Highlights included excursions with Kris, naturalist guide extraordinaire, whose expert knowledge of flora and fauna, combined with a flair for conveying that knowledge with warmth, humor, respect, and compassion make him among the top seven guides I've experienced in my lifetime; scrumptious meals (don't miss the homemade corn and flour tortillas, super fresh pico de gallo, Belizean specialities, fresh-squeezed juices, and granola), served by most personable, kind, and good-humored staff, in a quiet intimate setting; swimming in a fresh water pool, complete with waterfall; and watching the endangered ocellated turkeys, especially the male's mating ritual.

SwitzerlandLocation was amazing and the cottage was lovely (bathroom was huge!). We appreciated all the opportunities to learn more about the area and the flora and fauna. Guides were excellent.
United States of AmericaAn incredible lodge in the midst of a former Mayan civilization. WIldlife, mammals and birds, everywhere and we even saw a crocodile. It was luxury in the jungle and the most peaceful spot we've been in in years, and we travel often!
United States of AmericaBooked Chan Chich Lodge specifically because of its location in a wildlife preserve. Loved being surrounded by the jungle. Saw wildlife everywhere. Enjoyed having superb naturalists on hand to lead walks and they were clearly passionate about wildlife and Chan Chich.
United States of AmericaFrom the moment we arrived every moment was so lovely. The attention to detail is amazing (tea served when we arrived that had a local herb that can calm you travel tummies), great food served on beautiful dishes, and a great jungle bar with lots of beer! But what sets apart this lodge is the people who work there and the beautiful setting. Everyone cares so deeply about the commitment to the community - the sustainability of the environment and care of the Mayan culture. We went horseback riding and it was amazing - they even took the time to bring my daughter out for an hour by herself so she could ride at an advanced level to us. A favorite moment was when one of the staff went looking for my young adult children to show them some of the animals in the wild that were out.
United States of AmericaIt is truly an execptional place. the location right in the middle of the jungle is awesome. we were able to see monkeys, birds, deers all over theplace. Monkeys came to visit us daily right above our room. the amenties are great, very comfortable. the staff was very friendly and helpful, did every possible thing to make our stay pleasant and make sure we make the most out of it.
