Q. HOW IS THE BEACH? CAN WE SWIM OFF THE BEACH?

A. The beaches of Belize have Seagrass or "Turtle Grass" growing, this is harmless and in fact is an important part of Belize’s ecosystem. This grass can grow in our shallow waters as we have such strong protection from the World's second largest barrier reef. This means our waters are warm, calm, and shallow for quite a way out and we do not for the most part of traditional walk-in beaches. For guests wishing to swim in the Caribbean, our dock has stairs leading into the water, diving is not permitted. Please note: periodically, Belize, along with other areas of Central America, The Caribbean, Mexico, and USA, will experience periods of Sargassum Seaweed washing ashore. Sargassum Seaweed comes from the Sargasso Sea in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and is normally kept at bay by water temperatures and currents. We work diligently to keep our beach clear; however, guests should be aware when visiting coastal areas that seaweed may be present.

Q. HOW CAN WE GET GROCERIES?

A. We can provide recommendations for provisioning services in advance of your arrival or you can grocery shop once you are on island.

Property was lovely, well-equipped, and clean. We loved our stay and Iris was very helpful with local knowledge and water refills. Only frustrating part was not knowing in advance that anyone could use the "private" dock, cabana, and beach area from 6am-6pm. There was a fairly constant stream of people fishing, docking their boats, or hanging out on the dock throughout the stay.

Great Stay on Ambergris Caye

Lisa and Ed did everything possible to make our stay fantastic. We were two families with 8 people total and the house was more than big enough for everyone to have plenty of room. The pool, pier, and area for games provided plenty of options for activities at the house, and we enjoyed golf carting around the island. The house was clean and in great condition. Caretakers Iris and Eldon took great care of us.

Wonderful family vacation!

We had an amazing stay at Noodle’s Retreat, the house was perfect for our family, queen sized bunk beds for the teens, ensuite bathrooms for the adult couples. Lisa and Ed are perfect hosts, gave us the lay of the land and organized all of our activities and transportation. The big table was great for family dinners and games of cards. The dock is beautiful and we even saw sting rays from it. Snorkeling was a lot of fun and the golf carts were a fun adventure on the bumpy roads to town. Huge thanks to Ed, Lisa, Iris and family!

Everything in the listing was 100% accurate

Our family spends two weeks every February at a VRBO on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean. We have stayed at places where the pictures don't accurately showcase the property and were SO pleased that the pictures of Noodles Resort were 100% accurate!The place was amazing! Warm, comfortable, on the beach, beautiful pool, amazing common spaces and comfortable beds. Warm showers and fantastic staff waiting to help you with every need.The owner Ed was super helpful and very responsive to our every request..even the minor issues. Take him up on his offer to help you get from the airport with his connections!We bought crab on the beach from someone who dove for it that morning and Iris (Ed's caretaker) made dinner for us and it was spectacular. Nice size bedrooms with private bathrooms for each. Perfect for a family who wants to spend time together but also likes to have some time to relax by themselves.We cannot say enough about this place. It's reasonable for what you get and definitely something families will enjoy...as would couples, seniors and singles :)

An amazing stay at Casa Lisa on Ambergris Caye!

Our family of 8 had an amazing week at Casa Lisa. The property is picture perfect (exactly as shown in the property pictures). Ed, Lisa and Iris were there to welcome us and had our golf carts waiting. Iris and her family were available all week for whatever needs or questions we had. Snorkeling right off their dock was a much enjoyed activity! Everyone enjoyed the sea kayaks that are right on the property, as well as the immaculate pool. Beautiful sunrises, great restaurants nearby and the Hol Chan Marine Reserve is directly on the reef within view of the property. Thanks so much Iris, Ed and Lisa!! And Noodle of course!

Very Nice

We had a very nice time. The hosts were amazing with helping us set up everything we needed on the island. This included transportation and scuba diving, as well as recommendations for restaurants. They were able to set up scuba excursions for us, where we were picked up at the dock.This made for a great experience and saved us a lot of time. The road to the house was in bad shape the first few days. By the end the city had graded it and it was much better. When the road is in bad shape it makes it hard to get around. The bugs are very bad at dawn and dusk and after it rains.

Great stay for a large group

We had a great time staying at Noodles retreat. We were a large group and the house accommodated all of us with a little bit of extra room. Ed one of the owners was very helpful making sure to get the golf carts and taxis for us. Iris was really helpful in telling us where to go for groceries and such. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was great and the little kids enjoyed it a lot. We didn’t use the kayaks because we were too busy but they were there. There isn’t a “beach” into the water but you can get in from the pier. The internet worked well and we even watched a show or two on a rainy day. The owners do have the property managers come every day and do a check in, which I didn’t know ahead of time and caused some of our group to feel a little managed. It would have been good to know ahead of time. Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved San Pedro!!

Exceeds expectations!

We had an amazing time at Casa Lisa. Ed and Lisa were awesome hosts, and a great resource for the area. They provided a lot of information for food and excursions. The sunset snorkeling cruise they recommended was just incredible. They picked us up right on the pier. They helped to set up transportation, golf cart rental, etc. Iris,, Eldon, and their kids were also awesome whenever we needed something at the house. Belize is so beautiful and this location was just perfect. The view from the porch and beach are stunning. It is so quiet and relaxing. The house set up worked great for us and our blended family of 6 kids (and one fiance). Plenty of space and clean. It was just perfect. Would definitely recommend staying here. It truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Wonderful stay south of San Pedro

Iris, Lisa and Ed were awesome hosts, thanks guys. We had a family scuba trip with 5 of our adult children. The dive company picked us up every morning at the dock and we used the outside shower to rinse us and our gear off, it was super convenient. Everyone had a room with AC and enough bathrooms for everyone. I particularly liked that this house had an inside stairway, several properties have an outside stairway. The house is about 20 minutes south of San Pedro and felt safe and quiet. Our kids went out every night to "Stax" and "Drink and Drive" which are a few minutes away. We tried kayaking but with the trade winds blowing onshore, we just paddled into the wind until we were tired, jumped in the water and floated back to the dock with the kayak (there is a lot of boat traffic so we stayed with the kayak and kept an eye out). The diving is great, the Blue Hole is geologically amazing, Hol Chan night dive is dreamy (lots of rays in the moonlight), other dives had great visibility, health coral and lots of sea creatures. Iris took care of our every need, thanks! (Iris-2, Lisa -1, Ed-1 :D )

A Retreat that will leave you refreshed.

Our group (10 of us) really enjoyed Noodles Retreat. We did not know what to really expect as none of us had been to the Island before. Ed, Lisa, and Iris met us as we arrived at the house and helped us understand the lay of the island. It was very helpful as San Pedro is a bit different than most vacay spots. Lisa helped Set up the Golf Cart Rentals so they were there when we arrived (very helpful and convenient...ok and a lot of fun to drive around all week). Ed was very helpful setting up logistics to and from airport and recommended some great excursions. Iris was awesome and made sure we had anything we needed very fast. She is a rock star. They made our stay very enjoyable and they were all very easy to reach at all times. Per the property itself...the house stayed nice and cool which is always a plus on a warm island. The upstairs porch is amazing....perfect view of the pool and ocean....you can't beat having morning coffee or an evening cocktail and enjoying the breeze. It was also really cool that they have their own dock so any snorkeling/diving excursions simply pick you up at your back door. We had a really nice time and this place is very easy to recommend to others.

Belize trip

We arrived and was greeted by the owners and house keeper who lives on site. Very friendly and helpful. We were surprised that we were a bit further from town then was posted. The property was beautiful and dock amazing. Having massages out at the end was incredible !! The owners helped get everything set up before we got there ! Very efficient Unfortunately I got my wallet stolen from the house when we were at the pool on the property The owners were helpful putting out a notice on Facebook to island residents to help locate it. We received confirmation that it was found and to meet them at the police station Ed the owner was kind and went with us. I did receive my wallet , my money was taken Unfortunately, there was not any sort of credit or help recouping my travel money I’m told there were cameras put in outside the property Overall the property experience was fantastic , which was part of my surprise that there wasn’t an action taken to help the hit from getting my wallet stolen from their property.

10/10 Super host-

First time our family visited San Pedro island. Ed, Lisa, Iris greeted us at the house upon arrival, explained clearly about the house,recommended good restaurants. Excellent hosts- quick respond, helped us to resolve issue with golf cart and excursion. They helped to arrange golf cart delivery, transportation from/to airport, . Everyday Iris & her family go extra miles to help us with everything we need with the house so we can feel like home (light up bbq pit, right boat for excursion,etc). House is very spacious. AC is very cool in each room. Big kitchen, and dinning area. We loved the house, very cleaned, good beds, nice pool,. Big patio & deck upstairs. A safebox is in upstairs bedroom. We feel safe here. Next door neighbors also beach rental, nice & friendly! Weather was hot & humid during our stay so pool was awesome! This island is not like white sand beach in Pensacola! Secret beach is 50-60mins by golf cart, and road is bumpy & dusty. Nice beach, no sand, you stepped a few concrete steps to go down to water, clear water but a lot of water bugs that stick to you. They don’t sting or bite. We used Ambergris Dive company for "island day tour"& intro dive-awsome! About food-We booked catering 3 nights before we arrive, but when we arrived we found out( from Ed) so many places that you can eat out much cheaper &variety of food too ($20-$30usd).Definitely stay here again.Bring bugs spray(alot mosquitos in town),use mineral sun block to protect the reefs &the sea animals.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to cancel our originally planned family Christmas trip to Peru and had a little more than a week to reschedule. Casa Lisa at Noodles Retreat had just recently gone on-line so it was one of very few properties available at such short notice and during a very popular time. We were fortunate it was open and able to accommodate our family with three grown children. Lisa and Ed were wonderful. They arranged for us to be picked up via taxi at the airport and were there to greet us at the house. Throughout the vacation, they were great resources particularly regarding excursions and activities. One day, Ed arranged for an amazing day of fishing and diving for conch, followed by a beach barbecue of fresh ceviche. That was definitely a highlight for us. I would highly recommend utilizing their assistance with this and wish that we had had more time to research and plan the various options that Lisa had provided to us prior to our arrival because they book up. The house is lovely and located directly on the beach with a pier that is utilized by several neighbors throughout the day. Although the water from the pier was beautiful to look at, it was not necessarily good for swimming due to rocks and seaweed (and the mention of water crocodiles in the area at night made it even less inviting). Therefore, we spent a lot of time around the pool which was clean and refreshing. There is a lovely family that lives in a separate building on the property and is available to assist with any issues or questions. We absolutely loved Iris (the caretaker) and she even offered to do our laundry for us one day because she felt badly that they had been away the first three days and we were unable to access the washer/dryer. The house had most of the amenities we needed. However, we definitely missed having a washer/dryer, dishwasher and outdoor grill. I would say that the one downside to Casa Lisa is the distance from town. Although it's located at mile marker 3.5, this trip often took 30-35 minutes due to the "bone jarring" potholes that were challenging in the golf cart at both slow and fast speeds. However, this may have been due to the three days of torrential rain that we had causing the roads to be extremely muddy and treacherous. Not much you can do about the weather. Hope to experience Belize again during a sunny week!! Overall, it was a great family vacation and stay at Noodles Retreat!!
