Excellent hidden gem just north of San Pedro. Pictures don’t do it justice. I’ll talk more about the accommodations, but the best part was the people here. David, the manager and all the employees that we encountered were friendly and helpful and really made our stay. Enrique and Ramon helped us with drinks, recommendations and were able to help us get everything we needed. The housekeeper and the cook were great and we enjoyed chatting with them while we were there too. When we checked out we felt like we would be missing the people as much as the room. We stayed here for three days and at a brand new large resort at the other end of the island and were sad to be checking out at Lina Point and moving to the resort with less privacy and less personal service. We wish we had spent the whole time here.
We stayed in the duplex overwater villa. It was the perfect distance from town; close enough to get there in minutes while still feeling secluded and private. There was another couple there for part of our stay, but there were no issues with noise. There is a security gate before you get to the resort which is all the way at the end of the road. It felt safe and private.
The villa was two rooms and a bathroom with a great deck and plunge pool. You can look over the deck or through the glass window floor and watch all kinds of fish and rays swim by. We even got to see a crocodile swim by while safely tucked in our room!!! He was huge and amazing to see in his natural habitat. We also saw parrotfish, rays, bonefish, snapper, crabs and a giant barracuda just over the deck. Despite being right over the water and close to the mangroves the breeze did a great job of keeping the bugs away and we were able to hang out and relax on our private deck at all hours with almost no bugs except maybe a few at dusk. The deck had a perfect view of the sunset. We were able to drive right up to out villa on our golf cart which was very convenient.
The room itself was really nice. The bed was very comfortable and the AC kept the bedroom nice and cool without any problem. There was a coffee maker in the room as well as a kitchenette with a stove, microwave and fridge with a real freezer. There were a few pots and pans, but we didn’t use them much since the food out everywhere (including the Hooked restaurant) was all so good. The room came equipped with a large jug of bottled water, so no need to bring your own. The bathroom had a great hot shower and plenty of lovely soaps and shampoos. We enjoyed the plunge pool which was really nice to cool off in after a hot day out.
The villas were just a short walk to the main building where there is a little restaurant, a bar and larger pool and hammocks. We hung out here a bit and had a few drinks and had breakfast twice. The fry jacks here were the best we had on the island. It’s also very close to a little market, a great farm stand called Farmhouse and one of our favorite restaurants during our stay, 303 Belize.
All in all, we will absolutely be staying here again and can’t recommend it enough.
