"I had the pleasure of staying at the Mystic River Resort in Early June and the whole experience has made me fall in love with Belize. The property is immaculately maintained and incredibly clean, my room was upgraded free of charge which included a plunge pool on the balcony which definitely added to the experience !. The property overlooks the Macal river which adds an ethereal vibe to the whole experience and is surrounded by a myriad of varying wildlife. The staff really re-defined amazing hospitality for me, they were both kind and always went the extra mile whenever required no ask was too big or too small and they are true credit to the establishment, service was always presented with a smile and their was no forceful upselling and everything was done in a kind and appreciative manner. The food was also something out of this world with a selection of Belizean, American and both Mayan and Garifuna food available. The excursions on offer were also varied and exciting and health and safety was always prioritized and they were easy to book onto. I truly miss seeing the humming birds at breakfast flying in and out of the restaurant and the sound of the river and the toucans in the evening. Overall it has re-defined what true hospitality and experience means to me and have thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience so much so I cannot wait to return !."
"When we arrived we were met by Leo who was our contact for the entire stay. He was our bartender, waiter, and tour guide. Leo made our vacation memorable, he went above and beyond. The resort was beautiful and all the employees where friendly and did everything to make sure we were comfortable and happy. When we go back to San Ignacio we will be staying at this resort again. The food was amazing."
"We recently stayed at Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge, and it was truly the highlight of our entire trip. If you love nature, luxury, and tranquility, this place is paradise.
I have to start with the culinary experience because the food was absolutely excellent! Every single meal was outstanding and a massive highlight of our stay. We even took a cooking class with the Chef Kenron, which was incredibly informative and interesting. We ended up making a truly delightful peanut soup that we won't soon forget!
The property itself is breathtaking, beautifully maintained, and incredibly secluded. It really feels like a hidden sanctuary. The hiking trails are stunning, with Butterfly Falls being an absolute standout. We hiked out to the falls, jumped into the crisp water, and spent hours swimming and relaxing. It’s an unforgettable experience.
Our room was always spotlessly clean, comfortable, and a welcoming retreat after a long day of exploring. We also loved the thoughtful daily touches—having complimentary fresh cookies, coffee, tea, and water waiting for us every day made us feel so well taken care of.
If you are looking for a secluded, nature-filled getaway with top-tier service and phenomenal food, look no further. We cannot recommend Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge enough!

"This place was beautifully maintained and had a lot to do. Staff was incredible and very helpful. Food was good and reasonably priced. Gorgeous property. Room was very clean."
"This is the most amazing place I've stayed at. The ENTIRE staff was terrific from begging to end. My wife had the best massage she's ever had. The food was great and the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. If I could give more stars I would. Be ready to unplug from the world and enjoy your surroundings. So much to do and see. I will be recommending this property to everyone one I know. My wife and I were making plans to come back before we even left."
