This is it! No need to look further. Mike and Laura's place at Twisted Palm Villas is clean, comfortable and homey. This was our first trip to Belize and we chose the right place to stay. Once you arrive here whether it be on your own with a golf cart or you were brought by taxi you will immediately notice how much love is put into the care of this place not only by Mike and Laura but by their staff as well. We stayed in the King Suite and have viewed the different rooms and you can't go wrong with any of the rooms here. The King and Queen beach front have a beautiful view out to the pool and water from the living room. The Garden Queen gives you all the same amenities with a little less space with no patio door to the pool. All the rooms including the Garden Queen are within steps of the water or pool. The upstairs roof top is perfect for watching the sunrise and/or sunset. We found their location to be perfect. Two doors down is the Dive Bar which is perfect for a drink, lunch and/or dinner. They have great smoothie/virgin drinks for the non alcohol lovers, too! I heard they serve breakfast as well but we never tried it. A short 2- 5 min or less golf cart ride and you have many more restaurants and clubs to choose from on the North end. If you want a 5-10 min drive to town then this place has easy access there as well to the South side of the bridge. We chose a golf cart for our entire time and felt it was well worth it. It gave us the freedom to come and go as we please and it did not take but a few minutes to learn our way around. You can opt for bicycles as some do or go without and just relax right here and walk where you want to go. The people everywhere are so friendly and eager to help when they can. Twisted Palm Villas is definitely the place to stay to get away with ease. Mike and Laura provided everything we needed. Plenty of drawers for your items, we had ample plugs whether it be electrical outlet or usb to charge our phones and accessories. The bed was super comfortable with just the right bedding. Air conditioner was excellent and kept you cool when you needed it. The room darkening shade was a special touch that allowed us to sleep in when we wanted to without the sun waking us up. They provide a safe in each room to ease any concerns about your valuables. Some units come with a stove and all come with the extras like toaster, blender and microwave. There are several grocery stores to choose from nearby. If you don't see something listed you think may make your stay better just ask Mike to see if it is provided. We didn't feel like we were missing a thing. Mike and Laura provide lots of information and recommendations from golf cart rental, tours/excursions and where to eat along with directions which was extremely helpful. It is all either located in the manual in your room or in his F.A.Q. and information sheets he will send you after you book. We followed a lot of their suggestions and they were spot on. Great suggestions Mike! The wifi range is spectacular at Twisted Palm for those times you need to be in touch with the world. The pool is so nice and just a few steps from any room. Plenty of chairs and lounges to relax. They have also included a couple of hammocks within a couple of feet of the water under the trees. The views during the day and night are perfect. They even provide a couple of chairs right outside your patio door that is covered if by chance it is raining. It was so relaxing staying here and Mike and Laura are the best hosts. They are there if you need them but you don't even notice they are there when you want privacy. Choose Twisted Palm Villas and enjoy a relaxing trip to San Pedro! You will not regret it. Thanks Mike and Laura for being so helpful to the newbies from Oklahoma and for providing the perfect place for our vacation! **side notes to guests** If you need cell or access to text messages check with your service provider before you come or go to BTL digicell just south of the police and fire dept. on "middle" street. They have great deals to get you hooked up or if you need another micro sd card for the many pictures you will take then they can help with that as well. They are closed on Sundays. The secret beach is approx 30-45 min golf cart ride but well worth it. They cater to your every need there and pamper you all you want by bringing you drinks in the water if you choose. I get cold easily so I brought a light weight long sleeve jacket to protect me from the breeze during the day and in the evenings. A light weight back pack or bag for any day trips is helpful to carry items when going out for the day. We bought light weight micro fiber beach towels online before we left which were so nice because they didn't take up much space, were light weight and dried quickly and were perfect for the secret beach, cruise excursions and cave tubing. I wear prescription glasses so a light weight neoprene glasses holder that zipped with a clip was very helpful for me to keep them handy and secure. And always remember a good hat There is a place in town called Belezean Breezes where they sell lots of soaps and lotions including anti itch cream for any bites you might get from the no...
