Are you reading this review to determine if this Airbnb is the right one for your stay in San Pedro, Belize? Look no further! This place is perfect, and I have absolutely no complaints about the home or the hosts. I've stayed in 5-star hotels that did not provide me with the level of service and care given by Laurent and his wife.
First, I had to change my reservation, and Laurent did so without any hesitation. Then he contacted me a few days before my arrival to arrange for airport pickup and then picked up my friend the next day from the water taxi. Upon my arrival at the home, I was given a tour, a bottle of wine, and food for breakfast was in the refrigerator. He also arranged for me to have dinner at Hidden Treasures and a ride back to the villa. The next morning, he picked me up and took me to pick up my golf cart at a deeply discounted price! BTW. Laurent is well connected on the island and can help you with all of your travel needs!
But wait, there is more! On the 3rd day of my stay, Laurent and his wife took us on a boat ride to two beach locations where we had lunch, drinks, danced, and went looking for seashells. These guys are great! For the next day, Laurent arranged for us to have massages on the pier!
The villa is comfortable, secluded, and quiet. It's definitely a vibe. You may want to designate a day to relax at the house like we did to enjoy the surroundings of the lagoon and mangrove forest, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, take a long bath in the tub, and nap on the deck. Did I mention the shower?! Wow! Great pressure and is equipped with a SHOWER PANEL!!! Each room has a fan and an air conditioner, but I didn't need as much due to the open-air layout.
The villa is situated on a private lagoon and about 20 minutes from the center of town on a golf cart. There are local restaurants, grocery stores, bars, and produce stands located about 5 minutes from the villa. You will need a golf cart but this is necessary for all of San Pedro. What I loved most about the villa's location is it allows you to interact with people and experience local culture.
Lastly, Laurent went above and beyond for me when I lost my phone. After I left the island, he did everything he could to find and return my phone. I will forever be grateful for his kindness and hospitality. I definitely will be returning to this villa!
