Lucy said that Chaa Creek’s commitment to
the environment and community is a natural
response to living and raising a family in Be-
lize, where goodwill and assistance between
neighbours and colleagues is enshrined in the
old Belizean saying of; “Hand wash Hand”.
“We’ve been so blessed by living here, and
having received so much from the land and
the people, that it’s only natural to try to give
back where and when we can.
“Helping one another is a very Belizean in-
stinct, and just one of the things that makes
life here so rewarding. It’s fostered an ethos
of contributing to both the land and society
that nurtured us,” she explains.
Lucy said Chaa Creek will continue to abide
by that ethos as the resort continues grow-
ing and as she and Mick continually discover
new ways for visitors to enjoy an authentic,
satisfying jungle experience.
“There’s nothing like seeing the look on our
guests faces, young, old and in-between, as
they connect with nature and discover what
I can only describe as the magic of Belize.
“That’s really what it’s all about,” she smiles.
