I wanted to give the most authentic review as possible for future renters. With that being said I WOULD NOT rent this place again.
This place looks exactly how it does in the pictures. Beautiful. However, the description list nothing about the location, commute and what to expect. Nor did none of the reviews.
The location of this villa is not ideal if you are planning to venture out and do things such as eating, drinking or enjoying any form of activity. You will only have street lights from the main town for about 20 minutes into your drive. After that, you will begin to see fewer people which can make it scary to drive at night. The roads just getting to our condo are catastrophic. The potholes are so large and everywhere they cannot be avoided. If it rains, be prepared to be filthy before you get to your location. The pot holes fill with a muddy substance and splash all over you and the golf cart. My group regretted the ride every time we had to leave.
We scheduled the golf cart at an affordable rate through the concierge Veronique ahead of time. The golf cart person we rented from Mike was very kind and helpful. We did notice that the golf cart we rented was much slower than others on the road. I guess you get what you pay for.
San Pedro is mostly golf cart community. With our golf cart it took at least 45-55 minutes minimum just to get to our location from the main town where everything is. We had no idea that the Villa was this far. We spent most of our time commuting. Dinner, drinks and nightlife is majorly in the main town. Granted there are a few resorts near by however my group wanted to have options and we did not find those at the “near by” (at least 20 minutes to reach one) resorts.
Yes, this villa is directly located on the beach however, the beach was so full of seaweed every day that we could not even get in it to enjoy so it was completely useless.
Also, San Pedro is located an hour and half from the main airport in Belize City by Ferry.
I really hope this review helps someone out. These would have been key things to know for my group that had never been to this country.
