I just spent 7 days in Belize with my wife and 2 teenage boys. The first three days were spent in the jungle at Caves Branch (Incredible place!) and the final 4 days here at Colin's fantastic condo! The condo first of all is exactly what you see in the pictures, yes that is the view from the patio! The place was clean, everything was new, it had all the comforts of home and more! The daily maid service with Free laundry (I did provide a nice tip though) was a huge bonus. The swim up bar was great with really good bar food (shrimp tacos, nachos, chili cheese fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, etc.) and great service! The ladies at the front desk were awesome, they made reservations for dinner for us, arranged for our golf cart, snorkeling trips (the boat picked us up at the dock) and just took care of every little requirement we had. So the condo was excellent, the staff was excellent, the swim up bar....well who does not love a swim up bar and then finally the location was perfect as well. San Pedro is a fun and interesting little village but you really do not want to stay in the middle of it. The Grand Caribe is about a 10 minute golf cart ride so you are close enough to do dinner or buy groceries in town but far enough away to avoid it as well. If you had no desire to go into town then that is not an issue since there are quite a few bars and local restaurants providing over the water cocktails (Palapa Bar - cool place!) or dinner with your feet in the sand within walking distance. I have nothing but positives to say about the Grand Caribe and I cannot forget Colin, the owner who was very patient with my 50 emails prior to booking the unit answering all my questions and concerns! Colin thanks a ton my family and myself really enjoyed staying in your place! I do believe that your unit is the best in the whole complex as when you are looking out the window or sitting on the patio all you see are palm trees and the beautiful ocean!
