"The whole place was amazing! The cabins were bare bones but clean and cute. We had a porch in the back right by the rainforest, but wished there had been comfy chairs to sit on instead of a small, hard bench. The bathrooms were clean with some interesting insect life to observe while sitting there. Showers were hot and good pressure.
The Toucan Cafe up front was superb - we ate every meal there. There is comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Fridge and coffee maker are available for guests. There is also a biology-oriented library that also had some interesting travel guides for Belize, a gift shop, and a lab where the researchers work. The staff was super helpful with all the questions we had.
The grounds are large, with orchards containing a variety of fruit trees, and there are some nice hiking trails. One goes to a "swimming hole" on a creek that is not deep enough to swim in but certainly wonderfully refreshing on a hot day.
We used the cabin as a base and only had to drive 20 minutes to the Inland Blue Hole and river kayaking, and 15 minutes to Billy Barquedier National Park where there is a short hike to a waterfall. There are several restaurants nearby on the Hummingbird Hwy, as well as an ice cream shop."
"Simple accommodation which does the job and has cooking facilities. A cafe and shop are across the road. Most taxi drivers know the place and the staff are helpful. What more can you ask for?"
"Outstanding resort and grounds. Entire staff was friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed the service and fresh food at the Grove restaurant. Hiking, biking and kayaking activities made our stay a wonderful experience. At night they had candles lights around the grounds. Very beautiful property! "
"El lugar es precioso, tranquilo y cómodo. Las cabañas están al 100%, todo muy limpio y agradable. El personal es muy atención y servicial! Y la comida estuvo deliciosa (cena y desayuno). 100% recomendado"
"The property is very quiet and the staff is super helpful and nice. We felt the food was a bit overpriced for the portion sizes and the flavors were just okay. The drinks were amazing. The tour to the cave on property was fantastic! We did the horse back riding as well."
