This is the place, cool vibe and chill!
From the moment we arrived at Maruba resort we knew we made the right choice of where to stay in Belize. This place is so amazing, we loved everything about our stay. When we arrived we were greeted with a delicious rum punch served in a coconut cup, which made check in a breeze. We immediately were made to feel welcome and treated so well that we felt right at home. This all continued when we were led to our loft which was furnished with the most beautiful furniture and thoughtful touches like the slippers left on giant palm leaves by the bed (not kidding this is really what they do!). My daughter couldn’t get over it and I have to say it’s a mother/daughter trip that neither one of us will ever forget.
This place is so amazing – everywhere you look you can see different artistic touches that let you know that the owners truly care about every detail. It’s almost like staying in a work of art in the middle of nowhere/the jungle. The Mayan Loft that we stayed in was the most romantic place and even though I was on a trip w my daughter, I can’t wait to go back again with my husband. This place was huge and beautiful and the photos even though they are great, don’t begin to do it justice. The floor is an artistic mosaic of crafted tile and mahogany beams soar overhead.
When we left our loft (which we almost never wanted to do!) we found all these lush jungle paths all over the resort which lead to different areas including pools, a Japenese tub, the spa and restaurant.
We really went to Belize to get away from it all and chill out, however we were pleasantly surprised to find a wonderful spa at this property – so we indulged in a massage and 2 other body treatments that were on par w those I’ve had at some top places in big cities. The resort offers all kinds of tours which ultimately focus on getting into the surrounding nature and history of the Mayan people so our trip to the ruins and our snorkeling adventure from the resort and back certainly did not disappoint. This is one of the most adventurous and memorable places I have ever stayed in my life and I cannot recommend it highly enough!!! 5 stars and more!!!
