Spacious and relaxing!
We stayed a week at New Dawn - plenty of room for 3 couples. The fabulous pool is the best part of the home and the beach and grounds are lovely. Be aware that the water off the beach is not clear like you might expect at a tropical beachside unit. We did have a lot of rain, but I don’t think that’s the reason. Even so you can swim and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. At the time we stayed the unit had a lot of snorkel gear, sunscreen’s, and even bug spray. Generous towels, both bath and beach. The beds were comfortable with the exception of one which is very hard. Keep in mind that there is one room that is attached to another bedroom on the lower level, and two bedrooms share a hallway bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, but the pans are old. We ate out for dinner every night. The best restaurant is the Maya Hotel bistro about 10 minutes away. Amazing food!Our biggest complaint, and worry, was how slippery the tile floors are when wet even with shoes. Rainwater pools on both upper and lower balconies, and on the front steps, and is very slippery. We did a snorkeling outing, but also drove to the nearby King Maya waterfall which was beautiful. The drive from the Belize airport is about 2 1/2 hours, but you really need to watch for the speed bumps everywhere. Herbert, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful.
