A Note about Travel Insurance: For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance. This will help protect your trip investment against unforeseen circumstances, such as weather events, illnesses, or other unexpected issues that may arise within 30 days of your arrival date.

No open flames permitted in/near the home.

Cristo Rey Village is in the jungle region of Belize. While this provides incredible beauty and natural wonders, it also means that heat, humidity, sudden tropical squalls, power outages and water outages are not uncommon.
**************************
We have free high speed wi-fi service on the property and in the home. It is fast and reliable! However, if the power to the village goes out, we do lose internet service, but that doesn’t happen often.
**************************
We strive for a calm, serene & relaxing environment; and most of the time it is just that. However, the local birds are very active as daylight breaks, and the Howler Monkeys can be a bit startling at night. We are also in the middle of a small, but active village. Sometimes the neighboring roosters, dogs, church music, etc. can be heard.

HOLIDAY DISCLAIMER
Holidays are VERY festive times in Belize, and the love for celebrations is deeply ingrained in the culture. During holidays, it's common for locals to enjoy lively gatherings with music and fireworks, contributing to a vibrant and joyous atmosphere. We understand that this exuberance may be disruptive to some guests' stays.
However, whether staying with us, or anywhere else in Belize, it will be louder than normal during all Belize Holidays. And a Holiday isn't just a single day of celebration..... Belizeans start celebrating days before and usually at least one day after any given holiday.
Some of the 'loudest' holidays are New Years, Easter, Belize Independence Day (Sept) and Christmas.
So, for those guests who are extremely noise sensitive please keep these things in mind.
