Available from June 1 to November 30, 2008, all three packages include round-trip airfare within Belize, land transfers, luxury air-conditioned accommodations, three daily meals at the Inn's gourmet restaurant and complimentary use of the hotel's three pools, Jacuzzis, tennis courts and other amenities.

For bold, more active, or families with teen travelers, the Inn is offering the 7N 2008 Summer Adventure Package, which includes a full-day snorkeling trip off of Belize's Barrier Reef, an excursion to ancient Mayan ruins and cave swimming in Blue Creek. Travelers who book this $1,717/person package will get the chance to explore Belize's beautiful natural landscape on a full-day guided Monkey River float and trail walk. This 7N/8D special also includes a visit to the Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve where adventurers can view exotic flora and fauna, swim under a waterfall and go river tubing.

Travelers who prefer more activity in the water, and hold PADI scuba certification, can book the 7N 2008 Summer Dive Odyssey," featuring a thrilling dive off Belize's Barrier Reef with professional instructors at the Inn's Dive Center. The Dive Odyssey offers a 4N/5D stay at $1,155/person as well as a 7N/8D stay at $2,003/person and guests can choose from All-Dive, Snorkel & Dive and Eco-Dive packages.

If vacationers are looking for less adventure and more relaxation, or traveling with younger kids, they can book the Inn's 4N 2008 Summer Beach Odyssey. This package gives guests plenty of time on the beach as well as two excursions, a full-day snorkel trip and the Monkey River trail walk. The Beach Odyssey package starts at $1,140/person for a 4N/5D stay or $2,486/person for a 12N/13D escape.

After a long day of adventures, guests can (for an additional charge) treat themselves to massages, facials and manicures at the Inn's Sea Spa or stop by the Habanero Mexican Cafe and Bar for sunset cocktails and late night drinks.
