We all screamed with delight upon our arrival to The Iguana House! It’s such a cute little yellow beach-house, on the water with a view from every room. It accommodated our family of six perfectly, with a bathroom off of all three bedrooms. We loved the location, being 20 minutes north of San Pedro and away from the busy town. We rented a six passenger golf cart to get around.
We bought fish and lobster from Genie next door and grilled at the house a couple of times & there are lots of grocery stores in town (a bit expensive) where we bought rum and mixers and snacks. If we had it to do over, we would probably check one bag full of non-perishable food. Lots of small restaurants and we actually loved the taco/burritos stands right off the ferry pier! ALSO, there is a “burrito man” that stops buy every morning with your breakfast burritos!!!!! Yesssss!
Of course, it’s all about the snorkeling/scuba diving or fishing while you’re here, so don’t miss your chance to see the beautiful underwater views! Don’t miss Hol Chan, Shark Reef Alley & Caye Caulker. Definitely take a drive over to Secret Beach for a fabulous tropical “beach” day of sun and drinks. Get there early to pick your lounge chairs with a view of calm, turquoise water where they bring you drinks in a coconut with an umbrella.
We booked our cave tubing and zip lining trip to Jaguar Paw with Genie next door and he arranged everything right down to renting an suv and driving us to the park. Cave tubing is a magical experience that should NOT be missed. Go on a Saturday to avoid the crowds from the cruise ships that stop in Belize City.
The owners, Christopher and Mary Alice were off the charts with responsiveness and willingness to help with any and all questions, as well as booking the golf cart and tours. They arranged for us to be picked up and driven to the house (all included in the deal). We used her recommendation for the golf cart and it was delivered right to the house.
If you are looking for a laid-back vacation or an action packed trip of excursions, don’t hesitate to book here. I highly recommend.
Everyone speaks English and they take either US dollars or Belizean dollars.
Bring less clothes than you think. Tee shirts and shorts, swim suits and cover ups. It’s VERY CASUAL. Bring lots of bug spray and reef-safe sun screen.
We didn’t want to leave the Iguana House. I hope you go and have as much fun as we did!
