If you are planning an adventure vacation anytime soon, I highly suggest Caves Branch Jungle Lodge. Our bungalow was everything you could imagine, including a spider bigger than Pete's hand.
Highlights include:
1. Hiking in the rain forest
2. Repelling off a 300 foot cliff
3. Rock climbing off a waterfall and then jumping off said waterfall
4. The Carribean and Pina Coladas
5. Crossing the border into Guatemala and having the Belizean Passport agent look at my passport, smirk, laugh to himself and say, "hah, any relation to Deuce?"
6. Mayan Ruins
7. Conquering a HUGE fear of snakes. We were in the jungle, so there were a lot of snakes. We didn't see many but knew they were all around.
8. Nightly Belikins at the lodge with our adventure friends
9. Real Pineapple Juice. We are not talking Dole here, people. Un-frigging-real
10. Guatemalan Coffee. Jump starts a heart and tastes caramelly and delicious.
11. Six whole days with my husband. This was our first trip where it was all about us. Awww...
Here I am repelling off a rock down into the rainforest. Once you get off the rock and are just kind of floating above the canopy, it's a pretty amazing experience. The walking off the rock thing...well, let's just say I might not choose that as my first adventure next time.
We didn't get to snorkel because of a tropical wave, but as you can see we had a nice view to keep us busy: 
Our trip to Guatemala to see the Mayan Ruins in Tikal:
Our next big adventure is planned for Spring '08. We are heading to India to visit some friends. There are also slight murmurs around the house about hiking Rainer in July...if only we had unlimited airline miles and days off.
