4 Reviews of Property 387874 on Ambergris Caye, Belize

We had a great time at your place, Alvin and Rose were very helpful, seeing to all our needs, making our stay comfortable and stress free. I will definitely recommend this condo to all my friends! The complimentary boat ride into town was a real money saver. And once again we appreciate all your help with our questions regarding planning our first trip to Belize.

Our family of 4 stayed in the downstairs condo for a week at the end of August. (We were a little concerned that it was the rainy season, but apparently we hit it during the "mauger" - the dry spell during the rainy season!) the weather was perfect, the condo beautiful, and we dubbed it our little slice of paradise.

We had the entire place to ourselves, and took full advantage of the complimentary kayaks. We kayaked to Mexico Rocks every day but one (more on that in a sec) and snorkeled. It is worth the investment to get your own snorkeling equipment. Make sure you have a dry snorkel. Even though the water inside the reef is relatively calm, it can get choppy and you don't want a mouthful of sea water, ever. The use of kayaks and proximity to a diving/snorkeling destination should not be underrated - you won't find that just anywhere. We saw the same pair of nurse sharks out there each day, along with sting rays that got close, but not too close! There is also a large conch bed out there, and you can take the shells if they aren't alive.

Alvin, the caretaker and boat captain, took great care of us, shuttling us to San Pedro (a 20 minute boat ride) almost daily. These condos are pretty remote in terms of getting to town, but there are neighboring homes and people do ride by on bikes from time to time. If you take an excursion, the tour company may not want to come and get you 6 miles north of town, unless the trip is that direction. No worries, Alvin will take you to town to meet the tour company! We used Unity Tours and highly recommend them to take you to Hol Chan/Shark Ray Alley (do not miss going there). These guys know what they are doing and make it fun. Our day aboard "No Rush" was unforgettable.

Back to the condo...we were glad to have wifi so we could send pix of our good time...drinking water is provided (don't drink out of the tap anywhere in Belize)...Alvin even had a few cold Belikins and sodas in the fridge for us on arrival! We did not have a problem with bugs (time of year?). You can do laundry with some advanced notice (in owner's condo next door), so don't pack too much.

We spent most of the time on the huge covered verandah looking at the azure ocean and listening to the waves break out past the reef. With no big plans and taking it day by day, this was the perfect way for our busy family to relax, and we did come home feeling truly relaxed. Can't wait to go back.
