Leonardo DiCaprio To Build Eco-Hotel in Belize

The rumor mill has been running this weekend on just what one of the hotel world's favorite guests, Leonardo DiCaprio, has got up his wealthy sleeve. Apparently he's taking his environmental passion to a new level and plans to open a new eco-hotel in the Caribbean.

DiCaprio already owns some jungle land in Belize and has allegedly struck a deal with the Four Seasons Hotel Group to build a green hotel there. The fine green details of what will make this resort a real eco-resort and not just a destruction of jungle haven't been released yet, but must be known because they're saying construction will start in January 2008. Word is that it'll be a super-luxury yet green resort, probably ready for a few of his Hollywood mates to enjoy a private vacation there. But seriously, check out his Eco-Site if you're still not sure if his green plans are for real.

Is this... (none / 0)

the same hotel he was planning/talking about over two years ago?

If so, what is slowing him down?  Lemme guess...his Columbian stone is being held hostage by guerrillas...

If he is indeed doing this, he's putting his money where his mouth is...

I read someplace that the island is barely above sea level and only several hundred feet wide at one point (debatable to be sure).

So if there is such a thing as global warming, the whole place will be submerged.
