This was an amazing find. The pictures didn't do justice to how well taken care of the property is, from check in, the stay, Gush is probably the nicest person you'll ever meet, to the flawless checkout, 10/10 oh, the cleaning staff were a amazing, the two ladies that came to our place made it sparkle. The location is perfect as well, out of the grit of the city but close to everywhere you want to be. The restaurant and the resort flanking the place were great stops for breakfast, drinks and dinner. You can't go wrong here.

This place was the perfect little get away. The front yard was the beach with plenty of chairs and hammocks for lounging. The air conditioning worked well and a water jug was provided. The hosts let us check in a bit early and helped us get our golf cart rental, which was truly a blessing as we wanted to get out of downtown San Pedro. I would recommend this place to anyone and would stay again!

Great Little Find

This is a really nice property for a single or couple that doesn't need a full apartment. A/C worked perfectly. The kitchenette was stocked well enough for small meals and snacks and the beach was very well kept!

Peaceful stay and amazing staff!

The place was exactly as described online. Very clean and quiet. Everyone we met that worked on or around the property were absolutely amazing! Gach helped with anything we needed, and Captain Robbie gave us an unforgettable day with a private deep water fishing trip and snorkeling. Very highly recommend!!!!

Beautiful beach stay

The place was perfect beautiful beach area. It wasn't listed but the owner Gach offered a kayak to take to the reef. June is a hot time of year and the AC barely kept up as we like it low 70 while we sleep. Overall Gach place was amazing and very peaceful.

Very Serene - Awesome Reef

We loved being right on the beach and found Gach to be an amazing host. We quickly felt like family. He recommended places to eat based on our tastes and things to do that were right for us. Our last night he had family and friends over and even included us for garnachos for the full moon. We'll remember that evening forever and can't wait to get back again. I HIGHLY recommend staying at Las Amapolas!

Beautiful view

Beautiful view and the communication was great with the property management. They arranged golf cart rental. Went out on a private snorkel trip arranged by Thomas who lives on the property and it was the highlight of the trip. If you are hesitating don’t it’s worth the potholed drive into town for the view and people.

Perfect place

There are not enough words to explain this amazing place. Not only was the location and cleanliness of the property perfect but the attention to detail and the amazing family who own it make this the most ideal place. If your planning to snorkel I say wait until you speak with captain Robby he lives on the property. This family really made our stay more than we could have wished for. They were so incredibly welcoming but also let us make our way too. I am already planning out next trip there.

Truly a hidden gem right on the beach as described.

I only spent one night at the property because it was far from town, I was travelling alone and there were no restaurants nearby. If you are looking for a more remote, quiet retreat, and can do your own cooking, then this is the place for you. I wanted to be closer to town and access to several places to eat. Otherwise, the host was kind and understanding. When I left, he suggested other places for me to stay.

Best time EVER!

Cannot say enough about how perfect this spot was for us - we got everything we needed out of this casita (and trip at large) and more! Thank you Nellie and crew for making everything easy and as stress free as possible. The spot itself is enough away from the town center that you had privacy, but not so secluded/far away that you felt too removed/isolated. Friendliest host and locals. Beautiful views. Exceeded our expectations! Thank you!!!

Short but oh so sweet

Arrived ahead of schedule but were met with grace. Check in and golf cart rental was smooth. The roads...were not, but hey, that was part of the fun. Apartment was clean and perfect for us. Enjoyed coffee on the front porch with the sunrise. We unfortunately had an emergency and had to leave early. Everyone was so helpful in getting us back home. Not only would I recommend staying here but we will surely return, for a much longer stay this time.

Great Birthday Weekend

First time to Belize and was not disappointed. It was as advertised. Beautiful water view off the balcony. Waking up to the birds chatting and an ocean breeze was so relaxing. From the time I booked the condo, Gach and his team were quick to respond to my questions. It is located a few miles from town, which added to the peace and quiet, but I highly recommend getting a golf cart to explore the area. We drove all over. There are many potholes in the road outside of town, but traffic was not bad and dodging them was part of the fun.

Belize Stay

We were expected to find the place on our own at first which would never have happened. Someone finally led us out to the place. Our dead bolt key didn't work. The microwave didn't work. The golf cart we rented was not the best but it got us from point A to B. Overall not bad.

Thank you for taking time to write a review about your stay at our place. Sorry about the dead bolt we changed it this morning so our future guests can enjoy the safety of the room. Also we are sorry about the microwave not workin. It does work but for some reason you have to press cook time then enter the seconds/minutes you want then press start. I will be posting a note so our guests know what to do. About the golf cart rental I have informed the rental company. And finally thank you for liking our place.
