When you travel outside of your country, meeting new people is one of the greatest travel perks...those connections you make. This was my mother and my first trip to Belize and San Pedro on Ambergris Caye and Felipe and Monica made our stay exceptional from the moment I booked travel with them. Very communicative and they go out of their way to be helpful.
When we got there, Felipe wasn't there to meet us but they sent a friend of theirs to come escort us to the loft but Felipe stopped by as I sat outside enjoying the ocean breeze to make sure we were comfortable and happy.
The location!! It's right on the water with a beautiful view of the Caribbean. Make time to get up and see the beautiful sunrise, you won't be disappointed! Location!! It's steps away from so many great places to eat and drink and tour companies to take you on some great excursions! The value of this is immeasurable. I'd thought about renting a golf cart but never ended up needed it so that saved me $50USD a day. The loft is stylish and modern. It's also so spacious with a great kitchen that contains everything you need. The bed is super comfortable so much so, I wouldn't get out of bed until late in the morning (except for the sunrise). The bathroom has dual vanities and an amazing rain shower with good water pressure and hot water. The best part...the beautiful spacious patio with a table and chairs for you to sit and enjoy coffee and or just sit and have a beer or drink you can bring home from one of the restaurants or bars nearby.
Now on to the best part and really what will keep me coming back. Felipe was beyond accommodating the entire time, stopping in to talk with my mother and I each day when we'd be sitting outside in the patio. His family has a long interesting history on the island that goes back several generations and it shows through his passion for his home country. He takes great pride in making sure you are happy with your stay and went above and beyond any of our expectations from taking care of us when we arrived at the airport late, to offering suggestions of things to do, to just having great conversations with us. I've stayed at several places in different countries and he has set the bar quite high for everyone that will come after and honestly I can't say enough great things about him, Monica and everyone involved with them that helped us.
Lastly, if you get a chance take the food tour from Belize Food Tours, which is also a company he and his sister run on the island. We took the lunch tour and no one on the tour was disappointed. Not only will you learn more about his family and the rich history and culture of the island, you will also have some great food and treats along the way as well!
