The wine cellar at the Ka'ana Boutique Resort & Spa is another of the Belize hotels distinctive qualities. Refreshingly cool, the burnished room holds a menagerie of local liqueurs and international wines hard to come by in Belize.
Before dinner, guests gather in the wine cellar with Davies, and sample exclusively Belizean beverages. In Central America, the opportunity to mingle with other hotel guests is rare outside the backpacker circuit, and I appreciated the chance to swap stories with other travelers: Is this your first time in Belize? What drew you to Cayo and Kaana? What did you find in your refrigerator last night?
