8/10 Good
"It wasn't a bad stay but it wasn't what I expected. Instead of a room in the main hotel, we were upgraded to a cabin, in the back of the property where it was so dark I drove into the concrete septic block! No damage fortunately. And I guess back there was better than being up front because of a loud party on a Monday night. At least the room was clean, the bathroom was huge, and the bed was comfortable for the price. Unlikely to return."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful accommodation with a view of the city, warm and helpful staff always ready to assist or offer advice. There are two great pools for cooling off on hot days. The rooms are simply furnished; they lack a wardrobe or dresser for storing clothes—there is only a small rack with a few hangers—and there are no cups or mugs; a fridge would also be a welcome addition. The hotel's location is perfect, just a few steps from the Mayan ruins."

"What a treat! My partner and I stayed earlier this week and what a wonderful surprise the resort turned out to be. The food was phenomenal. The property was pristinely kept. The staff were incredibly warm, knowledgeable about food allergies, and so accommodating to every request. Watching toucans and hummingbirds during breakfast and waking to jungle views each morning made our stay absolutely magical! Even though it was low season, this resort and its wonderful staff didn’t miss a single beat!"

"What a beautiful experience! I HIGHLY recommend. My husband and I were looking for a quiet, peaceful, jungle experience and Mystic River delivered. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, and our room was wonderful and the bed was comfy. Steve, Mike & Olivia went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Steve & Olivia took care of us at the facility and Mike was our wonderful tour guide the entire stay. The food was delicious and perfectly plated (many thanks to the chef) and the rum punch was very good & hit the spot (many thanks to Steve 😉). Our room was fun. Steve delivered fresh coffee & pastries to our front door every morning. It had a plunge pool and was right along the beautiful Macal River. We got to see toucans!! The only negative is the neighboring resort's generator!!! Mystic River is solar powered so there's no generator noise whatsoever. It's very unfortunate the other resort isn't cognitive of the noise their generator is causing. Apparently it just recently happened."

"The staff at Villa Massis made us feel like family from the second we walked in! The food and drinks were wonderful. The room was perfect. The property is absolutely beautiful! Joelle (spelling?) was extremely warm and helpful. He booked us a private tour to Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. Mark was our guide and the tour was incredible! Their bartender, Gio, knew exactly how to cool us off after a hot day. Lucy always had the most beautiful smile on her face. The owner (can't remember his name) was very friendly and we could tell how much love he put into this property. Everyone was so happy to see us enjoying ourselves there. The best breakfast of our entire trip to Belize was at this resort! We will 100% be back to visit and will be bringing friends next time!"
