Isla Marisol Resort offers scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, beach combing, seafood feasts, and fishing vacations at our private island.
Glovers Reef is the smallest of three coral Atolls in Belize. Declared a Heritage Site by United Nations and a National Protected Area by the Government of Belize, Glover's Reef Atoll is located some 35 miles South East of Dangriga Town. It is made up of about five atoll islands, one of them being the family-owned Island of Southwest Caye, home to Isla Marisol Resort.
Southwest Caye was bought in 1942 by Mr. Jack Usher whose family has used the island exclusively since that time. The family still owns the whole Island and access to all parts of the Island is available to guests. The resort has been developed in the southern part of the Caye and is close to the private creek that divides the Southwest Caye from a neighbour Island.
Glovers Reef is a Managed Resource Area that's part of the National Protected Area System of Belize. It serves the function of wildlife protection, environmental protection, visitation, research and education in addition to allowing controlled extractive use; hence the catch and release policy of fishing. All guests are asked to adhere to the Marine Reserve rules.
Wildlife and environmental protection of Glover's Reef are ensured by the Government of Belize in the form of a Fisheries Protection Vessel stationed at Middle Caye. Located to the North East, Middle Caye also has a research station that provides accommodation for non governmental organisations which study the marine life of the Reef. This protection has helped rebuild fish stocks from over fishing.
The Marine reserve has also benefited by an increased awareness of the need to protect the reef. This awareness is fostered by the resort staff and guides. All protocols given by staff are so that the pristine nature of the area is maintained for the future. Caring for our environment and ecology is important and essential if these islands are to be maintained for future generations.
The waters around the Cayes provides plenty of opportunities to see Turtles, Dolphins, schools of Flying fish and myriad's of sea birds. The Pelican and the Frigate Bird are often seen following the fishing boats into the pier swooping low to see what has been caught. The Island is home to some seagoing Hawks that nest high in the coconut palms. The white sand beaches of the Caribbean are here at the resort. Here you may find conch shells and small pieces of coral. The area has spectacular views of nearby Islands and at night the stars light up the heavens. The moon shines clearly across the open sea and reflects softly on the calm waters.
GETTING HERE
Location: Belize is an independent country in Central America two hours by plane from Miami Houston or Dallas. You'll fly to Belize City on one of three carriers: Continental, American, or Taca. Dangriga Town is located 90 miles south of Belize City by road, a three hour drive from the international airport or 15 minute flight from the International airport.
BOATS TO ISLA MARISOL RESORT, GLOVER'S REEF: Weekly trips leave on the day of your arrival in Belize. Your transfer from Belize City to Dangriga will be organized by us. The costs are included in the package. On the journey, average amounts of luggage plus a small amount of fishing or diving equipment are no problem. There is no food on the boat only water. Bring ready-to-eat snacks. Keep your sunscreen and rain gear handy. The journey by boat usually takes 90 minutes.
Consider flying in a day early if you have the time. By building an extra day into your itinerary, you will arrive on time for your trip and will see much more of the country before visiting the Caye. Please ask for our Belize Trips leaflet for activities and accommodation we can arrange for you. |
