Villa Massis Luxury Villas

Room was beautiful and comfortable. Bed and pillows excellent. Pool well maintained. Staff knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Overall, great hidden jewel.

This place is a little paradise . Tucked back into a quaint little secluded area along the river . Nice way to unwind and relax . The staff was amazing : Lucy is on top of everything in dining room and super sweet . Allen is in charge of security and planned a lovely river tubing trip and activities around property. Elvin was magically energetic bartender crating great drinks during our stay.

Nothing . We loved it

Villa Massis was as close to luxury as you can get in the Cayo District and still feel like you are on an adventure. From the private shuttle from the airport to the hotel, every staff member who knows your name, private round trips into San Ignacio and the food and cocktail selection, it was more than we expected. The hotel is located in Bulletree Falls which is about a 10 minute drive to San Ignacio which we were driven to each morning for our cave tubing and ATM tour with MayaWalks (highly recommend). We had breakfast each morning at Villa Massi which varies in local to more classic America/European selections. Reasonably priced and delicious. We did not eat lunch or dinner at the hotel but other guests said it was very good although very much priced like food in the US ie entree for $23US D etc. The highlight was the bar where Elton makes amazing craft cocktails with local fruits like hibiscus, dragonfruit and spices as well as classics like rum punch. They were worth every penny. The hotel was about to open a river side bar which looked incredible and we were sorry to miss the opening. The rooms were spotless, modern, and very comfy. We spent an evening on our balcony in the hammock listening to the wildlife and it was truly magical. We saw and heard howler monkeys, a gibnut and hummingbirds.

This is not a bad thing, but it is a very small resort so we got to know the other 4 guests/couples quickly. There is not a lot to do outside of the resort since it’s in a smaller town near San Ignacio. It was entirely safe when we decided to walk to a local pasty shop and grocery store and checked out a town fair on Saturday evening, but it’s not walkable to San Ignacio so we paid $26USD round trip to be dropped off and picked up each day in San Ignacio. It was very easy to text message the hotel and have someone find us in town. San Ignacio didn’t have a lot going on so it turned out to be a nice thing after a long day of activity to return to the peace often hotel and Bullettree Fall. We got to see a lot of local life because of it.

The food was outstanding. The location is close to many popular destinations
