"★★★★☆ Beautiful, Peaceful Resort with a Few Concerns
Mystic River Resort is absolutely gorgeous! Surrounded by nature, it’s peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what we wanted for our Belize getaway. The grounds are beautiful, and the food was very good.
A special shoutout to Lillet, who greeted us with the sweetest smile every morning at breakfast! Her warmth and kindness made our stay even more enjoyable.
A few things to be mindful of:
Dining: Everything is à la carte, so dinner can easily run $75–$100. Additional service charges and gratuity are disclosed on the menu.
Excursions: The sales approach felt pushy. On our first evening, while we were eating dinner after traveling, someone approached us about booking activities. We politely said we’d let them know, but at 7:55 PM, someone came to our room to follow up. We were already in bed and exhausted. It felt intrusive for a resort centered around relaxation.
Billing: Additional service charges and gratuity were added to a third-party excursion, although they weren’t disclosed in the brochure. The resort corrected the charges when I questioned them, but had I not reviewed our itemized receipts, we wouldn’t have known.
Overall, Mystic River is a beautiful, tranquil escape that I’d recommend. Just review your charges carefully and don’t hesitate to set boundaries.
4/5 stars — Beautiful property with room for improvement in communication and billing transparency."
"Eco-tourism hotel with multiple cabin-like structures with A/C. Restaurant on premises was excellent. Massage therapy offered on site as well, was also excellent. Saw one guest there fishing along the river for tarpon. My only negative is the rock and gravel walkways—- luggage won’t roll, not for people with weak ankles, negated any use of the free bikes. But overall, this place is special. Quiet, serene, catering toward couples. Has two nice pools, mini-golf, ping pong if you bring kids."
"The setting in the mountains is beautiful, and the place has a fun, rustic atmosphere. However, there were several disappointments during our stay.
The listing advertises air conditioning, but it’s important to understand that the rooms are screened in, so the AC does not cool the entire room. You can only really feel it when you’re lying in bed with the curtains closed. Also, the air blows directly onto your face, and there’s no way to adjust the airflow. I actually had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed to avoid having the air blow directly on me all night.
On a positive note, the staff was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. They were definitely a highlight of the experience.
Unfortunately, the drinks weren’t very good, and the food was absolutely terrible. If you decide to stay here, I strongly recommend making other plans for meals rather than relying on the on-site restaurant.
Overall, it’s a fun, rustic place with a beautiful mountain setting and wonderful staff, but be prepared for a very basic experience and plan to eat elsewhere."
