Mediteribbean Seafood Stew, served with a romantic view....the only thing missing, is you. |
Beaches and Dreams is still that little intimate place where we as owners, interact with guests daily and the favorite part of my job is corresponding with people before the trip down to see just what it is that they want to achieve from the trip.
There is nothing like an 8 course tapas tasting dinner coupled with wine and served on our dock or a beach picnic with shrimp cocktail, smokey chicken pasta salad and crunchy sourdough bread to make memories that will last forever.
Just take a look at all of the fantastic things there are to do right from our centrally located little beach spot in Hopkins, Belize.
