The Inn at Robert’s Grove, Belize.

In 2001, we took over the management of The Inn at Robert's Grove in Belize.

When we arrived after a 17 day road trip from Vancouver, Canada, we were not prepared to find the resort we had accepted to run a shambles, but, thanks to Hurricane Iris, it was a mess! Sailboats were fifteen feet up in the trees, the pools were filled to the brim with sand, all the air-conditioning units were toast from water damage. There was over $300,000 damage which we had to repair while taking over the manageent of the resort.

Three years later when we decided to leave Belize, we had successfully reconstructed the entire resort, built a first class Dive Operation and Marina, a Mexican Restaurant, Fitness Club, Gift Shop, Internet Room, Spa and Conference Facility, a new pool, 16 additional condos, sold over 1.5 million dollars of managed condominiums and maintained a 65% occupancy rate.

In short, we had resurrected an operation that could have floundered for months. With our expertise, it stayed open, fully operational and popular.

We were named the Top Five Star Resort Managers in Belize the next year.

The following pages contain a few images of the resort as we rebuilt it.
