As a family group of 10 ages 19-60- the Perla villa was perfect - ample common areas for cooking, dining and hanging out. Felix, the property manager, and his grounds staff were very, very helpful and attentive. Felix answered lots of questions via email in advance of the trip and booked golf cart (Island Adventures); snorkeling, boating (Blue Water) and SCUBA (Belize Daze) and helped us handle payments as everyone wanted cash and we needed to use credit cards. The villa was well appointed, clean and the grounds are immaculate. The first night we went out, we did not lock the doors and the security guard let us know that he kept a keen eye on the unit and encouraged us to lock up thereafter. Notwithstanding, the location felt safe and we had no problems at all in that area. An earthquake on an island off of Honduras caused slight tremors at 9pm and then a tsunami warning was issued. Felix, immediately answered my text and sent the watchman to discuss the situation with us. Frankly, it was the first time this had happened on the island so there were no protocols. When the warning was lifted at 11.30pm, he had the watchman come to tell us. This was a huge help and he and the staff get 5+ gold stars. A few things to know about the property: the water off the beach is shallow for nearly a mile to the reef. It is not a bathing location in the traditional sense; town is 25 min by golf cart -1/3 of the ride is on hard packed sand with lots of potholes. If you want to go anywhere beyond the few dining options that are walkable via the beach, you need a golf cart. There is a small about a mile away and they deliver. The unit had no supplies and given the high prices and need to go to town to buy items, we packed a lot of essentials. We brought powdered drink mix/staples/spices/side dishes so that we only needed to buy the main course. There was dish soap but no other cleaning or pantry items. The setting is small, intimate and private. Thanks Felix!!
