The Azul Beach Resort was specifically created to bring together the top end of the market with the very exclusive private villa and the very best amenities of a world class resort, and that has been incredibly successful. This can now claim to be the very best Belize resort and the ideal destination for an unforgettable honeymoon in Belize.
This may not be part of your everyday Belize vacation Package, but this is definitely beach front Belize at its very best, and is priced accordingly, but for your money comes sheer quality and exclusivity
Without visiting Ambergris Caye it is very difficult to visualize Azul Resort, but this article will attempt the near impossible in words and pictures.
Imagine a cluster of buildings with two dazzlingly white villas on either side of a round infinity pool, situated on 400 feet of private beach which is lapped by an azure-turquoise sea.
There are only the two villas and possibly the best restaurant in Belize called The Rojo Lounge, which is what makes the Azul Resort possibly the most exclusive if not the best Belize Luxury Resort. The food in the restaurant is innovative and quite superb, with good size portions
The villas are really like a very high class home from home covering of 3000 square feet. They are designed very much on open plan lines and marble tiled, with high ceilings allowing for a second bedroom and bathroom in a gallery style. The villa design has used local hardwoods that are unique to Belize and the design effect is one of total simplicity.
Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the villas is the use of the rooftop as part of the living space of the villa. This includes a built in day bed, a dining area and a Jacuzzi tub with a unique lighting system so it can be used day and night.
Alternatively you can dine out under the stars on the roof after watching the sun set over the mangroves and lagoon drinking a frozen Mojitos.
It is quite difficult to look at the fixtures and fittings without pinching yourself. There is a custom built state of the art Viking kitchen, but with the world class restaurant a few yards away it seems unlikely to say the least that you would ever want to cook. When you add to this Apple computers, 50 inch plasma flat screen TV, and Bose theatre system, then you might understand the sheer quality of your surroundings. In fact the even better news is the restaurant also supplies a private chef service to your villa for that meal on the roof.
Much of this may be reminiscent of other exclusive villas, until you add the hotel touches, such as maid service, room service, tour planning, in fact almost anything and everything you should expect and get from the very best, because that is what the Azul Resort and Villas are.
There is a wonderful combination here of the best of good taste and yet a uniquely casual elegance. Wherever you look there is somewhere comfortable to sit on or lie on to relax. Whether it be a hammock, a sun lounger at the beach, or at the table on the roof, the settee in front of the TV, you will find total relaxation everywhere.
The Azul Villas are a magical combination of tasteful and casual. Wherever you choose to come to rest, there is a welcoming spot which has been designed with comfort and beauty in mind: Under the palapas in a hammock, on a lounge chair at the beach, at a table on the rooftop, sitting at the kitchen table or sprawling on the couch.
One final comment is that the staff of the Azul Resort are both friendly and unobtrusively attentive. They have the great skill of only being there when you want them. They will do everything from great drinks, fantastic room service at the Villa, and fetch and carry you to and from the airport. Their performance is faultless.
The Azul Villas on Ambergris Caye in Belize could be just the ultimate best luxury hotel in Belize, and without a shadow of a doubt the only place to go for your honeymoon in Belize.

Victoria House describes itself as the essence of casual elegance, and because of the small size of the resort, there are only 42 accommodation units, so it could well describe itself as a top class boutique hotel as well.
It was recently rated amongst the world's top 500 best Hotels by Travel and Leisure, and amongst the best places in the world to stay by Conde Naste, who also voted Victoria House in the top ten hotels in Central and South America.
These are strong recommendations and Victoria House doesn't disappoint especially for a beach Honeymoon Vacation, which makes the often heard description of barefoot luxury very apt.
With 9 Deluxe Plantation Rooms, 2 Luxury Plantation Suites, 1 Honeymoon Suite, 10 Thatched Roof Casitas, and 2 Luxury Villas, there will be rooms or suites to suit your taste and your pocket. They are all air conditioned and have great views of either the beach, the lovely tropical gardens which are full of hibiscus and bougainvillea.
All in all Victoria House is a little piece of paradise, a place to escape from the realities of life, which is a first good reason for choosing this lovely boutique hotel for your perfect beach honeymoon vacation destination.
The second good reason is the hotel staff at Victoria House who are very attentive and will respond very positively to whatever request you make. There is also great attention to detail throughout the hotel.
Another is the hotel grounds themselves, apart from the profusion of colour from the tropical plants and flowers, there are two beautiful swimming pools, one of which is an infinity pool. The grounds and the beautiful white sand beach are both kept immaculately well, and the beach, which many feel is the best on Ambergris Caye, is raked every morning. The views of the turquoise/blue/green sea are such that you could lie in a hammock and look at it for hours on end. There are more than enough sun beds around the pool, and lovely fluffy towels in plentiful supply
A very definite reason is the quality of the food in the restaurant. It has the reputation of being one of the best on Ambergris Caye with some justification, and there is a lot of sense in taking one of the meal deals. All meals are excellent, but the menus at dinner are especially unique and almost out of this world. Guests frequently describe the food as amazing.
The rooms and suites are another compelling reason to stay at the Victoria House. The rooms are large, comfortable, with terraces or decks, and you'll get fresh flowers in your room every day. A number of guests feel the Casitas are better than the Plantation Rooms, with a better view.
Victoria House could be the perfect b each honeymoon vacation for the reasons given above. Add to this it seems so quiet and peaceful even when this beachfront hotel is quite full. It is very exclusive, small and probably the best Ambergris Caye resort if you want to getaway from the crowds.
