No hassle and stress free vacation

Our vacation began the minute we walked out of the Belize City airport. The owner(Tony) and care taker(Alfred) of the casa BajaMar recommended our group (10 of us) take the Nautalis water taxi to the home. As promised, they were there waiting for us and loaded up our luggage and got us on the boat and took us directly to the dock where we were met by Alfred and his great dog Po. He immediately made us all feel comfortable and welcome. All of the rooms were very clean, roomy and views to die for. One of my main concerns before we left on the trip was setting up day and night snorkeling trips, but Tony highly recommended we just wait until we arrived and that Alfred would set everything up. I was a bit anxious about that as we were there over the Christmas holidays and I feared everything would be booked. Well no worries about that as Alfred has connections ha ha. Alfred said "lets just set up these excursions on the best days and when you all feel like it". Fortunately the weather was always fantastic, but he chose the perfect days and we just walked out to the dock when our excursion boat (coral divers) arrived. Alfred literally handled everything. Talk about easy and convenient... wow. Genie (guide and boat driver with Coral Divers) was fun, easy going, knowledgeable and had some tasty rum punch for our adventures. We did several snorkels. Hol Chan/shark ray alley, and Mexico rock(which was our personal favorite) and also a night snorkel to Mexico rock. We also went to Caye Caulker island, walked around and had a fabulous lunch at a restaurant right at the dock we tied up to. After we left Caye Caulker, Genie took us by boat to the other side of the island and we fed the tarpon fish right out of our hands. We all thought that was pretty cool! Life back at the home was as relaxing and beautiful as one could imagine. We had two golf carts(4 and 6 seater) so occasionally went to local store for a few items or a longer drive into San Pedro for a bigger shop. Take cash though as there is a toll (2.50 belizian each way) to enter San Pedro. One of our favorite stops was the "truck stop" (maybe a mile before San Pedro)which had a great bar and ice cream shop! The best advice I can give on this trip though was to have Dianie cook all the supper meals.....amazing cook and more reasonable than local restaurants. But most of all... Trust Alfred to book everything and just enjoy the majestic beauty of this amazing home and relax! Truly a 5 star vacation.

Beautiful location and spacious but dated home

We spent 2 weeks at Bajamar, with 6 adults and 4 very small kids the first week, and 5 adults with 2 kids the second. The great: Great amount of space for multiple families, and the outdoor areas were amazing. The kids lived in the wonderful pool! The view is beyond photos, with a rare sandy beach for Ambergris. Brand new flat top grill! Diane made us 10 meals and each of them was wonderful. Alfred and Diane needed to be away unexpectedly for a few days and kindly ordered a cake from a local bakery for my daughter's birthday. Getting picked up at the dock in front of the house for excursions was great. The fine: We needed help basically every other day - with the large sliding doors, oven, an air conditioner, butane, the internet, etc. Alfred was quick to work to fix things if he could, but couldn't always. The bad: We had several power outages while there. The vast majority were island wide, so not under the control of the house. However, Alfred was working to install a generator and turned off power for 2 hours our last evening at the house. He'd warned me there would be an outage before it went out but I assumed it would brief. It interrupted packing, and more importantly bedtime with two little kids, which without air conditioning or lights (again) was extremely frustrating when we were leaving 12 hours later. The house is showing age in the sea air and could use a really deep clean/replacement of rusting fixtures. Interior areas are definitely showing heavy wear.

Excellent week!

Our group of 3 couples enjoyed our week at Bajamar! The location is great- outside of the craziness of downtown San Pedro, right on the beach, and walking distance to two great bars/restaurants. We rented golf carts and went to Blue Bayou on Secret Beach and Pur as well. Alfred was awesome, helping set up our golf carts, the guys fly fishing trip, and a great day out snorkeling and over to Caye Caulker, feeding the tarpon. He also shopped for us & made a second run for more beverages. Dianie made two wonderful meals for us- highly recommend! An overall relaxing vacation- we went from pajamas to swimsuits back to pajamas everyday. Just what we all needed!

Albert runs the show

First of all, Albert and Diane are Bajamar. Albert quickly took care of any issues that arose and made sure our stay was as stress free as possible. Our only issues were the golf cart rentals arranged thru Alfred. Thru no fault of his, the carts were obviously not maintained at all from the company. Four out of the 5 carts had to be replaced in the week due to mechanical issues but Alfred made sure those replacements arrived quickly. The house location is approx. 5 miles North of San Pedro which made trips to San Pedro a long drive on very rough roads but we were closer to Secret beach and the out of the way sand trail to Margaritaville and Tranquility bay, which is a must do trip! The Winey Gringa is 3 minutes away for essential supplies. The house was comfortable with a well stocked kitchen for any cooking needs. Diane makes incredible meals and we encourage everyone to have her cook for you whenever you dont want to cook. Diane even made an incredible birthday cake, upon request, for one of our friends in the group. Each room has its own A/C units which work very well. The pool was chilly but nice on the hot days. Using Alfred for excursions was great since the boat came right to our dock for pickup. Captain Darwin and crew provided fun excursions. Overall we would recommend Bajamar to anyone wanting a more private Belize getaway from the crowds of resorts.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Whitehouse

Why they chose this property

While all beautiful places have their individual charms, nowhere on earth has given me the same sense of a yearning to return than here at BajaMar on Ambergris, the “Isla Bonita”.
As a brief background to the house, at the end of 2007 I bought the land, five miles north of San Pedro Town, to build BajaMar as a tropical home. The intention was to enable my wife and I to escape the cold winters of Europe; that I might fly-fish the surrounding salt water flats during my retirement and the decision was made with some vague and eccentric middle aged whim of investment. While the conceptual layout of the house was mine, the fine architectural design is entirely to the credit of local architect, Sue Courtenay. The house was completed in 2010 after a prolonged and challenging construction period of some two and a half years. Every single material for the construction was brought to the site by barge.
