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.

lovely pools. pretty nature.. and then there are mosquitos. Like everywhere. In your food, room, etc. And the food is not for someone on a low salt diet.. Room was nice except there were palmetto bugs falling from the ceiling and crawling around on the floor. And the drive from the airport is right out of hell.. Huge holes in the road. Other than that it could be fun

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!

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Melanie was such a fantastic host. She and the whole staff treated us with impeccable service and top standard in hospitality. We felt pampered and special on our relaxing vacation. We used the spa treatments and went on a couple sponsored tours. The resort was absolutely gorgeous. Melanie took care of everything for us. We will be back for sure and will bring friends and family with us.
