Tropisk hus med privat pool (ikke-delt)

The accommodations were fine, nice bed and the place was clean with everything needed, even a couple small lizard visitors. Our ride didn't show up as promised at the airport, but we found our way and everything is close so no problem to walk. From past reviews we felt we had to lock up all the time which we did. No problems, but it was hard to feel completely at home when you are worried about security. The recommendation of skin so soft to protect against no see ums worked well but you cant forget to apply it (which we did at some point and itched a lot because of it). Caye Caulker is also very nice, but quite a lot of garbage and sea grass along the beaches which takes away from the tropical paradise feel. The snorkeling was fantastic. I have pointed out a couple minor issues so there are no surprises for others, but overall, it was a pretty great!

We enjoyed the privacy and quiet of Villa Gemma most of all. Morning and afternoon dips in the pool were so refreshing. Alfonzo cleaned the pool daily. It was fun watching and listening to birds in the surrounding trees. Took Hardly any time to bikeride into town to eat, shop, people watch, hang out for a sunset. House temp was fine with fans for our March trip. No-see-ums weren’t a prob with skin-so-soft. The stairs inside the house are very steep and small but the outside steps could be used to the upstairs if needed. Wishlist: comfortable chairs downstairs, toilet on first floor. All in all, though, i would choose Villa Gemma again. No safety concerns at all. Just made a point of locking up when we left and using the lockbox for phones, passports, etc

Property was clean... Got broken in on our second night, stole Credit Cards and Cell phone. It kind off put a damper on the rest of our vacation. There are wooden shutters for the Windows, that we hadn't used. After the break in, we used them of course, but that made the villa very hot, so with only 2 fans in the bedroom, it made sleeping very difficult. It needs AC in the bedroom. Also the lighting outside was not sufficient and bright enough. Michael and the staff were wonderful, no complains there.

Villa Gemma is a fantastic spot on beautiful Caye Caulker. The private pool and little kitchen are everything you need. We recommend getting the bikes, much better than walking. You can't go wrong!

Okay, today is my first review. I do this with reluctance because we would love to keep this piece of paradise to ourselves. Yvonne provided us with helpful information from how to get to Caye Caulker to what to expect upon arrival. We were surprised to find a golf cart taxi arranged to transport us to Villa Gemma. The surprises continued with the amazingly cheerful, helpful and attentive property manager Michael Joseph and his sister CeCe. The property was private, tucked within lush tropical vegetation and had a beautifully refreshing pool. On the quiet side of the island, but easy bike or walking distance to "downtown", Villa Gemma was indeed a tropical paradise. The upstairs bedroom (with steep narrow stairs inside or conventional stairs outside) had a comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. The hammocks on the upstairs balcony were AMAZING. Despite no AC, the open windows, cross breezes and fans provided a very comfortable night's sleep. We came to Belize for diving and Belize Diving Services delivered above expectations. These guys are not only professional, but truly enjoy what they do. Some of our favorite restaurants included Terry's grill, Belizean Flava, Syd's, Meldy's and Il Pelicano. If you're looking for relaxation - this is the place!
