Chaa Creek: Paradise in Paradise | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Washington Times has a great article on Chaa Creek, keeping Cayo in the spotlight.  It even has a concise version of their history.  

 

"Living so close to the land had a profound affect on the Flemings.  They became environmentally savvy and, as time passed, they began to develop a philosophy that contemporary luxury could, indeed, exist in harmony with nature.  Today Mick, with his tussled hair, khaki shorts and shirt and mud-covered boots, resembles a modern version of 'Jungle Jim.'  His youthful enthusiasm, exuberance and energy are infectious.  It only takes one encounter with the owner to understand how Chaa Creek Resort evolved into an elegant paradise in the middle of the Belizean jungle.  Four years after buying the land, Mick and Lucy opened a thatched roof jungle lodge.  It was the first of its kind in Belize.  Today, the jungle has been replaced by lush landscaping and more accommodations."
