Jacinto Ville Vacation Packages

Villa Massis is a hidden gem. The room was beautiful and immaculately clean. The deck, pool area and gardens are gorgeous. Mel is an amazing hostess and chef who met my gluten free needs. Larry, our friendly host is extremely knowledgeable about the treasure that is Belize.

We enjoyed our time at the property and I personally would live there at the property. :-) The only things that drove me crazy was the grime and rust around the sink and all the mosquitos in the area. Couldn't enjoy the pool because the bugs kept on biting. You are literally attacked by them as soon as you walk out the door. Couldn't swim at the beach because of the seaweed, but there were people attempting to clean it up but you cant control the sea. Also, the location of the property is located in Mexico Rock and about 45 minutes - 1 hour on a golf cart from the water taxi in san Pedro and depending on the weather conditions. Please take that into account when going. Secret beach is about 20-30 minutes by golf cart. Please purchase food in town before coming in as there are no markets and very limited food options in the area. Overall, I would recommend if you want something quiet, secluded, and away from the hustle of the city.

The resort is located a 5-min boat ride away from San Pedro and the resort provided a boat service that was always available at 15-20 mins notice, and the boat captain was highly responsive and helpful, even showing us specific shops in San Pedro that we needed, so we didn't get lost. The housekeeping was excellent and attentive. The manager was highly communicative, proactive and responsive for all requests. The food and cocktails at the Aruna resort restaurant were really excellent. They really go the extra mile with the special cocktails and the brunch in particular was superb. The rooms were comfortable with efficient air conditioning and TV with internet access, and the wifi signal was strong. The location is great for trips to San Pedro, Secret Beach, snorkeling or fishing. All the staff were polite, friendly, helpful and highly attentive. Overall a great place to stay.

We stayed in the Barracuda bungalow. It was perfect—one bedroom, full kitchen, covered deck, adequate WiFi, quiet, powerful a/c, plenty of space—for what we needed. Space is maximized at BV, so the bungalows are pretty tight but neither noise nor traffic were a problem. Food was good, drinks were great. Staff really couldn’t be any better. They’re friendly, helpful & always available. There is no beach, but rather a long pier. Be sure to take advantage of the free kayak. You will need a golf cart if you plan on spending any time in San Pedro (which you should). Some might see this as an inconvenience, but I really enjoyed driving around town, immersed in the hustle & bustle. Navigation, from the south end of the island all the way to Secret Beach was not a problem, even w/o mobile service.

Clean and convenient access to the beach area in San Pedro. Nightlife and restaurants within walking distance. Welcoming and helpful staff. I would go back.
