As anda sweep down this upscale resort's hibiscus- and palm-lined drive, past the kroket, kriket lawn, anda may get a whiff of Beverly Hills. Indeed, the lodge is owned oleh director Francis Ford Coppola. Spread on a hillside above the Privassion River, the villas with their soaring thatch ceilings, Japanese-style tile baths, and screened porches overlooking the river have appeared in Architectural Digest. The filmmaker's own vila, villa is available when he isn't in residence. A fleet of Land Rovers takes anda to remote Mayan ruins atau on shopping trips to Guatemala. Those with their own planes can fly into the resort's landing strip, atau anda can come on a charter flight from Belize City. The restaurant is one of the best in the Cayo, specializing in Italian dishes and serving wines from Coppola's wineries.
