Las Amapolas - Steps from the Sea - Minutes to Secret Beach - 1B Upper Unit

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 on golf cart and a short ride to Secret Beach.

We invite you to relax and soak up the sun at Las Amapolas, where you can enjoy the beach views from your casita. For swimming, we recommend taking a trip to Secret Beach for the best experience.

P.S.

You may occasionally notice sargassum on the shoreline, a natural occurrence caused by seasonal ocean currents and seasonal shifting of currents and weather patterns.

Other things to note:

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 when the power is off.

*Power is typically restored within a few hours by the 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 the unit clean, some metal items show natural signs of coastal wear. This is common for true beachfront homes and part of their authentic charm."

The road to Las Amapolas can be BUMPY at some areas.

Helpful island info & friendly guidance:

Trash Disposal
A blue barrel is located in the backyard for trash disposal if needed.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitos activity is seasonal and more common after rain. Peak times known has "Mosquito Happy Hour" are usually around 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Your room includes mosquito coils and citronella for your comfort.

Tour & Rentals

Palm Supermarket is about 12-minute drive south on the main road. Open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and carries most essentials.

Restaurants & Bars

* Hidden Treasures - 2 minute walk south along the beach
* Mambo Restaurant (Matachica Resort) - 3 minute walk north along the beach

About a 15-minute drive brings you to one of the island's most beautiful beach-sargassum-free year round.
The water is knee-deep and crystal clear.
* Quieter atmosphere: Mystical (south end)
* Beach Club vibe: Harvest Cafe Beach Club (day-use fee applies)
* Lively bars line the main strip for those seeking music and fun.

The place and host were great. The location currently was a bit far from all our activities. The road to the location was in far worse shape than last year. Therefore, we moved closer to town after two days and could not recover any costs.

This place is so amazing , remote , quiet , snorkelling off the pier and a private boat tour available from the dock. This unit has a large sized fridge and newly installed daybed on the balcony . If you are planning to cook. Please note that The kitchenette is small and too only have one small sized burner . It was perfect for me as they thoughtfully had enough dishes , cutlery and utensils to use . But it would be hard to have a full size meal as there is limited space but can be doable. There are some extra containers , lots of towels , bed was comfortable and the management company and the owners were so pleasant to deal with. It is honestly such a nice secured and private haven. Please note that is is far from town and you should get some basics to tie you over and a couple restaurants near by

We had a lovely 2-week stay at Las Amapolas. The room and property was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. It was very peaceful. Gach is a very attentive host - he was very welcoming and informative. Our room had everything we needed for our stay. We loved waking up to beautiful Caribbean sunrises! We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

Gach was excellent! We were able to get an earlier flight into San Pedro and he was able to accommodate us by meeting us with our golf cart 3 hours early. Thanks to "ROCKS golf carts" for the reliable cart, directions and lunch suggestions. Also, thanks to Thomas and Jules for an excellent fishing/snorkling trip, which was the highlight of our trip.

Overall a great stay with a couple issues. Kitchenette could use a better hotplate. There also is no television in the room. WiFi was good, area is quiet but entrance from the street could be improved. Had a great time though!! We will be back!!

Great stop over spot

We only stayed here for two nights, and the place was clean, bed comfortable and the view of the beach was wonderful. Having the restaurant Hidden Jewel was so convenient, we just walked down the beach for a few minutes. The bartender and the waiter were great and the food was fabulous. We even had a guy come up the beach the first morning on his bike selling breakfast burritos and they were so good. We called him Burrito Boy. Unfortunately, he did not show up the next day. The dock out front was great. We booked a fishing trip with Thomas and had the time of our life. I caught my biggest fish ever, lots of other fish lost some big groupers and had a wonderful bbq on the beach at lunch time. Wonderful place to stay.

Wonderful time in Belize

This place was a perfect mix being far enough out of town to feel private, secluded, and quiet but being close enough to town to be convenient for groceries, meals out, and going on excursions. The snorkeling just off our beach was as good as any and it was easy to book a fishing trip, dive trips and snorkeling with a couple of companies, and to drive over to Secret Beach. The apartment has a very comfy bed, an excellent shower, and a lovely and comfortable shaded balcony. We would book here again.
