First, I want to say that this was one of our most memorable vacations as a family. The people of Ambergirs Caye are some of the happiest, friendliest I have ever met.
Ester, your concierge from Pelican Reef management was so helpful in all our bookings, recommending plane flights, scuba companies, sailing lessons, private chef..etc. We did book some things on our own as well. YOLO snorkeling and chill was a blast. We also used chefs for hire Belize for our arrival night dinner, natalist water taxi that took us from the airport direct to our dock where Ester was waiting to welcome us. ,
We were there for two weeks over Christmas and new years. The property was perfect for our grown family. The 4 adult kids used the upstairs as their place and we used the downstairs. We usually prepped meals downstairs while BBQing on the charcoal grill and brought everything upstairs to eat. It is two separate apts with an exterior stairwell in the front yard. The upstairs apt has a larger kitchen, eating table, living area and two queen bedrooms with 2 baths. A wonderful balcony and stairs to the rooftop where the views are out of this world. This allowed late night movie watching, beers etc without disturbing us older folks who were tired from the days adventures. The downstairs apt has a smaller kitchen with an eating island, living area and two bedrooms, one king and one double twin beds and two baths as well. The bottom apt has sliding glass doors to the incredible pool area and the yard.
The apts had everything we needed to cook and we are cooks!!! the supermarkets in town are wonderfully stocked with staples and stopping by the roadside fruit stands was so great, everything fresh and abundant.
It is a ride into town, 20 to 30 mins by golfcart, but an experience every time. There are great bars in the area (Stax was one of our favorites, also rooftop at Playa de sala). The grounds are kept beautifully with the caretaker raking, sweeping decks and patio areas, manicuring trees, and fogging (the mosquitos are a thing) for 2 to 3 hours each day.
The pool is kept clean with the pool people coming multiple times a week to check water, vacuum and clean.
We had the most incredible vacation and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pristine cove and Ester.
