Beauty in Belize, at Turtle Inn
Escape to Francis Ford Coppola’s resort and discover pure bliss in Belize.
Where to get pampered…
As soon as I learned that there was a spa in this resort, I was all over it. Believe me; you are going to want to experience it. ‘The Sunset Spa’ is in an open-air “Rice House”. The walls are covered in hand painted Balinese murals, and this section of the Inn proved to have the best view of Placencia Lagoon I witnessed. I was informed, before anything even touched my skin, that all treatments used only locally-sourced organic ingredients. After speaking some more with the masseuse, I learned they actually study ancient techniques at the Sacred Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok. How crazy is that!?
I settled on a traditional Thai massage, it was a rhythmic massage that combined compressions, and pressure point techniques and it felt wonderful. Don’t take my word for it though, you have to try it amongst the other services they offer; Essential Oil Massage, Oriental Foot Massage, Sea Salt Body Treatments, and Facials. I finished up my day at Sunset (feeling lux) with a coconut hair rinse. Coconut oil is the latest in health right now, the conditioning treatment made my dry hair feel smooth and silky. They also complimented my rinse with a foot rub!

One of the reasons why I love the Urbanette Magazine is that this magazine completely away from cliche. You don’t go promoting places you actually don’t like. And you don’t go chasing the trendy places unlike every other magazine. You only write about the places you’ve been to and was satisfied with. For example Turtle Inn. I never heard about the place until I saw this article. I’m glad I did. It’s far from the cliche so called popular places other magazines rave about! The Turtle Inn definitely looks like a place I could have a great time. Thanks for being unigue and geniune. I really appreciate that.

They’re not lying when they say 100% unique content. 😉
Just like you, I love finding out via Urbanette about all these gorgeous places I’ve never been to. Because I trust their reviews, and I know they won’t try to make us believe in something they don’t stand behind.
Honestly, Turtle Innn is ONLY one of the MANY places I found out through Urbanette, and I’m already planing to make a trip as soon as possible. 🙂

I came across this article while I was looking for information about the Turtle Inn. My fiance booked us a reservation and surprised me with it. Being the control freak I am, I had to see what it’s like and read some reviews. I did come acress some informative reviews on some certain websites, but my god, nobody described it in so much detail like you did! THANK YOU! All thanks to this article I am relieved because I know it won’t be disasterous getaway. I expect it to be rather romantic. 🙂

This is generally not my kind of place. But the way you described it, and the photosyou shared, really made me want to book a vacation there! Well done on another AWESOME article Hilary! You’re so good at this. 🙂

Her writing technique is so unique and creative. You can picture everything in your head as you read it. I think she should write a book! I know I would buy it. 🙂

That’s a very cute resort. Lovely review, very detailed and informative. Thanks for telling us about it. If my road crosses Belize, I will consider staying at the Turtle inn. 🙂

It has a bit The Sims Castaway Stories vibe to it. Totally my kind of place. I would definitely love to visit if I had the chance one day.

Oh my god! My sister is getting married this summer, and she wants a beach wedding, but she’s so picky that she hasn’t booked a location yet. I’m going to share this article with her. I know she will love it. That’s exactly what she’s looking for.
