About this property

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.
You may find seaweed/sargassum on the beach shoreline from seasonal shifting of currents and weather patterns in the region.

Other things to note:

San Pedro Town has a Caribbean/Mexican lifestyle and is bustling in activities during the day. Visitors can enjoy and experience the island cuisine at one of the many restaurants, cafes and bars in town. Or just simply enjoy watching the locals going about their daily chores.

Power outages are not uncommon on Ambergris Caye. We at Las Amapolas do our best to ensure that whenever this happens you are still comfortable. Please note that whenever the power goes out water is still available in your ‘room. We also provide you with an emergency light for your use if the power goes out at night. The service is usually restored within a couple of hours . The power outages are out of our control. The Belize Electricity Limited the provider of electricity here in Belize should have this problem solve soon.

To maintain our clean standard, We are pleased to announce that we have received our Gold Standard Certificate and was given a safe medal on our enhanced health and safety measures to help our visitors’ experience an even cleaner escape from the hustle & bustle of our new lifestyle.

Great Little Find

This is a really nice property for a single or couple that doesn't need a full apartment. A/C worked perfectly. The kitchenette was stocked well enough for small meals and snacks and the beach was very well kept!

Cozy slice of heaven on Ambergris Caye

Las Amapolas delivered as promised. If you are looking for a cozy, well-equipped place to base your Ambergris Caye vacation from and away from the crowd, this is it. The location is lovely, right on the beach. The deck was the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and the beautiful sunrises, and to listen to the surf breaking over the barrier reef. We divided our meals between eating / cooking in and dining out. The kitchen area is small and so efficiency is the watchword. There are lovely restaurants a short walk down the beach in either direction and some lovely local stores for fresh fruit and veggies, baked goods and other necessities. Our excellent host Gach Guererro was very attentive to our needs and comfort and an all-round gentleman. It all made for a wonderful and very relaxing two weeks.

Peaceful stay and amazing staff!

The place was exactly as described online. Very clean and quiet. Everyone we met that worked on or around the property were absolutely amazing! Gach helped with anything we needed, and Captain Robbie gave us an unforgettable day with a private deep water fishing trip and snorkeling. Very highly recommend!!!!

The place was perfect beautiful beach area. It wasn't listed but the owner Gach offered a kayak to take to the reef. June is a hot time of year and the AC barely kept up as we like it low 70 while we sleep. Overall Gach place was amazing and very peaceful.

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!

Short but oh so sweet

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.

Beautiful view

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.

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.

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.

Best time EVER!

Cannot say enough about how perfect this spot was for us - we got everything we needed out of this casita (and trip at large) and more! Thank you Nellie and crew for making everything easy and as stress free as possible. The spot itself is enough away from the town center that you had privacy, but not so secluded/far away that you felt too removed/isolated. Friendliest host and locals. Beautiful views. Exceeded our expectations! Thank you!!!

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.

Belize Stay

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.

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.

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

About the host

Hosted by Gach Guerrero

Host profile image
Greetings!
My name is Gach Guerrero and I was born on the island. All my life I have worked for the local airline industry. Presently I am with Maya Island Air. I like to travel and meeting people. I like to do community work and for twenty five years I was the Chairman if the International Costa Maya Festival, Belize's biggest festival. I have served as Chairman of the Belize Tourism Board and have also been involved in different organizations promoting tourism.

Due to my job my first cousin Nellie of Nellie"s Property Management is in charge of Las Amapolas. She is also a native of the island.

Why they chose this property

The land has been in the family for a very long time. In 2015 my father passed away and we his children (seven men and three women) inherited the land. One of my brothers and I decided to build a casita to spend our free time and share it with tourists that are looking for a quiet little piece of paradise.

What makes this property unique

The place is out of town. A ten minute boat ride or a 30 minutes on golf cart.
