Home Base for an Excellent Trip
The house was perfect for our needs. Our guides and tours picked us up and dropped us off from the dock every morning / evening. We enjoyed sight seeing and exploring on our golf cart rides into town. Would definitely book this property again.

Great stay in Ambergris Caye
We were here in the slow season in July. The house was perfect for our two family crew of 12. Plenty of rooms, the pool was nice, and we were on the quiet side of the island. Alberto was there every day caring for the grounds, and he made sure everything was great for us. We loved having kayaks and a paddle board which we used every day off the dock to go to deeper water for snorkeling and exploring. Glori took great care of us as the property manager.
