Cayo District Boutique Hotels

"The most friendly, welcoming and helpful staff! Amazing breakfasts and drinks from the restaurant, clean comfortable room - refreshing pool - beautiful grounds and wildlife to be seen! What a wonderful base for exploring the area! The location is perfect (walkable to downtown ~20-30 mins) steep walk back but manageable or take a taxi. 30 mins from the Guatemala border, 2mins from Cahal Pech ATM caves with Maya Walk was an easy pick up and drop off. Breakfast was easily pre-ordered (and packed to go if needed) for our early start days making life easier! Highly recommend this place. "

"Spacious, well appointed and comfortable room. Great shower. Hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is perfect. Within walking distance of most restaurants "

"The facility is incredible. You truly feel as if you are staying in the jungle. We stayed in a treehouse and the room was absolutely stunning. We were greeted every morning and night by the most welcoming staff. Whether it be at the reception desk, dinning staff or cleaners, everyone was over the top helpful and kind. We enjoyed both a breakfast and dinner buffet that was different each meal. The food was fantastic with a large variety of different foods, all tastier than ever. The guided tours are truly what makes your stay unique. They offer a variety of different types of tours with immense assistance and guidance from the tour guides to make the tour as seamless as possible with the best experience. We visited 2 ancient ruin sites, cannot say less about the experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew what special touches to provide to make it the most unforgettable experience. My husband and I were there for our wedding anniversary and they went over and above to make it very special and memorable. Would highly recommend the Ian Anderson Cave’s Branch to anyone looking for a unique and adventure filled experience. "

"Our stay at Dream Valley was absolutely unforgettable. We booked the honeymoon suite tucked into the jungle of Belmopan along the Belize River, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Having our own private pool surrounded by lush greenery made it feel secluded, peaceful, and incredibly special. The suite itself was exceptional — beautifully designed, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a romantic getaway. The staff truly made the experience stand out. Carmen went above and beyond to help us coordinate excursions and transportation, making everything seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail and genuine care did not go unnoticed. The restaurant deserves special recognition — the food was five-star quality. Dining on the balcony while sipping drinks at sunset was one of the most romantic experiences of the trip. The atmosphere, the views, and the flavors were all outstanding. The only piece of advice for future guests: the hotel is in a remote location and not within walking distance of anything. We highly recommend renting a vehicle to make exploring easier. If you’re looking for a romantic, jungle retreat with exceptional service and unforgettable scenery, Dream Valley is the perfect choice. We would absolutely return."

"This extraordinarily beautiful hotel is one of the most luxurious properties in Belize. We stayed in the Creekside rooms which are individual units next to running water, surrounded by lush flora and fauna, with the lovely and constant melody of birds. The service by staff is excellent, the restaurant is stunning, and each dish fresh, unique, inventive and of the highest quality. There are interesting and beautiful jungle trails on property, as well as a gorgeous sister property with a riverside restaurant to visit and enjoy. Sleeping Giant is one of a kind and worth the effort for visitors to travel inland. We chose to spend our three nights on property to fully enjoy the amenities and not venture out on excursions. Our time on property was deeply relaxing and restorative. Thank you Sleeping Giant team for our wonderful experience with you, we take home the loveliest of memories."

"Very clean, helpful staff, cute room…we only were able toasty one night but would return. Love the elevated cabin with the screened in porch and hammock. Comfortable."

"Good communication"

"10/10 experience! Not only was the resort beautiful the staff were attentive and friendly. Any need I had they went above and beyond to fulfill. The resort also was a 8 min drive from downtown San Ignacio which was very convenient. My cousin and I left sad to leave such a paradise. Highly recommend and hope to come back in the future! "
