We arrived an hour early and Roberto (boat captain, tour operator) picked us up right away and brought us by boat to the house. Things were a little confusing on arrival. Our planned stop to the grocery store didn’t happen and our golf cart wasn’t there. Also, an accident took out a transformer which meant no power, water or wifi. The golf cart did arrive later that evening (slow, bad brakes and painted with giant scorpions which added to the adventure). The grocery store ended up not being a big deal and we were able to drive the golf cart to town the next day end grab what we needed. There are also two great restaurants walking distance from the house (Portofino and Sundeck). Would recommend you bring along a headlamp or two for the beach trek. On recommendation we walked down the beach and had a fantastic dinner at Sundeck. They prepared delicious food and drinks by headlamp despite the power outage circumstance. Can’t say enough good things about the family that works there and the lobster and rum punches! We had a weird incident the first night where something kept chiming and we couldn’t figure out what it was. It ended up being the dishwasher which was a simple reset. The house furniture (except barstools) was very comfortable, it was spacious there with little porches and hammocks that we didn’t even use and cool art. There was a big water cooler available that they refilled. The property manager Michaela popped by every day to check on us and was very kind with recommendations. Roberto came by our first morning to talk tours and his recommendation was the highlight of our trip! We had the most fantastic adventure to Hoi Chan and shark ray alley swimming with nurse sharks and fish, walking around a little town and feeding tarpon. Roberto (boat captain) arranged it and Russell and Josie who took us could not have been more awesome! They were sweet, fun and knowledgeable. Russell even gave our daughter courage to try the platform jump at the split and pulled her up when the current got a little strong. He jumped in to point out cool fish and sea turtles. Unfortunately we didn’t see manatee which you sometimes do. The exterior of the property was maintained very well with a little beach, pool, kayaks and lush vegetation. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend the house. Staff was attentive while being respectful of privacy. Kitchen well stocked but a small cooler and lantern would be a great addition.

The property was a nice clean house, nicely stocked. The property manager was easy to communicate with. We treated ourselves to a dinner from the onsite chef. We are especially pleased that the owner held our reservations for 2 years because of the covid pandemic. I am glad we finally were able to visit.

Being the first Belize visit, Michaela was a great host and insured that our entire stay was memorable! The Villa was everything and more than expected! Excursion fun with zip lining, cave tubing and snorkeling complimented the local meals and beachside fun! Massages on the dock serenaded by ocean sounds were fantastic! We capped it off with a catered meal that was delicious along with personality of the Chefs. Ask if we’ll return “Better Belize-It”

The villa was nicely decorated and very clean. The beach and the pool were within a few steps. The service was excellent including fresh coconut delivery, chef-prepared dinner, security, and cleaning service. Michaela is an excellent host and responds to all inquiries and needs promptly. I strongly recommend La Perla as a vacation spot.

Fantastic location. Michaela and the rest of the staff were amazing

We were very happy with the Condo and management. The condo was exactly as pictured. Massive amounts of seaweed on the beach made the beach unusable. The road to San Pedro was in terrible condition the 5 mile drive in a golf cart took 30 to 40 minutes. The property next to the condo had a very good resturant, other then that there was not much for good food in close proximity. Overall we were very happy with the condo but not so much the location.

We really appreciated the everyday cleaning service as we like to have a least one meal a day there. They come in a do all the dishes, the floors and do a amazing job of keeping the villa looking perfect. Also really enjoyed Action Dives with Roberto and Dilson and Mathew! They were great.
Thank you for a lovely week in paradise!

My brother got married on the grounds and we had plenty of room for a small reception afterwards. The kitchen was well-equipped for the chef who prepared the wedding luncheon. The staff were so helpful in suggesting and booking excursions for us. We will definitely be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was one of our family's most interesting Christmas gatherings. The Amethyst villa was terrific --beautiful, roomy enough for adults & separate downstairs room for our grandkids. Pool area was lovely and inviting & the grounds impeccable. We relished our balcony view of the palms and the sea. Fun nearby casual restaurants -- one with a bonfire and music and volleyball. We loved snorkeling, fishing, Sec Beach, waterslides. Alexa and staff were wonderful. Storms were exciting. A few downsides: golfcart travel through potholes bumpy at best; after storms huge potholes on sideroads; really wanted more light in living room in evenings; no working wireless on arrival, dangerously slippy showers (bathtowels saved us).

The oven was broken and we had to arrange for a BBQ to be able to do some cooking however The staff was amazing! The kitchen was equipped however very basic cooking tools only. Would have every move if it had a few more items to make cooking easier.
Pool was great! View was great!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Villa Amber, a 2/2 beachfront villa. It was an amazingly beautiful, well appointed, extremely comfortable, perfectly clean and well kept villa! There were 4 separate a/c units in this particular villa, all new and in perfect working order. Kitchen appliances were all in good condition. I am a vrbo owner myself, and know full well how important it is to have good a/c and good mattresses in order for guests to have great sleeping conditions on the beach, and this villa met those requirements. The staff at La Perla, especially Alex, were spot on perfectly attentive, immediately responsive, extremely helpful and incredibly kind and caring to all our needs and endless questions. They even handled booking our excursions, even the last minute ones! Housekeeping came in every other day and put everything back into prestine order, it was lovely. We more than well taken care of, and honestly made to feel like we were their only guests. Could not be happier with La Perla Resort.
We snorkeled twice, both times with Blue Water Diving and like our guide so much the first time, we insisted on using him for our secong trip. Sans was the perfect guide, very knowledgeable, fun, entertaining, understanding and helpful to all of us as we were newbies to snorkeling.
Best food we had on Ambergris Caye was by far the Cilantro Lime Fish Tacos at Elvi's in San Pedro downtown area....even had good prices to boot!
I fell in love with all the different Iguanas that were the full time residents of La Perla Resort, they were so beautiful to watch. The perfectly clean beaches, numerous hammocks and comfortable reclinings deck chairs gave us loads of relaxation. We took the complimentary 2 man kayaks out several times, snorkeled around on our own, and explored the coastline. PERFECT FAMILY VACATION!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Villa Amethyst at La Perla. The house was everything that we had hoped it would be. The La Perla property was everything that we hoped it would be and the service both daily cleaning and concierge assistance by Felix and his staff was more than we expected on our spring break 2017 trip.
While staying at La Perla, we shared the entire resort with one other family. Apparently, most of the other owners did not choose to rent out their villas or use them during our vacation which was just fine by us. From the pool to the hammocks to the dock and the rest of the property, we felt like this resort was our private getaway.
Do's...Rent golf carts, Plan several trips into town, Go to "Not so Secret Beach" if you like the beach, Dive, Dive, Dive(Ramon's Village Diving was fantastic with Chris and Carlos as dive masters). If you aren't certified they have a resort course and a shallow dive that can help you get your feet wet;)
Don'ts..You might want to rent the carts on your own..the shop that they recommended was not very good. We had two carts break down in a week. No ones odds can be that bad.I think the name was Belizean Adventures...Jog along the beach with shoes as undeveloped properties have no beach cleaning and it gets grass buildup and garbage.

All in all..we loved it. This was our second trip to Belize and our first to La Perla.

Enjoy
Mike

House was spacious, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Security (Pedro) is always walking property. Having Ice, Water, Coffee included is a blessing. House Cleaning could do a better job in cleaning all rooms daily and replenishing fresh towels. Ac works great in one of the three rooms. (Guest Services) Anna was very knowledgeable and helpful. Helpful Hint: buy case of beer and make sure to return bottles for deposit back.
