The location of Villa Massis is brilliant, just a little outside of San Ignacio but close enough to pop into town for dinner and perfect for all the incredible attractions nearby. The grounds are lovely, you feel like you’re in the jungle in the beautifully maintained gardens and the pool is divine. The property feels really new and well kept and we were extremely comfortable in our two-bed, two-bath unit; everything was pristine and we didn’t miss a thing.

Larry is a fountain of knowledge on all things Belize (he’s written a book about it) and gave us really great and helpful tips on what to during our four days in San Ignacio, ensuring we made the absolute most of our time. Which we did.

Mel had the most amazing dinner ready for us on our first night when we arrived really late and the breakfast was different and delicious every morning.

We have only good things to share about Villa Massis and its owners. Belizean hospitality at its best! read less

We got back from Belize and spent our first few days on the west side of the country. I was worried about where to stay and came across this resort and took a chance based upon other reviews. I have to say that we were so happy that we chose this place to base ourselves out of while in the San Ignacio area.

Larry, Mel and all of the rest of the gang were so great and helpful. Larry has a wealth of knowledge (literally, wrote the book) on all things Belize.  He sat down and took the time to write out a complete itinerary for us and made sure we saw the best of the area.  This included the ATM cave, Rio pools, caves, ruins, waterfalls among other things.

Mel cooked us some superb meals and demonstrated her top notch kitchen skills.  Our  tasty breakfast was ready every morning to kickstart our day and our Belizean dinners were all prepped and ready no matter what time we got back from exploring the country.

The rooms had everything we could ask for and the Belizean art made it extra special.    Only regret was that we were so busy that we didn’t get to hang out around their new pool.  We can’t say enough good things about this place and would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you to Villa Massis for making my kids first experience in Belize a wonderful one. We will definitely be staying with you all in the future. read less

We started our honeymoon trip to Belize here in a quaint area near San Ignacio in Bullet Tree Falls. The Villa is really its own oasis nestled in the village and the staff is awesome. The room was huge, well thought out, with no detail left out. Bed was very comfy. They make you feel like family here, and are so friendly. We mostly interacted with Larry the owner and his sisters Melanie and Amini. Larry was always down for a good chat and helped us plan our days out to maximize our time in Belize. He can also help you book tours, taxis, etc. I suggest renting a car if you stay here so you can do things at your own pace. The restaurant and bar onsite were also lovely. We ate one dinner in town and regretted it because the food at the villa was so much better. The pricing for food and drink was also extremely reasonable. Ps-you must try the fry jacks for breakfast. I would 100% stay here again if we come back and would recommend this place to a friend over and over. read less
