If your weekend activity calendar looks boring, blank or bare and you’re in or around Belize, you owe it to yourself to grab a friend and head to the Costa Maya Festival in Ambergris Caye this weekend where revelers gather to honor Mayan heritage, Belize’s contemporary vibe and the nation’s bright future.
But suppose you’re not in Belize. Can you still get to this fiesta in time to get in on the fun? You bet. Airlines leave U.S. southern points daily, and in some cases, you won’t even have to change the time on your watch to fit right into the party scene from the moment you land.
But before you catch that plane, you’ll need a place to stay and nothing is closer to the action than the Sun Breeze Hotel (http://www.sunbreeze.net/). It’s the ideal accommodation for a respite from the Costa Maya Festival, so your room offers refuge when you need to unwind, relax and prepare for all three nights of fun.
What can you expect when you show up at this international extravaganza? A multi-cultural experience that includes dancing, music, food, a beauty pageant filled with remarkable women competing from most countries in Central America–and even if you claim to be an expert on the topic of Mayan culture, you’ll learn more about this intriguing society.
Are you a star gazer? Not the summer sky, silly—we’re referring to guests coming to the Costa Maya Festival from all walks of life. Hobnob with entertainers, officials, celebrities and people who are famous for being famous if you come. See who you can spot and plan your photo bombing strategies accordingly.
Bring your appetite, too. Divide your dining between the onsite eatery at the Sun Breeze and the food stalls and restaurants caught up in the Costa Maya Festival theme–and if you haven’t gotten your fill by the end of the weekend, extend your Sun Breeze booking and ask staff to hook you up with tours and excursions.
In Belize, it pays to be impetuous and live life in the impromptu lane, so don’t let the sun go down on you today without figuring out your game plan for the coming Costa Maya Festival. You know you love a good party and things don’t get more festive than this event.
