Robert’s Grove Summer…2

The Placencia area is has over 20 named dive sites right off the coast, which are teeming with marine life, underwater gardens and coral formations. Nitrox diving is also now offered at the resort.

Owned by New York natives Risa and Robert Frackman, the 52-room Inn in Placencia, Southern Belize, has impressive distinctions: the most modern, well-equipped and best staffed PADI dive center in the area, complete with 48’ PRO dive boat for daily two-tank dives (and Nitrox diving) and diving for whale sharks (during Whale Shark Season, April through June); two private islands for “Swept Away” get-away-from-it-all-vacations or day outings, and a sport fishing center with new 23’ skiffs, licensed guides and instruction and a chance for a “grand slam.” All of the tours are resort operated so it’s possible to book in late afternoon for the following morning’s outing.

On 22 acres with its own marina, the Inn offers beautifully appointed hacienda style accommodations, all beachfront or beach view. Rooms and suites are spacious and feature air conditioning, ceiling fans, telephones, cable TV, private baths and terraces and rooftop Jacuzzis. Other resort facilities include two restaurants, three 50-foot freshwater swimming pools, guest Internet and computer center, and Sea Spa.

On the southern peninsula of Belize, Placencia is reached by an under two hour flight from Miami, Dallas, and Houston, or 4 ½ hours from metro New York to Belize City followed by a 35 minute commuter flight.
