Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Villa Emerald and had a fantastic time with the ocean steps from our door. This type of accommodation is my favorite, where you have a kitchen and can operate independently in a gorgeous location without having to rely on restaurants, especially with our small kids (there are restaurants a short walk away down the beach). The concierge Michaela made sure we had whatever we needed when we needed it, which was an unexpected bonus. We would return in a heartbeat!

This place was amazing! Literally right on the water. Villa Emerald the one we stayed in, was the best IMO. The service was top notch, if you needed anything Michaela and staff were on it. We wanted to go out snorkeling at like 2:30pm randomly one day, we hit up Roberto and his only response ever was “sure”. We spent most of the days on the water with Roberto’s guys- Mr.Chocolate was the best for snorkeling, he knows every single specie of fish and educates you while taking you to all the right spots. House keeping comes in every day, picks up your dirty laundry, washes, folds it and returns it next day. Michaela had a golf cart lined up for us for the week, she coordinated massages for inside our villa and made sure we always had transportation on our travel days. The only bummer I have is the sargassum in the waters edge all down our beach was pretty heavy so we couldn’t just jump in the water from our porch, but the view was incredible! The service was exceptional, the staff was amazing and we will most definitely be back! Notes: Hol Chan a must. Eat the Marie Sharp’s hot sauce with everything, it’s so good, reef fishing was killer, Secret beach has the best piña colada’s, and use lots of sunblock and bug spray!

Where to even begin... We were looking for a place to escape the winter and meet up with grandparents. I searched the internet for a place that looked like this one in the picture. The villa is actually better in real life, amazing. The short flight from Belize city is part of the vacation experience with aqua colored water as far as you can see. When we got to the villa Michaela was there to welcome us and got us food delivered from the restaurant a few doors down called Portofino. The view from the villa is breathtaking. Looking out from the living room the deck merges with the ocean and there was a constant breeze with the sound of the palm leaves rustling. The villa is just right, the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and kitchen is well equipped. The deck is the best part of the house though. They keep the grounds maintained and the lighting at night is very calming. You feel like you are on your own personal beach. We kayaked out towards the barrier reef and swam in the crystal clear water, we fished off the dock, we walked the beach, we watched iguanas sunbathing. We booked a snorkeling trip, a fishing trip, and a trip to swim with sharks. We rented a golf cart for the week and had a lot of good laughs on that thing avaoiding the pot holes. We drove to secret beach where our 6 year old could play in the clear water for hours looking at colorful little fish and crabs. The restaurant, Portofino, a few doors down from the villa is VERY good. We ate there for breakfast and most dinners. We did try other places, John's Escape made great American food and tipsy lobster and truck stop offer a variety of food options, all very good. Even the cafe at the airport had good Belizean food. One of the groundskeepers, Marlon (also an author of a book about Belize), got us fresh coconuts from the tree and fresh sugar cane to try, our 6 year old was in heaven. After our fishing trip we hired the chef to cook the fresh snapper and it was TERRIFIC. The grilled plantains and flan were dreamy. The day before we departed they arranged for a nurse to come to the villa and give us covid tests and certify the results, easy. Michaela was great at arranging everything. I hesitate to mention the one negative but here it is: the boat ride to and from the airport didn't show up both time so a taxi took us. Oh well. That is no fault of the villa. We would love to go back.

The Emerald is one of 12 units in the La Perla development. The covered front porch is a beautiful deck about 30'-40' from the shoreline! The manager, Michaela, was a wonderful host and made sure our needs were met, including scheduling a massage on the front porch! I hope we are able to get back to the Emerald quickly!
