We loved the house. It is beautiful and the pool is great . The chef cooked delicious meals and Stephenie’s yoga classes and sound bath were wonderful. One thing to note - We were struggling with the mosquitoes even during the day so come prepared .

I cannot recommend this home highly enough. The communication was outstanding from start to finish, prompt, thoughtful, and thorough. The recommendations were spot-on and everything was so seamlessly organized that we never had to worry about a single detail. The home itself is absolutely wonderful, beautiful, comfortable, and everything we could have asked for. The chefs Nicholas and Nancy were amazing. Their warmth, kindness, and generosity made us feel completely at home. The meals they prepared were incredible and their presence made our stay feel truly special. I could not say enough kind words about them, they are one of a kind. We will absolutely be back.

Tom was very helpful in getting us checked in, suggestions of places to go and do. We hired the chef for most of our stay and the food was amazing. The house was clean and beautiful. If we come back to Belize we will definitely stay here again.

We loved our family Christmas vacation at Tom and Stephanie’s and highly recommend their beautiful home. The space was perfect for our family of 6. Tom was ALWAYS responsive before and during our trip. He gave us wonderful recommendations and set us up with quality staff to make the most of our trip. Just to name a few he gave us a recommendation for travel from the airport, adventures and even golf cart rentals. He also set us up with a quality chef who made exquisite meals for us each day. Nelson and his team made the best food for us! Their boat and captain Dane were top notch. Dane knows the islands and was a great guide for our water adventures. The housekeeper Doris was a dream! She did our laundry and kept the house neat and clean throughout our week. We loved the rooftop area in the evenings and enjoyed the sunshine by the pool mid afternoon and our balconies were an added bonus too. I promise - You will love your stay at Casa B’alam! Our family certainly did!

I highly recommend booking this location! The home was wonderful as well as the area. Very clean, well stocked, and exactly like the pictures. Besides the home being wonderful, Tom & Stephanie were so very helpful with many recommendations. Lastly, the boat day was amazing I definitely recommend booking at least one!
