Wow!! We just got back from Pelican Reef Villas for a week long vacation. It was a vacation unlike any previous one I have been on. In total there was nine of us on this vacation ranging from early twenties to fifties. The accommodations are top notch along with the staff. Eliazar and Ceasar are truly fantastic in accommodating any needs one might have. We arrived on June 28, 2008 to find Lori waiting for us to arrive; we were ushered to our rooms where we were able to clean up from a long day of travel before we checked in. After check-in we were given a complimentary drink and enjoyed a wonderful night by the pool and on the dock enjoying the sunset.

A golf cart rental is a must for this resort. Town is roughly 15-20 minutes on golf cart; however, some of the sights make it very interesting. The lagoon with the crocodiles is AWESOME. I have never been that close to a crocodile in my entire life and don’t think I will again. The kids do request a tip for luring the crocodiles into land; however, it is cheaper than going to a zoo.

We stayed in 2-2A and found the accommodations very nice. Some things to bring with you include laundry detergent and dish soap. The cleaning staff comes everyday, however, it would have been nice to have soap on hand.

The food was fantastic; we ate at Fido’s Sandbar, Fido’s (not the same), Blue Water Grill, and Wild Mangos. The pibil at Fido’s was remarkable and the service was top notch, I highly recommend this restaurant. The owners kept the restaurant open for us to enjoy many Belikins and some beach bowling, you could not ask for a nicer couple.

Overall, this was a remarkable vacation. Pelican Reef lived up to the pictures and reviews and the staff were incredible. If you are going to Ambergris Caye these are the condos to stay at.

We stayed for 1 week in condo 2-2B. We liked the location being able to take the golf cart into town daily was essential. The property was nice. We had some issues with the condo. I know they are individually owned but some standards should be maintained. The beds were comfortable, but they had plastic protectors on them with only a sheet between you and the plastic. Noisy and hot! The maid service as stated before was inconsistent. There were no essentials i.e. soap for dishes, napkins or paper towels. I too ended up drying the towels and putting them away. We had to borrow dish washer detergent since the maid did not wash the dishes that were in the dishwasher. We did not find Elianzar helpful. We asked about a bakery, fresh fish and produce and he just said go to the local market. He did not mention the Chicken Drop or offer any activities that were not in his "book". The only time he was helpful was when we were booking a tour or making a dinner reservation. I'm sure he got some kind of kickback for it. Also we went cave tubing on a Thursday, we had a great time, but it was crowded. One of the guest informed us when we got back, that the cruse ships come in to Belize city on Thursdays and that is why it was crowded. We felt that Elianzar should have told us this. We could have gone another day. There were no beach towels in the unit, we did bring our own. Over all this was an ok property but not worth the price.

Pelican Reef was a terrific getaway for my husband and two teenage daughters. The two bedroom condo we stayed in was right on the beach and was beautifully furnished and very comfortable and clean. We had daily maid service and received excellent service from Lori, Eliazar, Caesar and Greg! The staff made you feel right at home. Yes, the road can be rough in a golf cart, but that was part of the fun and adventure for us! The people of San Pedro were very friendly and we always felt safe as we made our way around town. The excursions, although expensive, were fun and fulfilled all of our expectations. Even though Pelican Reef doesn't have a restaurant, there was an abundance of good food in San Pedro. Overall, this was one of the best family vacations we have ever had and I highly recommend Pelican Reef Villas.

We stayed at Pelican Reef earlier in the Spring and while the resort is beautiful and the rooms top notch, there are some glaring problems.

There is almost no maid service as another reviewer stated and no food service at all at the resort. For an exhorbatant fee of $225 US you can rent a golf cart to take the long, muddy road into San Pedro. Remember that this is still the 3rd world. Along the way, you never feel quite safe and there is a large lagoon that is between you and town that is frequented by very unruly teenagers looking to stir up the local alligators.

The pool is very small and the drinks aren't exactly cheap.

The biggest problem is that the resort is actually a condo community and I have to say the residents were less than friendly to my friend and me. It was very much like being at a party where no one knows you.

Pelican Reef is a place to get away from it all. It is isolated and pretty but if you are looking for amenities and great service, I would have to suggest elsewhere.
