Pricey elegance
8.0My friend and I stayed here 1 night between driving locations in Belize. The gorgeous, meticulously maintained grounds with trickling brooks and fountains, elegant lighting, and multiple paths weaving among lush plants and flowers, provide a sense of privacy and immersion in tropical beauty. *Don't forget to apply mosquito repellant. The room was elegant and exactly like the photos with dark wood cabinets lining the hallway and a mini fridge within. There was a large, comfortable king bed with crisp, clean sheets and a white duvet. The bathroom was large, towels plentiful and absorbent, and the shower was large with a long ledge. The rainfall showerhead was a bit weak, but it worked. There was also a warm plunge pool / spa and a lounge sofa on the large outdoor balcony facing the river and jungle. The entrance had stepping stones over a pond (with chlorine in a cement basin) which continued on the other side of the wall of the entrance corridor, and I suppose could be used as another plunge pool - a small 3.5ft deep area for 1-2 people to stand in if they were so inclined. This area was accessed from the bathroom, an outdoor patio with another lounge area and an outdoor shower. I did not use this outdoor shower, but it was impressive just the same. The Wi-Fi was good, and the A/C in the main space worked well. We explored the little (hikes) on site. The hike up to the gazebo had a bit of incline, and I admit I was huffing and puffing at the end. But the view from the gazebo platforms was beautiful and the breeze felt refreshing. The restaurant was lovely, the food was beautifully presented and delicious.
− CONS: It's a pricey stay, naturally. The bathroom does not have A/C, so it was quite warm and humid. It's beautifully remote - up a mountain, but that means there aren't any off-site restaurants or stores nearby. Reception is extremely friendly, but not very efficient. It would be more expedient if another person worked at reception to check guests in. The parking lot is a bit far from reception and the rooms, so guests are encouraged to stop at reception to unload bags before driving down to the guest parking lot. There aren't any actual parking spaces at reception; however, so the vehicle of the first guest blocks the lane and guests arriving afterward can't park. Having a staff member there to encourage guests to pull forward would help as well as another staff member available to help unload/deliver bags. Both the balcony plunge pool and the backyard piece of a pool...? were filled with warm water. I soaked in the plunge pool that night which felt good after hiking, but it was really too hot and humid outside to enjoy a plunge during the day. *There was a nice pool onsite that may have been more refreshing, but I did not have time to swim in it. None of the accommodations at this resort offer more than 1 bed. The small futon bed was hard and uncomfortable. The short on-site hikes were not a well maintained as they could have been.
Great time with family, beautiful peaceful and relaxing stay
10.0The staff was very professional, friendly and kind. I enjoyed the ambience. I enjoyed the sound of nature the birds, the wind, the ducklings all of it it felt serene.

I will definitely be returning.

Guest review
10.0This is a 11/10 resort. It was absolutely gorgeous!. The grounds and walking trails were beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant served delicious food. I loved everything about this place.
− The bunnies were kept in a small cage.
Gorgeous property and views with lovely staff
9.0Absolutely gorgeous property and views from the Mountain View suite! The front desk, restaurant, and tour staff were very kind and helpful. I loved the design and decor used throughout the check in area and in the rooms. This hotel is in a very special and beautiful location.
− The air conditioning in the rooms could be better / stronger. The water in the plunge pool was hot - it would have been nicer if it was cold water since it was so hot outside. The pool at rainforest needs some work as it’s a bit tired - new lounge chairs could help with this (similar to the nicer chairs at their sister property, the banks).
Nature-lover Satisfaction!
10.0The lush jungle setting with multiple water features, diverse array of native plants, and many species of birds was designed to feel private and quiet. The local staff were delightful and enthusiastic about the property and programs too (despite it being the end of tourist season).
− I loved all of it.
