Escape Houston for an Adults Only Private Island Resort in Belize

Houston in the morning. Private island time that afternoon. With an early flight that connects with Coco Plum’s scheduled transfers, your Belize getaway can begin the same day you leave home.

On September 16, 2026, Coco Plum Island Resort brought a little island sunshine to KHOU 11’s Great Day Houston. During the “Pack Your Bags” segment, Kimberly Castillo shared the family story and personal hospitality behind this Belizean-owned, adults-only private island resort.

For Houstonians dreaming of Caribbean views, a slower pace, and a place where you’re more than a room number, here’s a closer look.

Watch Coco Plum on Great Day Houston

What makes a stay at Coco Plum special? It starts with the people. As a locally owned, family-run resort, welcoming guests is personal, from the first arrival greeting to the friendships that develop during a stay.

In the segment, Kimberly introduces viewers to the island and the warm Belizean hospitality at the heart of the experience. Watch below for a little inspiration for your next escape.

From Houston to Private Island Time

A nonstop flight from Houston to Belize City puts your island escape within reach. Once you arrive in Belize, your journey continues with a shared ground shuttle to Dangriga, followed by a boat ride to Coco Plum.

To make the most of your first afternoon, choose an early flight that connects with the first scheduled transfer. Guests arriving at Belize International Airport by 12:30 p.m. can connect with the 1:30 p.m. shuttle and the 3 p.m. boat to the island.

Our reservations team can help you confirm the timing before you book your airfare. Visit our Getting Here page for transfer details and arrival guidance.

Then it’s time to settle in, enjoy a welcome drink, and let your vacation begin.

An All Inclusive Stay with a Personal Touch

At Coco Plum, you can spend your days exploring or simply enjoying the view. Our All Inclusive Snorkel Package brings the essentials together, including:

• Accommodations in a private cabana
• Three meals daily and unlimited local drinks
• Scheduled guided snorkeling excursions based on your length of stay
• Use of kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear
• Shared round-trip ground and boat transfers

International airfare is separate. For guests who want to add more adventure, optional mainland excursions offer opportunities to explore Mayan ruins, go cave tubing, or try ziplining.

Make Yourself at Home on the Island

Some days call for snorkeling and paddleboarding. Others call for a hammock, a good book, and nowhere in particular to be.

Coco Plum’s intimate, adults-only setting leaves room for both. Get to know the team, linger over a meal, or spend an afternoon taking in the Caribbean views. For an extra treat, book a treatment at the overwater Serenity Spa, available at an additional cost.

It’s this combination of island relaxation and personal connection that gives guests reasons to return.
