We took over Francis Ford Coppola's private island in Belize for 3 days

We're kicking 2022 off with a bang by taking over the private island of the Godfather of Cinema: Francis Ford Coppola. In this Belize travel vlog, we show you one of the coolest things to do in Belize. After flying first class (upgraded for free because of our Premier 1k Mileage Plus status with United) to Belize City, we took a puddle jumper down to Turtle Inn resort in Placencia, where we would catch a 30-minute boat ride to Coral Caye.

Now, our Belize 2021 trip already rewarded us with an entire week at Turtle Inn (that's a separate episode), but Coral Caye was on a whole other level because we had this private island all to ourselves (other than the 3 full-time butler/chef/hosts who catered to our every whim).

Belize travel 2022 is great because the covid travel is getting so much easier. And staying with Family Coppola Hideaways again (they also have a jungle lodge Belize resort) was great because the staff already knew our names.
