We stayed with another couple on the top floor, amazing view, overlooking pool and ocean, awesome room and suite. "E" is the best guy for advise and pretty much your go to man while you stay here. Golf cart rentals are right there on property and a must to see the island.

WE LOVED ATHEN'S GATE because it really is a special place! They only have 12 rooms that are all either 2 or 3 bedrooms and are all oceanfront. We prefer smaller places because we find them more relaxing. People often say in reviews that they can't imagine staying anywhere else and that is the case with us and Athen's Gate. This was our first visit to Belize so we did go look at some of the other properties that we were considering booking and were VERY happy that we ended up at Athen's Gate.

As everyone says, "E" the onsite manager is great. He booked a fishing trip for us and then he and Javier cooked our catch and it really was the best meal we had on the island. Ruth was also great. Lori's family owns the hotel and she and her husband run it. She booked our rooms and couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.

The rooms are very large, well-appointed and have huge balconies. The property is 10-15 minutes outside of town by golf cart which was no big deal at all. We were very happy about this and would not have wanted to stay in town, again because we like more peaceful, relaxing places. The awesome dive shop we used, Belize Pro-Dive Center, picked us up at the Athen's Gate dock as did the fishing trip guy so it is very convenient.

There are a few restaurants that are an easy walk from the hotel. Lone Star, Black Orchid and Island Time are average but the restaurant at Victoria House was really nice.

Last year, my wife and I were lucky enough to discover Athens Gate resort in San Pedro, Belize. This gorgeous resort captures the charm and beauty of San Pedro in a way few resorts can.

First there's the unsurpassed beauty of the sea and beachfront view at the resort. The beach and ocean view at this location is one of the most beautiful on the island. The main building and individual suites are luxurious and spacious. There are 12 suites facing the ocean and they all have large outdoor porches overlooking the beautiful white sand and aqua colored sea.

You, your family, and friends may relax in the fresh water infinity edge pool while listening to the soothing trickling of the waterfall which flows in front of the swim-up bar. They make an awesome virgin Pina Colada.

Second, and more importantly, there's the management and staff. Joe and Rhonda Lawrence, along with their daughter Lauri and her husband, own and operate the resort. Laurie and her husband have recently taken a more active role in the day-to-day operations. They and their team do a superb job.

Joe was the first one my wife and I met, at Athens Gate, in the spring of 2013 while staying at rented house in San Pedro. Joe is an easy-going man with a friendly manner and engaging way. He seemed like an old friend right away. Joe doesn't give you the feeling he is chatting with a customer he wants to get away from. He, instead, makes you feel you have all the time in the world to visit with a new found friend. The warm welcome at Athens Gate drew us back for our first stay in the spring of 2014 and again this year.

The staff is a friendly, helpful, crew. You will get to know them by name as they pamper you and help make your stay a dream vacation of a lifetime. Their relationships with the excursion, hospitality, and service providers on the island will give you the inside track to all of the fun, relaxing, and adventure San Pedro is famous for.

We loved Athens Gate! Beautiful condos. We were two couples staying in a 2 bedroom. The only slightly negative thing I could say is that the difference in size in the 2 bedrooms is substancial. The master bedroom was beautiful and spacious, while the second room with twin beds put together to make a king was very tight. The service at Athens gate was top notch! We loved E and Ruth. They worked hard to make us feel right at home. Great suggestions on restaurants and things to do. We rented a golf cart for the week and would highly suggest this. We went to town every evening for dinner and having the cart was very convenient. We did a fishing and snorkeling trip with Alex Chan and had a great time. Really enjoyed the snorkeling, saw lots of fish, a turtle, sharks and rays. Overall it was a great adventure in Belize!
