This property is a star. You will never stay anywhere else like it. We stayed in the dolphin, and pleasantly it was bigger than the photos. The living space has that 80s hot tub lol which we ignored. There was a desk we used and the dining bar was also great. We cooked in the kitchen one night, there are basic pans and cutlery. Even the kitchen is amazing. New fridge. The stairs are so fun and then there is the amazing upper level: round, comfy bed, art sink, GARDEN SHOWER, balcony w seating &breeze, view of the pool and lagoon. Because the property is small it feels so private. The pool is fantastic. The bikes are useful for the close AMAZING spa/restaurant/pier/coffee shop at Azure del Mar. kayaking at sunset was super fun. We saw dolphins. While the home was clean, the semi-fitted windows, internal planters, and shower all foster bugs. Dont stay here if you are prissy. We named our friendly inside geckos and cheered them on and they gave us a can of raid which we only used once. Its part of living in the tropics. We felt secure in our bed and adored the friendly kitty who follows you everywhere. Oh and the grounds were gorgeous too, every plant was blooming.

Hot tub was freezing cold, not a HOT tub. Pillow cases were all dirty. Not what I expected with a luxury experience. Everything else was as expected. But was disappointed in the few things.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this architectural wonder. That was the appeal at the beginning and we were not disappointed. The host was wonderful. I would have given it five stars were it not for the following. The property is described as a "beachfront retreat." That is false. There is no publicly accessible beach anywhere near the property. To access the beach one has to be a paying customer at one of the restaurants 1.5 kilometers away, or drive down to Placentia 16 kilometers away. The beach pictures on the listing are not taken at the property. Also, the outside pictures show a unit other than the one you are renting. I include an exterior shot of the Dolphin Villa.Some have described the atmosphere as peaceful. That is true at night and on Sundays. But weekdays it is very noisy as it is right on the highway, and the vegetation is insufficient to buffer the noise. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub but one has to plan ahead. It takes 4 to 5 hours to sufficiently heat up the water. 2 hours only gets it lukewarm.

I loved the quirky architecture and the salt water infinity pool was not only nice to cool off in but had an amazing view. Since the property is set back and surrounded by trees and shrubs it was extremely secluded. I had a great, relaxing week!

20th Anniversary

We found this place to be so unique and loved all of it. It was spacious. The rainforest shower was gorgeous. It had everything one could possibly need for a 6 night stay. We had a golf cart so we were able to explore the area all the way down to Placencia pier district. It was nice to vome home to a private pool and relax and watch the sun set over the lagoon. The balcony was relaxing and i even got some photos of the full moon. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Fantastic!

Fantastic stay! We were in the dolphin house for 3 nights. Everything was excellent. The home is funky yet functional and very spacious. The spaces were open, but well defined. The hot tub was so welcome, especially since it was a little cooler when we arrived. I would recommend starting it 2-4 hours before you want to use it, but it will get nice and toasty. We enjoyed watching bollywood soaps while soaking since the tv is in view of the tub. The round bed was very comfortable (for two average sized adults), which was a relief since i’d never slept on a round bed before. The outside space was beautiful as well. Very quiet despite being close to the highway. There are bikes for rent, which is nice since it’s a bit outside of the town proper. The cabs are also plentiful and convenient. We would love to stay here again in the future!

Couldn't Have Chosen a Better Place to Stay!

We had a magical stay at Swan Villas. This unique property provided us with the experience we were lookign for in Belize. The property was clean, quiet, and Miriam was very responsive and super helpful! One of our favorite places to hang was the salt water pool; quite lovey with a nice view of the lagoon. If you're looking for a comforable and unique place to stay, Swan Villas is the place.
