"Stayed one night before leaving Belize. Love the family atmosphere. Jungle vibes with monkeys, butterflies, river and birds around. Food and staff are amazing. Thank you"
"Our stay at Jaguar Creek in Belize was absolutely exceptional. The property is beautifully nestled in the heart of lush tropical jungle, creating a peaceful and immersive experience surrounded by nature. One of the highlights was the crystal-clear river that runs through the property, where we enjoyed relaxing tubing right from the resort.
The staff made our stay even more memorable. Everyone—from the front desk to the full-service dining and bar team—was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The food and drinks were excellent, and the hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
The location is perfect for exploring Belize's incredible natural beauty. It's conveniently close to Belmopan and Cayo, with easy access to attractions like the Blue Hole National Park. There are countless opportunities for hiking, kayaking, tubing, and other outdoor adventures, making it an ideal destination for both relaxation and exploration.
If you're looking for a place that combines stunning jungle scenery, exceptional service, and easy access to some of Belize's best adventures, Jaguar Creek is a fantastic choice. We can't wait to return."
"We had an incredible stay at Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell the team takes immense pride in it, as the grounds were constantly being meticulously maintained.The staff truly made our trip unforgettable. Every single employee was incredibly friendly and consistently went out of their way to be helpful. They made our logistics effortless, taking care of everything from seamless transportation arrangements to setting up our daily excursions.After a long day out in the Belizean heat and humidity, coming back to our room was a dream. The accommodations were spotlessly clean and wonderfully cool, providing the perfect, refreshing environment to rest and recharge.When it came to dining, the on-site restaurant was very good. We absolutely loved the breakfasts and dinners every day. The only minor critique is that the pizza was just average, but that wasn't an issue at all because their sister resort, The Belize Collection's The Banks, had outstanding food that we highly recommend trying.Overall, an amazing experience with top-tier service. We would absolutely stay here again!"
"Don’t give it another thought- book your stay at The Banks! I promise you won’t regret it! Beautiful property with no detail spared- Our family of four stayed at The Banks at the end of May for 3 nights and we wished we could have extended our stay. We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom villa on the river, the rooms were beautiful and spacious, very clean and we loved the outdoor showers. We also had our own plunge pool that was definitely larger than your average plunge pool. Humo, the restaurant onsite was delicious and had several options to choose from. We also visited the Sleeping Giant for dinner one evening and had wonderful pizza at Donatos. At The Banks we enjoyed kayaking down the Sibun River, riding bikes, and hiking. We rented a car from the BZE airport which I would highly recommend- this made it easy and convenient to take days trips- we visited St. Herman’s cave and did their tubing tour, the Blue Hole national park (amazing), Armenia (a local village nearby, we ate lunch at Hibiscus), and drove to the Mayan ruins- Xunantunich.
Special thanks to Gianni- our amazing bartender-he went above and beyond, Jessica the manager- she was so sweet and always asked about our day, and Jair one of our servers.
10 out of 10 recommend The Banks- you will love it!"
"Perfect stay for 4 travellers for 2 nights. Wasn’t large or fancy but suited our needs for the short stay, especially when we spent the day exploring and didn’t need to stay in the room. The owner/manager was absolutely helpful."
"We felt like we were whisked away to China at Joyce Garden! Everything from the beautiful grounds, delicious dining at Green Pandan, to feeling safe and relaxed! Joyce and her family are very welcoming and kind! We can’t wait to go back!"
"Very clean and well equipped. We were on the third floor. The steps are quite steep and a little precarious for older folks. No elevator so forget bringing your suitcases up if you’re staying for just one night. But it’s a nice large well equipped apartment."
