Lovely spot for a big family
Plenty of space for our large extended family for everyone to gather together and relax on their own. Beautiful setting on the water, though of note it's not a wading beach - you can swim off the dock though! Nice pool to lounge around with comfy outdoor furniture and some shade, and the dock was an amazing spot to relax in the hammock or swing. The house is about a 20 minute ride to San Pedro town in golf cart. We had a few great meals from Felipa, the chef!
There were a few discrepancies between the listing and our experience, including that we did not have access to washing machine and dryer (it is there but behind locked doors), and there is no dishwasher. The grill was also not cleaned and there was no lighter/matches available to use it. Additionally, the house manager requested that we check out by 10am (which we learned the night before, only when we asked), while check out time was listed as 11:30 on the listing. Along those lines, we did have some communication challenges with the house manager, for example asking for our flight details and grocery list even after we'd provided them and misunderstanding the # of people for our excursion. I also thought it was a little silly that we were charged for drinking water. It's not expensive ($2.50 per 5 gallon jug) and therefore seems like it should be included in the cost of a luxury rental, or noted that guests are expected to cover the cost.
Overall great place, and we enjoyed Caye Ambergris!
