Wonderful stay at Nellie’s! Walkable to everything, cute little pool, efficient check-in. There were some country-wide blackouts and Nellie ran us some batteries for a flashlight which was very nice of her. The cleaners came and cleaned the place top to bottom one day which was a wonderful perk. Thanks Nellie!

We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Airbnb. 30 mins from town, so just be aware of the drive!

My wife and I stayed at this property for 3 nights in June '26 and a fantastic stay. Check-in was smooth and the property is in a great location, just a few minutes past the main road heading to Secret Beach and a pretty easy 25-30min ride to the center of town. The unit itself was very comfortable and everything we needed for a short stay. We also booked a snorkeling excursion with Captain Thomas, who was recommended by Nellie as his boat is docked at the property. We had an incredible time on the excursion and would highly recommend booking with him if you're looking for snorkeling/fishing/etc. Overall, we had an amazing time here and would 1000% return. Only note is we did lose power briefly a few times (which is common to San Pedro), so not specific to this property but would recommend bringing mobile power banks on your trip to charge phones, etc.
Host Response
Thank you Julien for taking the time to leave a great review. We are happy to hear you had an excellent stay and will return. You are welcome back anytime!

Excellent, 3 months ago
We loved our stay at paradise villas!! The location is great and walking distance to everything we needed (grocery stores, restaurants, and ferry terminal). The beach is right outside the villas with a dock to swim and there is a pool at the center of the property. Lots of great restaurants nearby as well. Staff were super helpful and there was everything we needed to prepare meals. The only things are 1) the table is a bit small and close to the wall, it only fits two people and because it is secured in place one person is very close to the wall. 2) the shower was slightly low pressure and was difficult to rinse hair. Overall though we had a great experience; our villa was very clean, rooms were comfortable, wifi worked great, and we were central to all of our activities. The complimentary pick from the airport and drop off at the ferry were very much appreciated!

Good place to stay. You are in among the bustle of San Pedro, but just set back enough to avoid the noise. Pool is good and access to waterfront. Host was very helpful and sorted out golf carts for us straight away. There was included pick up and drop off to the airport and very responsive in all messaging.

Nellie's place was a wonderful spot for our family of four including two kids age 11 and 14. We enjoyed the pool and swimming at the end of the pier in front of the property. We loved how close the property was to restaurants and shopping. The host was wonderful! Great communication, we asked for help during our stay and Nellie didn't hesitate to accommodate our needs. We appreciated the complimentary pickup from the ferry. We highly recommend this location to others.

We absolutely loved staying at Paradise Villas! Nellie was so kind, helpful & responsive. The property is the perfect location if you like to be near the action - lots of bars, restaurants & small businesses. For the ocean adventurers, there’s a dock which makes for easy pick-ups. The apartment is clean, cute & has everything you might need for an easy stay. I’d highly recommend Paradise Villas and would absolutely stay there again!

Nellie was very accomodating and a fantastic communicator for my friends and I. She arranged pickups and drop-offs proactively to ensure we had easy transit to and from the AirBnB. The location itself is great - we were located right along the beach, there is a pool surrounded by palm trees that we enjoyed. We were also close to town, making it easy to walk to restaurants. She arranged a golf kart for us to use to travel to the dive shop where my friends and I were diving from for 3 days during our visit. Overall, I highly recommend using Nellie and her properties at Paradise Villas!

Thank you Justin, we hope to be able to host you at some other time. You are always welcome back!

Very nice place with beautiful ocean views. Lots of sargassum on the beach during the end of March but we knew to expect that in advance. Expect a bumpy ride in if you rent a golf cart (best way to get around here). Overall, I would recommend staying here

Heidi

We had four people in an upstairs 2 bedroom unit. The property is nice and private, you can't hear the busy street as soon as you step under the arch, very peaceful. The pool looked nice, but we didn't really use it. The location is the best part, very close to many things to do and eat as well as 2 small grocery stores. The price was the best for a 2 bedroom on the beach by far. Nellie was extremely friendly to deal with over messages, she had a taxi pick us up from the airport and drop us off, which was very nice and convenient.
Host Response
Thank you Heidi! We are happy you had an enjoyable stay. You are welcome anytime.
Lani
Excellent, 7 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise Villas. We were in unit 15B which was a second floor, 2 bedroom street side unit. The AC worked splendidly and as we kept the windows closed, we found the unit quiet enough regardless of its proximity to the bustling street below. It had comfortable beds and futon couch which could accommodate an additional 2 people. This unit would probably work best with no more than 4 however, as there was limited seating and dining amenities. There seem to be plentiful hot water and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of the property which was very quiet and peaceful with coconut palms, manicured grounds, ample parking and beachfront access. Although our unit did not boast a sea view or private outdoor space, there are several units that do. It was only a short walk via the beach to the most bustling area of San Pedro town however there were several conveniently located markets and restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay here again.
Host Response
Lani, thank you very much for your review and feedback. Was a pleasure having you. We hope to see you again sometime!

Really enjoyed nellie’s casita! The room is actually bigger than pictured and the balcony really adds to the space. Very clean upon arrival and a broom was provided for sand that gets tracked into the property Didn’t see any bugs in the room itself which was great! there are a lot of lizards outside at night but as expected with a tropical location. The air bnb is about 30 mins away from the town and a lot closer( about 20-15 mins) to secret beach which was super convenient the ride into town isn’t bad at all and really gives you a chance to see the island. Both host are amazing and responsive they were able to help with a few issues we had like locking ourselves out, and switch arrival time really quickly and they truly want you to enjoy your trip. Will definitely be booking again, perfect for couples and my girlfriend really enjoyed her birthday here. ( they would definitely benefit from getting a tv in the room but not a complaint because the property itself is very entertaining)

Great location, lovely courtyard and very helpful staff! We really enjoyed our stay. I only took off a star because there were not nearly enough chairs at the pool (they were always taken or "held" by people's towels) and there were a couple amenities that were missing. Nothing major though, the place was stocked with essentials and they brought fresh towels every other day! Many restaurants right nearby and it was about a 5-10 minute walk into the heart of town. We would come back if we visited San Pedro again!
Host Response
Thank you Alexis, we will definitely get some more chairs for everyone to enjoy. You are welcome back anytime!
Linda

Great location in the heart of town next to grocery stores and restaurants. Condo in Paradise Villas with a dock good pickup point for snorkeling pick up and has a pool. Provides laundry service (closed Sun) and golf cart rental reservation pick up and drop off at condo for additional fees (need to specify if paying with credit card for more fees). Just make sure to make communicate clearly reservations and payment amounts up front. Parking is on available on site for golf cart rental. There is no self service laundry in Belize. Complimentary airport pick up and drop off is a plus. Staff is very quick to respond and assist with anything. Condo is upstairs (no elevators) and fairly quiet at night but can hear neighbors downstairs clearly in daytime and right next to front gate/street. In gated community but gates are not locked. Beach towel was provided. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely wonderful stay! We rented both the upstairs and downstairs units for our group, and everything was spotless, beautifully appointed, and genuinely comfortable – the beds were a dream after long days on the water. The pool area quickly became our favorite spot; it’s so peaceful and private, perfect for curling up with a book and completely unwinding. The location couldn’t be better – truly walkable to grocery stores, fantastic restaurants, lively dock bars, and some of the best local eateries. We took the boat out three different days for snorkeling, exploring nearby cays, and fishing, and coming “home” to this relaxing oasis each evening made the trip even more special. We’re already looking forward to making this our go-to spot for years to come. If you’re headed to the area, book this place – you won’t be disappointed! Highly, highly recommend!

This is our 2nd time staying in this complex, and we wouldn't look to stay anywhere else. condo is comfortable, AC is cold, the grounds and pool is awesome. The biggest selling point is the location! Right on the edge of downtown, you can walk to all the restaurants if you wanted to. There are 3 docks right outside for swimming. One of them has a great bar / restaurant - the Palapa, highly recommended. Also, walk towards the downtown on the beach, and find several excellent spots to sit down, grab a belikin and some ceviche!

IRecently, my girlfriend and I stayed at Nellie’s place, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is exceptionally beautiful, offering direct access to the beach upon departure. While we were unable to utilize the specific beach due to the presence of sargassum, this is not an unforeseen circumstance. Within a short distance of the property, there is a highly recommended restaurant called “Tropical Escape,” situated approximately 15 steps away on the beach. Additionally, the property is conveniently located near the popular “secret beach” accessible via golf cart. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we would certainly recommend booking at Nellie’s location again.

We had a great stay in San Pedro, this AirBNB was located in the middle of the city near all local attractions. We enjoyed the complimentary transportation to and from the water taxi! The one thing I wish we could’ve changed was the amount of mosquitoes we encountered during our stay in the villa. I feel like every time we killed one , here came another three. I’m not sure where they were coming from but we weren’t too happy about that because we definitely woke up with a few bites. Aside from this , the trip was great! I’d recommend visiting this villa as it is in a great location! ❤️
Host Response
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us in San Pedro! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the central location and the complimentary transportation. We love making our guests' arrivals and departures as smooth as possible. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the mosquitoes during your stay. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we’re actively working on additional measures to better control them, especially during the warmer months. We’re so glad the rest of your trip was enjoyable, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We'd love to host you again in the future- hopefully with far fewer uninvited guests next time! ❤️

By far one of the best vacations I have taken with my family of 5. The private pools , amazing AC, access to a private dock made this stay epic. Her location is right in the middle of everything you want! Very blessed to have taken my family to San Pedro and more thankful for Nellie’s great team. Her team made sure my family had everything we needed. Her assistance with Laundry, housekeeping and transportation made being on the island so easy! When we come back to San Pedro this is where we will stay!

Located a short walk to tropical escape restaurant, which had excellent food and you are able to use their pool as this villa does not have its own pool. We picked this location because it was in the beach and is 20 minutes from secret beach. I was disappointed that there was a seaweed issue going on so we could not use the beach right at the property. But when the beach is swimmable the property is a perfect location. It is also about 15-20 minutes to The Truck Stop a popular spot for food and entertainment. And about the same distance to a handful of other nice restaurants. Downtown is about 35 to 40 minutes. If you plan to cook, bring your own spices.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and helpful tips for future guests! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the nearby Tropical Escape restaurant and appreciated the access to their pool, especially since our villa does not have one onsite. We agree that the beachfront location and proximity to Secret Beach, The Truck Stop, and several other great dining spots makes this a convenient and scenic place to stay. We’re truly sorry about the seaweed during your visit—it can be unpredictable at times. When the water is clear, the beachfront experience is truly one of the highlights. We hope to welcome you again under sunnier beach conditions!

This is our second time staying at Nellies, and she was wonderful as always. Easy to communicate with, assisted with golf cart rental and transportation to and from the Water Taxi. The location is perfect; it really doesn't get much better!
Host Response
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to have welcomed you back for a second stay — it truly means a lot. I'm so glad to hear everything went smoothly with the golf cart rental and transportation, and that you enjoyed the location once again. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to your next visit!

We had the best time at Los Amapolas for our honeymoon. It was fun riding around in the golf cart and seeing the iguanas. Every restaurant on secret beach had great food, drinks and crystal clear water. I will definitely try to come back.

This is the upstairs unit- the main bedroom has a filtered view of the water. The back bedroom is connected to the bathroom. The kitchenette had everything we needed to cook breakfast. There is a drip coffee maker if you want to bring your own ground coffee. This place is a half block away from the K Mart (a small grocery store) with everything you could need- very convenient. I appreciated that Nelly provided transport to and from the water taxi. We really didn’t feel the need to rent a golf cart. The grounds of the complex are pretty, with lush vegetation. There are some lounge chairs in the shade facing the beach. Nelly provided plenty of beach towels. I’d recommend the place to friends
Host Response

It’s great to know the location and amenities worked well for you, and that the nearby grocery store came in handy. I'm especially happy to hear you felt at ease without needing a golf cart and were able to enjoy the beautiful grounds and beach area. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I truly appreciate your recommendation. You’re always welcome back anytime!

Nellie and her staff were amazing to work with, they picked us up from the airport and helped us get to our airbnb. The airbnb itself was right on the beach, just a heads up that depending on the time of year you go, you may not be able to swim due to seaweed build up across that aide of the shore. Aside from that, we were very comfy in our stay, AC worked very well and our room was stocked with everything we could possibly need!
Host Response

Nellie’s place was perfect for our stay in San Pedro. Very central yet completely quiet and safe. Nice pool, direct access to the beach, dock and a great bar over the water. Hard to think of a better place to stay in SP.

I wanted a nice, tranquil trip to unwind & relax. This home is so cute & the area is very quiet! All neighbors were very respectful! I initially got lost, but the host(s) were in constant communication with me & made me feel safe! I stepped into the backyard & laid in the sun for hours without a care in the world the whole time I was there! Great location, about 20/25 minutes away from certain clubs, if you’re into nightlife & a nice 15/20 drive to Secret Beach. 10/10!

Our stay at Las Amapolas was great. Everything was just as described, and it was beautiful. Nellie and everyone else we were in contact with were very kind and quick to respond. The home is in a quiet and relaxed part of the island and made for a great place to unwind for the week. Just be aware of the time of year you book due to sargassum on the beach!

It was a pleasure having you with us. We hope to see you soon!

The unit is smaller than anticipated and tight with only two people. The unit was clean when we arrived. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were flat and had lost their head and neck support. The worse part is the unmaintained beach. The seagrass smelled horrible and was piled up. My wife is a property manager for apartments and she said management needs to take better care of the beach and the property so that visitors have a positive experience. There were beer bottles and plastic soda bottles all over the beach and you couldn’t open the sliding glass doors in the unit without the disgusting smell of seagrass taking over.
Host Response
Greetings! Thank you for letting us know about the pillows. We will look into it. Concerning the comment on the beach its exactly as stated on the description on the property. At certain time of the year due to the movement of the sea currents the island gets it share of sargassum that invades Southern Mexico and the Caribbean. But as also stated the beach in front of the casita is clean but the shoreline has sargassum. Sargassum free months is between is mostly between September and February.

Las Amapolas was perfect for me. We had a larger family group in the house next door but I needed a bit more private space and it offered that. Nellie made a slightly abnormal check in easy to deal with and worked around my schedule. The unit was clean, provided exactly what I needed for my stay, all in a beautiful setting. Would absolutely recommend!

Thank you for liking our place and your nice review. Hope to host you again on your next visit to our island.

Our stay at Paradise Villa was very nice. The location was very good. Close to town and the ocean side of the island. Despite being in the middle of a busy area, it felt very private and quiet within the grounds of Paradise Villas. We felt very safe during our entire stay and throughout the island. Several quality restaurants are within walking distance. The welcome book contained recommendations for around 20 restaurants. The unit itself was just as described by the listing. The level of communication and their responsiveness was probably the best we ever experienced. Nellie and Jackie were simply outstanding. If we return to Belize, we would return to Paradise Villas.
