playa Resort offers a unique experience to the adventurous traveler.
