Azul Resort

Azul Resort Review

This resort has only two beach villas, but what beach houses they are! The two-level, 3,000-square-foot, two-bedroom villas on 10 private acres of beachfront have an open floor plan, 20-foot ceilings, and beams of mylady wood. Custom kitchens have Viking appliances, and the stunning cabinets and most of the furniture are made of Belize's beautiful ziricote wood. Each villa has a 50-inch plasma flat-screen TV and a Bose home-theater system. On the rooftop, you can laze in the hot tub or sunbathe in delicious privacy, with amazing views of the barrier reef. There's a gorgeous circular infinity pool, and the hip Rojo Lounge is next door. Owners Jeff and Viv, manager Fin, and the Azul and Rojo staff bend over backwards to make your stay memorable. Rates (BZ$2,000 double) include fabulous meals plus drinks and tax. If money isn't an object, you can transfer from Belize City to Azul by Astrum helicopter.
