Stunning Riverside lodge, family-run (and built!) Miss China, her family and staff plus Clarissa Cookie (the cat) 🐈 made our stay so special. It’s a beautiful location, great food & rooms are comfortable and clean (rustic & authentic lodge) The staff walked us along river with machetes to reach Amazinf Mayan Ruins & we also had great fun tubing on the river. Really appreciates being droppped at the Belize Guatemala border too. 🙏❤️

Chena the owner is very accommodating. The delicious food was very well prepared by Linda. Mark did an excellent job of handling any of our requests. And Gwendolyn was a phenomenal tour guide. My wife has a problem with her left foot and had to wear a boot. They were a very accommodating and helping us in every way possible to meet our needs. If you were looking for a rustic adventure. This is the place for you. The small falls and river behind our private cottage set a soothing and mellow background for our stay.

− The staff and management could not have been better. But we were not expecting quite as rustic cottage as greeted us upon arrival. The floor was exceptionally clean, but unfinished concrete. It was so clean that when my wife spilled some water and wiped it up with a white paper towel, the paper towel retrieved no dirt. The walls were covered with a marble, like covering, and uniform in the bedroom. The bathroom was quite adequate, but no Tile and we're plain white. The most shocking part was no air-conditioning. For the price we paid, we expected air-conditioning. But it proved not to be a a difficulty. There were two fans in the room and the temperature was quite comfortable. There's no TV. The Wi-Fi did not work in our room. We are older and like to go to sleep earlier, so it was not much of an issue. I am taking medication that gives me hot flashes and because it was so quiet and dark I was only awake for a moment or so before drifting off back to a peaceful slumber.

It exceeded all my expectations!

Lovely park like setting. Quiet. The staff are superb, making us feel welcome. The owner and her son are shared stories and were knowledgeable about must see off the beaten path destinations. The food is simple, yet tasty. The fresh juices a must. I will definitely stay here again.

This place is a gem! The three nights we spent at Clarissa Falls were our favorite on our trip to Belize. The resort is owned and operated by Chena, who is a friendly, kind, and attentive hostess. When we arrived, Chena helped us get set up with a trip across the border to Tikal -- and she made it so easy for us! She also gave us some other tour and activity recommendations that were all fantastic. She truly cares for each of the travelers that stay at Clarissa Falls. During our stay, the food was absolutely delicious! Chena and her friendly staff hand-make all of the meals and they are served in a beautiful dining hut right on the river. Hummingbirds sped by while we ate. The property itself if beautiful! It is quiet and peaceful, away from the road and right next to the river. Chena has planted many gorgeous bushes and plants all over the property, making it colorful and clean-looking. She also has lots of chickens, ducks, and geese hanging about with her dog and at least one friendly kitty. (Our kids loved playing with them all!) Our lodgings were right along the river and were rustic. (Yes, we are in Belize, and lodgings pretty much everywhere are very basic. It's part of the charm of Belize!) The beds were pretty comfortable and we all slept well despite not having A/C. Chena has several fans in each room to keep the air circulating at night, but we really didn't need them in January. Plus, the fans drown out the sounds of the wildlife, which we wanted to hear. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

− Nothing.
