Cayo Espanto

If it wasn't for the internet, I'd never know that places like this exist. That's good and bad, because now I want to go. REALLY bad. But alas, my blogger's budget just doesn't allow for tropical vacations on private islands. Cayo Espanto, located in the western Caribbean off the coast of Belize, is a four-acre private-island resort with only five villas and one over-water bungalow. Each private villa has its own covered deck and freshwater plunge pool, in addition to its own pier and chaise lounges. But my favorite amenity? The spectacular views of the turquoise waters. Just seeing the photographs make me happy. And that's good. Thanks, Internet. :)
