I just did.
Reviewed By chadwick566Very friendly, well-organized, and efficient. And beautifully grounds within a beautiful setting with a rich array of bird life and other fauna. It's difficult to think of how a stay at Chaa Creek Lodge might be improved.

Established in 1976, San Ignacio Resort Hotel is a Belizean and family-owned boutique Hotel located in the Cayo District, Western Belize. The Resort is centrally situated on a 17-acre private estate and 5-minutes away of the popular San Ignacio Town—an area that features a variety of cultural, adventurous, and culinary experiences. This characteristic has dubbed the Resort as “the only jungle in town”. The 27-room Resort is renowned for its hospitality services and features the award-winning Running W Restaurant (which showcases meats from the family’s ranch), an on-site tour company (Cayo Gial Tours), in-room wellness treatments, an outdoor swimming pool and tennis court area, the largest event facilities in the District, and the #1 Activity in San Ignacio, the Green Iguana Conservation Project. San Ignacio Resort Hotel has been the recipient of numerous awards including “Hotel of the Year” (2016, 2012), “Restaurant of the Year” (2016), and “Hospitality Award” (2015) from the Belize Tourism Board.
Relaxing, beautiful hotel with great dining
Reviewed By tinkunakamaMy 15 year old daughter and I spent 4 nights here. The room was comfortable, with very good A/C, comfortable beds and clean, spacious bathroom. We ate several meals here, although we'd intended to do more in-town restaurant exploring than we did, because the hotel restaurant was so convenient and delicious. the pool was beautiful and felt great after tours in the heat and humidity. The Green Iguana Project was also worth a visit. The employees were all very courteous and helpful. We booked several excursions through the hotel and although they were slightly more expensive than I could have gotten elsewhere, the tours and guides were exceptional! We especially enjoyed Cruz and Jason - so thorough, knowledgeable, and personable. I could tell I was getting a better experience than other tours around us. I would stay here again and book with Cruz and Jason, for sure.

Great jungle lodge.
Reviewed By MacKenzie32My family and I stayed here for three nights and had a great time. Just as a heads up, tis lodge is a out 25-30 min from Belmopan. It is a bit secluded and doesn't have other restaurants or stores around. There were two downfalls. 1) The bugs. We were warned and prepared for the bugs, but they are seriously everywhere. We stayed in the River House and somehow bugs managed to get into the house, bathrooms and a few snuck into bed. There is really nothing to be done about the bugs because we were in the rain forest. No stars were taken off because of our visitors. 2) The menu at the restaurant was limited. Each meal had around four to five options, but nothing sounded amazing. Many people have said this restaurant is the best in Belize, but we would disagree. The food was ok. The prices were RIDICULOUS. Here are the positive things about Sleeping Giant: 1) the customer service is amazing. We stayed at the sister resort in Hopkins (Jaguar Reef) and Sleeping Giant has got the customer service down pat. They help with luggage, give you a tour of the grounds and your room. Anything we needed, which wasn't much because most things had already been thought of, they made it happen. Every detail was covered. Umbrellas near the front door, towels at the pool, they called us by name and remembered things about us. 2) the grounds are amazing. I don't know how they do it, but the grounds crew works tirelessly to keep things trimmed and picked up and growing. My kids especially appreciated the ducks, ducklings, bunnies, chickens and turtles. 3) the excursions were great. We did St. Herman's cave and horseback riding. David, our driver answered all of our questions on the way to Herman's Cave. He explained how the day would go and gave tips on what to bring. When we arrived at the cave, we got our equipment from a different company who took us to the cave. After the cave trip, David had water and dry towels waiting for us. We them headed to the Blue Hole, which was really cool. Sharman is the new cowboy for horseback riding. He was very patient with our first time rider who freaked out. She was ready to go on another ride when we were done. The ride is through their orange orchard, into the jungle with a pit stop at the river and then back to the resort. After staying at Jaguar Reef, we realized how great Sleeping Giant was. I would stay there again.

Gaia Stay
Reviewed By Anna GThis place is stunningly beautiful! Love the easy access to the waterfall and love the attention to detail by the staff. I’ve travelled to many places and loved them but the Gaia staff truly gives you the care and attention. When we first arrived to Belize airport, we were met by Darrel and he is so knowledgeable in all things Belize, Gaia, and the culture. While the drive to Gaia was a little long, we stopped at a local convenience store where he introduced to us, plantain chips with ketchup. That was an interesting combo but surprisingly good. To mention the roads to Gaia, all were paved except for maybe the last 10 minutes. During COVID, I believe the roads were paved and so there are no pot holes and crazy gravel other than the last few minutes of the drive. Once we arrived to Gaia, we were met by Kobi and we complimentary fruit juice mixed with rum (super yummy!). Normally, when met by staff at other hotels, you’re rushed to check in and get to your room. At Gaia, we were given time to eat lunch and see the overlook of the Five Sisters waterfall before checking in. Once we were checked in, we were led to our rooms and the landscape is well kept and gorgeous. Luckily where we stayed, wifi reached our room. Originally, I did not think we had wifi in our rooms but maybe they all reach the rooms now. Lunch and dinner is delicious but a little pricey so be prepared for the cost. I would say all the food is freshly made and fruits and veggies are from their garden which is organically grown. We met their gardener, Sam, and wow did he blow my mind with all the gardening tricks and new plants I can grow. I would definitely recommend trying at least one cocktails at Gaia as they are uniquely made for Gaia so you most likely won’t find it anywhere else. The rooms were packed with towels for shower, towels for the waterfall, extra soft blankets, big spray, umbrella, and of course, all the bathroom necessities. I believe all the soap, shampoo, and conditioner were locally made and smell like menthol so if you don’t like that smell, bring your own! Overall, our experience at Gaia was great, we definitely felt safe and comfortable with such friendly staff. Oh as for excursions, we did the Mayan cultural tour and ATM cave, which I recommend the latter. If you want a jungle feel, Gaia is your place but be aware of the $ cost to meals and yours since there’s no other restaurant in the area, unless you have a car. Shout out to Loreni, Nigel, Calvert, Lucy, Darrel, Azel, Chris (great magician), and the rest of the staff for taking care of us.
5. Blancaneaux Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 621 reviews
In the early 1980s, Francis Ford Coppola visited Belize, immediately fell in love with the location, and purchased the abandoned Blancaneaux Lodge. For more than a decade the resort was used as a family retreat before Francis opened his tropical paradise to the public in 1993. Tucked away in a pocket of the Maya Mountains, Blancaneaux Lodge is a 20-room luxury resort where waterfalls tumble into turquoise pools above the jungle canopy. Its remote mountain setting makes it a perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
Best hotel experience we’ve had
Reviewed By KyraccCan’t say enough amazing things about this place! Everyone was so nice and kind. We had so much fun on our excursions from sunset horseback riding to Thai massages. They knew us on a first name basis and made us feel at home. Can’t wait to come back again!

Singin’ Sweet Songs
Reviewed By journeemylesFriendly staff that remember you after the first meeting. Thank you, Rita! I was there with 3 teen boys and they literally thought of the staff as family and the grounds as home by the end of our 4 days. We took the ATM Cave tour and the Xunantunich Ruins by horseback, leaving an entire day to tube, canoe and relax by the pool and on our treehouse hammock. One issue we had was with their booking agent trying to charge us an up fee on transportation. We had the all inclusive package and before we left for our trip they tried to charge me for transportation from the airport. I got that taken care of and then they did it again when we left. Thank goodness I had my confirmation emails where they clearly stated what was included with all of my details. Thankfully the front desk knew what they were doing was wrong and helped us clear it up. I’m sure it’s because the cost of gas has gotten so high, so be careful! The rooms are dark, so bring a reading light if you like to read in bed. The beach at the river is beautiful, but rocky, so bring water shoes. Bug spray.

Want stress and tears? Cassia Hill is the resort for you!
Reviewed By 831siobhanfWe booked a stay at Cassia Hills Resort March 2022. We read the positive reviews and expected our stay to be wonderful instead of stressful and tearful. Here are some of the lowlights. We pre-arranged a taxi through Cassia Hills to pick us up at the San Ignacio Town Airstrip – 4 miles away. The driver charged $100 USD and demanded payment in cash. Cassia Hills receptionists AND co-owner confirmed the cost. Multiple local taxi drivers said the standard charge is $15 USD. About an hour after check-in, we learned that the restaurant was closing and not opening until Friday at noon. They didn’t tell us that we were the ONLY people at the resort when we checked in. We were charged full price. The only refreshment/food available to us was the water at our room and that was not even enough. We had to buy more water in town, which required a walk to reception, waiting 20 minutes for a taxi to arrive, and then taking a 10-minute drive into town. We paid for a resort but where were the amenities? We didn’t get breakfast for the tour they set up for us at 8am in the morning. We spoke with the receptionist and the co-owner multiple times. They did nothing for us. If you face horrors like this in Belize, contact the Belize Tourism Board immediately.
