We had 3 couples & this location and set up worked perfectly for us. The south end of the island is ideal as it's quieter with much less traffic but everything you need. The house was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed & would definitely go back!
Perfect location S of town. Don't miss Somewhere South 1 block down for all meal types. Condo was great with all amenities needed. Just bring shorts and flip flops and relax.
First the good stuff: Ambergris is a great place-- great scuba and snorkeling, friendly local people, bustling little town, not a lot of hustlers, you can walk along the beachfront seemingly forever. The golf carts are a blast to drive and it is easy to find your way around. There is a very laid-back vibe to the island that is hard to find in many holiday destinations nowadays. We felt safe at all times.
Now the not so good stuff: there is a lot of trash on the island and especially on the beaches. It gives the overall impression that the island is in a state of decay/people have no care for the environment. Groceries are expensive, (but hey, it's an island). There is quite a bit of construction going on.
This condo is well situated about 15-20 minutes golf cart ride to San Pedro. The view from the front door is fabulous. The air conditioning units work well. The pool is a nice temperature, but there are only 8 or 10 beach loungers to sit on poolside.
Unfortunately, the condo itself is in a state of disrepair (eg stove needs to be replaced- one burner completely non-functional and stove controls were 'hit and miss'; mish-mash of crockery/cutlery; insufficient and dirty outdoor chairs; indoor seating/dining space insufficient for 7 people; inadequate cleaning supplies like brooms/dustpans). The bathrooms are dated and a bit basic, but at least the water was hot. The wifii does not extend to the upstairs bedrooms, and is spotty, so if you plan to work while you are there, think again. The property neighbours/other residents were friendly and helpful. However, there was a near continuous waft of cannabis smoke in the vicinity, which was offensive.
Overall, this condo is fine if you plan to eat out most of the time and are not spending too much time in the condo itself.
Quiet resort with much to offer, and not far from the action. Clean comfortable condo with an amazing common area with a pool, outside dinning area, grills, hammocks, corn hole, and kayaks for your use. We loved it and will definitely be back in the future.
perfect location. all the luxury you want. 24/7 service. we will be back and will be staying here again. this place made our vacation absolutely magical.
The condo was great, itâs in a great spot with beautiful views. We like being a little outside of town, but still close to go have fun (about 15 min by golf cart.) It was just the right size for us, we really appreciated that there were 3 full bathrooms. Be warned if does say two single beds, itâs a twin bed with a pull out trundle. Totally workable, but not two separate beds. It was fine for us as we didnât need it but be aware. The pool was nice, it was always clean. I will say getting things like towels was a little harder. While Ana was very responsive sometimes the service from the people actually taking stuff to the condos was slow, we requested more bath towels on Thursday afternoon and they didnât show up until Saturday. Overall it was awesome though. It met all our needs, was comfortable and in a great spot. We really loved that for the excursions we booked we could get picked up on the dock in front of the condo. We would totally stay there again!
Overall satisfied with the property however a few of the amenities were less than what was projected in the listing such as the barbecue grills one half decent the other one was just a bucket of rust! As well as the snorkeling gear was unavailable or non-existent one of the two! At our place we ran out of toilet paper and there were no extra garbage sacks and we ran out of shampoo conditioner and bar soap as well
This is a great little property. The view off the balcony looks like a postcard, it's so perfect. You are right on the beach in front of a nice little pier where your tour guides may pick you up.
We had a great time. I think this is a good place for 7 people. With 8, someone would have to sleep on the couch. It's clean and has everything you want. A/C was fine. It was all great, really.
The location is quiet..on the south edge of the island out of the main part of the city. There's a little bodega (expensive and small, but very convenient) right next to it, and three restaurants within a couple of blocks. You will need a golf cart or taxi if you want to go into San Pedro.
I was very happy with this place. Would stay there again for sure.
We really enjoyed out stay here. The 3 bedroom 3 bath unit was perfect for us! The oceanfront location gave us spectacular views! The folks who own there and stay over the winter were so nice and friendly - we really enjoyed their company! The location is perfect - close enough to San Pedro proper to be able to go out to dinner yet far away enough for peace and quiet. You DO need a golf cart however to get around. We'll be back!
This place was everything we hoped it would be! The layout was perfect for our group of 4, the two floors allowed plenty of privacy. The location was perfect. About a 15 minute golf cart ride to the heart of town but several things are much closer. The minimart right on the corner by the condo is so convenient and easily walkable. The property and grounds were extremely well kept and landscaped beautifully. We had the pool to ourself each day and enjoyed the view of the ocean. Communication was top notch and the property managers and staff on site who helped us canât be thanked enough. We would stay here again without hesitation!!

Special thanks to Rosemary who helped us with our puddle jumpers and rescheduled several times due to the many flight delays we experienced getting to Belize. George (our ground transportation on the island) was wonderful, as well. We would stay here again without hesitation!!
We couldnât have been happier with our stay. This unit is the perfect distance away from the hustle and bustle of San Pedro. Easy to relax but close enough to go into town for dinner. The unit was in great shape and we loved the availability of excursions right off the dock. Would stay here again with hesitation.
Gorgeous views. Seamless checkin and out. Help with arranging golf carts and cabs. The one issue we had with water after a storm came through was resolved very quickly. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the island.
We are a family of seven and we came to Belize to get our daughter to her herpetology conference and turned it into a family vacation. We were spending the week of the conference near Belize City, so we decided to spend an additional week before on San Pedro Island. This condo gave us the perfect view and wonderful island experience we were hoping for. It was spacious and very comfortably slept our family of seven. The air conditioners worked very well, and the whole condo was so nice and cool! The water pressure and temperature were good, even though at times we came home and had all three showers in use at the same time. The views were incredible. We could just sit and relax and watch the ocean for hours. There was always a nice breeze and we did not have any trouble with mosquitos. This condo is located just a little south of the town so it has a peaceful laidback atmosphere. We spent time everyday in the pool and most of the time had it all to ourselves. It was also nice after having dinner out to come back and have a night swim. We rented a golf cart and enjoyed getting around in it. Keep in mind that this close to the equator it gets dark early, by around 6:30. There seems to be a fun active nightlife in San Pedro town. There are several nice restaurants near the condo if you do not want to go far. We also really liked Pineapples at Ramon's Village Resort and Iguana Juan's in town. We also visited the Truck Stop to have Ice cream and catch the sunset on the lagoon side of the island. We chartered the Reef Runner glass bottom boat and made a trip out to the barrier reef to snorkel at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, and swim with the sharks and rays in Shark Ray Alley. We made lots of memories and hope to come back soon. We would definitely stay at Caribe Island again. I also would like to mention that we asked if the owner would get the light over the sink to work for us (not a necessity, but a big help with my not so great eyesight) and they sent someone out immediately and had it working for us just a couple hours later.
