Excellent stay with great accommodations, food, and service!

Reviewed By Alyssa P

The resort is wonderful! The room was clean and had a great fan and AC. The resort itself was beautiful and unique. We are not birders but loved seeing the Toucan and Parrot on the property (only place in the country we saw any!). The property is stunning. Very safe place to stay. The homemade food prepared for us was delicious! Some of our favorite meals were here. The family was kind and went above and beyond to meet all of our needs including our accommodations, food, drinks, transportation, and arranging COVID tests prior to leaving. I would highly recommend staying here and I would happily come back!

Took the horseback riding package - went on the 1 1/2 hour ride. Guides were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Property is beautiful and lots of trails to ride through. Didn't stay here on the property.

Unforgettable, jungle stay

Reviewed By alwadeca1

This was exactly what we wanted for our trip to Belize! The owners made us feel so welcomed from the start to the end of our stay. We felt like they welcomed us into their family. They taught us the names of the tropical birds flying around the property, toured us through their edible plants, and gave us tips for where to go for great adventures in the surrounding areas, and then set us up with an amazing tour guide for ATM cave. The property is secluded and beautiful and private. The breakfast included fresh, tropical fruits from the local market and banana bread made on the property. We also decided to eat dinner at the property, and ate two yummy, authentic Belizean dinners complete with homemade desserts made using ingredients from the property, and the hosts were super flexible on timing and food requests. Please keep in mind: if you are looking for a hotel stay like in the US, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an unforgettable jungle stay, come here!

Mike!

Reviewed By Aleksandra P

The hotel is situated on the main road near the village centre, which can be reached via a bridge over the river. The room is decent, spacious, with air conditioning and a fan. The bed is big and comfortable, with nice linen. There is an ironing board with an iron, a microwave and - what is important in this heat - a fridge. The bathroom is ok and the shower has warm water. Mike who manages the hotel is very very helpful, kind and caring, he is really great!
