I agree with CHOOCHOO about Caribbean Villas, but I think he shortchanged Coconuts Hotel with the phrase "(but just rooms)".
I don't think he meant to as he has been at Coconuts in the past and enjoyed the free home-cooked breakfasts from 7am on with buns and breads, fresh fruit, fruit juices, cereals, fresh coffee and tea. I'm sure he could have enjoyed the use of their free bicycles to guests if he wished, and I know from his posts that he really enjoyed the great little beach bar run by Margie and Ada which is about 25 feet from the Caribbean Sea.
He could have enjoyed lying in one of the hammocks that are strung between posts on the white sand beach or just relaxed under the trees up near the hotel.
I just know he misses the free entertainment put on by the supply barge, which in my opinion, can be a real hoot when things start happening a la "Murphy's law".
In any case, he is dead on about the great management team of David and Karina. There is none better or friendlier.
Have met many honeymooners there on my stays and never heard a negative word from any of them.
Just my thoughts. Hope they help to give you a fuller picture.

OK, so I got in a hurry with the "only a room" wording...several times over the years we have certainly enjoyed all the amenities available at Coconuts, and everything you have mentioned is absolutely factual. However, even though their rooms are all very large by island standards, we are more comfortable with the kitchen, refrigerator, seperate bedroom, private veranda, etc. that we have at a nearby property.
Caribbean Villas also has several units that fit that criteria, and I've always felt that as a honeymoon hideaway it would be perfect.
Plus the always entertaining barge is quite visible from Will's dock as well as our veranda, which is probably closer than Coconuts. (By the way heard some very encouraging info about that at Christmas from a source not given to hyperbole. Might go to the back side sooner than anybody might think. But, as in so many things San Pedroean...we'll see about that.)
At any rate I'm covered...got friends stashed in both places the end of the month, 2 couples at Coconuts and two at CV.

Hi, I just finalized reservations for a couple who are getting married in Belize and she chose Caribbean Villas- it is so nice for a wedding site. They have several rooms that are quite reasonable along with suites. So, there is a bit of a variety to choose from. Nice grounds for the wedding.
