Here’s a polished and engaging travel review for Banana Bank Lodge: A True Gem of Hospitality and Community My stay at Banana Bank Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine care. The staff couldn’t do enough for me—attentive, kind, and always ready to assist. Their dedication to guest satisfaction truly sets this place apart. What makes Banana Bank Lodge extraordinary isn’t just its breathtaking surroundings or the comfort it offers, but the passion and heart that go into every aspect of it. The owner is a true gentleman, going above and beyond to share the incredible history of the lodge and the meaningful work he and his wife have dedicated themselves to. This is far more than just a lodge or farm; it’s a living testament to their deep-rooted commitment to the land, the people, and the culture. Their philosophy is evident in every detail—from their respect for nature to their efforts in uplifting the local community. They don’t just run a business; they are actively making a positive impact wherever possible. It’s a shining example of how tourism can be a force for good, blending sustainability, hospitality, and cultural enrichment. Thank you, Banana Bank Lodge, for an unforgettable experience. I left not just with wonderful memories but with deep admiration for what you stand for. If you’re looking for a stay that’s more than just a vacation—a place that truly touches the heart—this is it. Highly recommended! Micheal 🇮🇪

Refreshing

Different place with lots of horses. You wouldn’t expect to find this amazing estate in the middle of nowhere. It’s not new but it has charm and it’s actually quite amazing

This place is magical. Yes, it is older and it most certainly needs some tlc and updates but it is such a unique place. The owners and the staff were great. We especially liked the horseback trip with Henry.

We had a wonderful stay at banana bank lodge. Our girls loved the horse riding, we all loved the surroundings and the pool. At night we heard the monkeys scream and we have seen many beautiful birds on the large terrain.

A quiet retreat in the jungle with birdlife and the chance to ride horses with excellent staff.

Staff and the owners are fabulous people. We enjoyed out stay and we particularly enjoyed birdwatching and horseback riding. Carolyn Carr, one of the owners, is an artist who has a wonderful gallery of original paintings and other art and memorabilia. That alone is worth a nights stay. Accommodations are eclectic and typically Belizean, but comfortable. We opted for an air conditioned room although the cabanas are more spacious.

A fabulous adventure

Off the beaten path, and a great location for visiting Belmopan and San Ignacio and the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and the Cayo district. The staff are friendly and the owners are right there to tell you a story and make your days excursions just what you want it to be. Youll find the horses roaming around the old planation, youll hear the parrots calling out to you from their bird Avery and even see and hear from two wild cats in their enclosure. Youll want to take a horseback ride through the jungle and teak forests, and take sometime to just relax and swim in the pool. The meals were great, Mayan influenced, healthy breakfast and dinner each day a lunch if needed. Id stay here again, and spend a month.
