As jungle lodges in Belize go, Sun Creek is a real bargain. Thomas and Marisa run this rustic, eco-oriented lodge in a fine patch of jungle near the village of San Marcos about 13 miles from Punta Gorda. In the tropical garden are four thatched-roof cabañas, two with bathroom outside and open-sky shower, and two beautifully appointed family villas.
Villas are a comfortable blend of modern and rustic, with a spacious living area, kitchenette with fridge and private bathrooms with open-sky shower.
