About this property

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.

Bad weather but great service

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.

Villa Mar

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.

Perfect Place To Stay

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.

Perfect week on the Cay October 2024

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..

Beautiful place

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.

Amazing stay!!

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.

Fantastic Beach Vacation Spot!

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!

Amazing Property and impeccable service ✨

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.

Excellent place to stay

A private slice of heaven. One of 4 villas that share a sweet salt water pool and beach front. Although you can't really swim or snorkel directly off the beach because it's kind of mucky and full of sea grass in places on this side of the caye there are spots close by you can kayak out to reef. We were well cared for by Nevia and Harley.

Great Get Away

This the 2nd time we have stayed at this property! Our last stay was prior to the addition to the kitchen and the added space on the main floor. This is a fantastic property, the managers are great and were there to answer questions. The pool is always clean and big enough for everyone. Being right on the beach is wonderful for daily walks! We would absolutely recommend this property.

Great Getaway!

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!

Relaxing with friends

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.

Beautiful, private, and quiet surroundings in this home on the Beach

We had a wonderful visit, and the house was as advertised. Nevia and Harley were very personable caretakers, and Nevia made us a wonderful dinner the first night of our arrival which we ate for days, so much food! The temperature was perfect while we were there also. Clinton was our excursion and history guru extraordinaire when he took us to Altun Ha and then cave tubing in the afternoon, what an amazing day! Secrets beach was another fun day, a bar on the beach with tables literally out in the water. We had a blast and will be back again to Belize in the future!

Perfect

Stayed in Villa Del Mar for two weeks. The first, just my wife and I, the second with two other couples. Can't believe how relaxed I am still. Pictures of Los Encantos on the VRBO site does not do the house justice! Caretakers, Raquel and Sergio are awesome and the pups Poppy and Encanta are charming. Genie is a fantastic dive master. We rented a golf cart for most of the stay and it proved invaluable. Overall, one of the best vacations we have ever taken!!!

As Beautiful as the Pictures

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.

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.

Paradise!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Sue Newton

Host profile image
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.
