We had an excellent time, wonderful experiences, and great memories. The house, Jason the homeowner, and the concierge team were amazing! Brian, Andy, Nerissa, Kevin, & Yuri we cannot thank you enough for your hospitality, it was great to get to know each of you and spend time together.
Think of this as your private resort on Belize and you are the boss. The team is there for whatever you need and when you want some alone time, they will provide you that as well (just ask them and they will enjoy some time off) Having access to our boat and crew made for amazing experiences, snorkeling, fishing, spearfishing, etc. You pay for the gas and they handle the rest, set your schedules up as you prefer them, the team will give you advise as well based on weather and times when excursions are not crazy busy. They even took me early in the morning solo mission to catch a few Bonefish.
Remember you are on Island Time so be patient, roll w the tide, and add 15 mins to a half hour more to your travel times :)
About Belize, it is a developing country, so don't expect beauty on land everywhere you look. The colors of the water are what made Belize beautiful. Ambergris Caye seemed safe and most people get around town on golf carts, we chose to stay on property when we weren't doing activities as the property had all we needed, kayaks, pool, activities, and your own beach. From the dock you will catch some barracuda and primarily mangrove snapper. Excursion to see Alta Huna was fun but definitely a long adventure - 1 hour + boat ride then 45 min or so drive, then another 45 min drive to go tubing through caves which was incredible as well. Just be prepared for a long day!
Mosquitos get bad right after sunset for about an hour or so and then it gets better, still best to stay covered if you don't want to get eaten. Some other excursions had some squitos as well, so bring bug spray. There a few cool guard dogs that will be on the property as well, we are dog lovers, but if you are not a dog fan, let them know.
Make sure you plan for flight from Belize City to San Pedro or confirm if their team will be picking you up form the International Airport or local San Pedro Airport, that was our only miscommunication so had to take a 15 minute puddle jumper to Ambergris Caye which was actually fun, pretty and pretty wild.
Overall we would highly recommend this home as it gives you a taste of luxury as well as a local flavor. Great way to spend our anniversary and we truly miss all the friends while we were there. Thanks again!!!
