Interaction with guests:Â The owners, Mike and Laura, live at the property year round (except for too few vacation times!). We are available to help with recommendations, arranging spa services, fishing or mainland tours - just about anything Belize. There is a dive shop 20 seconds away to schedule diving/snorkeling tours - which we suggest you do on your own as they are highly dependent on your schedule and weather. There is also a great guest book in each suite with suggestions for restaurants, things to do, live music venues, shopping and more.
VERY spacious! This suite had all the updated amenities a solo traveler like me could ask for. A safe big enough to fit your laptop. Great wi-fi. A kitchen with oven, stove, microwave and fridge to grocery shop and cook. Great water pressure throughout and comfy bedding to sleep soundly each night after long days at the beach or a night out on the town. Perfectly located near several bars and restaurants. Only a 25 min drive to Secret Beach and a 7 min golf cart ride into town. Hosts were super helpful with recommendations and offering to help with anything you can think of! Great views from the pool. Always felt safe at the property as well as driving to and from it at all times throughout the day and night. Look forward to coming back and staying at the Twisted Palm Villas again!

Twisted Palms Villa was amazing
Our stay at the twisted palm was nothing short of amazing. The Carey’s are absolutely the best owners you could imagine, welcoming, accommodating, warm, kind, friendly and very helpful. The villa was well put together, rooms were clean, cleaning staff very pleasant, pool was private and sufficient, beach area was nice as well. The five bar was a frequent of ours since it’s like ten steps away but also very good food and drinks along with great staff. Not enough stars on here for this place. We will be back

Terrific place
Great location. Great host. Great views.
Host was very helpful in all aspects of the trip. He lined up transportation from the airport to the water taxi and from the water taxi to Twisted Palms. That was so helpful especially since we were first time visitors. Definitely a location to return to!

Nice accommodations and friendly host
We really enjoyed our stay here. Our condo was cozy, but had all the essentials. Everything was new and nicely setup. It's a bit removed from town, but not really an issue since we rented a golf cart (and got a free bridge pass). It was also nice to be able to use the kayak gear from Dive Bar next door. All in all, we had a really good stay.

About the neighborhood
Ambergris Caye and San Pedro have a small island, small community feel. There are not a lot of 'dress up' restaurants, but expect to have some great food and eating experiences while on the island. The island is 24 miles long and up to 1 mile wide in some areas. Feel free to explore it all, although there are a few neighborhoods off the beaten path to avoid after 8 or 9 pm (probably like where you live!).
The locals are very friendly towards travelers and visitors. Most locals are very curious about visitors and want to know their 'story'. There is a good sense of service on the island - everyone wanting to make sure you have a great time while you're here. Don't get in a hurry, though. Slow down and enjoy the pace!
Getting around
Most people get around by walking, bikes or golf carts. Travelers mostly prefer golf carts! But even though they can go 15-20 MPH...slow down and go 10! Take in what's around you and settle into the 'go slow' motto of the island and Belize!
We can arrange golf cart or bike rentals and have rate sheets available for both. The island is 24 miles long and up to 1 mile wide in some places, so if you wish to explore - get a golf cart. If you like your exercise, walk or get a bike. If R & R is #1 on your list - skip both and walk to nearby restaurants, bars, dive shops or grocery stores.
Our opinion? Get a golf cart for flexibility, unless you KNOW you are staying by the pool or beach all day!
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
From Belize International Airport (BZE) we can help arrange either air transfer or water taxi transfer to the island of Ambergris Caye. We have great information on options and pricing for both methods of transfer. Once on the island, we can arrange either golf cart or taxi pickup at the airport or water taxi dock. (There are no car rental companies on the island - only golf carts or bikes!). We have information on both golf cart or bike rentals, so please ask and we're happy to help with your arrangements - making it simple for you!
