Our family of 4 just got back from Turneffe Island Resort (TIR). We were a mix bag of 1 SCUBA diver, 2 avid fishermen and 1 R&R mom. Everyone had a great all-around experience at TIR. The food & drinks were wonderful; rooms nice, cool & clean; physical grounds well kept; and, reception/staff were incredibly friendly. Our flight was a few hours late but somehow, with constant communication, we had a boat waiting for us to take us to the island. We certainly appreciated this as we no interest in spending the night in the city. Everything was seamless! SCUBA Diving - My daughter had a total of 7 dives including the Blue Hole. She thoroughly enjoyed the marine life (most notable are the sharks, groupers, lobster, stingrays, sea turtles) she saw and of course, the famous Blue Hole dive. The water was very clear and warm. Her comment was that 'just when she thought the dive couldn't get any better, it did!' Last year, she dove in Seychelles and she claims TIR offered a similar experience. Her dive master, Hilario, was excellent. Took wonderful pictures & videos, going beyond expected efforts. FISHING - My husband & son went flats fishing for 3 days. The bonefishing was tricky but worth the experience. While it was incredibly hot, the flats were not too far from TIR that the guide took them back for a couple of hours of rest & hydration. SNORKELING - The (day & night) snorkeling was fantastic! Clear waters with our guide, Luis, making it a point tolet us constantly know the species we were seeing. The water was generally warm and reef very healthy/vibrant. I have to admit, our Belize reef snorkeling was much much better than in Australia's Barrier Reef! R&R - Wonderful in-house masseuse, Roxy. Loved that TIR had daily specials that I availed of. I can't end this review without some special shout outs. Hilario, the dive mater really out did himself. Luis, our snorkeling guide, kept on surfacing to let us know what/where we can see species. We've never had a guide that thorough. Sean, in reception, was funny, helpful & we enjoyed his company during the evenings. Thank you Sean for taking our family pictures! Jason, the ever energetic deckhand, was on top of things during the snorkeling & diving activities. Fidel, our bartender, had the most creative & delicious drinks available. Irwin, our fishing guide, made sure our group had a good bonefishing experience. So go ahead, book your trip to Belize and TIR. You won't regret it.
