Frenchman Caye close to Belize Barrier Reef - Located only 1 mile away from the Belize Barrier Reef, and less than 9 miles from Belize City situated on Little Frenchman Caye is the tiny island paradise known as Royal Palm Island, nestled away from the 'hustle and bustle’ of city life and where the pace of life is deliberately slow.
As in the famous song line “If a picture paints a thousand words”, then we will let our images and those of our guests do the talking. As a new property we have not yet reached out to seek awards and recognitions for the service we offer or the pristine condition in which the resort is maintained. Our guests are already judges of our efforts and so far we have scored high in keeping everyone fully satisfied.
To fully complement what the island has to offer, we opening “Dream Valley” - a jungle lodge impressively situated overlooking the Belize River in the Cayo district. In a unique arrangement, all inclusive pricing of the two resorts will be paired, allowing for guests to move between resorts a day ahead or behind of their planned schedules subject to availability on the day of course. And if you are all about the beach, then you have found the right address, look no further!
In 2007, Chantal Gerbe, originally hailing from France, bought little Frenchman Caye and embarked on a labour of love. She personally planned and oversaw development of the island, known as a ‘caye’ (pronounced key) in Belize. The original intention was to simply build a nice home for her and her husband to relax away from the city lights and to have some space to welcome friends and family.
After much thought she decided to open the resort to non family and friends as a private island retreat, and what you see today is her pride and joy presented in true island fashion for all to enjoy. As a resort it was not the intention to make it a bastion or refuge only for the super rich, but to build cottages that blend well into the ‘beach easy’ situation. Chantal has perfectly captured the balance of beach life, ample dining, unobtrusive friendly local service and all that visitors will need to feel at home. You will see personal touches and attention to detail from Chantal throughout the island.
The whistle of the wind and the gentle waves lapping on the beach in front of the cottages is the language Chantal wanted to convey to the Island's visitors. Camera in hand, every visitor snaps away happily at the many faces presented during the day, and with the change of seasons and as homage to the guests efforts, Chantal has insisted the resort's photo gallery be comprised only with photos taken by her guests. Vive la difference! |
