Maruba is a great resort and probably one of the nicer places in Belize. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The main dining and bar area are a little tacky with black lights and a little too much leopard skin print, but generally the place is nice. This resort is in in the jungle and there isn't much else in the area it will take at least an hour to get to other destinations. You will rely on the resort for food and expeditions unless you have a rental car, but they do both well, it just limits your options and will cost a little more.
