Travel Agent Information
TRAVEL AGENT COMMISSION
Coco Plum Island Resort is thrilled to announce our active collaboration with travel agents. We're excited to begin this partnership and deeply value the connections we're fostering with agents. We want to stress the importance of your clients booking their stays through you. However, we understand that we cannot control whether clients decide to contact us directly, and often we're unaware when this occurs. To best support your efforts, we kindly ask that you encourage your clients to book through your services and to inform us if they plan to reach out to us independently. As we navigate this evolving landscape, we remain dedicated to providing exceptional experiences and look forward to working together to create unforgettable moments for your clients on our beautiful island paradise. Please review some of our most frequently asked questions.

Getting To Know Belize
Once known as "Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret" Belize is now an alluring travel destination for people from all walks of life. With private beaches, lush rain forests, and a rich cultural history dating all the way back to the ancient Maya, it's a country that offers something for everyone. Belize is home to a wealth of natural wonders offering unrivaled diving, untouched coral patches, dense jungle, and an underground Mayan world rich with history. From its pristine tropical rainforest to the largest barrier reef in the world, Belize is every traveler's dream come true.
The Journey
In more recent years, getting to Belize from North America has gotten much faster with direct, nonstop flights from major cities. As the only English-speaking nation in Central America, bordered and strongly influenced by the shores of the Caribbean, Belize is at the epicenter of every wanderlust traveler's dreams.
In the United States, American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, Sun Country Airlines, United Airlines, and others all now operate flights to Belize (code: BZE) from nearly a dozen major cities, including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Denver, Minneapolis, and Miami. There are also flights from Toronto, Cancun, Merida, Roatan, Panama City, San Pedro Sula, San Salvador. Currently, all international flights to Belize land at the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). Kindly note, rates do not include international travel.
The Weather
Unlike most other parts of the world, Belize only has two seasons - wet and dry. Our "dry" season is our peak season for visitors who come looking to escape a bleak and dreary Northern winter. The dry season begins in late November (around Thanksgiving) and ends in May. Within our dry season, however, there are three months that are especially the warmest and driest of them all: March, April, and May. That means these months are prime months for all aquatic activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, diving, snorkeling, fishing and so much more!
The Locals
What makes Belize unique is quite simple: its people. As a small nation with a little over 400,000 residents, Belize is a melting pot of various cultures. With its British colonial ties, Carib settlers, Central American neighbors, and more recent immigrants from around the world, you will surely meet friendly locals with interesting stories. Although most cultures have their own native tongue, English is the official language of Belize, making it easy for tourists to navigate and form a connection with the locals.
