Hotels on the River in Cayo District from $199

"Lovely setting and restaurant; well-kept property. Wonderful staff."

"This lodge was amazing, the room was clean and big, the whole site was gorgeous with so many huge plants and trees! There is also a small hike you can do around the lodge. The pool is great and the set up around it is really peaceful. The staff is really nice and so helpful. They gave us a map to walk downtown, which is 15-20 mins by foot. We were 3 girls and never got worried about walking around. We took a cab to come back to the lodge at night since it’s on top of a hill and it gets dark at 6:30 there. The taxi fare was pretty cheap, around 10-15 BZE (you need to ask the driver for the price and negotiate before you get in the taxi). Also the clerk at the front desk of the lodge booked all the activities we did during our stay. The company they suggested was very good. We did Actun Tunichill on the first day, Xunantunich and Nohoch Che’en (highlight of our trip) on the second day and Caracol with the Rio pools on our last day. The lodge also has a cute little restaurant that is managed by a separate group of employees. You can book the restaurant with the reception and choose your meal in advance so when you get to your table it’s almost ready and you don’t have to wait. This was very useful especially on the mornings when we had to leave early for our daily activities. We really enjoyed exploring San Ignacio, but it was also great to have a cool place to hang after our day. Would 100% recommend The Maya Mountains Lodge ! "

"Absolutely a wonderful place, as adventurous as it gets. The tree house was stunning. The staff super courteous. Highly recommended."

"This property is why I love to travel. If you're coming to Belize, you should absolutely stay here at least a couple nights. The pictures don't do it justice - you feel like you're on an adventure while you're on site, and it's just a cool atmosphere and experience. A true jungle getaway, the cabins are simple but beautiful, with local art and very comfortable bedding and great water pressure in the shower. The property is stunning - surrounded by nature, with huge trees and palms and a great layout, including two different places to swim in the creek, a hiking area, dining room, and play area including an amazing large carved chess set. And then the staff - they are all so lovely and friendly and welcoming, using our names with care and really demonstrating what local hospitality can be. We ate breakfast and dinner on the property both nights/mornings of our stay, and the food was delicious, flavorful, and fresh. The highlight of the trip was sitting on our back patio at night, looking up at the stars and listening to the jungle. 10 of 10 would recommend and will hopefully return here one day!"

"Cabanas are very comfortable. Staff is super friendly "

"This was an amazing property and we had a wonderful time. It is off the beaten path. There is no air conditioning so when it is sweltering it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. We had plenty of fans and slept with all the windows open. "

"The resort was really nice, staff were wonderful. We loved the green iguana conservation project! Location was close, and walkable to town. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if in the area. "

"I stayed in a King room with a garden view. I was looking for a solo getaway where I could just relax in comfort, swim, and eat a restaurant on the premises. From the moment I was greeted by Tania and Darcy, I knew that I could not ask for more. Once I took in the unobstructed panoramic view, I was so delighted at having found this place. The room was beautifully appointed, the bed was super comfy, water pressure in the shower was great, and I was steps from the pool. Air conditioning was much appreciated and needed. This place meets, if not surpasses, the standards of an American traveler. Note: This cabin was further from the main building and restaurant, where there are river views and another pool, but I wanted to save money. I highly recommend this resort if you want luxury in the Belmopan area. I would suggest paying extra for the river view units if you don't want to, or can't, walk up and down a trail path. "

"We spent our honeymoon here and loved it. There is beautiful hikes, pool, river, and Mountain View’s everywhere you look. We arrived late and they left us flowers in our room. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but it was amazing! Already planning when we can go back. Beautiful location, friendly staff and surrounded by nature. We did the horseback riding tour with Cesar and really enjoyed it, all the horses were super well behaved and riding through the mountains was a dream come true."
