THE INN AT ROBERT'S GROVE
Trip Desription

pool&resort.jpg (39977 bytes)The trip begins in Belize City where you will board a small plane for your 30 minute flight to the town of Placencia in southern Belize. Here you will be greeted by our driver for the final few miles to your resort .  The Inn at Robert's Grove is nestled on fifteen lush acres between the Caribbean Sea and the Placencia Lagoon. The Hacienda-style Inn is situated on the finest white, sandy beach of Placencia. Whether you're looking for high adventure or a leisurely beach vacation, we're equipped to make your visit to Placencia and Belize an unforgettable one.

After checking in and getting a quick run down of the grounds, you might want to head to the beach or pool to cool off and work on the tan.  You also might want to get your fly rods rigged and ready for tomorrow.  Tarpon, bones and permit are out there...greatroom.jpg (19835 bytes)

Day or night, take a dip in our two fresh water swimming pools overlooking the beach. We also have a tennis court, Jacuzzis, canoes, sea kayaks, sailboats, windsurfing boards, fitness equipment and bicycles for guest use. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of our on-property dive shop, fly fishing center, conference center and resort-operated day trips to the rainforest and Maya ruins. We also have an open air massage room and gift shop.

Your guide will meet you in the dining room sometime that evening to go over the next day's fishing.  It might be an early start for tarpon or an 8 am start for bonefish.  He will have a good idea of what to expect for weather, tides and fish.  If diningtable.jpg (23167 bytes)you are planning a dive visit the dive center on the lagoon side to see where you will be going.

In the morning you will get a nice breakfast from the buffet of pastries or ordering from the menu.  Lunch is being made and packed in the coolers along with your favorite beverages.  If you are not fishing you will get lunch at one of the restaurants or poolside.

Hopefully you will enjoy one of those incredible once in a lifetime days out on the water - maybe even a grand slam!  Whether you are fishing, diving, heading out to the ruins or relaxing by the pools you will be ready for dinner.  If you look below you will see some sample menus from our restaurants.  This is a luxurious trip that can satisfy the search for a grandslam on a fly or a romantic honeymoon retreat.   We specialize in trips that are a little of both.
