Beautiful Comfortable Villa, 3x King ensuite 1x Bunk Room, Fishing, Snorkelling
Villa Del Mar is a Gold Standard Accommodation, meeting the highest standards of health, safety and sanitization services and is on the approved list of hotels as "Los Encantos Villas" (the name of our private 4 villa site). It is located just over 4 miles north of San Pedro town and is a short golf cart ride to Secret Beach which is on the west coast of the island. Day trips can start right at the end of our dock and can be arranged by our onsite caretaker or our local management company Reef Management. Our villa is a fully equipped 2 storey home. The villa features 3 king bedrooms with ensuite, one on first floor, two on ground floor both with ensuite with an additional bunk room for children up to the age of 14 . There is a newly enlarged fully equipped living area which features a kitchen complete with brand new eye level cooker and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The spacious lounge and dining area embraces the Belizean culture whilst providing all the modern comforts of home.
The seaview balcony sets this house aside from the rest as it features ocean views which you can enjoy whilst relaxing in a hammock or rocking chair. It also features a 4 seater table which provides the perfect outside dinner setting. There is nearly always a gentle breeze coming from the sea and there is nowhere better to sit and read, watch the world go by, or take a nap in the hammock! There is also internet if you do need to stay in touch with the outside world! There are 4 villas on site surrounding a saltwater pool. There are loungers and chairs beside the pool and several others around the property, some under the shade of a palapa. The flats outside the property are home to resident Bonefish. There are always numerous wading birds foraging for food as well. Villa Del Mar really is a home away from home in paradise. Of course, all questions welcome.
Belize like many other countries is dealing with Covid in an ever changing manner. All cleanliness protocols are in place , and up to date information can be be found on the BTB Website.

Beautiful property well maintained great time!
Enjoyed 10 days of paradise wonderful property everything you need to enjoy your time there, wonderful caretakers would come back again.
Absolutely loved this house! It was nice and spacious, with beautiful views of the ocean. I sat out every morning on the balcony for my morning coffee. Kitchen was well stocked and loved all the towels provided. The only addition I would make is it would have been nice to have a washing machine. The staff communicated well. Harley greeted us and checked on us daily. His wife made us a fabulous dinner! Highly recommend! The property hosts arranged for pick up and drop off from the water taxi terminal. They arranged a golf cart at the house when we arrived. Overall, a very nice experience and I would definitely recommend.
Our stay was more than we had expected!! The home and grounds were beautiful and very well appointed!!We felt like we had the property to ourselves! So quiet and peaceful... besides the 30 mph winds but the wind was part of the adventure :)Our snorkel trip with Ali Adventures was amazing! Saw so much sea life snorkeling and so exciting swimming with the sharks... just don't let the guide talk your teenager into letting them use your iPhone to film underwater... great video we got to see before the phone croaked. I-phones are not salt water proof. OOps but all is well. Our dinner of grilled grouper and veggies, mashed potatoes and the impossible cake was so delicious and enjoyed by our whole group. The house was very comfortable and lots of areas for us all to spread out and enjoy our time. Our booking and planning flights and things was great. There were a couple of snags but easily remedied and carried on!! We will be back to Villa Mar when we get a chance to visit Belize again.
My family of 6 stayed at Los Encantos for 3 days over the New Year's holiday and while the weather wasn't great, the property and the service was. The property manager and caretaker took care of all of our needs, which included food deliveries before we arrived, transportation to/from the airport and coordination of our golf cart deliveries. Based on the property, the location and the excellent on-site team, I would highly recommend Los Encantos for any single or multi-family vacation.
Property was awesome very well kept. House has everything you need for cooking or just hanging out. Harley is awesome and very knowledgeable about what to do and contacting excursion people. Clinton and the excursion group was great. Also Harley’s wife makes some excellent dinners if you just want to stay in. Taxi to and from airport all included and the golf cart was waiting for us at the property. They just made everything flow..
Amazing Property! Beautiful, Clean, Well-equipped, Private, and those Ocean Views!
To top it off, the amazing team of Harley, Nevia, Vicky, Kristie and Janice that took care of us and helped set up everything form our first night dinner, golf carts, seamless transfer from Belize City airport to our condo, laundry, where to eat and explore, etc...
Y'all made a trip that was a long time in the making,... Superb!!
Susan, thank you for working with us and getting us rescheduled for this Year.
Thank you from our Family.

The house was perfect for our girls trip. Very spacious and the kitchen was really well stocked. The hammock on the deck was absolutely perfect for sitting in while watching the sun rise. The pool is literally steps away from the house which is so convenient.
The property managers were awesome setting up our flights from Belize City and our golf cart (you definitely need a golf cart) as well as hooking us up with a tour guide to snorkel and visit Caye Caulker.
Carly and Vicki do an amazing job of keeping the house and the grounds in perfect order.
We would absolutely come back to Los Encantos!
Los Encantos was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our villa was perfect for 3 couples to share. Harley and his wife were amazing. The villa has everything you need. It’s clean and comfortable. The view is stunning. Highly recommend you booking with Ali mermaid adventures, they made our trip memorable one. There is even someone who delivers breakfast burritos to your door step in the morning! We will be back.
Beautifully managed property with an excellent staff. The grounds around our villa were gorgeous and Casa Del Mar was perfect for our group of 3 couples. We all thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Ambergris Caye. We will definitely be coming back here to stay again.
From the time of booking, we were impressed with Los Encantos. We had never traveled to Belize and Kristie Rodriguez from guest services really helped us out by promptly and kindly answering all our questions. Thank you!!
And, the poperty was even more beautiful than the online pictures! Harley took such great care of the property and all our needs.
With the the pool, beautiful palapa and pier right there, it felt like we were on a luxury island with beautiful views from the upper and lower decks.
Finally, the recommended boat trip with Clinton was well worth the money.
Great vacation all around!
We had such a great time! My husband and I were with 2 other couples. I loved the view from the top porch-very relaxing. Vicky was sweet and Harley was very helpful. The men loved to fish off the dock and even caught some bone fish. It was very windy for a few days and Harley kept the beach very clean.The beds were comfortable and having Vicky give us clean towels was great. She even washed and folded some of our clothes! I wish we could of stayed longer-10 days went by too fast.
Great house and great location!! We have stayed on this side, the opposite side and around the airport. This spot has by far been our favorite and the house had the best beach area for the kiddo. Walking right out of our door to good sand and then 10-25 years fk the beach was great!
House was super spacious and super cute!! We loved all the kitchen stuff supplied and it made it easy for cooking breakfast.
Harley is also great! He’s out and about all the time and helps with everything.
This was our second stay at this property. Great place on the beach! Caretakers are wonderful and very responsive as is the property manager! Will most likely stay again on another trip to Belize!
This was one of the best managed and most beautiful properties that we have rented through vrbo. The 2 storey 3 bedroom 4 bath Belizian villa was everything that we hoped for. Located right on the beach with an unrestricted view of the Caribbean Sea, bonefish and tarpon flats out front. The well maintained property featured a central courtyard with large saltwater pool and area to lounge in the sun. This is a very quiet remote property that is close to some great restaurants and grocery store. From the outset, our conversations with the owner were helpful, friendly and informative. The property management group made all of the arrangements for our pick up and drop off at the airport and arranged for a golf cart to be dropped off for our use while on the island. What a great spot. We will be returning.
Hands down easiest 5 star review! This was our first international vrbo rental and it could've been any easier and amazing. From start to finish Janice worked with us to ensure a seamless rental process. She even scheduled our round trip peddle jumper from Belize City to San Pedro (fantasitc airline - Tropic Air), had our driver meet us at the airport upon arrival for a hassle free arrival. It was like having a travel agent! *Scheduling our peddle jumper and driver service to/from airport was included in our rental.
Upon arrival at Los Encantos, Harley met us with instructions and was available on property for all our home needs (he even proactively replaced one of our rooms ac before we even knew it was needed). He was always there to keep the grounds meticulous and remove garbage and refill our 5 gallon drinking water.
Veronica came every other day to clean our home & replace bath and beach towels during our stay. She was so sweet and never interrupted our routine as she cleaned up.
The home was amazing. Perfect for our family of 5 with plenty of space & a large kitchen stocked very well. We had everything we needed to prepare food and drinks. The views from the balcony were beyond words. This place is paradise!
Clinton with Ali Mermaids took us out snorkeling and fishing and then bbq our fish and made us a delicious meal. I highly recommended booking with Clinton (5 stars!). We snorkeled among coral reef, string rays, and nurse sharks!
This condo was perfect for us. The property grounds were beautifully maintained and the caretaker was very helpful. The house was clean, comfortable with a gorgeous view and and in a quiet but convenient location. Met local guide Clinton when we arrived and he and his crew made our trip. We were so happy with him we used him for 2 snorkeling excursions and a trip to Xunantunich and cave tubing.
We stayed at this beautiful house over spring break and had the best time. The house is huge and has everything you could possibly need from board games, beach towels, and a well stocked kitchen. Harly and Nevia keep the grounds and the house in great condition and are there for anything you might need.
We took Janice up on her offer to book our flights from the Belize airport, our airport transfer, as well as have a golf cart waiting for us at the house; we didn't have to worry about managing multiple bookings. This was super helpful. Nevia gave us directions to local stores for food, and they put us in touch with Clinton to book our tours. During our stay we did a snorkelling/Caye Caulker trip, diving, and my husband went fishing. We also went to Secret Beach and tried multiple restaurants in San Pedro.
This was a memorable trip we'll be talking about for a long time. Thank you to Sue and Martin for sharing this wonderful place with us!
We found this location to be perfect. It was a smaller setting with only 4 villas on site, but this allowed us to interact with other people also staying but not feel like we were caught in a crowd. I have rented other locations in San Pedro and Caye Caulker and while enjoyed those trips, this was a calm beautiful piece of paradise to enjoy.
My friends and I enjoyed our time here, we found the staff and property manager to be so professional, friendly and simply welcoming. We found them to respond quickly and efficiently to any questions we had. Janice was so great at helping me to coordinate transfers of my friends to the airport and changing at the last minute. Nevia and Harley were so attentive and helpful. The grounds and villa are so well kept, assisted with laundry, setting up barbeque, helping us to coordinate on site massuese on the verandah etc. This was relaxing, fun easy to get to other restaurants and small local beachside bars. Dive shop nearby as well as easy for other dive shops to stop and pick up at the end of the pier. This was a pleasure, saltwater pool, huge windows with beautiful views, peaceful relaxing, I want to live here and never leave......you won't want to leave either. This was wonderful experience we will all remember for a long time.
Clean comfortable and fit our needs perfectly! Highly recommend

Beautiful Views, Little Hospitality
Overall, this was a great location to unwind and relax. It was quiet, visually stunning, peaceful and tranquil. What was lacking was the hospitality. As the sole Black folks who were staying in these villas at the time, we got looks, stares (even my children) and the cold shoulder from Harley, who works there). One of the property managers only engaged with us to implore us to book tours. We eventually did book tours but on our own, because we felt more comfortable. Hospitality can be greatly improved at this location. I will return to Belize, but I will not stay here due to how we were treated overall.

About the host
Hosted by Sue Newton
We are a middle aged British couple who have been visiting Ambergris Caye for about 6 years. In 2010 we were visiting again and staying down the beach from what is now our Villa. On a morning walk we noticed a 'For Sale' sign and the rest as they say is history. We have two grown up daughters who are both regulars at the villa and each of them have taken to it just the way we have. They enjoy the fact that they can laze around the pool for a few hours and then maybe go snorkelling or fishing depending on how the mood takes them.
Why they chose this property
My husband is a keen fly fisherman and the pursuit of Bonefish lead us to Belize and in particular Ambergris Caye. We love the fact that we can be sitting on the verandah, and can see Bonefish 'tailing' right there in front of our villa. He likes the fact that he can wade in beautiful clear warm water to the north or south of us chasing after these elusive fish. We enjoy the fact that we are very close to San Pedro town, a short water taxi ride away, but have the luxury of almost seclusion at our villa. Even if all four villa's are occupied, there are days when you might not see another person in or around the pool.
What makes this property unique
Each time we return to Villa Del Mar we have this overwhelming feeling that we are at 'home'. We just love the view that we have, and never seem to tire of it. Not a day goes by that we don't comment on how the reef looks. It sits just about half a mile out from us and some days you will barely notice it and others, there will be waves crashing right over it. It is not unusual to see a huge ray swimming past the dock, or dolphins gently passing by.We have several resident Iguanas that vary in size and take little or no notice of us, although they attract quite a lot of attention.
