Rio Bravo Conservation Area, Orange Walk District hotel rooms at the Independent

"Super friendly staff. Not just a place to stay but an experience! Heard Howler Monkeys each day and staff shared a baby Boa Constrictor that was caught on site. Amazing!"

"Quiet and relaxing atmosphere "

"Wow! Is all that really can be said. The natural beauty of this hotel are what other places spend thousands of dollars trying to recreate. Located on the river banks with nothing else in sight, thoughtfully manicured grounds giving way to the Belizean jungle. You truly can feel away from it all. The hotel offers a lot to do on-site as well canoeing on the river, mini golf, a swimming pool, spa services, hikes around the property and a good restaurant with bar. And they can also set you up for a tour to any one attractions in the area. The staff goes out of their to meet the needs of their guests. We stayed in the Owner's Suite on the far end of all the bungalows with the jetted tub on the balcony style patio overlooking the river. Totally private with a wide open view of the river and nothing else but nature to look. Amazing, highly recommend."

"The staff is very kind and a pleasure to talk and visit with. "

"We had a fantastic time, very relaxing and comfortable. Marcela is a wonderful host. "
