We had a fabulous time in San Pedro!
Julie and Mario could not have been more attentive. Upon arrival, Mario picked up the golf cart we had reserved with MK carts, and met us at the airport. He gave us a tour of downtown before bringing us to the Casita.
The casita is lovely, beautifully designed and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. If you need something additionally, Mario will provide it.
Mario and Julie checked in multiple times to make sure we didn’t have any questions or needs. They made us feel very welcomed and taken care of. this must change seasonally, the drive to town was about 30 mins. ( I think this really has to do with how long ago they grated the road, and how much rain they are having. The timing will fluctuate)
We did spy some beautiful pink birds and a few lizards during our drive.
The Belizians and other tourists are just as welcoming!
Everyone we met was so friendly and eager to help with any questions or advice.
A few island tips-
There are lots of snorkeling and dive operations. We did a half day snorkeling with Inland and sea adventures. They leave at eight in the morning so they get to the reef before many of the other groups. It was totally amazing and I would highly recommend it.
Secret beach has incredibly clear beautiful water for swimming. It doesn’t get deep unless you go out really far. I recommend walking the stretch to check out all of the options of restaurant bars before deciding where to sit for the day.They each have a different vibe and offer different amenities. If you are tired of long drives in the golf cart you can take a boat ride to the beach on coconut shuttle for $25 US round-trip.
Lots of amazing restaurants and food! Try some of the higher end ones along Front Street ( Barrier Reef Drive ) and middle st ( Pescador Dr) or the beach, but also walk around to some of the local places on back st ( Angel Coral st) for some real authentic food. Izzy’s for smoothies , but ask for the watermelon lime slush, it’s $2.50 usd and not on the menu!!
This must change seasonally, but the drive to town for us was about 30 mins. ( I think this really has to do with how long ago they grated the road, and how much rain they are having. The timing will fluctuate) It’s best to bring what you need with you for the day, and even evening, to take advantage of everything that the whole island offers.
