What can I say? It was awesome. After 25+ trips to all areas of Belize, it made us a believer in Ambergris/San Pedro again. Being north of the Cut made Mangata quiet but was still close enough for a night on the town. As someone who wanted quiet with access to good food, this location was perfect. Rent a golf cart so you can explore / get into town. Booking the cart with MK Carts through Mangata was easy. It also gave us a sense of security in renting. The beach at the Villas was the best - we even preferred it over the famous "secret beach." Bedding, towels, etc, all seemed higher end / nicer. From the moment we booked to the day we left, Aaron and Serena were proactive with communication and quick to respond to questions. They had a balance of being available but unintrusive. Felt like we were staying with family friends rather than hotel proprietors.
