C3 @ Blue Water Beach Villas *Gold Standard Certified - San Pedro, Belize District

The condo was very roomy for a one bedroom. Was decorated very nice and felt very homey and had a great beach feel. If any issues the maintenance people on the property were very prompt on fixing. Location was nice if you like to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet doable if wanted to go into town. Liked that there were a few places for eating and entertainment close by.

View from the balcony was incredible. Very quiet location out away from town. Condo was neat and clean while providing everything I needed for my stay.

We loved being away from town but close enough to enjoy amazing restaurants and bars. The views are unbeatable. Having the kayaks available made enjoying the reef an amazing experience!

Loved the view and the apartment. Secluded from the noise of the busy town. This place is far north on the island. My only complaint is I wish they would have addressed the ants when I mentioned starting to see them. By the end of the trip they were all over the place even in the microwave and bathroom areas. We couldn’t even put our dinner on the table because the ants were so bad.

The view, the ocean, the pool, the suite, proximity to restaurants. Nice people, chill, relaxed vibe. Going back next year!

We enjoyed our three night stay in the C3 unit.

I spontaneously decided to travel to San Pedro with my best friend and we were beyond pleased with our accommodations. Upon booking, our host Michaela, reached out to me to help us prepare for the trip. We reserved a golf cart to get around town. It was about a 30 minute drive from town to get to the apartment. We highly recommend renting the golf cart, as it gave us independence to go where ever we’d like, when we wanted - instead of waiting for cabs. We had so much fun driving around in the cart and recommend packing a small speaker if you’d like to blast music while you drive. We spent most of our commutes singing at the top of our lungs like kids. Michaela was so helpful throughout our stay. She communicated with us to schedule massages on our private pier, snorkeling excursions, and even offered to fill the kitchen with groceries. Thank you Michaela!
The accommodations were great - with a full kitchen, flat screen TV, Air Conditioning, laundry machines, a clean / updated bathroom and such a cozy bed. We would cook in the mornings and have a peaceful breakfast with a great view from our balcony. The bathroom was equipped with soft towels, a hair dryer and a surplus of toiletries. In the kitchen, you can find any utensil, appliance, or kitchenware you’d need to cook a full dinner and more. Under the sink, guests can find important essentials like sunscreen and bug spray. We added a bottle of aloe vera to that bundle, because we didn’t finish our bottle and knew future guests could benefit from it as much as we did. The living room had magazines, cards and games that would be great for groups to enjoy. The bedroom had long shades that keep the light out so you can sleep in, if you choose to. The pool was fun to jump into, or just lounge next to and soak up the sun. There were power outlets throughout the apartment, which allowed us to charge up our devices with ease, whenever and wherever we wanted.
The only things we would change were the distance from town, just because we made friends that were staying further south. We also would have loved to have a full length mirror in the apartment.

We couldn’t possibly say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The apartment exceeded our already high expectations. We felt welcomed, safe and happy every day. I usually try to visit new places when I have opportunities to travel, but both of us agree that we would love to visit Belize again, and will definitely book our stay here once it is time for us to return.

This was our second time in Belize and we cannot get enough! The location is perfect! We took the kayaks out to the reef and snorkeled for hours! Sun Deck next door has fantastic food and hospitality. If you go to the dock around 4 pm local kayakers/fisherman come by with fresh lobster and fish! Secret beach is close and a must see! Get a gold cart and rent blue water beach villas, u won’t b disappointed!!!

“This place is fantastic! One thing that threw me off was my GPS wanted me to go around instead of taking a right from the main road going north. The villa is approximately 30-45 minutes north of town if you’re driving a golf cart. They do offer pick up and drop off as well but I highly recommend getting a golf cart. We also booked our snorkeling and fishing trip through Vacasa which worked very well and was easy.”

“This place was great! Clean, beautiful decor, great view from the front area and the balcony. It was about a 20 minute golf cart ride from town to get to the location but there were plenty of eateries and other places to stop along the way. Michaela was great as far as making sure everything was good with accommodations, setting up golf cart rental, and suggesting activities. This is the perfect location if you want peace and quiet but still want to participate in some action near by.”

Third floor views and breezes are outstanding

Had a great stay at the Blue Water Beach Villas. Not right in San Pedro but close enough by golf cart. Loved the pool, the convenience of the full kitchen, washer and dryer, not to mention AC.

This was our first time in Belize and the experience could not have been better. We feel we made a good choice when deciding to stay in this condo. First off, the staff makes you feel safe, comfortable and important. Since the moment of our reservation they contacted me to clarify all questions and provide detail information such as activities, transportation, check in & check out, and track our arrival and departure flights. They made great recommendations on the island for things to see, places to eat, where the local grocery store is (because condo has full kitchen). The condo is MORE gorgeous than shown in the photos, in a safe area, quiet, clean, spacious, excellent crosswinds with balcony door and front door open so we barely needed AC even (even though condo has fans and air conditioning), good internet service and cable tv. Did I say the 3rd floor view is ... AMAZING :), the pool is perfect, and the beach is just what we needed. You can fish right off the dock if you choose to. Golf cart got is to everything we needed to even though there are a few places to eat/drink nearby. The condo is affordable and well worth it!! Highly recommended! My husband and I enjoyed it very much!

This unit is brand new and in a building of 12 units total. Its very quiet and the VIEW is great! You can even see the beautiful blue ocean standing in the kitchen and sitting in the living room of the condo. The unit is 1 BDRM and very spacious with new appliances, comfortable beds and furniture, and a HUGE balcony area. It includes a full equipped kitchen so we were able to cook some meals, make some snacks while we laid at the pool/beach, and it has a washer/dryer so we washed our clothes before heading home! Overall we really enjoyed this unit and would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay. Everything about the condo was easy and just right. The water view was picture perfect and a joy to wake up to, the beach was lovely, pool was great, we enjoyed the restaurants close by, as well as all the places we went in town. Every aspect of this experience met our highest expectations. Definitely not disappointed.

Location is amazing and quiet. Pool, beach, staff, grounds, all outstanding. Can not stress enough about the ocean view. We went north and south from downtown/San Pedro. I would not stay anywhere else because the location was great for us. Staff and Security kept things comfortable. Rojo's just down from the complex was very close, convenient, and has great food. Try the lobster pizza or habanero wings. They rock. Grocery stores in town allowed us to take our golf cart rental to stocked our room with food, beer/wine, alcohol, etc. Saved plenty by eating and drinking in the room, or taking our cooler down by the pool/beach. Kayaks and the dock made great time fishing and snorkeling. On site bar/restaurant would be nice. It met all of our expectations and then some. Will definitely recommend to friends and return again in the future.

When we arrived, the view was even better than we saw online. The location was good for everything we wanted to do. Going into town, to visiting Secret beach, we were able to come to the unit and feel very comfortable with everything we needed right there. The condo was quiet and everything was brand new so no problems with things being operable or available, as well as being very clean. Very important. The unit is spacious, furniture is comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, and the overall style of the unit was very nice. We spent many hours on the balcony admiring the view and the tradewinds, and spent time in the pool and on the beach. Great to walk out from 3rd floor view, to white sand, beautiful blue water, and a clean pool. Unit was great too with all the amenities and staff that helped us. Truly hated to leave!

We stayed in this condo for the full month of February, 2019. What an amazing place! Our arrival in the afternoon/evening was a little rocky without anyone there to meet us but the owner of the condo was amazing in helping with directions via whatsapp to the condo and having the on-site caretaker Nollie there to meet us. He had opened up the condo for us and had the patio doors open and lights on when we arrived. He helped us carry our luggage into the condo, welcomed us and refused all attempts to give him a tip to do so as none of it was his job and it was well past his hours of work. Nollie was always offering to help, carry things, loan me brooms and mops or just offering information when we needed it. He even cut coconuts from the tree, opened them and brought one for each of us to try. They are still working on two of the 12 units of this building so there is still some construction going on. However, the grounds of the complex were completely finished, clean and free of any construction debris...beautifully landscaped as well. Nollie would even come to our unit to make sure we were not napping before he would run the tile saw (as he was working next door to us) and he always cleaned up the entry way to the unit he was working on; sweeping and mopping everyday. Internet was a biggie for us on our trip as we worked while there. The owner of the unit worked with us to make sure that they had an appropriate internet package all hooked up for our arrival. We did have issues with the internet once while we were there but we were able to use the main condo internet to contact the owner...again she was amazing and contacted the provider immediately. They had been doing some road work and hit a line knocking out our service but had it back up in less than 12 hours and came to the unit to check that everything was okay the next day. There is no phone with the unit; we had brought our own to hook up once there, however, we found it was not necessary to do so. Internet on the island is good everywhere and no matter where you go they are more than willing to share their internet passwords with you. Most if not everyone on the island communicates using whatsapp so booking excursions was easily done through this. The owner of the condo was good about giving us these tips prior to our arrival so we were able to connect whatsapp and get familiar with it. The condo itself......the view is second to none, I could've just lived out there. The condo is new and very nicely decorated. I found that it had all amenities available for our stay. Kitchen was well appointed with dishes, pots and pans, cutlery and serving utensils. I especially loved the thoughtfulness of all of the large bowls and storage containers that were provided. All appliances were new and worked perfectly. Water cooler was especially handy to have. We ended up getting a second jug for it so that we could exchange the jug without running out of water since we were there for the whole month. Although that being said the building is on a reverse osmosis system and the tap water is 100% safe to drink. We used the water cooler water strictly for our drinking bottles and the tap water for coffee and cooking with. Some things to bring with you, would be travel coffee and drinking mugs. The condo has plenty of regular cups and glasses but nothing for taking with you which I think is pretty standard but thought it worth mentioning at least for a long trip anyway. Just a note on the hot water, as you will likely think you don't have any upon your first shower.....you have to turn the handle the entire way or it will just run cold. Being used to ours at home it took a good ten minutes to figure that one out. lol Bed was comfy, towels and linens all clean and new. Blackout blinds in the bedroom were appreciated on days when we wanted to sleep in a bit. The complex has two kayaks for guests to use; first come first serve type thing. We used these A LOT! You are able to kayak out to a buoyie not too far out and tie onto that, hop in and snorkel some amazing reef right out in front of the condo. We are pretty avid snorkelers so are pretty picky with where we go, this was some of the best snorkelling we did on the caye. We saw tons of fish, barracuda, snapper, green moray eel, squid, sting ray, turtles, lobster, crab, conch and an amazing huge manta ray which you typically don't see inside the reef! The kayaks are easy to get back into as well so no worries there. The pier out front of the condo is well kept and my husband fished off of it almost every single night often catching supper. You will need to bring or buy your own gear for fishing but it is way cheaper than booking anything through a guide and we even pulled in an ell and had a sting ray on our line!! We used sardines for bait which you can purchase at any local store...just ask! The fishing and snorkelling were the two highlights of our trip and this condo really does have in all in regard to that. Your excursions will also pick you up on the pier your booked at Mexico Rocks or fishing. A golf cart at this location is a must. We booked through Rick's Custom Carts and they were absolutely fabulous to deal with. They met us with our cart as soon as we notified them we were there. Our first cart was acting a little temper mental within the first week so we stopped to get them to check it out. There was zero delay they just handed us the keys to a cart that had just been serviced and we were on our way. Drop off for the cart was easy as well just leave it at the airport/water taxi and they will pick it up. You'll want to make sure to visit secret beach and experience the in water restaurants and bar. Try taking a left when you get to the beach at the Blue something or another, much nicer that the other side of secret beach and snorkelling there was way better. Grocery stores are everywhere in San Pedro but we found Richies and the Supermart to not only be the cheapest but I was always charged the posted prices here. Several other stores added to the price hoping that tourists wouldn't notice but would remove the extra once pointed out. Also, watch your change when paying. they like to give change in both currencies and I found that this was usually when they were short changing me, but again once pointed out they corrected it. You have to experience a movie night at the TruckStop at the outdoor movie screen. Wednesday's is movie night there. Other favourites were Nari's tacos...tacos were 3/$1.00 belize!! Believe me your gonna wanna buy a dozen of them...and eat them EVERY day! lol . Elvi's was also delish and the Palapa bar with live entertainment. We did two snorkelling trips; Mexico Rocks and Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley. We booked both trips through Searious adventures, they were the cheapest at $43 USD for a half day trip. The guides were great, they even took my underwater camera and swam down for some close up shots for me of several creatures we saw. Word of advise, do not skip the duty free at the airport upon your arrival. Booze is super cheap there $25 USD for 40oz imported brands in San Pedro your gonna pay over $100 for the same bottle. Load up on whatever you're able to take then just buy local brands (if your there long enough to need more)! Honestly I could go on and on, best vacation of our lives. We've travelled a fair amount and have been to Belize before but this was by far the best. You truly won't go wrong with this condo! Enjoy, we sure did!!
