Avis Luxurious Villa Ruby, Gold Standard Certified, Ocean views!

We loved our stay at La Perla Villa Ruby! The villa was perfect for our group of 8 adults and one toddler. It was extremely clean with plenty of room for everyone. The space is amazing with beautiful Belizean decor. There is a kitchen, air conditioning units in every room, laundry area, two gathering areas, dining area and rooftop terrace. The three levels were perfect for having a quiet space for the little one at nap time while the rest of us enjoyed time together. Michaela was awesome! She was always available to assist us with anything and was very responsive to special requests! She set up our transfer flights, golf cart rentals and coordinated with Roberto for our excursions. Roberto also made our stay exceptional through good communication with setting up snorkeling, fishing and even a bar-b-que of lobster and fish that we caught or speared. We love the Belizean food and their laid back culture. It is truly outstanding! There were many other staff members at La Perla that were exceptional and we thank them so much for their hospitality and kindness. They picked up our trash daily, kept the grounds in perfect shape and even climbed up a tree to get coconuts. We enjoyed our tour guides Joe, Top, and Pip. Thank you so much for our fun excursions and your knowledge and skill. We love your sense of humor! The resort itself is very beautiful and manicured. The pool was amazing and especially nice for the toddler with areas that she could play in the water. The views of the ocean are spectacular. LaPerla is quite a ways from San Pedro. We had two golf carts and traveled the bumpy road almost every day to San Pedro for supplies. We did a lot of our own cooking. We would like to mention that the kitchen could use additional large bowls, a stained for the kitchen sink and a stopper for the jacuzzi tub as there was no way to hold the water. It was always fun to travel by golf cart as there are lots of places to stop to eat or drink! Too many to hit them all! But we tried! It was quite windy most of our 9-day stay but that did not affect our excursions or our enjoyment! If you are looking for beach time, Secret Beach is about a 25 minute golf cart ride from La Perla. It is on the lagoon side of the island so is very calm and beautiful. You must have key lime pie at some point or you will miss out on the best I’ve ever had! We were very happy with our choice to stay at La Perla! Thank you to all who made our trip amazing!!

This property was clean and the management was prompt with requests. The washing machine and one of the ac units didn’t work. There was some miscommunication around pricing for hiring a private chef, through management. The grounds are well maintained but the beach isn’t clean. This location is about a 25 min golf cart ride to the north end of the island. If you are looking for a quite area with not much around, this place is what you’re looking for.

As named, LaPerla del Caribe, is a gem. It's meticulous groundskeeping of the tropical flora, nice and attentive staff, privately situated cluster of luxurious villas, away from the town centre bustle - is paradise. Villa Ruby's grand layout was perfect for our group of 8. Its architectural features and decor wowed us, as well as the barrier reef views.

What an incredible experience!

Great place in Belize! We would definitely come back.

This is a beautiful home but.... PROS: Steps away from the ocean and small area for swimming. Small pool if you don’t like the ocean. Restaurants easily accessible by golf cart. Very private location. The property manager went above and beyond to meet our needs. You are only as strong as your weakest link. The maintenance team were responsive to our needs. Cons: Housekeeping is sluggish to respond, They would replenish the towels on the lower floor and not bring them up to the middle level or master bedroom… It took us two days to figure out their system.…laundry is attached to the home but you have to go outside to get to it. You might even find housekeeping utilizing the Utilities for other homeowners towels.… Difficulty getting beach towels on a daily basis yet this is a beach resort. Jacuzzi not functioning. Fresh water to drink is not free. No beach chairs on the beach we had to carry them ourselves. No chairs on the dock… Air conditioning controller was not functioning on the main floor but quickly fixed by maintenance
