Falling Leaves Lodge

Falling Leaves Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Very kind and helpful! Right next door to Cahal Pech so ruins are within steps from the hotel property. The food was great! Breakfast and dinner especially the lobster 5 stars! All staff was helpful and friendly! Loved Genesis and Paula was there anytime we needed her. The pool and hot tub were beautiful! The property in itself is beautiful and natural. My bag broke when I arrived and they fixed it for me asap."

Ka'ana Resort

Ka'ana Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Staying at Ka'ana Resort was a relaxing and peaceful experience. Immediately upon arrival, I noticed the lush gardens. The hotel and property are kept immaculately, and the amenities provided everything I was looking for in a resort. The pool and spa are at the heart of the resort, and there are two firepits for evening s'mores. The staff is very welcoming and attentive, and they offered excellent recommendations for activities during my stay. My partner and I enjoyed the Mayan abdomen massage by Anisa and Nuri. It was relaxing and restorative. Having a suite with a private plunge pool is the way to go. It is a romantic sanctuary and the best way to experience this resort as a couple. The food is absolutely amazing. With an organic garden on site, the ingredients are fresh and delicious. I will definitely be returning to Ka'ana next time I am in Belize. Highly recommended."

Drift Inn Cayo

Drift Inn Cayo

10/10 Excellent
"We recently stayed in the family room and had a wonderful experience. The room was very spacious and included three beds—two doubles and one king—which made it perfect for a family. The bathroom and shower were also noticeably larger than those in the standard room we stayed in during our previous visit. Another benefit is that the family room is located on the opposite side of the building from the pool and patio bar. The pool area can get a little lively on weekend evenings, although the music and activity do quiet down later at night. We also really enjoyed the new menu at Chef’s Patio. It offers a great variety of options, including appetizers, breakfast, burgers, Belizean dishes, pasta, and other lunch and dinner choices. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and homemade. They were out of a few items during our visit, but there were still plenty of delicious options to choose from. The seating is outdoors under a large covered area, so it can feel warm, and bringing bug spray is definitely a good idea. The staff was courteous, friendly, and welcoming, with the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere you would expect in Belize. This was our second time staying here, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. We look forward to returning again!"
