We are currently still staying in Vista del Mar and are having a great time. Great value for money.
Friendly staff, changed us to an 'outer room' with more daylight without any problems. We also got some good local advice and interesting stories about the different groups of people living in Belize.
The place has its own piece of beach and hands out free beach towels as well as hammocks. How cool is that?
To be honest, it is an absolute steal. I was not sure what to expect when I booked, but it's spotless clean and in the best location you could possibly be. Even the beds are comfy. :)
Highly recommended!
