Las Amapolas - Hidden Gem on the Beach + Wifi + A/C (1A)

Welcome! With a spectacular view of the world's second largest Barrier Reef. Las Amapolas is tucked among coconut palm trees and a white sandy beach. Las Amapolas is in a secluded beach which was once an old coconut grove (El Cocal) about 4.5 miles north of San Pedro Town, on the Mata Grande Area of Ambergris Caye. It is a 30 minute ride on golf cart to San Pedro Town. The road can be bumpy sometimes due to pot holes. Las Amapolas (386 sq. ft.), features a private balcony, a king size bed, with beach-chic furnishing. It's a fusion of simplicity, nature and comfort - BAREFOOT LUXURY and Naturally Beautiful.

P.S.

The perfect spot
I got really lucky choosing this place. We went in September, so I can't comment on what it's like in high season. Location was very secluded, with a beautiful view and constant breeze. The location is really perfect because it's close enough to San Pedro that you don't mind the golf cart ride to get there. I think we went 5 or 6 times. It's very close to Secret Beach and the activities there. There are restaurants close enough to walk or drive to so you don't have to go to San Pedro for a meal. Gach is wonderful. He chatted with us and prepared some coconuts. Super sweet. My only complaint about the room, and it's a mild one, is that cooking was harder than expected. I knew there would be a hot plate but for some reason I imagined it would have 2 burners instead of 1. We didn't feel like the grill was something we wanted to use. I bought groceries on the way in expecting to use the grill and had to adjust, cooking everything on the one burner hot plate. I would love to see them get a new grill and indicate that it's charcoal if propane is not going to be an option. Then proper groceries can be bought. You will need to fly or take ferry from Belize City to Ambergris. Ferry takes 1.5 hours. Next time I would take ferry once and fly once just for the experience The golf cart is part of the whole experience ❤️ Super Buy grocery had terrible produce and was $$$$ Sun Deck and Friendship restaurants were best food. Thomas for snorkeling perfecto

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.

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.

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!

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.

Amenities include Fishing and Snorkeling Guide onsite!
SUMMARY: Great location hidden off the main road with a tour guide right next door. ---------- BOOKING: All done with VRBO but then required going to town to get keys from property management company. This company will not show up correctly in google maps (search Laundromat instead of Property Management) and closes at 6pm. HOST: Gach was responsive and helped me a lot even after forgetting some items at the condo. He sent them to the airport for me next day. Unexpected amazing hospitality. ROOM: Cozy and all you need if you are spending most of the day on the beach. Beachfront view is nice. MISC: Thomas is in the house next door and is an amazing tour guide for fishing and snorkeling. Nice guy and cooked our catch too. Would recommend to anyone passing through a day or two for the tour guide experience or if you don't want to pay resort prices. It's 10 minutes away from the nearest store/restaurant as well too by golf cart and 20 minutes to town.

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.

Great host. Very helpful. Already planning another trip back. Only major issue was the air conditioner. There was no glass in the windows causing the cool air to escape. It would have been nice to have the room cooled before we even got there.

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.

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.

Excellent communication!
This was our 2nd time to the San Pedro. Nellie, the property mgr, and her crew were helpful and had excellent communications with us. Gach, the owner, was so helpful and kind. We had an issue while their, and Gach was so helpful. Also, when leaving the island you need a Covid test. Gach arranged it so the Nurses came to us and tested us on the front porch of our condo. The location is very North of everything—exactly what we were looking for! We had a dock for fishing off of. Our planned charters picked us up right out front—-such a HUGE time saver! Also, we did a lot of snorkeling in the area off the docks. It’s a beautiful location! We will be back!!!!
