Experience Dining at Casa Nova Cabanas
At Casa Nova, dinner is more than a meal. It is a taste of Belize, shared with the people you love.
Cook with Chef Jaime
Step into the kitchen with our private chef, Jaime, and learn the dishes that have been passed down through Belizean families for generations. He guides you step by step, from seasoning to the final plating. You will learn the Creole, Garifuna and Mestizo flavors that make Belizean cooking special: coconut rice and beans, slow-simmered stew chicken, fresh-caught seafood, hand-rolled tortillas and warm, flaky fry jacks. Whether you've cooked for years or never held a ladle, you'll leave with new skills and a deeper connection to Belizean culture. Then you sit down together and enjoy what you made.
Private Romantic Dinners at Sunset
When the day softens, we set the table for two. Enjoy a private dinner on the west side of Ambergris Caye, with the Belizean sunset spreading across the sky right in front of you. Candlelight, the sea breeze and a menu crafted by Chef Jaime make it an evening you won't forget. It's the perfect final touch for an anniversary, a honeymoon, a proposal or any night with the one you love.
Cook it. Taste it. Share it. Only at Casa Nova.

“Cooking with Chef Jaime at Casa Nova was the highlight of our trip. He walked us through each step of the dishes, explaining the traditions behind them, and made it fun even for beginners. Then we sat down to eat what we'd made, with the sunset right in front of us. It felt like a taste of real Belize, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.”
