Hey everyone this is an "Introductory" price for this new resort! We'll be flying to Belize City and then onto San Pedro where we'll dive in the world famous Ambergris Cay.

All rooms will have 2 beds in them and anyone doing a single upgrade on the Cabana styled room can win a chance at a free oceanview cabana room of which several are available! :cool1: (Sorry this only applies to the single rooms and not the double occupany rooms UNLESS you are a couple/2 people and are sharing a room and a queen/king bed. If so please let me know and we can enter you in the drawing for the oceanview room too!)

Hey everyone...I'm sure you'll have questions on this and I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible. This trip was put together with the resort to highlight its new ownership of its facilites and to help us find a great trip for June now that we had a last minute opening.

Thank you for joining us and this could be one of the best SD trips ever...just a few good friends in a wonderfully quiet and relaxing place in paradise! I look forward to you coming to join me! -ww

Ok I've had a few questions....

1. What time should I arrive?
A. You can arrive any time the 12th and depart anytime the 17th or later.

2. What if you only get a few people?
A. That is the beauty of this special promotion...they will be happy if we get 2 or 20 people so we are going regardless!

Yes you can arrive early but you'll be on your own unless someone else wants to arrive early with you. Did you find better air by arriving early?

I haven't even looked at air yet. It is just that I have to be at work the week of 6-16 - 6-20 no options on that. I will be bringing a friend so I will not be completely on my own, in fact she dives so technically I will not be buddy-less

No worries that will work! You'll be with the group for part and on your own for part. Shouldn't be a problem. I know the resort wants 'heads on beds'!

Any info on weight/luggage restrictions on the BZE to San Pedro segment?

Does the BZE-SanPedro flight go ever day. We were thinking about Sunday 6/8 - Sunday 6/15.

Thanks

AirHead, from going last year, I know a little about how they treat luggage. There are two carriers to San Pedro: Maya Island Air and Tropic Air. Tropic has the more detailed guidelines on their site: http://www.tropicair.com/about.html. Nobody last year had any issue with slightly larger/heavier bags that I'm aware of, but it is probably a good idea to keep them within the guidelines anyway. You don't want it to get held up in baggage claim! :)

There are many flights a day, the last one being at about 5:30 or a little after. When a big group was headed back to BZE last year, they ran lots of planes right in a row.
