Seaside Serenity on Ambergris Caye - (1A)

Welcome! Las Amapolas offers a spectacular view of the Belize Barrier Reef. Our beachfront casita is tucked among swaying coconuts palms on the sandy shores of Ambergris Caye. Once a part of a coconut grove, its now a peaceful tropical retreat just 30 minutes away from town by golf cart and a short ride to Secret Beach. You may occasionally notice sargassum on the shoreline, a natural occurrence caused by seasonal ocean currents and weather patterns. We have two units available: 1A and 1B. The space Our casita (350 sq. ft.) features a private balcony, a king-size bed, and beach chic furnishings - a perfect blend of simplicity, nature, and comfort. Naturally beautiful and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. Our casita also has a small kitchenette where guests can refrigerate and heat up food. We are proud to be Gold Standard Certified by the Belize Tourism Board, ensuring our guests enjoy a safe and comfortable stay that meets national hospitality standards. Guest access Guests enjoy direct access to the beautiful white - sand beach just a few steps away from your casita. Other things to note Greetings! Before booking, please read about sargassum season in Belize (typically from March to August, with the peak between mid - June and the end of August). While Ambergris Caye does experience some sargassum, our area at Las Amapolas is generally mild compared to other parts of the island. At times, it may carry an unpleasant odor, but this is temporary and natural. Fortunately, we're blessed to have Secret Beach nearby - just a 15 minute golf cart ride away. It's one of the island's most beautiful beaches, known for being sargassum free. Located on the west side of the island, it offers calm, crystal - clear waters perfect for swimming, several beach bars, and a lively, fun atmosphere. We invite you to relax and soak up the sun at Las Amapolas, where you can enjoy the beach views right from your casita. For swimming, we recommend taking a trip to Secret Beach for the best experience. Power Outages: Power interruption can occasionally occur on Ambergris Caye. At Las Amapolas, we do our best to ensure you remain comfortable during these moments. *Water remains available even if the power goes off. *Power is typically restored within a few hours by Belize Electricity Limited, the island's electricity provider. Life by the sea: “Being just steps from the sea, the salt air is part of everyday life here. While we carefully maintain and clean the unit, some metal items may show natural signs of coastal wear. This is common for true beachfront homes and part of their authentic charm.” Helpful island info & friendly guidance) Trash Disposal A blue barrel is located in the backyard for trash disposal if needed.
