Turtle Inn Belize is a definitely a gem of paradise with the miles and miles of pristine white sand beaches, luxury but rustic cabanas and intimate privacy it offers. It is located on the southern coast, near the fishing town of Placencia which is at the southern tip of a 15-mile peninsula in the Stann Creek District of Belize; and a stunning lagoon separates the island from mainland Belize.
In order to get to the resort, you first need to get to Belize City which is only a two hour flight from New Orleans, Miami, or Houston. From Belize City, the private island aircraft of the resort will transport you to the resort. The private charter plane is called 'The Sofia' and is named after Coppola's daughter. For an alternative route, you will be glad to know that commercial airlines and buses travel between Belize City and Placencia. A motor boat can then transfer you from Placencia to the resort itself.
