Smaller and more intimate than popular resort areas such as San Ignacio and Belize City, the modest capital of Belmopan is nonetheless a vibrant city surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife. Next to the bustling Market Square, Independence Plaza is home to the prime minister's offices, various pedestrian pathways and the National Assembly Building, designed to resemble a Mayan temple. Outside the city lay the spectacular Guancaste Park as well as the astonishing Hummingbird Highway.

Great jungle lodge.
Reviewed By MacKenzie32My family and I stayed here for three nights and had a great time. Just as a heads up, tis lodge is a out 25-30 min from Belmopan. It is a bit secluded and doesn't have other restaurants or stores around. There were two downfalls. 1) The bugs. We were warned and prepared for the bugs, but they are seriously everywhere. We stayed in the River House and somehow bugs managed to get into the house, bathrooms and a few snuck into bed. There is really nothing to be done about the bugs because we were in the rain forest. No stars were taken off because of our visitors. 2) The menu at the restaurant was limited. Each meal had around four to five options, but nothing sounded amazing. Many people have said this restaurant is the best in Belize, but we would disagree. The food was ok. The prices were RIDICULOUS. Here are the positive things about Sleeping Giant: 1) the customer service is amazing. We stayed at the sister resort in Hopkins (Jaguar Reef) and Sleeping Giant has got the customer service down pat. They help with luggage, give you a tour of the grounds and your room. Anything we needed, which wasn't much because most things had already been thought of, they made it happen. Every detail was covered. Umbrellas near the front door, towels at the pool, they called us by name and remembered things about us. 2) the grounds are amazing. I don't know how they do it, but the grounds crew works tirelessly to keep things trimmed and picked up and growing. My kids especially appreciated the ducks, ducklings, bunnies, chickens and turtles. 3) the excursions were great. We did St. Herman's cave and horseback riding. David, our driver answered all of our questions on the way to Herman's Cave. He explained how the day would go and gave tips on what to bring. When we arrived at the cave, we got our equipment from a different company who took us to the cave. After the cave trip, David had water and dry towels waiting for us. We them headed to the Blue Hole, which was really cool. Sharman is the new cowboy for horseback riding. He was very patient with our first time rider who freaked out. She was ready to go on another ride when we were done. The ride is through their orange orchard, into the jungle with a pit stop at the river and then back to the resort. After staying at Jaguar Reef, we realized how great Sleeping Giant was. I would stay there again.

Reviewed By KimberlyCatanoMy family and I love this place!!! It has a beautiful environment, nature hikes, a creek to swim and tube in, yoga platform, hammocks, is in the jungle, you can see so many stars at night, wake up to the birds and fall asleep to the sounds of the night animals. Fresh air all the time. The staff are the kindest sweetest hearted people. The food is delicious. Comfy beds, warm showers. It’s central to many national parks and adventures. And they have a shuttle. I’ve stayed here solo, as a couple and with family and friends for special events. Each time is unique and special. What’s amazing is that they also support Belizean children get an education to help break the poverty cycle. My family, friends and I highly recommend this place.

Small property with a big heart.
Breakfast disaster
Reviewed By Debra CThe room was very dated, very tiny for two beds and the beds very lumpy. No hot water for showering. Breakfast was soooo bad. Coffee took 45 min. The cream was sour ( solid chunks) and the coffeemate was so old/stale is was a solid lump and would not dissolve in the coffee. Over easy eggs were raw, slight whiteness of the egg white, everything came cold, toast, eggs, ham. The breakfast took 68 min to arrive. I could not eat anything, the waitress saw it untouched but did not ask any questions about why.

Horrible experience , terrible management! If you’re thinking of staying here…we suggest you DONT!
Reviewed By RmassaarIf you’re thinking of staying at Kiki Witz …DON’T!! My husband and i had the worst experience and left after only one night. We had booked for 6 nights. I’d love to go into everything that happened or didn’t happen but that would take too much writing. What I can tell you is that the staff is minimal, resort is near empty (I know why) and the management staff is downright rude and have no business being in the hospitality sector. As pretty as it looks, it’s a pretty pathetic resort!
