Crooked Tree Vacation Rentals

"Absolutely LOVELY bungalow ... and LOVELY hosts! I can't say enough good things about this property -- it's an oasis! Wonderfully designed, meticulously detailed, truly an escape. Very secure, safe, and private. We only stayed one night -- a very convenient location near the Belize City airport -- but we would have been happy to stay much longer! I am certain that if/when I return to Belize, a stay at this bungalow will be included as part of the vacation! (We stayed 7 days in Hopkins Bay, not in Belize City ... so just needed 1 night at Gecko before flying out.) Thank you, Gecko, Michelle, and John! Can't wait to return ... "

"The hotel was amazing! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious. The views of the river from our balcony were spectacular. And, it just felt so peaceful sitting at the outdoor palapa-style restaurant/bar, enjoying the quiet air, listening to the birds, and having fun watching for our crocodile friend in the river, lol! We were in room 1A which was on the lower level, closest to the restaurant. It had a nice corner view of the river, just lovely. The bed was comfortable and we had hot water (as opposed to our neighbors who claimed they never got hot water in their shower, so I guess we lucked out!). We booked the Lamanai Mayan Ruin tour through the hotel. They picked us up at their dock right at the hotel which was super convenient in that we didn't have to get transportation to the pick-up spot. The Orange Walk town is about a 10 min drive from the hotel, but the staff was able to get us a taxi to the town so that was a fun day checking out the main town. The ONLY issue I had was the shower situation. It was a smallish corner-style shower with no door or curtain, so water would get all over the bathroom floor after we showered. It made a mess and we had to be careful not to slip on the wet floor after showering. Other than that, everything was great, and we would definitely come back to this hotel!"

"Michelle and Scott are wonderful hosts! The bungalows are conveniently located near the international airport, and the free shuttle service is a huge bonus. Our family of five stayed comfortably in two bungalows, which offered the older kids their own space. Michelle and Scott are understandably proud of the property they have created that checks every box to make guests feel welcome and comfortable, including an amazing pool, sound system, lights, comfortable beds . . . Charming details are everywhere to make you smile. Thank you Michelle and Scott! "

"Check in was a breeze! James was great about explaining the workings of the condo. Very friendly with loads of helpful information."

"We spent four nights in the amazing tree house overlooking the Belize River. The beautiful swinging Howler Monkeys were right outside the house only feet away. They can be noisy neighbors but the are so worth it! The hosts are amazing and do everything possible to make this a jungle home away from home. Their pool is fantastic. Relaxing to take a dip in the pool since it’s crocodile free, unlike the river in the other side of the house. Truly made memories that will last a lifetime. "

"The staff is very kind and a pleasure to talk and visit with. "

"Our stay at Abezza was fantastic and everything was amazing. We stayed for 3 nights, and Melanie was a great host. The food was delicious, and the Spa is world class. Highly recommend getting a mood mud massage. 10/10 would recommend staying here and I will definitely be booking another trip here in the future! "

"I was floored when I saw the outside of the property and speechless upon going in. Everything about this place was so perfect I cannot begin to explain how staying here made our trip exceptional. It was so clean, homey, comfortable, everything you'd want in a vacation home. Communication was also super easy and quick, I cannot wait to be back"

"Clean and pleasant. Great pool and common area. Nice accommodations. Not much to do around the area. Perfect for those who stay on site or open to traveling distance for the day. "
