Marbucks Bed and Breakfast

During our five-day stay at Marbucks Bed and Breakfast, my fiancé and I had a decent experience but were disappointed with several aspects. The location of Marbucks is its strongest suit, as it is in the heart of everything, making it an ideal spot for those looking to explore the surrounding area (we found renting a golf cart essential). The warmth and friendliness of the staff also marked a high point. The major drawback of our stay was that we did not find Marbucks to be where we could hang out and spend time, which we intended to do there. It might cater well to those who prioritize a place merely to rest their heads but not to those who want a place to hang out during the day. Contrary to the appealing images on their booking website, the pool area, which could have been an idyllic spot for relaxation, was largely inaccessible due to breakfast service sprawling from 7 AM to 1 PM, severely limiting our use of the outdoor area (the two lounge beds are put away and people are eating right in front of your room and around the pool area). We ended up going out every day to places like Moon Bar or buying a day pass at a resort to find what we were missing at Marbucks. Another letdown was the lack of a beach spot to relax, which was a bummer. Food-wise, we only really liked the french toast and veggie omelet. There are also discrepancies between advertised and actual services, such as the unfulfilled promise of daily housekeeping and room service, further contributing to our dissatisfaction (our room was not cleaned once during our five day stay). The cessation of food and drink services by early afternoon each day was a considerable inconvenience, as we would have liked to have been able to have drinks throughout the day. In the evening, there was a pervasive presence of a security guard, whose well-meaning vigilance, unfortunately, made us feel overly watched/listened to, which hindered our ability to enjoy the pool and sit on our balcony freely during night hours. We did not find the bed comfortable due to the stiff mattress and pillows. Lastly, the AC was leaking and the refrigerator did not get cold even when turned to the coldest setting.

Step 1 to enjoying your stay on Ambergris Caye is to stay somewhere that you feel comfortable. My wife and I (both in our early 30's) booked Daydreamin B&B for seven nights for our honeymoon, and are really glad that we did. I'm writing this review after five days here, and what put it over the top for me was having breakfast by the pool today. The ambience that Mar and Rob create here is really special. While I was enjoying a cappuccino and the last bites of my complimentary blueberry coconut pancakes, I was just taking stock of the atmosphere around Marbucks. It just feels great to be here. The service is EXCELLENT. Also, "Wine Down" Thursdays are fun! There was a great guitar player named Alex Johnstone who came to play for it while we were here and my wife and I got to dancing. Book it! You'll be glad that you did.

We loved staying here. The set up was cozy and inviting with the 4 cabanas surrounding a soaking pool and the view out to the ocean. Rob was a gracious and accommodating host. All of the staff are courteous, friendly and a delight to engage with. The breakfasts definitely lived up to the hype as they were delicious. Nothing beats waking up to a gourmet breakfast outside your door in a relaxing environment. We met incredible people both staying there and locals who came over for the weekly wine, small bites and music on Thursday nights. The B&B is close to multiple options for dinners, a short drive to Secret Beach in one direction and San Pedro in the other. An overall wonderful place to stay!

This little airbnb is a great find! Rob is very helpful. The best part is the food and freshly made breakfast. There is nice little eat out spot called truck stop steps away from this place. Stay here for the food!!

Really nice location and cute spot. Everyone is friendly. Breakfast was ok , the only thing i can say is hut 3 which i was in needs a new shower head, the water sprays sideways. Other then that . Rooms are cute.

Looking for a small, quiet and cozy accommodation with friendly service? This is a great place to stay. The price is reasonable and the breakfast choices are delicious. The staff is very helpful. The location is closer to Secret Beach than for those staying closer to town and is walking distance from several eating spots.

Great small location north of the bridge if you want to stay away from the congestion of San Pedro town, but still be a close golf cart ride away. Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, great breakfast, and amazing morning sunrises.

Our family loved marbucks so much we had to go back multiple times during our stay! Peaceful, quiet small outdoor environment with delicious breakfast. Between my family of 5 we ended trying almost everything from the menu and it was all a hit. Tables are centered around a pool and surrounded by a few villas where visitors have booked their stay. We tried many of the coffees and smoothies offered. We noticed it can be common to be out of certain fruits as they get daily deliveries of fresh fruit. Service is great and accommodating (for that one picky eater in the group). All of the tables had umbrellas which makes a big difference in San Pedro morning heat (I mention bc some places did not and it’s miserable to eat while sweating profusely). We loved ; ALL the smoothies and frappes Cold Brew coffee All the mimosas French toast with Nutella/caramel Omelette Avacado toast

Lots of pluses to this small property. You won’t find the on-site amenities of the larger resorts but you will get a lot of benefits. Firstly the location is great. It is a lot quieter than busy San Pedro but still close (walking distance) to great restaurants. Second is that it is that the room has everything you need. Finally, with a small site you get personal service.
