Mario's place is absolutely a "great value" paradise! For one, it is located on one of the most beautiful islands in all of Belize. If you are even entertaining the trip to Caye Caulker, you should do it! Secondly, Vista Del Mar was so much more than we had anticipated. The rooms are simple, but super clean. We were asked daily if we wanted our room cleaned. We shared a bathroom with other travelers, but I've never seen such a clean bathroom! Were they being cleaned every hour? I don't know! I ended up booking two rooms for my family. One came with air con, and one did not. Since we were traveling in January, we did not even need air con, with those beautiful island breezes. Vista Del Mar is also in a WONDERFUL location if you love to people watch. We were located smack dab in the middle of front street. We could see the ocean, but we could watch the foot traffic as well. It was fun to be centrally located, and it wasn't overly noisy at all. It was a 5 minute walk up to the famous "split." If you are not looking for posh, or a remote accommodation, BUT are looking for a lively clean place for a GREAT value, Vista Del Mar would be perfect! Oh, did I mention the free breakfast? Nothing fancy-coffee, tea, bagels, whole wheat bread, and home made baked goods. Good enough for us!
