If you are headed through Maya Center, in Dangriga or even Hopkins, Maya Center Museum is a must stop, Julio and his family are gracious hosts who welcome all like family. They happily hosted my study abroad groups hear after year for meals, museum tours, and even chocolate demonstrations. Julio is a charismatic host and was willing to accommodate dietary needs and our travel schedules. The museum is well-put-together and includes interactive portions, perfect for student groups (including tortilla making, cacao milling, and sugar cane crushing) It has been a pleasure to keep in touch with Julio after many years and see how his business has grown.

Amazed at the room that up to 6 people would share. A great history lesson on the slaves and the creole language. I always wondered why their accent sounded very close to a Jamaican patois.
