“Beautiful and quiet jungle resort”

We have just spent a very relaxing few nights at Gumbo Limbo. It is a beautiful spot, and our room was very spacious and comfortable. Four toucans were sitting in the tree outside when we arrived! There is a lot to do locally and we enjoyed trips to Cahel Pech, the Butterfly Ranch, Caracol with a guide organised by Christine, and Escabeche for lunch at Upe Nai.

“Amazing property, great owners and a wonderful stay!”

This property and our stay exceeded our expectations. If you want somewhere a little off the beaten path, with a beautiful environment, wonderful accommodations and some privacy this is the place to book. It is off the road and in a beautiful area of the jungle. There are only five cabins surrounding an open area and you have the upmost of privacy and quiet. There is a beautiful pool and quiet deck. The owners are present, friendly, helpful and super nice. We had breakfast there daily (continental and included) and ate dinner there each night too which was home cooked and wonderful. I would highly recommend this property for couples, families or a solo traveler.

The breakfast and the coffee are excellant! The owner is frendily as well. You can enjoy the peace and breeze on the top of the hill, very relaxing.

“Little gem of a hotel in the middle of the jungle with a magnificent view from all locations especially the pool!”

Amazing views, wonderful aircon (not always so in Belize), gorgeous individual cabins, delicious freshly made dinners and a super warm team

“Honeymooners Paradise”

The view from the cabin was so breathtaking and so serene . Also the hospitality received from the owners was so warm. My husband and I felt like home away from home. We will definitely visit again.

“Great hosts, food and views!!”

Christine and Jay were great hosts! Helpful with local tour guide recos and willfully shared lots of awesome information! They made us feel like we'd known each other for a while prior. Super friendly and kind. While we were busy off-site, we (3 of us) all agreed that we could've stayed another few nights there just to wake up to the 50+ parrots in the morning and then relax by the pool with the toucans - next time for sure! Breakfast was good, coffee was better and the view was best (especially with a cold beer in hand! They even catered their nightly supper menu to our tastes (linguine alfredo with seriously succulent locally-sourced shrimp, beef skewers & stew chicken) :) Will definitely stay again and keep in touch! Thanks so much! --Jay, Stacey & Jen

“Safe, peaceful and nature-filled, with very accommodating owners- Highly recommend.”

Owners / operators were very friendly, accommodating and helpful.

a home away from home. there are only five bungalows on the property so you get away from it all here. the owners are very welcoming and can cook all meals if you never want to leave. rooms and beds very comfortable and quiet.

“Friendly owners and well maintained facilities in quiet surroundings”

relaxing and private

“Amazing jungle experience at Gumbo Limbo Jungle Resort”

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Jay and Christine's Gumbo Limbo Jungle Resort. After spending a few days on Caye Caulker Island, we wanted to see more of Belize and wanted to 'experience the jungle' -- and this is exactly what our stay at this resort gave us! We loved having our own little cottage set in a beautiful garden. I loved the sound of the birds! The drive from Belize City was very easy and straightforward (good roads). The driveway was indeed a bit challenging the first time round, but once we followed Jay's clear instructions it was actually very easy. Apart from the beautiful resort (with a lovely pool -- that will even be remodelled in September) and the stunning surroundings, it's really Jay and Christine who have made our stay so special. They are just so kind and attentive: wonderful hosts! We had dinner at the resort both nights and really loved the home-cooked meals! And make sure to leave enough room for the homemade desserts...! Gumbo Limbo Jungle Resort is very centrally located: it's a short drive to many wonderful sites. We went to the Xunantunich Maya ruins (only a 20 min drive) and can really highly recommend these! You actually get to climb the ruins with a very knowledgeable guide. An unforgettable experience! And we also loved kayaking through the Barton Creek Cave. Both these excursions were recommended to us by Jay and Christine, who were also very helpful in making arrangements and calls for us. If you travel to Belize, make sure to visit the jungle as well and to visit this resort! We can highly recommend it.

Everything was great! This was the best place we visited during our stay in Belize. It is very quiet (except noice from jungle) and clean. Owners are very friendly, kind and helpful. We felt there like at home (or even better because of the great service). Dinner was always very tasty and original. We wished we didn't have to leave and we hope to come back again one day.

“Great stay in the jungle”

It has been great to be away feom everything in the middle of the jungle but still close to St.Ignacio and the main attrsctions. Thanks to Jay and Chris for their hospitality. We loved goong Tarantula fishing with Jay and the home made ice cream from Chris.

“Magic in the jungle!”

The name threw us off, and we thought it was going to be a party place... instead, we found paradise. The nicest owners, private, romantic room, fabulous bar and lounge area, awesome pool. Birdwatching for DAYS! Best breakfast ever. I can't say enough about how lovely our stay was.

“Fantastic place to stay!”

Friendly people, great food, a serene environment, and one of the best views in all of Belize!

“Perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of Belize!”

Everything about the stay was absolutely fantastic. It's tucked away in the jungle, with phenomenal views and even better people. I'm looking forward to my next stay there already!
