    Nothing, really. I feel like the secret is out because Pelican Reef was quite a bit more expensive than the last time we booked. But it was still worth it. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

    We've stayed at Pelican Reef once before, and let's just say...when my daughter graduated from high school, and we gave her the option of a graduation trip, she chose to come back to Belize and Pelican Reef. It's clean, a great location, and comfortable. The staff makes you feel like family. The service, the smiles, and really...it's their attention to details without being overly "bougie" and entitled. We feel compelled to bring them gifts because well, we just LIKE them as PEOPLE.

    Pelican reef does not serve dinner and does not have appetizers or any food after lunch service. there is a restaurant within walking distance that serves until 8 PM. Pelican reefs bar is open until 9 PM but closes early if there are no customers.

    We have stayed here three times. The staff is phenomenal, very friendly and accommodating. There are only 16 units so it does not get overcrowded. if you do not plan on staying solely at the resort, you will need to rent a golf cart to travel to restaurants,shopping or site seeing. There are a few restaurants and bars within walking distance. Otherwise you can take a taxi. I recommend renting a cart or getting a taxi, making reservations or planning fishing or day trips through pelican reef. The first time we stayed here, I made the mistake of making all reservations on my own which resulted in me paying more for the golf cart and waiting longer at restaurants. Pelican reef has pull in the community and you’re taken well care of with all the business’ they book through. if you stay at the resort they have paddle boards, kayaks, full bar, and a restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch but not dinner. breakfast and lunch is very good. The condo was very nice and well equipped with washer, dryer, Iron, coffee maker, laundry, and dishwasher detergent, full kitchen with all utensils, glasses, and blender.

    Bed arrangements more suited to 2 couples in this 2 bedroom condo. We were a couple and 2 singles, so one of us slept on a provided (comfy) air mattress in the living room. The property is located fairly distant (about 3 miles) from the San Pedro Ferry Terminal, i.e. town center.

    We had a wonderful stay at this property. As I understand it, private condos are managed by a company. It was quiet and beautiful, clean and well-maintained. A dock with hammocks, beach chairs and a small, rocky reef for snorkeling. Pretty little pool. The staff were excellent. Tristan, the concierge(?), was especially helpful and courteous. He helped us arrange a number of amenities (shuttle, golf cart, delivery dinner, dive outing).

    The 2 1/2 miles into San Pedro is a little far -- even on a golf cart. But we knew that when we booked.

    We liked just about everything. Great staff, rooms, beach, peer, snorkeling, breakfast, pool, bar. We would definitely recommend this place. Our group of 10 stayed in a 2 bedroom & a 3 bedroom.

    evening entertainment would have been nice

    Breakfast menu had many choices and was very good. The French toast they use cinnamon bread which made for a great flavor. Snorkeling was great- so many fish, sting rays, turtles, eels, and the colors were magnificent. Go to Secrets beach - breathtaking and an easy way to spend the day. Crystal clear water, sand floor and you can walk 300 yards or more out and stay in waist deep clear water.
