Food was out of this world delicious and so very fresh

This is a family owned Villa. Larry was very accommodating he helped us with transportation and with tours. Mel is the chef and every meal was excellent. You have to try her fryjacks they were amazing. The room was perfect, we had a daily visitor that we named Joey. It was a small bird that would "knock" on the door. The WIFI is strong and the AC is cold. I really enjoyed my time with Larry and Mel and appreciate their helpfulness for my first trip to Belize.

The only downside is there isn't a lot to do in walking distance. However if you plan on taking tours and relaxing this is the best place for you and your family.

Beautiful location. Staff was awesome accommodating and knowledgeable

Bed was a bit stiff but still comfy

Very friendly staff met us upon arrival and helped us throughout our stay. They were available to help arrange tours if interested and gave recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

This wasn't an issue for us as we had rented a car, but I could imagine the stay may have been more difficult if you don't have a car of your own. I believe the tours may pick up that far out and I'm sure if the staff helped arrange the tours it wouldn't be an issue, but going for dinners, etc or just to down town San Ignacio would be annoying without a car.

The property is in the wild; we had Howler monkies in the tree right outside our room two afternoons in a row! The pool was nice, but the awesome dinners every night were the best.

The roads to get there were typical Belize roads (bumpy) for the last 5 minutes of the drive.

Loved the attentiveness of Amini, Michelle and Larry. They fully took care of us and ensured we had dinner available after our day-long excursions. They prepped a wonderful New Year’s Eve buffet and ensured we had a grand time! Even provided us a complimentary bottle of wine and had sparklers for our daughter! It was truly a home away from home and allowed us to learn so much about Belize and connect with our wonderful hosts!

There was a bit of musty smell in the unit, which is likely due to the tropical, humid weather. Perhaps this can be addressed. We just left the glass door open when we were in the unit to help with air flow.

The Villa, customer service, the food and location. An enjoyable first-time visit to Villa Massis it was with high standards and excellent customer service from start to finished. Upon booking our stay I instantly got a message confirmation from Larry the Owner my only request to the villa was that I wanted to have an amazing, intimate unforgettable experience with my love. Larry responded promptly and informed me that my request will be granted and yes it absolutely was. My husband and I stayed in the 1 bedroom villa nestled in the jungle of San Ignacio. Our second floor hideaway has a over sized well decorated and fully furnished balcony. The balcony has a hammock perfectly placed to enjoy the beautiful sunset while gazing at the waterfalls cascading down into the beautiful pool and lush greenery surrounding the entire property. Our private Villa was as displayed on the pictures a fully functional kitchen with complimentary water, plates, kitchen towels, appliances and utensils. The bathroom with fresh clean towels and bath robes and a nicely decorated living space. I totally enjoyed the comfortable king size bed and furnishings, the tinted class doors and windows that allowed us to enjoy the views from all areas of the villa. The service from all the staff was absolutely fantastic, and unforgettable. On arrival at the villa we were greeted with perfectly mixed welcome drinks and Melanie aka( Mel) had a birthday cake that she personally baked and decorated for my Birthday. I must pause just to reminisce on some of the most delicious well prepared meals bursting with flavors that seems to exlode on contact or arrival to my buccal cavity. Amini and Mel takes great pride with preparation, presentation and delivery of every meal and beverages served. Honestly I really missed having my fresh glass of watermelon juice each morning pared with the best fried jacks we've ever had during our entire time in Belize. Thanks to the entire team at Villa Massis.

Lizzard but its in the Jungle

The entire experience from start to finish was first-rate. The entire Villa Massis team was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and hospitable. The villas are beautifully decorated and the attention to detail is incredible - the furniture and beds are super comfortable, the sheets, towels, and guest robes are superb quality, and there's plenty of coffee, fresh water, and tea. The common areas including the pool and dining spots are clean and inviting; the luscious and beautifully kept garden gives you a 'luxury jungle escape' vibe. Make sure you eat all of the food you can there - Mel, Amini, and the team are fantastic chefs, whipping up local and international treats in minutes. We recommend the cooking classes too which were great fun and very informative. Larry is a remarkable and accomplished character - be sure to ask about the local history of the Cayo region as well as some of his many stories!! Truly a Belizean experience that somehow felt like a home away from home. 10 out of 10, would recommend :)
