TheCayes The nine-acre island is owned by the Lomont family, who came to Belize in the 1960s and made it their home. The family purchased the caye in 1978 from Nel Morgan, a descendent of the famous Captain Morgan. Nel s grandfather (not Captain Morgan) is buried on the island southwest cafe beside the big gumbo limbo tree.

It is the Canadian hospitality and the food, $$$, that is the draw to this place. I heard about the meals long before I came to the resort. When I arrived, a couple was wolfing down a waffle with real maple syrup. They couldn t speak until they had finished. The shrimp on a stick is a favorite while sipping on a happy-hour drink. There are numerous kabobs from which to choose; the seafood dinner is also popular. Dessert is a must fried bananas.
