Abezza Resort and Adventure Spa

Resorts are much more than the amenities they provide. For us it’s about the people. Abezza not only has wonderful services and facilities, it also has a staff that is second to none. Our drivers and tour guides Amilcar and Delvin were fantastic, courteous and professional but also very personable and knowledgeable. Amilcar gave us a wonderful trek through the on-site jungle adjacent to the resort. The tour included the identification of the local flora and fauna of Belize and its medicinal value. Our servers Gloria and Sandy took unbelievable care of us during our stay. Both are delightful and bring warmth and laughter to the great service they provide. Behind the scenes, Chef Orlando made amazing meals, highlighting Belizean cuisine and ingredients. The food was fantastic! Mary provided unbelievable spa treatments with a relaxing personal approach. Owner/manager Nicky works hard to keep the resort in great shape. Super friendly and funny, he personally drove us to the airport at the completion of our stay. Even son Sterling pitched in to provide great service, helping us overcome technological issues so we could watch the Super Bowl! Lastly, our hostess Melanie. Talk about someone making you feel welcome and appreciated! A truly lovely person who made our stay magical. Her upbeat and humorous personality was infectious. She took care of every minute detail of our visit, helping us set up tours and relaxing spa services…always with a smile. We hope to return to Abezza someday to savor all it has to offer but additionally, to visit our new friends!

Abeeza is a special place with a special staff. I would definately get a junior suite. Food is so fresh. Staff values your business. Always looking for ways to help you enjoy the resort and the surrounding area. Did a Alton Ha visit as well. Melanie is a gem.

We stayed at the Abeeza Resort 1 night before heading home. What a perfect way to relax and spend our last day in Belize . Everything was perfect, our driver picked us up at the airport. He was very friendly & knowledgeable of the area. He gave us plenty of information of the area getting to the resort. We were expecting a rougher ride per past reviews. The road was gravel towards the end but not bad at all. We arrived and greeted by Melanie and her staff. We had a beautiful welcome drink & had a tour of the property. Everything is unique & top notch. The resort, pools, spa & food were above my expectations. I highly recommend this resort- it is a treat to be had.

The property was beautiful, and the staff are great! The food was also delicious and the mud massage was wonderful! I also enjoyed the yoga room! I stayed 4 nights and would definitely come back. The overall service was very personable. They did a great job keeping the mosquitoes at bay on the property as well.

We stayed here years ago, under its former name Maruba. This visit, we drove up for a day of pampering in the spa, pools, and restaurant—well worth the drive from Belize City! The resort is absolutely unique and the staff make you feel like you are the only guests. We did the day package, which included two massage treatments, welcome drink, lunch and use of the pools. We added mani-pedis before a delicious lunch with plenty of local flair. The mud massages are a must, and leave your skin feeling super soft and fresh. We followed that with aromatherapy massages for even more relaxation and restoration. Our therapists were fantastic, skilled and friendly, and we loved being able to do our massages together in the same room. We finished up our day with a soak in the warm plunge pool and delicious house made fresh drinks. Know before you go: this is about an hour and a quarter from Belize City and the last twenty minutes will be on partially paved roads. The resort is gated so they will need reservations and to know your arrival time so they can meet you at the gate. If you have trouble reaching them by phone, use WhatsApp to text! We will be back, and we will plan to stay next time.

The spa services at BBRS were simply amazing. I have been lucky enough to visit many spas throughout the world and the 2 ladies who administered services to me and my friend truly had magic hands. (The two lovely Ms M's!) Somewhat of a family run business which also provides many jobs for the nearby village of Maskall, the BBRS Is delightfully unique. The rooms are very clean, the air conditioning was needed for sleeping and it worked well, and the Menu had some diverse and interesting offerings as well as typical fare for Belize. I do not know who is cooking their bread products but they were without a doubt quite excellent. A couple of cautionary comments. You are in the jungle so there might be bugs. They control them very well but I would recommend long pants, something any traveler should take when they enter jungle terrain even when it is in a boutique environment. Also if you are addicted to Wi-Fi and connectivity just note that it's a little bit scarce but it is available. Personally I enjoyed using my phone only to take photographs and it was fun to disengage a little bit more than usual. Due to the remote nature some food offerings may not be available but there are plenty of things from which you can choose. The menu includes vegan and vegetarian options as well as one of the best steaks I've ever had in over 35 years of traveling around Belize. Everyone is very friendly and it is a fun place for a girl's get away which we were on, but I think it would also be a romantic escape for couples, as well as providing a great location for a wellness or yoga retreat. (note that they also have casitas on-site which would be suitable for larger groups traveling together such as a family.) In summary highly recommend as a grest way to see a little bit more of the lovely country of Belize without having to travel too far from the islands if that is your primary location. Note that you can also book your entire Belize experience homebased at the resort and they have the capability to get you out to many other places as well which are all listed on their website. We are so glad we visited!
