A Weekend to Improve Your Marriage and Communication

Sometimes we “forget” our spouse.

Not literally, but in a way we really do.

We get wrapped up in the stress of raising the kids, pressures of work and living…

…and we forget why we fell in love, who we are married to, the special moments that brought us together…

And we live along side each other almost like roommates. Not soulmates.

We are guilty of falling into this pattern of rote too and so we have renewed our commitment to each other.

Schedule time alone, to work on the state of our “union”. Marriage maintenance is needed in nearly all relationships at some time. Come work on your marriage with us in the paradise of tropical Belize.

If you feel the same way, (especially after covid!) and you’d like to renew your commitment to each other, fall back in love, reawaken old feelings and truly experience joy together again, ask us about the Getting the Love You Want weekend getaway in Belize!

Coronavirus notwithstanding, you can’t wait to work on your marriage until it’s dry and depleted…

That’s why we’ve planned a safe couples therapy getaway for you, with multiple Covid19 safety precautions, so that you don’t need to wait and can getaway now to do much needed work together.

Join us in 2023-2024 at our next tropical retreat for Imago couples!

You’ll have time recharge and renew both your physical body on the beautiful beaches and luxury accommodations of Naia Resort and Spa and restore your spirit by revitalizing the connection between and the one you fell in love with all those years ago. Therapy will be work, but by the last few days you’re both going to experience a romantic couples getaway that wasn’t possible before imago therapy.

Invite your spouse to join you on this journey together to become better partners for each other and improve your communication and understanding of one another.

Spend a weekend recommitting to your #couplegoals and actually achieve and create a beautiful future for your relationship together! An imago marriage counseling retreat in the Caribbean might be just the thing you both need to get your relationship back on track.

Text, Call or Register now to getaway to Belize and finally Get the Love You Want!

The resort believes strongly in giving back to the community by providing living wage employment for locals, participating in local philanthropic projects and giving guests the opportunity to give back through Pack for a Purpose, a program designed to deliver needed supplies to support children in a local village.

The therapist at the retreat was wonderful for us. The whole program is exactly what we needed! – S.A + J.T

Planning to spend the day exploring on Saturday, it is absolutely wonderful here. The hotel is the best and everyone here treats us with such kindness! The food is amazing, my room is perfect and beautiful. Thank you so much for creating this experience for us! -B.N.

We had a wonderful experience. Dave and Donna were fabulous, so inspiring, encouraging and authentic. We both learned a lot about ourselves and our childhood issues affecting our communication. We realized we’ve got some more healing work to do and would love to talk with you regarding follow up therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my flight gets cancelled?

As the flight is booked separately from the registration fee, it is best for you to book refundable tickets. Usually, if an airline cancels a flight, you will be reimbursed.

We strongly recommend that you purchase flight cancellation insurance to protect yourself from unexpected circumstances that may cause you to cancel your retreat. Cancellation of any travel plans, airlines, etc. will be completely your responsibility.

What if I test positive for Covid and cannot attend?

If you are not able to attend, due to COVID, your monies will be applied towards a future retreat.

If the retreat has not been cancelled by us, and you cancel within 30 days of the retreat, you will be able to apply the funds towards a future retreat. If you need to cancel over 31 days, you will receive your money back minus the nonrefundable deposit.

What if the retreat gets cancelled?

If we need to cancel the retreat for safety or lack of attendance reasons, you will be fully refunded. We are not responsible for any non refundable or non-transferable air tickets or other unrecoverable travel costs that you may have incurred.

Does Belize require a Covid PCR test?

Belize does not currently require a Covid test for entry. To learn more about arriving in Belize and the national Gold Standard Health and Safety Guidelines, please click on the link below for the Belize Tourism Board – https://www.travelbelize.org/health-safety/

Which airport?

We are located within the Cocoplum Resort Community, a 200-acre private reserve situated at Mile 17.5 on the Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize, just south of Maya Beach and north of Seine Bight village. Naia is a 15-minute drive from Placencia Village and its airstrip.

For guests flying to Belize from overseas, you will arrive at Belize City’s Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). From there, the more adventurous may choose to rent a car and take the scenic three-hour drive that takes you west through the coastal plain and then winds southeast through the scenic hills of the Hummingbird Highway before heading south to Placencia. Best done during daylight hours, the mini road trip will see you pass through the mysterious and magical Maya Mountains, a mountain range that runs through Belize and eastern Guatemala.

For those preferring a more streamlined arrival, convenient connections can easily be made directly through us on our local partner airline, Maya Island Air. An adventure of its own, Maya Island Air will fly you directly from the International Airport to the local Placencia airstrip in a small 14-seater plane where you may even get to sit next to the pilot! You’ll fly over the Caribbean Sea and the length of our home peninsula, and once there, you’ll be met by one of our friendly drivers and transported directly to the resort in our Naia van.
