Book Crooked Tree hotels

Patting ourselves on the back for booking with Michele and Scott for both ends of our trip to Belize. We arrived late in the afternoon, Scott picked us up from the airport, took us to the store for a few groceries, and recommended local restaurants that would deliver dinner while we relaxed in the gorgeous pool. The next morning, we were rested and ready for our road trip south - Scott took us back to the airport to our rental car, and even showed us a really great place to grab a late breakfast at the airport. On top of all this, we realized we had overpacked with clothes that we wouldn't be able to wear in the heat (even in January it didn't drop below 78 or so at night), and Michele and Scott offered to store one of our extra suitcases since we had booked our last night in Belize with them at the end of our 18 day trip. Amazing! They then referred us to an awesome taxi/shuttle service to get us from the ferry in Belize City back to the Gecko on our last night. Laundry machine is available, all the amenities you need, and lovely hosts. Can not recommend highly enough!!!!!

James was a very polite and a gracious host. He showed us around the property and gave us some very useful info about were to eat and the things to see around Ladyville. He has equipped the 2 bedroom apartment extremely well. Just basically need your clothes and yourself for a quiet relaxing stay. We felt extremely safe on his property and walking the town. The pool and palapa in the back yard was an added bonus. We wished we could have spent more time back there but we can't control the weather! I would highly recommend his place as it is very close to the airport and any excursions can be handled easily from his place. The views from the large balcony were beautiful as well giving us extra space to sun ourselves. 2 couples have more than enough room!

This was our second time staying at Abezza, but it won't be our last! The first time we only stayed a single night, as we were driving around the country ourselves. We were a little unsure of what we would be arriving at, as it's a bit off the beaten path(it's not like you'll wander onto the property off the street in Belize City). It's about an hour drive; very scenic! Our second time we stayed a few nights as a parents getaway, and got to actually enjoy the different pools. We had a hot tub in our room which was very awesome! The food was delicious, the staff were always courteous, and we adore Mel & her family. They're very welcoming and down to earth. The rooms we had were clean, and we didn't experience any issue. I'd highly recommend Abezza (formerly Belize Boutique Resort & Spa) to anyone looking for a relaxing time in nature. My only recommendation would be, try to stay for around 5 nights. You'll have time to do some exploring, but also make sure you aren't off property all day every day because it's so nice to relax doing nothing but enjoying the environment! Can't wait til we return. One thing, make sure you write down their address because Belize immigration will want to know where you're staying at. Apparently it's a true hidden gem because the person we got didn't know what "Abezza, the resort in Maskall" was. We simply showed him the booking info and he made some note and that was that.

The Black Orchid is a beautiful property. The staff was amazing and the grounds stunning. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night, but we enjoyed the pool, grounds, and hearing the howler monkeys was an unexpected treat.

Nice rooms immersed in a wonderful landscape. Clean and personable staff. Not really at a walkable distance from Orange Walk.

Scott was so awesome. He picked us up from the airport, ordered us food from a restaurant that was technically closed due to a Holiday but opened just for us /Scott, drove us to the beautiful VRBO and then made us fresh mango smoothies in the morning. Beds were so comfortable and everything was great! Michelle was out of town but was punctual with communication and made sure we knew what to expect and where to go. Thx guys!!
