Just beachy (in WC Dish on the Road)

For our last day in Belize Patty and her husband joined us for a day at the beach. We caught a 6:00am bus to a ferry and the ferry dropped us off in Placencia, a quaint resort town that is known for having the world’s smallest main street (it’s the size of a sidewalk). Our hotel was literally across from the ferry doc and it was simply heaven.

This was the nicest place we had stayed by far. The hotel had a bar and a restaurant and looked right out onto the beach. It was an open air everything so you could just breath in the sunshine. Because we caught such an early bus we arrived at the hotel before check out so we had to kill time before we got our room. We changed into our suits and grabbed some coffee at the bar.

I was in love with the fact that I had to only walk three places in the next 24-28 hours. The beach, the bar and the room. They were all within feet of each other which was amazing. I could leave my pack in my room and not have to be ready to sling it on my shoulders in a moments notice to catch a bus, flight or taxi. All I had to do was park myself on the beach. That’s what I thought anyway until Patty mentioned a gelato shop that was down the road. Okay, so maybe I would make an exception… a few times.

The final dish: Another food quote from Patty, “I am going to make it a mission to eat gelato from this shop at least four times while we are here. It’s that good.”

I am all about missions… and yes, we completed this one.

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
