Holy goodness! This place serves THE BEST Indian food. The chef is from Mumbai, worked at a 5🌟hotel in Dubai, as well as India. 
For the record my boyfriend hates curry and has never eaten Indian food but loved this place. The Naan is just the best thing ever. The staff is great, and they even have a tuk tuk that will pick you up from your hotel and drive you back and forth.

Surfside

Though Surfside may not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Maya Beach and Placencia Beach.

We spent all our time in Belize in the Placencia area and were not disappointed as it is very beautiful and there is plenty to do. Placencia Village itself is a sweet laid back small town with plenty of cafes and an artsy vibe.
