Did lighthouse reef resort ever reopen?

Their website says reopening soon...in 2006...and says last updated March 2006. Not real promising gotta wonder if there's anyone home. Sounded like it would be a good place to check out if it really happened, I wonder too.

Wasn't this a premier resort for Belize? Can is disappear without anyone knowing any information? I saw that website before I posted this and thought the reopening in Summer 2006 notice disturbing.

I'll post the question on the Belize Forum - someone there will know.

No one ever responded to that belize forum post. I guess the place is dead if no one on this board has a blue about it. Shame.

So, what's the best place to stay now on the outta atolls (that's not a liveaboard)?

We stayed at the (VERY RUSTIC) Glover's Atoll Resort and were in heaven - fantastic diving and snorkeling from shore. There are several other resorts on neighboring islands, more amenities but much more expensive; Isla Marisol springs to mind. Several lodges on Turneffe, too. Haven't been there but would sure like to go - diving for me and fishing for my husband.

There's some good reviews of Turneffe Lodge.

Blackbird Caye resort is also quite nice and on the atolls. We stayed at LCR the last year it was open and I understand why is it closed. It was an extremely disappointing experience. The boat was horrible (belching black smoke that just about killed us), the staff were apathetic--including most of the DMs and especially management. Thankfully the diving was too good to be ruined!
