Loved the bird watching

We enjoyed the visit. The hiking on the property was lovely and I enjoyed the community meals while watching the birds. Our cabin was small and rustic, but was pretty clean.

The whole place was amazing! The cabins were bare bones but clean and cute. We had a porch in the back right by the rainforest, but wished there had been comfy chairs to sit on instead of a small, hard bench. The bathrooms were clean with some interesting insect life to observe while sitting there. Showers were hot and good pressure. The Toucan Cafe up front was superb - we ate every meal there. There is comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Fridge and coffee maker are available for guests. There is also a biology-oriented library that also had some interesting travel guides for Belize, a gift shop, and a lab where the researchers work. The staff was super helpful with all the questions we had. The grounds are large, with orchards containing a variety of fruit trees, and there are some nice hiking trails. One goes to a "swimming hole" on a creek that is not deep enough to swim in but certainly wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. We used the cabin as a base and only had to drive 20 minutes to the Inland Blue Hole and river kayaking, and 15 minutes to Billy Barquedier National Park where there is a short hike to a waterfall. There are several restaurants nearby on the Hummingbird Hwy, as well as an ice cream shop.

You are surrounded by the jungle The only thing I didn't like was it was to close to the highway so you could hear the trucks

TREES is a wonderful stopover as a good jumpoff point if you're new to Belize or if not, then one can still make cool connections here. It's a place that is hip where usually something exciting is happening. Whether it's a nighttime excursion or just a movie night. Their buffet on request is spectacular & they love to jam as a band for those music ears in the audience or those who want to let loose. They do have small snacks for sale that they sell at the market too! There is definitely a family vibe here with tons of animals to see and the land is fenced in for your pet which makes it super safe and peaceful.

Not quite the experience we planned

This is an eco-lodging/ foundation. We elected to stay here because they run environmental programming in the local forest/ jungle. We had a 9 y.o. With us. However, we came during low season and staff was on vacation. So, no programs. The cabin was very nice but we were 5 so we, the couple, were planning to sleep in the back room. However, we brushed off critters and debris from the bed. It turned out the back room was not well sealed. In order to have a peaceful sleep, we ended up moving the mattress to the living room and slept there. The potential while staying here is good. Very lovely area. We just hit it wrong. Nice breakfast service at the restaurant.
