Soursop (Guanabana)

Green, prickly skin with soft, fleshy white interior and lots of black seeds. Perfect when scooped out of the skin, served cold with milk and sugar; not overly sweet, but has a distinct flavor.

Custard Apple (Annona)

Size and shape is like an over-sided apple. Skin is a mottled pinkish-red and the actual fruit is whitish-pink with small seeds; sweet, distinct flavor.

Craboo (Nance Cherry)

Small, bright yellow, berry-like fruit with a hard seed inside; sweet when ripe.

Mammy Apple (Sapote)

Hard, brown outer shell while interior is burnt-orange, smooth and sweet; has a large black seed.

We couldn’t think of a better way to combine our love for cocktails and helping our local school, so we came up with The Succotz Cocktail: Sweet Corn and Banana Colada with a Choco Banana treat. All proceeds go to Succotz Primary School. Now who says a drinking habit is a bad thing?

This weekend we took a little trip to Hopkins, a Garifuna Village 2 hours from Ka’ana. The area is surrounded by the Maya Mountains and Caribbean sea. We were struck by all the candy-colored homes on stilts, clothes lines zigzagging the yard, and all the locals bicycling around. Felt like a different world!

Local Church – So Picturesque…

Oh, And Hopkins Is On The Beach!

Check out our new villas! It was worth the blood, sweat and tears in making them. I mean, everyone needs a plunge pool now and then, right? More details and images to come, but our first guests said “Perfection!“
