Honeymoon at Sueno del Mar

Washington Redskins fullback Eddie Williams was on the island enjoying a Caribbean honeymoon with his lovely wife Sarah. They had Belize on the list when picking honeymoon destinations, and when a friend of theirs offered their Sueno del Mar condo - it was an offer they couldn't refuse!

Eddie and Sarah say they enjoyed their stay immensly and in particular, Edddie likes how just being here "makes you lazy!"

The members of Sueno welcomed them to their community, enjoying beach volleyball with Sarah, snorkeling and relaxing. Jessie and James thought it was pretty cool to meet a professional football player. Eddie even converted a few new fans for the Redskins.

Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve Tour

Park ranger Rodney offered us an educational tour of the Bacalar Chico Marine reserve that encompasses the northern portion of Ambergris Caye. It started with a boat ride up through the Mayan channel that separates Mexico (on the left) and Belize (on the right). In attendance on this day's tour was John Midlen, Jim and Ann Maloney, Dan Russell, and Gregg and Caroline Garner and their daughters. Chac Balam is noticeable from a distance as it soars above the treetops.

Member Ann Maloney and her guest Caroline Garner in the Mayan tomb.Shards of mayan pottery can be found all over this site.

Next stop, the San Juan area on the back side of the island. There is a small museum with information about Bacalar Chico.

The trip back is through the Cantina Lagoon. This is a prime fly fishing area. It gets pretty shallow in a few spots, so we did a little pushing along the way.

At the far end of the lagoon we unloaded for a short walk through the jungle on a trail that brings us back to the beach just north of Robles Point (the windmill).

We hope to do more of these trips in other months.

Bicycle Buy-back Program continues

Interested in having your own bicycle to use while at Sueno? We are continuing our Bicycle Buy-back Program. You can purchase a bicycle, use it while you are here, then Sueno will buy it back for half price at the end of your stay and add it to our bicycle collection.

Here's how the program works. We special order the Hurricane from Belize City at a cost of about $250 US. We order it, charge it to your Sueno account or credit card, and have it ready in your villa before your arrival. The Hurricane is yours to keep at your villa during your stay. No more waiting for a bike to become available at Sueno’s bike shelter. No more rust, loose chains, and seats that are too high or too low. The Hurricane is adjusted to fit you personally and is yours for the duration of your stay.

At checkout we will credit your account for half the purchase price, about $125 US. Then the bike becomes part of Sueno's bike collection to be maintained by our staff and made available for our members to use. The Bicycle Buyback Program allows you to enjoy a brand new, custom fit bicycle and allows Sueno to improve its bicycle collection for the rest of our membership.

Happy New Year!

Here's what you missed in December:

Welcome to Sueno del Mar

Welcome to Phil and Ann Myers. After enjoying a relaxing Thanksgiving week they decided to make Sueno del Mar their Caribbean home during November and December.

Vicke Causby and Krista Engels have decided to add November and December to their time of residency. Christmas in the Caribbean!

Antonio Update

Antonio underwent another surgery on his foot last week. They removed a piece of bone from his hip to reconstruct his leg. He has a metal plate and several screws in his leg now. Although he will be in a wheelchair for months to come, he is making a good recovery.

November

Our beaches are looking better than ever after our fourth monthly beach cleanup.

The find of the month was this lovely camp trailer, found between Sueno and the abandoned "Iguana House."

Optometrist Ed Paul did an eye screening for all resort and construction staff. You may see the staff sporting some stylish new lenses now. Dr. Tanner helped out too.

Thank you Ed, Laura, & Tanner Paul, and Tammi Coleman for donating your time and resources.

With a total of 82 people in house and with 23 kids we set a couple of new records at Sueno during Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving Day was full of fun, including poker...

...a beer drinking contest...

...X-box and Wii...

...a couple of football games on TV...

...tug 'o war...

...live music and dancing...

...great food by Marwan and the staff of the Blue Moon Restaurant... (picture by Charlie Fair)

...and most of all, great people!
