Our history Belize family travel, Belize family vacations at a locally owned Belize jungle resort
Our family consists of 12 members: Victor and Teresa are parents of 10 children, Jeronie, Everald, Fernando, Omar, Emelita, Ismelda, Julie, Eric, Carolita and Andy. The Tut family started out as farmers. We spent our days growing and transporting fruits and vegetables by canoe to the town market in San Ignacio and watermelons by truck to Belize City. One day the family dug a pond on the premises and the next day, they found it filled with crystal–clear water. Hence the farm became known as Crystal Farm.
In 1986 an inquiry about lodgings launched the Tuts into visualizing a unique family–style resort. Victor, who was skilled in the construction of traditional thatched–roof buildings, immediately recognized the potential in this non–conventional market and began building cabanas on the family land. When the resort was opened in 1992, “paradise” replaced “farm” in our name to give people an idea of the beauty, tranquility and peacefulness of the area. Hence, Crystal Paradise Resort was born.
Crystal Paradise Resort in Belize is one of the few Belizean owned and operated Belize eco lodge and jungle resorts in western Belize. Our family works together as a team to offer the best hospitality in Belize and our guests will always have a memorable stay with us.
