Corozal District Holidays

We had the best time here. The hosts, Shanna and Kenny were great, super responsive and very helpful with planning things to do. Ernesto, one of the drivers was also fantastic and super helpful. The locals and neighbors around the house were very friendly. A grocery store was located near by and we were able to get most of what we needed to make our meals. Dee has a small bar next door and a small shop where you can get some basics. Dee was so friendly. A Howler Monkey troop came right onto the property one of the days and they were fun to watch. Another Howler Monkey troop spends most of its time across the street at Lloyd’s. Lloyd was happy to allow us on his property to check them out. The accommodations were great. There was a washer and dryer on site that worked well. We did not want to leave and we will definitely be back!

Mariposa Jungle Lodge is the perfect place for a special occasion or weekend getaway. The staff is super hospitable and are very willing to answer any questions and accomodate any requests that you have. The food is top notch and the grounds are very well kept. I would highly recommend Mariposa for a 10/10 experience.

The boat ride to and from the island was horrendous due to the choppy water and speed. I don't like the fact that it's misleading information on the website that's it's on the beach. It's not on the beach. If you want the beach you will have to pay extra for an excursion. The service was lacking, inconsistent with our morning coffee. 1 morning forgot the spoon and the splendid. The 2nd day forgot the splendid. The food was low par for a 4–5-star hotel or resort. No food choices available for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was good because we had choices. I would not consider this a resort but a hotel on an island. Bartender was unfriendly. No private seating for meals but rather all together. We chose the Cabanas because the picture showed a beautiful turquoise water feature instead it was murky and had an odor of swamp water. On our walk around the island in one direction, it was the poor side which included trash, debris and abandoned buildings, heavy vegetation and looked more like a habitat for iguana's. On the other side were seashore properties that were more kept but other areas in different states of construction or deconstruction by vegetation accumulated by trash and debris that was washed up on the shore. There was nothing scenic about it. The price we paid we could have gone to an all-inclusive resort with everything included. The lady who cleaned the rooms and manager were very nice and efficient. The excursions were great and worth the money. 3/5 on a scale of 5.

We loved staying at the Villa Massis! They have created a piece of paradise. The room was perfect and comfortable, air conditioning was great, the pool was refreshing after busy days of tours. They served yummy food options and were attentive to details. Their new riverside bar area with a deck and steps down to the river is a fun and gorgeous setting. I would highly recommend staying here. They are about 10 minutes outside of town but close to restaurants and shops. They provide a lot of services on the property. Lucy was really great and helped us out with whatever we needed and Jason also made sure we were attended to and having a good time. You can book tours directly through them as well.
