Beachfront Home Events Celebrations Groups @ 8BR Private Beach, Palapa Pool Pier

The property has great potential but unfortunately needs better maintenance. There is construction debris on site, litter, overgrown, vegetation, and broken equipment (see photos). Mosquitos are in very high numbers. While this is partly out of their control- cleaning up debris and removing standing water would definitely help. There is a raccoon that lives on the property that goes up and poops all over the upper level every night. The grill was not clean when we arrived. The sargassum (seaweed) problem is huge- “beach” is covered in this and then decomposes to release a terrible odor. The beach is not a usable beach. There is no washer/dryer. You can pay 20 per load for washing. I would bring my own beach towels- you are given one per person on arrival and they will not replace them (you can pay 20 to wash them but have to turn them in and wait for them to clean them).The cook will make basic meals and bring them to the house (she does not cook onsite).House is large and comfortable, beds and sheets are nice. AC worked well in all rooms. Excursions run by Johnny were all great and really fun. Cora the property manager could be more timely in communications about excursions. I think it would be helpful to have a property binder with information on excursions and nearby restaurants. The caretaker Jorge works really hard but he can only do so much as he is only one person for a large property.

We hosted our wedding at Villa Mandevilla and it was absolute perfection. Cora was beyond helpful with helping arrange taxis, boat pick up, table/chair rentals for our event days, and the property was pristine! Overall, amazing trip, amazing property!

8 bedrooms, all beds were super comfy! kitchen was very well appointed with necessary dishware, cookware etc. home was modern, clean. grounds, pool and beach area very well kept

We had an amazing time as always in San Pedro. The house was perfect for our family of 15. Cora was amazing scheduling photographer & minister for vow renewal and was great at answering all questions! We had the chef cook 2 dinners for us which were delicious(if u have big eaters/20y/o boys I would order extra food. We used johnny for 3 different excursions, scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing- him and Victor went above and beyond. Would def stay next door at the new house next year. Make sure u pack plenty of sunscreen and bug spray. Also big shout out to Jorge who always took great care of the property and any repairs we needed.

Best week ever! The house was amazing, the pictures online are amazing but the house is even better in person! Easily accommodated our group of 17 & our wedding with 35 guests! The house was clean and the beach was cleared of sea grass daily. Pool was awesome! Some reviews on google mentioned ants we had no issue with bugs at all I think we saw maybe 3 small random bugs in the entire house the whole week we stayed there, I only mention due to other reviews which gave me pause before I stayed here just wanted to let anyone concerned about that know it’s totally a non issue! Cora & Johnny were awesome! I felt nervous before arrival on all the logistics of groceries, golf carts, excursions etc. but somehow they just worked it all out and everything was there when we needed it like magic, so impressed with them! Perfect example of them going above and beyond, there is construction next to the house and a sort of wall/wood planks separating it which I did not find a bother at all even with our wedding ceremony being held next to it but the morning of our wedding we awoke to workers covering the wall entirely with beautiful tropical greenery without us ever having said a word about it, turned out to be one of my favorite things from the day & something I didn’t even know I wanted. I cannot say enough about how amazing our entire stay was!

My family of 12 celebrated our 60th. Wedding Anniversary at Mandevilla House in Belize in August. The house was wonderful. Well planned, and laid out. We all had our separate rooms and plenty of bathrooms. There was never a conflict for space. The house manager was wonderful and took care of ALL of our needs. She scheduled all of our tours and we had the best guides ever. She also made arrangements for the cook who was also great and provided not only great food, but more than we could eat. The beach was cleaned everyday. The garbage was removed everyday. The house is 30 minutes, by golf cart from San Pedro, but provided a great place for the entire family to interact. Something that doesn’t happen often due to jobs and living in different locations. All together, I would give the Mandevilla 5 STARS *****

Our trip was simply amazing!! Cora and Johnny are the best. We have memories that will last a life time. Jorge was always around making sure the property looked nice for us. Cora organized our flight in and out, golf carts, fishing tours, sunset cruises, snorkeling and dinner reservations and was there for any questions we had. Johnny and his team took care of all the fishing, snorkeling, beach bbq. We will be back. We feel like they are part of our family and if any of them need a place to stay in the states we will gladly offer them a place to stay with open arms.

I’ll preface this with we only stayed a couple of days because of family issues but there are some things that need to be fixed. The biggest issue for us was the air conditioning. The air conditioner is way too small for the living area. It was hotter inside than outside. The master is also really hot as well as the other master on the top floor. We had an issue with ants too, particularly in the queen room upstairs. The container house also had some ants. Lastly there is a lack of furnishings on the rooftop bar. There was a small couch and a couple of chairs but not a table to eat up there or enough seating for 11 that was in our party. Being that we were only there two days that is all I can say about the house other than it is quite far from town. I have nothing but praise for Cora and Johnny. They are wonderful people. Cora took great care of us even after we left the house and Johnny Boy Tours is a top notch outfit. Victor even got my daughter in the water with the sharks! I would go back again and again with Cora and Johnny taking care of us. I highly recommend booking excursions with Johnny. You get private and personal attention. I just can’t say enough great things about them. All of that said. I wouldn’t rent the house again.

The house was great. We rented the main house and casita for 12 adults. The pool, the views, roof top bar area and beach were all perfect. The location was a bit of a drive into town but it's Island time so take it slow and enjoy the views on the drive.

This house is amazing, but the thing that makes this house really special are the caretakers, Cora and Johnny. Cora was available to help arrange anything we needed. Arranging tours, flights, golf cart rentals, a chef, etc. Johnny is an excellent dive instructor, fishing guide. He’ll even pick you up on the boat at the house. No need to drive into town to get on a boat. And Jorge the groundskeeper kept the place looking/functioning great every day. The house is large, clean, well appointed, has a nice pool, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, etc. The new rooftop deck is beautiful and was a great location for a nice dinner. Excellent location to watch the sun rise or set. I can’t say enough good things about our experience.
