Great experience all the way around! Ester was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Anton kept the grounds and pool immaculate throughout our stay, despite the winds and pesky leaves. The home had everything we needed for our 12 day stay. San Pedro is a beautiful place and the Belizean people are very friendly. The food is incredible! Tuff E Nuff tours put us on the fish with a great boat, guide (“Pepper”), and fishing gear. Happy Island was the place to be at Secret Beach. Restaurants like Maxie’s, Elvi’s Kitchen, The Hula Bar, Black Orchid, and Lone Star Tavern are excellent choices for lunch and dinner. YOLO snorkel tours was awesome! Needless to say, we will be going back!

We had an excellent stay and this home was truly perfect for our group of 9 (two families). The two-story layout was ideal: parents took the two bedrooms upstairs, and our 20-somethings had the three bedrooms downstairs—everyone had their own space and it never felt crowded. Beds were all very comfortable and we all slept great.We loved having both a full kitchen upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs. We cooked breakfast each morning and a couple of dinners and everything we needed was there. The pool was a huge plus (the beach area isn’t really a lounging beach), and we enjoyed the hammocks on the dock. The kayaks and paddleboard were an awesome bonus and got used more than once. And a big convenience: both excursions we booked picked us up right at the home’s private dock.The absolute best part, though, was Ester and Anton. Ester went above and beyond helping us book excursions and pointing us to great places to eat and shop. Anton was there daily helping keep the bugs at bay, and when a picnic table bench broke, he had it fixed within a few hours.Beds were comfortable, towels were plentiful (bath and beach), and the washer/dryer made it easy to keep up with beach towels during the week. The home feels private and quiet, but it’s still only about a 20-minute ride into town, with a couple restaurant options close by. Stax Bar became a repeat nightcap spot and is within walking distance.Highly recommend. Casa Amarillo made our trip easy, comfortable, and memorable!

Overall our stay was fantastic. It’s a typical beach home - there will be a bit of sand, weathered wood, and a bit of rust on metal objects, but all in all a great house. It’s exactly what I expected based on similar beach homes I’ve been to. Most of the beds are very comfortable, we found one that was pretty firm, but no complaints. Plenty of kitchen utensils, etc. there is an outside fridge near pool, and someone comes by quite a bit to rake and clean the sandy area. Other than a small hiccup on confusion regarding golf carts at our arrival (resolved quickly) everything was great. Ester is there to help and she will do what she can to help you have a great trip - easy communication via WhatsApp. I will say on location that there is a pretty long golf cart ride to town on what can be a very bumpy gravel road - probably 20 min. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and small markets nearby to meet your needs though if you don’t want to travel all the way to town. The plus side of being 20 min out is much less traffic. We went to town almost everyday so the road didn’t bother us much, we got used to it. The water is very shallow off the dock, not meant as a swimming area. Stick to the pool for that. Our tour guides were able to get their boats to the dock to pick us up though. Also, plenty of resorts and bars nearby that you can use their area to access the ocean if that’s what you are looking for. I would rent this house again without concern.

Casa Amarillo is perfect for up to 5 couples! The house was clean, the two kitchens make it very convenient and the pool was very clean as they stopped by almost every morning to clean it! Ester couldn’t have made our trip any smoother. She answered all questions, booked our flight from Belize City to Ambergris Caye and our shuttles to the house. Super host, great home and Belize is amazing!

Perfection in Paradise

We had 7 adults and two kids under 7. The place worked out perfectly for our group, we caught fish right off the dock, having a private pool worked out great. It is a bit of a ride to town on dirt roads, but well worth it for the peace and quiet we enjoyed at the property. Very family friendly, management staff are great!!! We will be back.

We had a great few days on the island with a group of 10 adults. Enjoyed the location of the house being close enough if we wanted to go into town but also far enough away that is was quite. The house was clean and big enough for all to enjoy. The pool area, patio, and dock were all nice spaces to sit and enjoy the views. Would recommend renting golf carts to get around.The team was responsive to our requests and made sure we had a great stay.

Island living

You'll get a true taste of Belizean life in this property. The location works great if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of San Pedro, it's about a 20 minute golf cart ride to the center of town. There are some good restuarant options nearby, don't miss the Drink & Drive, it's fun! We had limited cooking opportunities in the kitchens, as it was not as fully stocked of a kitchen to cook as we are used to. The appliances (dishwaser, stove, washer/dryer, coffee maker) are all a bit dated, but mostly operational once you know what to do. AC works great which is critical! Pool and dock were fantastic, our crew did lots of great fishing off the dock at all hours of the day. Thank you to Ester who was a fantastic concierge for all of our many questions and needs!

This was our second time staying at this property and everything went very well. We enjoyed our first trip enough to book a return several years later.

Multi-Generational Family Vacation to San Pedro

We had a truly amazing stay at Casa Amarillo! All of the staff at Pelican (Ester in particular) were knowledgeable and exceedingly helpful. They arranged everything for us-flights to/from the island, golf cart rental, a private chef, and excursions-we just had to show up and enjoy our time. The property was beautiful, as advertised. We spent our afternoons in the private pool. Cesar, the groundskeeper, was attentive and even sprayed for mosquitoes for us when we asked. San Pedro was a fun town to explore, with lots of unique dining options. We did a private snorkel/fishing charter to Hol Chan and the guys took a second fishing charter that was beyond successful! We took our catch to Margie and Kenny's Hangout, where they turned it into a personal dinner for our family. Mariceli cooked 3 amazing meals for us-we'd highly recommend her!
