I could not have walked around because it was a rainy weekend, But the place was amazing. Exactly what I needed.

The property was gorgeous and beautifully maintained. Rooms were beautiful and clean. The outdoor shower was a highlight. Coffee from the in-room espresso machine on my balcony every morning was amazing. Staff was amazing and attentive. I also loved that there was no wifi or TV in the rooms, this truly helped me relax in a way I hadn't anticipated.

Located close to Belmopan, this lodge is still nestled in the middle of the jungle, inviting everyone to immerse in nature while enjoying wonderful service, delicious food, beautiful views, and clean, tastefully furnished rooms. Loved the landscaping, the pristine surrounding, the sustainable management, and the amazing food.

The room we selected, the riverview suite, was extremely overpriced for the value. Unfortunately, as we booked early, we discovered we could have paid 50% less if we waited until last minute to book. The room itself is beautiful, that is without question, and the property has beautiful fauna. However, we were displeased with the level of noise on the property and heard from our room, and our dining experience. The property is pictured as being in a very private and secluded spot. However, it is less than a mile from the highway and the view from our room was looking right at it. Trailer trucks went by regularly and we heard each one of them loudly as their sound carried through the valley. The room is surprisingly poorly soundproofed and, in addition to road noise, we could hear other guests loudly partying outside throughout the night. There is no wifi or TV in the room, and therefore nothing could be done to try and block out the noise. We travel with a white noise machine and even that didn't do it. The food at the hotel is also mediocre at best. Dinner was ok but underwhelming, but breakfast was poor. The coffee was weak and bland, and the food was incredibly disappointing. Also, a resort fee was charged on our bill for each meal, suggesting to us that we were being charged to eat at a property we had already paid a hefty price to stay at, Drinks were ordered at the pool, and after 20 minutes the bartender admitted to forgetting to make them, Overall, we were expecting a much more private, peaceful and gourmet experience especially for what we paid. Thankfully we had spent the rest of our trip at a better property.
,The hotel room itself is lovely, spacious and very clean.

“Beautiful grounds and natural environment, lovely staff with traditional Belizian fare.”
- • Leisure trip

The management is lacking. Our room was changed without our knowledge or consent and we were still charged the same price. We booked a river view suite to hopefully have more opportunities for wildlife viewing and while the room we we put in was very nice, it was not what we wanted and offered no view. We attempted to address and while the staff was sympathetic, management wouldn't speak directly with me and were unwavering. Management even lied to the staff, saying that I had called and changed my room (which I certainly had not) and though I had confirmation on my phone of the "River View Suite" they refused to rectify the situation or even allow me to speak with them on the phone. Also, there were two wood turtles kept in a cement koi pond with no opportunity to exhibit natural behaviors. These are forest species who spend some time in shallow water to forage, but would have both surly perished had they been in this environment for much longer. One animal was already in a state of obvious decline while the other was in obvious distress. We also addressed this.
This is a beautiful resort with access to lovely forest trails. The restaurant is very good and the staff is genuinely wonderful. The grounds are lush and the setting is serene. The hotel is very easy to find with GPS or even just basic directions and the proximity to Blue Hole Park is nice.

We stayed in the mountain view suit which would normally be way out of our budget but we were on our honeymoon so we splashed out and it was well worth it! Amazing room, with beautiful balcony with an infinity pool and hammock. Even better than the photos looked, couldn't have been happier with it!
