I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Nirvana in San Pedro Belize. The trip began dreamily by being picked up at the airport by boat. We sped across the sparkling ocean to Nirvana. The house was a optically pleasing, a beautiful Caribbean blue and inside was very nice. All of the amenities were there, a coffee maker, microwave, fridge, oven, stove, grill, blender and more. A washer was present and a dryer was installed during my stay. I really enjoyed the big Jacuzzi bath tub after spending afternoons snorkeling reefs with Coral Divers which I also highly recommend. I layed on the hammock on the porch and contemplated never going home and making a life in lovely San Pedro. I will be back to Nirvana for sure! Much more private than a resort. 5 stars from me.

We had a great time staying at this cute beach house, enjoyed sitting on the veranda and looking out onto the water. Every morning a bicycling vendor came by with yummy breakfast burritos and Tamales, a fun unexpected feature! If you're looking for a place that makes you feel like you're part of the local life, this is it - the dock for swimming or to take the water taxi to town is close by, and so is a cute little grocery store ( Mata Grande) and a great beach bar ( Rojo Lounge). A traveling massage therapist ( Carmen) came by one day and several of us used her services, and we were all charmed by Esvin, the enterprising young Jewelry designer on a bicycle.We chose to travel on foot or by boat, but this house can easily be reached by golf cart as well.
The owner always responded right away when I had a question, and Sam the caretaker did a wonderful job making sure we had everything we needed and more.
The house itself is nicely maintained and the beds are comfortable, there could be a few more towels and glassware. Loved the hammock and the 3rd floor sundeck.
A great time was had by all!

Nirvana A place in the Sun

My family and I chose Nirvana for our holiday season vacation in a warm place. We were not disappointed by our choice of Ambergris Caye as the venue for our break from the usual holiday bustle back home. The spacious and comfortable home located a couple of miles along the beach from San Pedro proved a wonderful locale to enjoy much of what makes Ambergris a place to visit. We had sun and pleasant temperture every day. The home's caretaker checked in on us almost daily to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed to enjoy our stay. His compatriot, a local dive master, was on the scene as well to assist us with our adventures out to the reef to snokel with abundant and beautiful sea life. We spent time walking and biking on the beach, lingering at the pool of the nearby small SunDivers resort and mingling with other visitors who were enjoying thier time there as well. We especially enjoyed taking the water taxis in to San Pedro where we had our choice of many restaurants, souvenir and grocery shops. Local folks seemed to be extremely happy to have tourists visiting their environs. This was a wonderful vacation and the comfortable Nirvana home contributed to our fond memories of Belize. We would like to mention that visitors should anticipate that the Ambergris beachfront is in most areas congested with sea grass and other debris. This makes swimming in the Carribean out a way from the shore - and this is where the water is bluest, warm, welcoming and full of sea life and the reason the majority of visitors flock to this tropical vacation locale.
