The house was great, as advertised. The pier our front was perfect for our charter captain to pick us up. Lots of time spent in the hammocks, playing corn hole and of course hanging in the pool. Haydee and her cooks did an amazing job with every meal. Wish the stay could have lasted longer.

We had a wonderful family vacation. There were 9 of us and the property provided plenty of room and beautful views. Peggy, property manager, was very helpful leading up to the trip and the on-site staff was amazing. Haydee, Sonia, and Claudia prepared wonderful meals and adjusted times to meet our excursion schedules. Haydee also assisted us with ferry tickets, local places to visit, and directions around the island. The staff was personable, kind, and went out of their way to insure we had a fabulous stay at their property.

My friends and some family all stayed here for a week to celebrate my 35th birthday. Belizeans are very friendly people and we had no problem getting a van that could fit all of us with our luggage for the short drive to the house. Staff greeted us and had food about ready for us. Haydee, Sonya and Claudia took care of us the entire week and we couldn't have been happier to have them there. This allowed for a true vacation where we could relax and we convinced them to have fun with us to hang out the night of my birthday, which was super sweet. DO NOT FORGET MOSQUITO REPELLANT! This is called mosquito coast for a reason! If you do so happen to forget, we were able to pick more up on the golf carts they conveniently had on the property. I didn't check pricing, but compared to daily rates i saw with no haggling involved, renting the carts with their weekly rate was the way to go. The rooms upstairs can get a little warm with all of the beautiful windows, but that's to be expected. The A/C units they have in each room work very well. I slept comfortably every night until the last night when there was no breeze. Wind will keep the mosquitos away and considering we were there for the summer solstice in the warmer season, it was actually quite nice having the seabreeze. Carlos met us at the property the evening we came in. We did two excursions with his daughter, Roan and Isreal on the catamaran. Again, just amazing, kind people!

We absolutely loved Haydee and her ladies cooking amazing meal after meal! Don’t think I will travel again without arranging for and in house cook. House and grounds were well kept and we enjoyed our stay. Carlos with SUYA tours kept us busy and the strong ocean breeze helped with the heat and mosquitos.

Casa Tortuga was perfect for our trip with two families. Haydee, Claudia and Sophia were the best and the food was outstanding. We will be back!

Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic, Staff Amazing, House impeccably furnished and clean. Will definitely be back again.

We absolutely loved Casa Tortuga! No one wanted to leave! Accommodations and food were top notch! Haydee and Claudia are what make the experience from excellent to outstanding! The meals they cook are the signature amazing! My family agreed that Haydee and Claudia were the rose of our vacation! Do not underestimate what they do….to eliminate the ..what time,where, and what to eat makes your vaca so much more relaxing ! You will not be disappointed!

Everything was amazing! Beyond expectations. The people of Belize are exceptionally friendly. Loved the neighborhood, the house is spectacular. Haydee, Claudia and Sophia were so attentive and the food was outstanding. I don’t have enough good adjectives to describe our experience. Peggy, our Host could not have been more accommodating in providing information and suggestions. Truly a vacation that will be hard to beat. Hope to go back again one day. Thanks and gratitude!! -Kim

Peggy and her staff most responsive to all needs--made for a delightful stay for all 14 of us.

From the pool to the dock to the wonderful meals to the cleanliness, Casa Tortuga fit our family needs—8 adults and 5 children (ages 9 and under). Haydee and her crew accommodated our food allergies and even baked an egg-free birthday cake for our celebration. Carlos arranged all of our excursions, making that easy for us. We had a wonderfully spring break!

We thought the meals were the best we have ever had on vacation. It was awesome not to have to think about shopping, cooking or cleaning during our vacation. The house staff were personable, available and nonintrusive. The house had a lot of character. The tours we took were all great- snorkeling twice, cave tubing, zip lining, sunset cruising and some went to the ATM cave. We were not able to swim at the house but would take the golf carts to Secret Beach. This was one of our best vacations.

A wonderful place with an incredible staff. They are the best cooks on the island and it took so much pressure off knowing they had everything taken care of. San Pedro has not be taken over by tourist and development like many other places you might consider. Very authentic feeling and friendly people. Give yourself some extra time with the trip to San Pedro and the snorkeling should be required bc it was so incredible. Great trip!

The property does not disappoint and the service was incredible. We were totally spoiled with Haydee and her team who took such good care of the ten of us. The food was incredible!!!! I think that this was the best property on the island and can not wait to come back.

I stayed at Casa Tortuga for my 40th birthday celebration and it was AMAZING! I will say the ONLY negative was being so far from some of the excursions. Haydee and her staff were absolutely wonderful! The food was great! They really went above and beyond for me and my friends! I will definitely stay here again. Felt like a hidden gem!

Had the most amazing week at Casa Tortuga! Our entire family had a wonderful vacation and Haydee and Claudia made that happen. They prepared 3 meals a day, cleaned, shopped, helped to make fishing trips happen and taxis to the airport. The place is exactly as pictured and more. Golf carts are a must and it is great fun to travel the island all week by them. If you are a tired Mom who wants a vacation too, this place is for you! The only thing I wish we had gotten were floats for the pool. Next time!

The house was spacious. Everyone had their own room and bathroom. We were picked up at the pier for excursions. Haydee was prompt with meals. We ate lunch elsewhere. Very safe. Unfortunately all the beaches have litter. The pool was really nice but no heater so it was not really useable in December. We enjoyed hanging out at the house. Get lots of golf carts. It’s a pretty bumpy ride in to town. Haydee handled that for us. The house was really great for our family with a toddler. Communication with Peggy was great.

Everything was absolutely amazing. The host was responsive and accurate. The Chef is worth every penny. The food prepared was above all expectations. Suya tours was fantastic on our outings and events. Nothing could have been better.

We had the most amazing experience staying at Casa Tortuga. This was my 3rd time to San Pedro and the food has always been good, but Haydee and her crew blew our minds with their meals. We even requested repeat dishes. The Villa was beautiful and clean. We are already planning our next stay.

This place is simply amazing. Each room is like its own suite and the beds are so comfortable. The grounds and pool are kept beautifully! The dream was the staff on site and the chef with her helpers. Each meal was the best we had had on the island (we have been here a month and tried places from the furthest north end to the south!) The tables were gorgeous, everything was to the dot on time. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

This rental was everything advertised and more. The location was perfect for our family, the house was large enough to accommodate everyone, Maria and crew prepared the most amazing meals, and Carlos arranged incredible tours.. Cannot recommend this house enough!

11 of us, 2 families with 7 kids ages 18 to 20. Properly was beautiful and so clean. Haydee the cook prepared wonderful meals and were some of the best on the island! Rent the golf carts! And rent the guest house for a large group. So glad we did!

We loved the layout of the property and Maria was definitely the highlight of our trip. Carlos and his team specifically Raul made our excursions very memorable. The only negative comment I have is that the rooms, especially the bathrooms need some renovations and uplift and all hardware needs to be updated. We ran out of hot water very quickly during showers. Overall, the house is awesome and was very easy to get around town in the golf carts.

Communication from the beginning of the booking all the way up until arrival time with Margaret was phenomenal. I had a lot of questions and she had all the answers, was patient and informative. Maria and her team were absolutely amazing. Every meal was prepared with love and care and was always delicious. It was also great to be at eating breakfast and coming back to an already cleaned room and bathroom. They were all helpful and so welcoming. I brought in decorations for my husbands 40th birthday and while out on a sunset catamaran tour Maria and her team decorated and had dinner ready upon our return. I can’t stress how much Maria and her team helped make this a great trip. The view from the property is gorgeous. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. The property is gorgeous as well. We were a little disappointed that we could not enjoy the beach front at the property due to all the seaweed in the water. But we did a tour to Secrets Beach to enjoy the beautiful water there. We had some issues with ants in the rooms as well but Maria and her team were working hard trying to get rid of them. The golf carts were a great addition to be able to go out and explore the town. We used them a lot. We were ate up horribly by mosquitoes and sometimes ants so be prepared for that. If you can pack a citronella candle in your bag, do it! Off spray wasn’t helping. Overall it was a great trip and we would definitely come back to see Maria again.

We had 4 couples at Casa Tortuga and there was plenty of room for another couple! The rooms had privacy like a hotel but shared space to gather for all of us! Maria and her crew were absolutely amazing! We had the best food, fantastic fishing and excursions and amazing location to town!

From start to finish I could not be more pleased with my experience at Casa Tortuga. We traveled with a party of 11 arriving at two different times. Carlos, owner of Suya Tours, had a van meet us at the airport to bring us to the docks so he could give us a private boat ride to the island. They waited patiently while one of our parties was five hours delayed and made sure we made it to Casa Tortuga safely. We were greeted by Maria, Claudia and Haydee with friendly smiles and a table full of wonderful food. The culinary experience was divine throughout the week. With a mix of Belizean delights, the food was always delicious and fresh. From pastries and fruits to lobster and local delicacies, each meal got better as the week went on. Maria and her staff kept the Villa spotless and always made sure that our every needs were cared for. The view was impeccable, although the clouds negated the beautiful sunrise, we loved sitting around the pool and the veranda taking in the lovely scenery. Carlos, from Suya Tours, provided wonderful trips for the group and even organize trips with other venders when his company did not provide the desired activity. Roberto Bradley and his family made sure our fishing needs were met with outstanding service and loads of fish ( which the Ladies cooked up fresh!). Peggy’s open line of communication provided all the necessary information to make our vacation one for the ages. Overall it was vacation will never forget. From massages on the beach to snorkeling in the reef, sunset cruises to deep-sea fishing, there is something for everyone. Our experience at Casa Tortuga took us away from this crazy world and allowed us a glimpse into life in paradise. Thank you everyone at Casa Tortuga, you helped make memories we will always cherish!

Our entire party of 12 were so excited to stay at Casa Tortuga. The views were phenomenal. We loved the fact that the excursions come to the dock right beyond the enormous crystal clear pool. We had a great time and our wedding vow renewal on the beach was so picturesque. Maria and team will feed you royalties. Just let them choose the meals, they will not disappoint. Maria, Carlos, Roberto, and team made our time the most memorable. Thank you!
