Leonardo DiCaprio’s highly-anticipated Caribbean hotel project is moving forward.
Blackadore Caye, set on a private island off the coast of Belize, will aim to set a new standard for green hospitality and local ecosystem restoration.
For the last six months, DiCaprio and his team have been gathering feedback from local stakeholders and citizens on the original project design, developers said.
