There are several criteria used to pick destinations in this “Off the Beaten Track” series. Obscurity is one criterion, naturally. But then there are levels of and different kinds of obscurity. Some of the resorts covered are little known due to the uniqueness of location, (Fantasy Point); some are chosen because of their total anonymity, (Flores Villas) and still others are selected based on the inimitability of style like this week’s selection, Lee Side Rooms on Caye Caulker.

There are a whole lot of undiscovered, undeveloped tourist spots in the Corozal District. It’s a district that is still in its fledgling stage of tourism growth.  Nonetheless, there are hidden treasures galore nestled all along the 15 miles of the Progresso Lagoon. Spectacular sights, unexcavated Mayan sites and cultural melting pots are there ready to be discovered all through the lagoon and coastal areas of our northernmost district.
