BURRELL BOOM, BELIZE
Black Orchid Resort was my little escape from the world… and it was wonderful.
By the time I got to my 5th resort in Belize, I was beat.ย I don’t expect you to feel sorry for me for traveling this beautiful country, I’m just saying.
The in-room wi-fi was so welcome and comforting, I just can’t even tell you.ย Many of the Belizean resorts had a limited, struggling or non-existent internet situation.ย As a tourist- it’s good to unplug.ย As someone who works online, it’s good to have reliable wifi.

Give me coffee and cable.ย Loved this bed.ย Im still sleepy.
HOTEL ROOM FITNESS
It’s so easy to fall off my exercise game, especially during travel.ย And especially in Belize.ย ?? More shuttles ?and more rice ? โ less veggies ? and less exercise ?โโ๏ธ has me feeling a little sluggish, and that’s definitely not my favorite feeling. ?
It can be really hard to stay motivated to exercise while traveling, but with a little bit of #instagram inspiration and a pair of #usa ?? socks, you can quickly remind yourself that your health is your wealth wherever the wind may take you. Shout out to @blackorchidresortbelize for having rooms spacious enough for yoga. ?โโ๏ธ ? This wall #coreworkout sock #yogachallenge was inspired by @beachyogagirl ?
REAL LIFE
Transportation is always an issue when traveling and it can be a struggle to find a Christian church in a new and/or rural village, city or country. ?? All that to say… I miss church. ? I miss hugging my friends. Of course, I miss the worship music and I am always due for a good message from The Word. ?? But I know that the church is not a building. It is a body of believers left here on Earth to be used as His instruments to further His Kingdom. Some days my biggest insecurity is thinking about the kind of representative I am showing up as… I’m not perfect- even if I try really hard to be. ?
So when I see a sign like this, I smile. The ?power? of prayer is in The One who hears it and not the one who says it! And what a mighty power it is. With God, all things are possible. ?
P.S. Here’s your sign. ??
Favorite things
- The seclusion!ย There did seem to be some retirees running around that I would have chatted up but I delighted in the privacy, air-condition, cable, huge room, comfy bed and wi-fi!
Keep in mind
- There are not many eating options within walking distance.ย Keep some snacks in your mini-fridge.
- If you want to explore, you may want to rent a car.ย Things are FAR away in the jungle.
Travel tips
- Black Orchid schedules a ton of tours through Belize R Us.
- Bring snacks.ย I recommend nuts and dried fruit.ย There are refrigerators in the room but mine was unplugged and I never tried to plug it in.
- Bug spray.ย The mosquitos can be ruthless.
Listed price is about $125 per night
