2nd trip to Ambergris Caye-Best Ever, February 4, 2009
By Jef Budd (Michigan, U.S.)
We selected this site because we like to be on our own to sight-see, fish,shop,cook,etc.We get tired of eating in restaurants, especially when fresh fruit, vegatables and seafood are so readily available. If you're looking for someplace to lay around and watch the kids splash about in a pool while someone brings you fancy drinks,or a party-spot to enjoy the island nightlife, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for peace & quiet and are willing to venture out a bit for groceries, etc., you'll likely be very pleased.Bike rental is suggested. The owner lives on site and is most accomodating. Grounds Mgr. Nelson is a very polite young man who knows the island well and can refer you to the best local "real food". He was happy to cut fresh coconuts for my wife regularily (grown on the property). There is even small banana trees growing by the back to pick. A charcoal grill is available and works great. No complaints - Just Go!!

Without question the best vacation my wife and I have ever been on. We compared it to other vactations we have taken, China, Bahamas, and Hawaii, no question this was the best overall. Wolfgang and crew were very helpful, and the facilities were nothing but first class. We will return and are making plans to rebook this week.

This was the most amazing vacation ever!! (I have already reserved a week for next year)!! From the moment we were greeted by Eldon and Wolfgang until the time we left, I felt right at home. The accommodations were exactly like the pictures. We had everything we needed, even to cook some local fish and lobster! Wolfgang will show you the local hot spots and he definitely knows best. A golfcart is a must for at least a few of the days. We HAD to be able to get our fresh juice and veggies (not to mention having access to all of San Pedro)! Because of the beautiful view of some of the most amazing snorkeling waters, the friendly people at Suya Tours (A MUST), Wolfgang and his beautiful accommodations, sweet Eldon, Merta, Affi, And Cookie... We will be back next year!! (I will try not to cry when I leave the next time). Love to you all! Tamara

I spent 10 days at Villa Casa Buena Vista near San Pedro.It is a wonderful House and very nicely furnished. It was very clean, and ready for us, upon our arrival. The beachfront is fabulous. Its very close to "Hol Chan Marine Reserve" and other prime snorkeling and diving sites. We had a perfect vacation on a well maintained and excellent run rental property. 5 Star vacation.

I spent a week at the lovely Casita Buena Vista (May 14-21, 2011). Upon arrival via taxi from the ferry, I was greeted by Eldon, the caretaker, Merta, the housekeeper, and Wolfgang, the host. Also involved in the greetings were Wolfgang's affectionate dogs: Affie and Cookie. After a quick tour of the grounds and Casita, and some time to refresh while my golf cart was delivered, Wolfgang took me on a comprehensive tour of town, pointing out favorite shops and eateries and explaining the general layout of the island. This tour provided a wealth of information and was much appreciated! The Casita is very spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. Eldon and Merta are delightful. Never a morning went by without Eldon's friendly greeting and inquiry as to my nights rest. The bed is comfortable, the water pressure excellent. There are two nice televisions that I barely watched, as time in the casita was spent corresponding with friends/family thanks to a reliable wifi connection (bring your laptop). I made friends with the people renting out the first floor of the main house, which looked lovely, indeed. We all enjoyed various tours with Suya Tours, three properties down. I had some ants in the kitchen, but it was my own fault for leaving food out. No problems with mosquitos, or other biting insects. Be sure to bring a good quality bug lotion (I used Ultrathon). As a solo female traveller, I felt very relaxed and comfortable on this property, and in this neighborhood. Wolfgang and his staff have a wonderful way of making you feel right at home, like old friends visiting for week. Cookie became my surrogate pet, and accompanied me on many beach walks and golf cart rides into town to pick up groceries. I highly recommend a golf cart, it's a fun and cost-effective way to get around town. Use Carts Belize. And while the Belize Barrier Reef is the star of the show, snorkeling out in front of the property is quite pleasant, too! And the fishing off the dock just steps away was wonderful. I caught 5 snappers one morning, which made for a tasty dinner that night! When visiting, be sure to visit Lazy Croc BBQ, Maria's stand for the best pineapples and juices and banana, Mr. Joe's and Suya Tours (both right down the road), Mannelly's Ice Cream (coconut!), Wine and Vine for imported cheese and meats, and I know I'm missing a bunch of other things. But most of all, give the dogs a scratch behind the ears, and my best regards to Wolfgang and his staff.

Best beach front property south of the town

Had an excellent 4 night stay at the Casa Buena Vista. Clean, modern, roomy, airy, well furnished, COMPLETE condo! Family loved the place. Wolfgang, the owner, is an excellent host who leaves you to your privacy and yet is always available in case needed. Very responsive and does all he can to provide you all necessary info to make your stay easy and comfortable. His 'town tour' is the most helpful thing as you end up leveraging so much of the info he rattles out. We explored the beach front quite a bit.....best property by far south of San Pedro that we came across. Most properties do not have clean water you can easily get into (lots of see weed). This one practically has a private 'Belizean sea swimming pool'. Very well furnished condo. Fully stocked kitchen including a few spices, sauces, etc. Well stocked bathrooms with NICE warm water. Eldon, the groundskeeper is very helpful and a thorough gentleman. Had the maid come in once to do our laundry (Wolfgang made a special request to have her come in on her day off....NICE!). Recommendations: Definitely rent a Golf Cart. Unless you are really open to a lot of biking, bike rides back/forth to town can be tiring. Walking back and forth along the beach for the same can be tough too. Suya Travels: Recommended by Wolfgang and is the place to go for tours. Very friendly family run business. Say hi to Ilse....she practically runs the place! Joes Restaurant: Ok....nothing special but convenient Maria's Vegetable stand: Wolfgang will take you there....Excellent fresh juice and worth the USD10 Ho- Chan Snorkeling: A MUST DO Blue Iguana: Very nice food (approx. $100 for 4) Caliente: Again....very good food ($875- $90 for 4) Wild Mango: Limited selection BUT what you get is awesome (approx. $100 for 4) Looking for good art/curios: Must visit the Art Gallery inside the Fido Restaurant courtyard A few warnings.....go armed for mosquitoes (especially in the rainy season). 'Off' (insect repellent should do). Also, take baby oil to protect yourself against sand-flies (no-seeums). You are bound to get bit by some. We used this generously and ended up with minimal bites. Wolfgang/Eldon.....thanks for the lovely stay!

Well… I just returned from a week in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize and stayed at Villa Casa Buena Vista about 2 .5 miles south of San Pedro. The villa, owned by Mr. Wolfgang Wind was everything it advertises to be and so much more. The villa is beautiful, very nicely furnished and has all the amenities one would want or need. Upon arrival, the villa was clean, and ready for us. The next morning, our host Wolfgang took us into to town to show us around and gave all kinds of great information on what the best local restaurants, markets and places to go (and avoid…) were. We even got to the local fish market early enough to get some fresh caught lobster tails and snapper to take back to the villa for dinner on the BBQ grill that night. The villa has everything, excellent wi-fi, 100+ channel satellite TV, full kitchen, and very nicely decorated. Eldon, the caretaker and Merta the maid took care of all of our needs and Wolfgang is a very gracious and wonderful host. The beach was excellent, and the shallow areas in front are great for swimming and snorkeling. Eldon even cracked open a fresh coconut from the beach for us to drink the coconut water from. There is a dive shop / tour operator only two properties down called “Suya Tours” that was excellent. Great service and we used them for four dives, a snorkel trip and a trip to the Mayan ruins at Lamanai. Their service was excellent. There is a couple of great places to eat and a local store (small, but has the essentials) within a short walk or golf cart ride. I highly recommend renting a golf cart, and Wolfgang was able to secure a discount for us through a local company. We met some of his neighbors next door and they were very nice to let us use the pool at their condo development one lot over. This was an excellent vacation, and my first time to Belize, and based on the wonderful experience at Villa Casa Buena Vista and the wonderful hospitality of Wolfgang, I will be going back there to stay again. I have traveled all over the Caribbean and do not use hotels, but always rent a villa or condo and this was one of the best experiences I have had.

Property owner was very responsive. He provided lots of good information ahead of time that helped us plan our trip. He also offered great help with orientation to the area after we arrived. The beachfront is fabulous! The "mini reef" in front of the property offers wonderful snorkeling with tons of colorful fish...right out the door! The property is very well maintained with a full-time friendly groundskeeper. There's a plethora of restaurants in all price ranges in San Pedro town, a long walk or short taxi/golf cart ride away. The front porch offers a beautiful place to have morning coffee and appreciate the wonder of this special spot. The only reason we didn't give an "Excellent" rating is the noisy window air conditioner which could make comfortable sleeping a bit of a challenge for some. We would highly recommend this house to anyone and would definitely stay there again ourselves on another trip.

We are just 24 hours home and are already planning our next stay. 2 weeks of the best relaxation we have ever taken. As others have stated if you are looking for a high end busy resort type stay, this is not for you. If you are looking for peace and quiet with a fantastic view and a gracious host and staff, THIS PLACE CANNOT BE BEAT! This was our first time to Belize and not sure of anything as far as travel or transportation or tours. Wolfgang made all the proper arrangements and we were not disappointed. His staff (Eldone & Merta) were kind and professional, taking care of any need we had. The Villa is spacious and lacked nothing. Ambergris Caye is paradise and Villa Casa Buena Vista is a big part of it. Wolf, Thanks again for a wonderful stay and send along our thoughts too Affie and Cookie. Warmest Regards; Richard & Leslee
