Piggybacking on Courtney’s blog about the Jaguar Paw, I like the fact that it’s a really cool themed resort with a variety of activities that I would like to partake in on our trip to Belize. And they offer themed rooms. There are 16 rooms available at this location.

They offer activities such as zip lining, rock climbing and repelling, cave tubing, and the Jungle Tumble. What is a Jungle Tumble you might ask? It is the sport of rolling downhill inside a large transparent 11 foot (3.5 meter) inflatable Ball. Can you imagine rolling around a jungle in an inflatable ball? ha I think it sounds pretty silly to be honest. I’d rather walk through the jungle so I can see everything the jungle has to offer. I can’t imagine rolling around in a not so transparent ball would really give me the sense of being in the jungle that I would want to experience.

Oh! And they have a butterfly farm. How exciting! To see tropical butterflies! I’m a fan.

You can also view the Mayan ruins. Apparently, Jaguar Paw is within close distance of two of the most popular Mayan Sites in the country, Xunantunich and Cahal Pech. Viewing the Mayan ruins is an activity on Courtney’s check list. Staying at this location for maybe two days would knock out most of the activity list not involving the ocean. I think this is a go for sure.

Wait, let me check on those air conditioned rooms. Called into their toll free number: Toll Free: 1- 877- 624- 3770.. and my gawd I love that accent! Anyways, Courtney will be VERY pleased to know that the rooms are air conditioned!

Courtney, which themed room should we request? The Wild West (complete with a John Wayne poster, WOW!!!), the Chinese room, the English Country Garden room (me likey), and African (which could be cool too!)?

They offer a video on the website to show the jungle canopy zip-line tour. Why can’t they have something more interesting? I almost fell asleep while watching it. Get some younger people in it please, with some excitement in their voices! (I am such a critic!!!)In fact, I would offer to redo their video, for free. And what is with that elevator music in the background. Some music with a climax and adventure to it would more so represent it. I really need to stop being so darn critical of certain websites and videos because one day someone will cross over this site and tear it up just like I…

Regardless, I like this place. I like all that they have to offer. I like that there is also a restaurant on premise. I like that they have 7 chefs from all over the world preparing food there. Above all, I like that there is WiFi in the bar/restaurant. I can do some updating on the website there, if I deem it safe enough to even bring my computer to Belize. I think I would die if my computer (aka, my boyfriend) was stolen from me, ha.

Now the only downside. The accommodation prices. They are a bit higher than I think we’d like to pay a night for a room (actually, we haven’t set a limit yet). It’s runs about $125 to $135 a night and it includes breakfast. We’re looking at $45 a person for a half day of cave tubing, the aerial trek canopy tour is $55 a person, rock climbing (if Courtney wants do to this) is $45 a person. To go see the Mayan Ruins are $200 for two people or $75 for a group of 4 or more. That is a complete ripoff. The Mayan ruins are something to see- it’s history. It’s ruins… and they are charging us? What. Is that?!

We need to nail down in concrete what we want to do while staying at this location and how many nights we will be there. I know I for sure, 110% want to zip-line through the jungle. It has been on my mind for many years to make it down to the jungle and do that. The cave tubing looks enticing to me too. Those would be my top two.
