“Faultless”
Everything. It was flawless. Understated elegance and the highest quality abound. The villa was vast, the private plunge pool was great, the food in both restaurants and the pizza place was really good. It was a privilege to eat wonderful food whilst immersed in nature. The trails, rope bridges, etc were superb. The people were, without exception, courteous, friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.

“5 * jungle oasis”
The room was much more spacious than photographed, nicely finished, and perfectly clean. Possibly the most comfortable bed of my life? Loved the Yoga mat provided in the room. The hammock on the patio was perfect for relaxing and listening to the bird song or watching the Koi pond. The fan above the hammock to keep the bugs away was an excellent idea! We also made use of the scope available to guests for birding in the garden. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a couples massage in our room. The dinner was exceptional - beetroot pate appie + lamb chops + pork chop mains were divine. The grounds are beautifully kept and you feel like you're in a riverside jungle oasis ❤️

“We are so glad we got to stay at & experience The Sleeping Giant Resort. Everything was amazing!”
The location, facilities & the staff were terrific! Sleeping Giant Resort is located right off beautiful Humming Bird Hwy, not that far from Belmopan, close to Herman's Cave & The Blue Hole. I believe the whole resort & development covers 500 acres, so it feels like you are in your own world! We loved the bikes, hiking trails, bridges, lookout tower, animals (poultry, peacocks, sheep, horses, bunnies, turtles, birds), river/tubing, outdoor wood-fire pizza dining area, restaurants, pools, gardens, sitting areas, large rooms, everything was bonus! We felt like celebrities lol, all the staff was amazing, friendly, kind, so helpful! The higher price justified the inclusions & amenities. We came during low season & stayed in Riverview room #5, so it was a great value. We loved everything about this place & can't wait to return! Thank you <3

“Mind blowingly beautiful”
One of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed in the entire world. We loved the property and all of the amenities were incredible! Free kayaks and bicycles and hiking trails to lookouts and hanging bridges. The list goes on and on, it was my wife’s favorite hotel that she’s ever stayed in and that says a lot because we travel more than 50% of the year.

“This is a magical place to stay, you have to experience it to understand it,”
Well this place is paradise, perfect in every way. The location is stunning particularly when looking at the mountains from your balcony first thing in the morning. The restaurant food was very good too at ok prices.

“Our stay was phenomenal! It was peaceful, beautiful, relaxing and luxurious.”
The grounds are gorgeous. The location of the restaurants were perfect - close enough to the cabins but not so close that any noise carries. The upper levels makes you feel as if you're eating in a gorgeous treehouse. The staff was absolutely exceptional!

“Fantastic grounds, beautiful hotel , highly recommend”
Property was fantastic. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. We really enjoyed the amenities on the property like the free bike rentals, hike up to the gazebo, the pool. Food at the restaurants was ok, we really loved the Mayan chocolate cake! The room was fantastic. We opted for the creek side cottage . It was perfectly secluded but still close to the reception area. It offered an outdoor tub and hammock area. Really comfortable bed and also a water machine in the room. We will definitely be back.

“Garden of Eden!”
The resort far exceeded my expectations! It was absolutely the most beautiful place I've ever stayed and unfortunately we could only stay one night because of availability. We would gladly have extended our stay. We had a river side room with private patio, and there were fish and ducks swimming right outside. The room was very large and private and I loved the Nepresso coffee maker! The grounds were immaculately groomed and luscious with vegetation and flowers. We enjoyed the pool and also kayaking on the river. Don't pass it up if you have the chance to stay!

“Paradise!”
Everything. We got a free upgrade as our original room’s air conditioning failed. The suite was spectacular, with an outside shower and bed to the front and balcony with plunge pull to the back. Everything was clean, had our own coffee maker, air conditioning and fans. The estate was there to explore, everyone friendly, free bikes and kayaks.

“Perfect place to unwind”
The location in the rainforest ist wonderful and we especially enjoyed the free bicycles and the hiking trails on the hotel grounds. It's a great place for bird watching! We stayed at a Creekside Cottage which was beautiful, especially the patio and the outdoor bathbub are great. A great plus is that you are provided with free drinking water. Special thanks to the waiting staff at Don Tonito's, they were so nice and we felt very welcome there!
