Jeff & Michelle's Wedding
December 2010

Thank you for checking out our website and our story.

First of all, we want to thank you all for the love, support and friendship you have given us since the beginning.  When could the statement "Everything happens for a reason" be so perfect??
 
Six years ago, Jeff and I were at the same point in our lives, both ready to start the next chapter.  It was now so clear what we wanted and needed,  happiness, humor, honesty, togetherness, unconditional love, understanding, fun, trust, and someone to grow old with.

It seems like a fairy tale to find your match.  So how fortunate are we?

Was it destiny from the start?  By the look on Jeff's face, it's almost as if Jeff knew.

And so it is!  Belize, December 2010!  Unique and not stupid is something you will hear around our house quite often.  Well, mission accomplished!  After months of searching, Belize just sort of fell into our laps.  The exact setting we had hoped to find.  Funny how things work out.

We are so happy to have you even consider traveling with us.  For us, there could be no better gift than to celebrate with you.

With much love,
Jeff & Michelle

Ramon's Village Resort

4-Night Stay ~ Dec. 4-8, 2010

Ramon's Village Resort
Lose yourself in the island accommodations at Ramon's Village Resort–the best of Belize resorts! An exotic beachside island paradise awaits you! Marvel at our stunning, authentic thatched roof cabanas, tropical lagoon-style pool, fabulous restaurant and the world-famous Purple Parrot all the while being pampered by our renowned staff.

Island Life
The historic fishing village of San Pedro is a short 5 minute walk up the beach from Ramon's Village Resort. This charming village is situated on Ambergris Caye, the jewel of more than 1,000 islands and cayes scattered throughout the western Caribbean waters of Belize.

San Pedro's Front Street is lined with gift shops, boutiques and art galleries. Cafes with local and international cuisine are plentiful. One of the most famous restaurants in San Pedro is Elvi's Kitchen. Here, locals and tourists sit side-by-side enjoying Ms. Elvi's home cooking. If you get to meet Ms. Elvi, tell her Richard and Gina said, "hello."

Restaurants on Location
Ramon's Village boasts its own superb restaurant with chef Rommy Kie and his staff of professionals. They are routinely recognized by our guests as the finest crew on the entire island. Rommy offers a wide range of delicacies including oriental, cajun and local favorites. You won't want to miss the weekly beach barbecues and the Sunday Buffet.

Our restaurant is situated in the center of the resort. You may choose to dine indoors or outside on one of our palm shaded multilevel verandas overlooking the Caribbean.

Vacation in Belize
For your comfort, we provide beach lounge chairs with cushions and also hammocks.

When the Belizean sun starts to warm you up, expect a visit from the Purple Parrot staff, ready to take your order for a cold refreshing tropical fruit drink.

The Beach at Ramon's
There are many activities and excursions to choose from, but for some, the beach at Ramon's is just their cup of tea.

With 500 feet of white coral sand and coconut palms you should be able to find the perfect spot to relax with a good book.

The Pool at Ramon's
Our pool is "the pool of Belize." There is nothing else like it on the island or in the rest of the country. Protected by the island king, "Rey Ramon," the pool is home to a 12-foot tall stone outcropping hand-carved by Floyd Moro. The sculpture was carved from stone blocks cast exactly as Floyd's Mayan ancestors did centuries ago.

Over eighty feet long the pool is designed with irregular curves, creating coves and peninsulas. Quarry stones perimeterize the irregular shape of the pool and accentuate the jungle lagoon effect you feel when you first see or step into it.

Seating ledges are located in the pool allowing you to sit and relax while enjoying a cool tropical beverage from the Purple Parrot.

One end of the pool winds its way back into total seclusion surrounded by crotons, banana trees, bougainvillea and birds of paradise. It is shaded by royal and coconut palms. This end, called "lover's cove" has nine stimulating power massage outlets.

The Pier at Ramon's
Our pier extends from the beach over 420 feet, enabling our guests to enjoy the invigorating sea breeze and spectacular views of the reef to the fullest. Not only is the pier home to our two dive shops and numerous dive boats, we have a section reserved just for you. If you like to swim or sunbathe, take advantage of the swim platform with ladders leading into the ocean. While you're in the water be sure to take a look under the pier -- you'll be amazed at what you might see: schools of fish, a canon and two anchors from an old Spanish galleon, ...just for starters.

Situated at the end of the pier are four thatched roof palapas with comfortable seating for a couple or a group. From here you can let time pass you by as you gaze out over the azure blue waters and listen to the hypnotic sound of waves crashing over the reef.

After sunset, the end of the pier gives you the perfect vantage point for watching the brilliant Belizean sky come to life with its legions of stars, sparkling in the heavens as though they were brand new.
