We just returned from an 8 day stay in Pelican Reef Villas. Loved it!
PROS:
Staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you. Made us feel very welcome- cannot stress this enough. I booked over phone and was in email contact w/Lori before our arrival. She booked our flights from Belize Int. to Ambergris and had a taxi waiting to pick us up at the airport also made sure that everything we wanted (golf cart etc) was ready when we arrived. Let us settle into our rooms and enjoy a complimentary drink before checking in- really nice. Throughout our entire stay the staff helped us with everything we needed. 5 stars for customer service :-)
We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which was well furnished- dishwasher, washer/dryer, new kitchen, comfortable living room, 2 tv's, water always warm, no problems with a/c and had wireless access.
Our villa had 2 balconies with a beautiful view of the ocean.
Beautiful private beach. Snorkels, beach towels, kayaks available free of charge. Artificial reef under the dock so you can see lots of fish.
Staff will organize tours for you and you usually meet your tour at the end of the dock- very convenient. Also we really liked the tour operators that they used.
LOCATION:
About 1 1/2 miles outside San Pedro. We really loved that the location was peaceful and not near town (if you want to be in the middle of things this is not the place for you). Rented a golfcart for the whole trip and took that into town whenever we wanted (10 min drive). The road to town is very bumpy but for us that was all part of the fun. Also for boat tours we were the last to be picked up and the first dropped off- perfect!
CONS:
This is primarily a family/couples resort and they do have some full time residents. Wouldn't recommend it for young singles.
You will be staying in a villa not a hotel room so expect to bring some things with you- laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels etc. Also housekeeping is good- but again not at hotel level.
Overall, I would highly recommend it. Again, the staff were amazing, the property beautiful and we had a great time!
