My husband and I have stayed at one of Hilary and Pike's studio for 6 nights. It was an amazing experience! The studio is very spacious, updated and clean. It offers everything you need for a long and comfortable stay. We were pleasantly surprised with how well the kitchen was equipped. Everything from spatula, can opener, to the sauce pan. There are plenty of great places to eat around the island, but all the supplies are there for you if you decide to stay in.
Hilary and Pike are great hosts. Our communication prior to the arrivel was excellent. Hilary has been very responsive and proactive to all our questions and concerns. She offered to arrange the cab from the airport to the ferry and told us ahead of time about 12.5% Belize tax that we had to pay upon the check out, so there would be no unpleasant surprises. Pike helped us to get from and to the ferry once on the island.
During our stay Hilary and Pike have stopped by to clean the place, refill the drinking water and change the fan. We mentioned in the morning that it was not working and Hilary was right on it.
Hilary is very detailed, thoughtful, and welcoming. She left some food supplies, tea, coffee, condiments and other items for us. There are also books, magazines and plenty of bug sprays.
Last, but not least there are the pets. Hilary and Pike have two dogs, Basco and Reef, and a couple of cats. They are all so sweet and friendly. They would always come out in the evening to "socialize" and cuddle on the porch.
We enjoyed our stay at Hilary and Pike's studio very much and we definitely highly recommend it to all future travelers. It's a perfect place at an affordable price!
