Our second trip to San Pedro to stay at Hole Chan Reef Resorts was just as great as the first. Both trips we have stayed in Unit 4A. The furnishings of the unit are amazing! You can really tell that the owners have great pride in their condo and want all their guest to have an amazing experience. While traveling with three teenagers, this unit allowed for ample space to spread out and have down time and great living spaces to join back together for meals and watching movies. All the comforts of home, but with an amazing view of the ocean. We enjoyed the view with our morning coffee and as we wound down from the day. Our favorite thing to do is day trips with Lady Leslie tours (both the group tours and private tours are amazing) for snorkeling, swimming with sharks and rays, time at Caye Caulker, and snorkeling along side a manatee. The private tour with Rickie was tailored to what we wanted to do and enjoyed many items that other tours make you book separate tours to enjoy. Each morning we ventured into town to The Baker for fantastic cinnamon rolls and baked goods. We also successfully hit Paradise Ice Cream each day for our midday treat. San Pedro has a lot to offer and we enjoyed touring the area on golf cart and felt safe during our entire trip. The concierge service at Hol Chan Reef Resort and amazing and were very helpful in securing our golf cart rental and had it ready for us when we arrived at the condo. We look forward to our third trip and will without a doubt be staying in Unit 4A once again!…

I really don't know where to start. We found this condo on VRBO, and within less than 24 hours after booking we heard from Sandra who offered us her concierge services. She booked our flight to Ambergris Caye, and our golf cart rental. She also booked our ride from the airport to the condo. She also connected us with Richard, from Suya tours who was incredibly helpful on answering some questions we had. When we landed, Manolo was there to drive us to the condo, and even offered to stop at a local store for us to get coffee for the next morning. When we arrived, both Sandra and Richard were there to greet us, even though it was later in the evening. Sandra showed us around the condo, gave us an amazing recommendation for dinner (Black Orchid) and even showed us how to use the golf cart. We stayed on the first floor, every morning we sat out on our patio and drank coffee while enjoying the view of the pool and gorgeous ocean. The pools are refreshing and very clean. Everything about the grounds are so well cared for. It's a gorgeous resort. Condo very clean, well stocked with everything we needed. You just can't be the beauty of this location, but what made it stand above and beyond was the customer service. Sandra gave us some great recommendations, and she was so responsive to every single thing we asked and needed. When we ran into her at one of the local restaurants, she greeted us like old friends! Richard is one of the friendliest people I've ever met, and it was a joy to hear him talk about the different excursions available. We loved every part of staying at Hol Chan Reef Resort & Villas. We are already planning to come back for my 50th birthday celebration next year.…

We spent a week at Hol Chan and everything was perfect! It is a little out of the way but that is what we were looking for. The concierge Sandra is the sweetest, kindest person and very attentive to our needs. She checked us in and out at our convenience. She is quick to answer questions and help with any need. She arranged a taxi for our departure. We had an air conditioner go out and it was replaced the very next day. The condo is well stocked, beds are fabulous and views are breathtaking! We also had a day snorkeling tour and the picked us up right on our dock. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for a week. The condo was clean. Sandra was helpful and a delightful to work with. She answered any questions we had. Richard was also very helpful. He helped us to arrange tours and told us about things happening in the area. The container bar, Stax, across the street from the condo has great food and cocktails. We would come and stay again.

The view was breath taking and the acomidations were so relaxing. Away from the hussle and bussle but close enough that every thing you want to do is a short ride away. The staff is attentive and eager to help with navigating the island and making sure everything is spotless at the resort.

This resort was just perfect for our girls trip! The concierge Sandra might just be the kindest most helpful person we have ever met! The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom condo had absolutely everything we needed...from beach towels to a fully stocked kitchen. The balcony was roomy with seating at a table and lounge chairs with a beautiful ocean view. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great especially in the bedrooms! Lounging at one of the 2 pools, or out on the sand by the ocean was so relaxing! The condo was in a great location, south of all the busy and noisy down town. Sandra was so helpful before and during our trip, no question was too big or too small. Sandra did everything from helping schedule transportation to recommend great dining options! ( we LOVED Someplace South and it was just down the road) Richard helped with any activities and was so responsive and happy to help facilitate every activity we wanted to do ( Snorkel The Hol Chan reef!!!)…

Great stay at Hol Chan. Friendly concierge (Sandra) and other staff. Everything was clean inside and outside. There’s a beautiful view that you can see from the window or go out on the patio/balcony. I’d stay here again without a doubt. Try it out!

Our family of 5 adults had an amazing time at the resort. The condo was beautiful with an ocean view and beautiful pools. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Sandra the concierge is top notch! She took care of any arrangements we needed and answered questions promptly before and during our stay. From golf cart rental to airport transportation to dinner reservations, she took care of everything. It was so nice to have a friend to call on when you needed something. Beautiful property with kayaks and SUPs free for use. A bit far from town (20 mins. ) but the quiet was so worth it and there were numerous restaurants close by. I would stay here again for sure! Unbelizeable!

Hol Chan is at the quieter end of San Pedro. The condos are very clean and well decorated. The balconies are substantial and offer beautiful views! The elevator also will take you to the roof for special sunsets! No bar on premises but directly across the street is “Stacks!” Nifty open bar with excitingly tempting and delicious drinks! Really good pizzas and BBQ that’s top notch! A fun and relaxing spot. Sandra G. is the concierge extraordinaire! There’s nothing she can’t make happen! Knows All the great people and well connected! Magically, Sandra makes it happen!
