Fodor's Expert Review La Perla del Caribe
5½ miles (9 km) north of bridge, San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize
Expansive villas command the beachfront, all named after precious jewels like Opal and Emerald---and they really do dazzle. The design is inspired by Mexican, Moroccan, and Maya traditions, evident in the arches, alcoves, rugs, and sensuous tones of rose and mango. Hand-hewn furniture and deluxe kitchens enhance the spaces. The villas range from two to five bedrooms; with a group, they can be more affordable than a hotel. Plus, you’ll still enjoy concierge service and a shared pool. A few restaurants are within walking distance or, more comfortably, golf-cart distance.
PROS
- Bold and textured villas with every amenity
- The exotic sensibility that condos lack
- Peaceful setting
CONS
- Somewhat remote
- No on-site restaurant
- Expensive unless divided in a group
