This unit is not exactly what you see in the photos. Upon arrival to Belize city, expect to travel 2.5 hours to get to the house. Thirty minutes from airport to water taxi/ferry. An hour and a half on water taxi to San Pedro island. Then another 30 minutes from island town center to the house, which is literally in the middle of no where. You can rent golf carts or pay taxis/vans but they are $25-30 each way, even with negotiation. The roads and under developed, whindy, and there are little to no street lights so I wouldn’t suggest the golf carts in the event you return after dark.
Upon entry, the house is a little outdated, but authentic to the culture. Confomtable beds. The water pressure and heat are subpar. The pool and view from upstairs are nice. Be sure to bring water shoes because the “beach” is rocky sand, not soft and white. Speaking of beach, it wasn’t swimmable as it was full of seeweed and murky water. Definitely not what you see in the pictures. Validate that you will receive an actual chef that cooks in the house, we were presented with a woman who cooked in her home and brought the food, so essentially meal prepped. Complete opposite of the Airbnb description. She also did not bring everything we desired each day, a lot of miscommunications and unprofessional conduct observed between her and the host.
Plan to bring cash, as the CC transaction fee is a little high. We planned to pay via card, and she wanted cash. We found 4 lizards in the Home, unsure if this comes with the territory of the home, but ask about how to handle or prevent those.
The boat excursion that Germain planned was fun, we came back to the house to a grilled seafood feast. We did not receive the ceviche as promised, but his food over all was amazing!
WiFi is a little shaky, I bought the international plan and that helped with internet usage and calling out when we needed something.
We booked a food tour with WTF - what the food in San Pedro island and that was likely the highlight of the trip!
