I and my family had a nice stay at La Perla del Caribe over a 9 day period. It is a long distance away from San Pedro and not recommended if you want to go into town each night to eat and drink. It is close to some great snorkeling areas, that may be reached by kayak on some mildly windy days.
Minimal contact is made prior to arrival, with only transfers from the San Pedro airport arranged. The arrangements for airport transfers did make one less thing to worry about, they do cost more than what local taxis would charge.
The facilities are nice older “villas.” We stayed at the Villa Amber which consisted of a large living room with full kitchen and one master bedroom with ensuite and a second bedroom with two full size beds. Plenty of comfortable sleeping areas with two hammocks outside each bedroom in a screened porch area. The A/C units in the living room/kitchen area did not work and were not repaired during our stay. Great breezes did come through the area but not enough to cool the room, especially when cooking.
The kitchen was fully sticked with good quality kitchen ware and full size refrigerator/freezer. Unfortunately we did have a mouse show up in the kitchen the last few days that was not taken care of during our stay. Creating a worrisome end to our stay.
The pool is old but very useable. We enjoyed swimming in it.
Michaela was a good hostess who sought to accommodate our needs. She was very approachable and easy to contact via Whatsapp (must have the app for contact during the stay). All the staff at the resort were friendly and very helpful.
The beach area in front of the resort is not for swimming. This is typical of most all beach areas of Belize and we had expected it since this was not our first visit to Ambergris Caye.
Overall pleasant experience.
