Greg, I may have once mentioned such a thing . . but somehow I doubt it.

Now that I have mentioned a great number of times. There is much better
value to be found.

The ambiance of Ramon's grounds, beach, pool and bar area is hard to beat.
However, one doesn't have to stay at Ramon's to enjoy a drink there or to
use their dive op. One can enjoy the ambiance of Ramon's whilst staying
elsewhere in significantly better quarters for the same or less dollars.

Further, some people that stay in the garden suites are distinctly unhappy.

Maybe the OP isn't patient enough, but I'm here if they have any more
questions.

You go on all your honeymoon's there? I've never been on a honeymoon there
yet, though I can see the island's potential in that regard.

dsziede can go and enjoy the good diving and take a day trip or two out to
the Atolls for some world-class diving.

Unfortunately, all too true. That said, on one of my last dives the nurse
shark followed the dive master around like a puppy. It wanted to be petted.
It was just a little duffer and he knew exactly who he wanted. It
definitely wasn't about being fed, it was most definitely about being
petted. I've never seen anything like it before, despite all the
interaction I've seen between the DM's and the nurse sharks.

Go to the Palapa Bar on a lovely afternoon, enjoy a cool one or two while
you stare out at the multiple colors of the Belizean sea.

All that and more. You can visit the zoo, go cave tubing or Mayan cave
trekking.
