About the Island
The Belize barrier reef and is just a few miles off the private Island. Stretching along the entire coast of Belize, the offshore reef is one of the country's greatest natural treasures. Officially part of the greater Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System and measuring some 560 miles (900 kilometers) long, it is the largest living coral reef system in the Northern Hemisphere and second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.
This Island is an ideal destination for beachcombers and nature lovers alike. We can’t wait for you to experience our Belize island adventures. You can snorkel, scuba dive, fish and explore the wonders of the Belize mainland with our friendly and knowledgeable guides. Hobie Cat Wave, kayaks and stand up paddle boards are always complimentar . We invite you to enjoy the simplicity of island life surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Ignite your taste buds!
Influenced by the culturally rich Belizean heritage, our Belize private island restaurant, they serve a delectable variety of Belizean cuisine. Meals are truly a unique, amazing blend of homestyle cooking methods, all inspired by traditional Maya, Mestizo, and Garifuna fares — and made with plenty of love by our in-house chef, Ms. Jude and her team. With a flavorful Caribbean flare, guests enjoy the chef’s special selections for breakfast and lunch; and bask in the Caribbean moonlight while dining each night. An exquisite three course a la carte dinner with a salad/soup, entree (you will be given four options), and dessert is offered nightly. The ambiance of the islands indoor and outdoor overwater dining setting is charming to say the least. Toast to love, indulge in a candlelit dinner, or take in the awe-inspiring sea vistas while the cool, sea breeze washes over you. All dishes are also customized for our guests with any sort of dietary restriction, allergy or food preferences.

Tips/Gratuities:
- The package rates do not include gratuities. We have developed a suggested gratuities guide in response to guest feedback. Please bear in mind that it is meant only as a guide for you. The actual amount is left totally to your discretion and dependent upon the quality of service. The resort suggests between USD$450-$550 per couple for a six to seven night stay for the entire staff.
- Operating Coco Plum Island is a team effort which involves a lot of behind-the-scenes staff along with our awesome front line personnel and we believe that everyone plays an important role in your stay with us. If you decide to leave a gratuity, it is entirely up to your discretion and is based on the quality of service you received. There is nothing too small or big and anything is appreciated.
- Because they are an all inclusive property, the resort advise against tipping individually on a daily basis so that you do not have to worry about carrying cash/credit cards with you while you are enjoying your vacation. Instead, we strongly suggest that you finalize your tips at the front desk upon checkout where you are able to write your specific instructions regarding your tip amount and how you would like it to be distributed along with your signature.
- Utilizing the front desk as the contact point is essential to ensuring that tips will be sent to our accounting department, which manages proper and transparent distribution through the staff's bank accounts. If you would like to add the tip to your order choose the appropriate amount when placing order and we will handle giving the cash to them at the end our trip.

How Your Payment Is Used
A Clear Breakdown for All IOS Connections/ Raw Getaways Vacations.
When you book a room or event package through IOS Connections/ Raw Getaways, your
payment covers two separate components:
1. Resort Portion (Contracted Room Rate)
This is the amount forwarded directly to the resort (Hedonism, Temptation, Belize, Secrets, etc.). It covers:
• Your room accommodations
• Resort taxes and fees
• Any contracted group rate items
This portion is sent to the resort on your behalf and appears as your resort credit.
2. IOS Connections Service & Administrative Fees
This portion covers the work we do outside of the resort rate, including:
• Event planning and contract negotiations
• Guest support and concierge services
• Billing, payment processing, and account management
• Week management, theme nights, hosts, online groups, and staffing
• Vendor coordination
• On-site assistance and issue resolution
• All backend administrative operations
These fees allow IOS Connections / DPW to operate independently from the resort
and provide the level of service our guests expect.
Why Your Resort Credit May Be Less Than Your Total Payment
Because your total payment includes both the resort’s contracted room rate and
iOS service/administrative fees, the full amount you pay does not transfer to the
resort as a one-to-one resort credit.
This is standard across the travel and events industry.
Why This Matters During Emergencies
If a trip is impacted by a hurricane, natural disaster, or other major event:
• The resort portion follows resort policies and protection plans (such as CFAR).
• The service & administrative portion supports operational costs linked to guest
management, reassignments, and event changes.
This ensures your booking is supported even in unexpected situations.
Our Promise
We are committed to:
• Full transparency
• High-quality guest support
• Providing the best possible weekly experiences
• Being clear about how payments are allocated
• Protecting your bookings and advocating for our guests with all partner resorts
