About this property

Steps from the Sea - Minutes to Secret Beach (1B)


Las Amapolas offers a spectacular view of the Belize Barrier Reef. Our beachfront casita is tucked among swaying coconuts palms on the sandy shores of Ambergris Caye. Once a part of a coconut grove, its now a peaceful tropical retreat just 30 minutes away from town on golf cart and a short ride to Secret Beach.

We invite you to relax and soak up the sun at Las Amapolas, where you can enjoy the beach views from your casita. For swimming, we recommend taking a trip to secret Beach for the best experience.

P.S.

You may occasionally notice sargassum on the shoreline, a natural occurrence caused by seasonal ocean currents abd seasonal shifting of currents and weather patterns.

Other things to note:

Power Outages: Power interruption can occasionally occur on Ambergris Caye. At Las Amapolas, we do our best to ensure you remain comfortable during these moments.

*Water remains available even when the power is off.

*Power is typically restored within a few hours by the Belize Electricity Limited, the island's electricity provider.

Life by the Sea:

"Being just steps from the sea, the salt air is part of everyday life here. While we carefully maintain the unit clean, some metal items show natural signs of coastal wear. This is common for true beachfront homes and part of their authentic charm."

The road to Las Amapolas can be BUMPY at some areas.

About the host

Hosted by Gach Guerrero

Host profile image
I was born and raised in San Pedro and proud to call this island home. As a true sampedrano, I love the food, the sea breeze, the smell of salt in the air, and the friendly faces that make this place special.

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 over a 100 years. It was a coconut grove in its early days. Coconut harvesting was the main industry of the island before fishing and tourism. The beach is beautiful and the Belize Barrier Reef is only a few laps from the shore. Crystal clear waters good for snorkeling and fishing. One of my brothers and I decided to build a casita to spend our free time and at the same time share it with tourists that are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy a peaceful vacation. It is a little piece of paradise on a sandy beach tucked among coconut trees. Naturally beautiful.

What makes this property unique

Las Amapolas is unique because its is out from town and still close enough to enjoy the charm of San Pedro Town. Its on one of the most beautiful areas of the island, Mata Grande, where sunrises are beautiful and just relaxing on one of the lounge chair or on a hammock feels like being in paradise. The sky is lit with stars at night and if you happen to be here during a full moon you will fall in love. The famous Secret Beach is only a fifteen minute ride away on golf cart. The property is still the way the Caribbean use to be - naturally beautiful.
