We did much research on where to stay and were very happy with our choice. Loved the close proximity to town and made our week so much easier being close to town. A leisurely 15 minute walk along the beach and you were in the heart of life in San Pedro. We stayed in room 3 which gave us some room to move about but wasn't overly large. Rooms were kept clean by the daily maid service. Bedroom was secluded and led to a very ample sized bathroom. Two downsides....the refrigerator made alot of noise and the air conditioner was a bit noisy but nothing that ear plugs couldn't take care of.
The grounds of the resort were nice but not spectacular. Beach was nice but not your type of pristine white sand beach that you would find throughout the Caribbean. It was raked daily to clear it of the seagrass. Pool was kept very clean. They have hot tubs that I didn't venture into but heard people talking that they were too hot. I didn't see them being used often.
The Catamaran Beach Bar is a perfect compliment to the resort. It was a common gathering place for resort guests and people just walking by. They served up a yummy lunch as well as a good dinner. Pricing was inline with anywhere else on the island. I was a bit disappointed in the breakfast that I ordered the last morning we were there.
One of the best things about Caribbean Villas were the staff. Luis and Tony in the Catamaran Bar were very friendly and very easy to strike up a conversation with. Don't know the 2 girls names that take care of the food at the bar but they were also very friendly. Anyone I dealt with at the front desk (Gladys and Tony (I think)) were very friendly and helpful with any of our needs to making dinner reservations at Aji Restaurant and just helping with any questions that we had.
Overall I loved the place. It is not your lay on the beach, show up for dinner and be waited on hand and foot type of place but rather a smaller mostly do it your self type of place. If that is what you are looking for and you are going to Ambergris Caye then I definately would stay here.
