The hype
Travelers rave about the staff treating them like family and the killer nachos, but the social vibe isn't for recluses.
Pur Boutique Cabanas
$160-300 / nacht
Boek dit als You want a social, adults-only basecamp where the taco bar is as good as the pool scene.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The Taco Bar is a legitimate island destination, not just 'hotel food'
- Intimate vibe with only 6 cabanas means you actually get to know the staff
- Free filtered water stations (reverse osmosis) save you a fortune on plastic bottles
Snel Overzicht: It’s less of a secluded retreat and more like staying at your cool friend’s pool house who throws great dinner parties.
Beoordeeld door @stylemybonez: My stay at Pur Boutique Cabanas was pure magic. Waking up in that king bed and stepping right out to the pool was a dream. The outdoor shower was such a cool touch—felt totally immersed in nature but still private. If you need a romantic reset in San Pedro, this is it.
Gast die hier verbleef zei
Reality check
Some guests found the mattresses too soft or 'sinking' in the middle, and the 'Jaguar' cabana gets all the bar noise.
- You love meeting other travelers over margaritas
- You want a boutique feel without the stuffy luxury pretension
- You plan to rent a golf cart and explore the island daily
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though one recent review noted a 'missed spot' outlier.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are modern and clean; no recurring mold complaints found in search.
- Maintenance: Grounds are manicured daily; pool is sparkling. Some wear and tear on older cabanas is normal for the climate.
- Linens & towels: Towels are folded into animals (classic), generally fresh but humidity can make anything feel damp quickly.
- Odors & scents: Fresh, except for the occasional sargassum whiff from the ocean during bad seaweed months.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The hotel provides free bikes, which are great for reaching the bridge or nearby bars.
- Airport transfer (taxi) is often included in the rate—confirm this before booking your own.
- The 'beach' out front is more for looking than swimming due to seagrass and docks; you'll likely swim in the pool or go to Secret Beach.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Reef-safe sunscreen (Belize protects its coral)
- Bug spray (sand flies can be vicious at dusk)
- Earplugs (just in case the bar vibe goes late)
Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Eagle Ray: Offers a private plunge pool and is set further back from the bar for more privacy.
- Kinkajou or Crocodile: Also feature private mini-pools.
Kamers om te vermijden
- Jaguar: It's right next to the pool and bar—great for extroverts, terrible for naps.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the water safe to drink?
Yes! They have a reverse osmosis system and provide reusable bottles. This is rare and a huge perk.
Is it really adults only?
Strictly 18+. No screaming kids at the pool.
How far is the town?
About 1 mile north of the bridge. A 10-minute golf cart ride or a decent bike ride.
Can I swim in the ocean right there?
Technically yes, but it's often full of seagrass and has a seawall. Most people use the pool or drive to Secret Beach.
Is there room service?
Sort of—you can order from the Taco Bar and eat on your veranda, but it's not a 24/7 white-tablecloth operation.
Do I need to rent a golf cart?
Highly recommended. The hotel rents them on-site, often cheaper and easier than town agencies.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Secret Beach' is the place to go to escape the sargassum seaweed on the east side.
- ✨
Happy Hour at the Taco Bar draws locals too—it's a great place to get non-tourist advice.
- ✨
Ask for the 'spicy margarita'—reviews consistently hype it as one of the best on the island.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'beachfront' is separated by a small road/path, so you aren't stepping directly from room to sand.
💡The shower pressure is decent but can fluctuate during peak island usage times.
💡You will likely make friends with your neighbors whether you intend to or not due to the layout.
💡The 'Jaguar' room's kitchenette is handy, but the noise trade-off is real.
💡During sargassum season, the smell of decaying seaweed can reach the rooms if the wind is right.
