We are making our first visit to Belize and the Caribbean in March. Availability for a 2 BR. has been tough. We have narrowed it down to the 2 above. Ocean view out the window is important. (just in case we are ever inside) Would appreciate any feedback anyone might have. thanks.

Both are very nice and seem unique to themselves. Caribbean Villas is small & quiet with lots of amenities and a great long-term staff focused on customer satisfaction. It is only 10 suites/rooms on over 2 acres of land with bird sanctuary and lots of wildlife. All suites/rooms are beachfront with ocean view. They have over 300 feet of beachfront, 300+ foot pier with swimming & snorkeling area, free bikes, hammocks, grills, hot tubs. Caribbean Villas does not accept commissions from tour guides or tour companies, so you get objective recommendations and bookings; they have an association with Amigos del Mar for diving. CV staff pick you up at the San Pedro airport in a golf cart and take you on a town tour on the way to the Villas. CV is south of town in a quiet area, only 15-ish minute walk to town on the beach. The owners live on the property and are involved in day to day operations. I have never stayed at Paradise Villas so I can't give details for there - they do have pretty grounds. Happy visit to the island!

Paradise Villas is right on the north edge of town about a 5-minute walk from all the restaurants shops and nightlife. We have both Oceanfront and Poolside 2 bedroom villas with Central Air Cable TV full kitchens and Daily maid service. The grounds and the pool are fantastic; we also supply grills as well as Charcoal for those who want to BBQ the days catch. Our tour desk and staff will see to your every need. We also have a dock for swimming or just relaxing.

Which ever you choose I am sure that you will have a wonderful Stay. You can contact our U.S. office if you need info on Discounted International Air and to make reservations. Either way these are both great properties and we look forward to sharing our Island Paradise with you.

Of the two mentioned I go with CV. Very peacefull, private, and lots of land, but no pool.
Keep checking the lodging section though...
BBeach, BBay, and Carib Island, are VERY nice as well with pools, and two have rest/bar on site.
I'm a bit prejudiced though...
I'd take Caribe.
