Basic, but clean and comfortable room furnishings with A/C and Fan! Quite rooms with noices of Mother Nature only! Fantastic bar with foods! Nisha and her team understand how to make guests feel warmly welcomed and ensure they have everything they need! Thank you so much again!

“Great place to stay if you are visiting Lamanai on a budget.”
The riverside location is spectacular and wonderful for bird watching. The bar is a big draw for locals and it is fun seeing the real Belize rather than being stuck in a resort.

Amazing location on the banks of the New River. You can chill out on the porch of your private cabin at the end of the day. Nisha was great at getting me set up with a tour to Lamanai. And the restaurant is really top notch. My stay in Orange Walk was outstanding because I was lucky enough to have chosen accommodations here.

“Nice cabin and great wildlife.”
Sitting on the decking with a coffee in the morning and watching the wildlife. The crocodile, the iguanas, the birds. It was wonderful. Beds were comfortable. The restaurant was very good, as was the beer and the staff were all lovely. We were allowed to park our motorcycles right by the cabin and the gate to the property is closed at night.

“Good budget accommodation for nature lovers”
Close to the nature and river, short walk from a bus station and centre, nice staff. I was arranged a guided tour to the Lamanai Maya ruins.

“The place was wonderful. The meals were delightful. I ate three side dishes for my dinners!”
The location is second to none. The greeting as I arrived. The workers were wonderful and kind and full of stories! The rooms were fine. The River Tour Boat to Laminai was extraordinary. Don Hilberto was the most knowledgable captain of the boat. Like having a professor in charge. He had participated in many archeological and biological studies at Laminai Mayan Archaeological Reserve. He was enlightening! We also saw howler monkey troops! Birds were gorgeous! We saw bats and a sleeping nightjar! Food was Belizean and tasty. The bar was populated by happy families and people from the area! Kids welcomed to eat! Small play ground!

“This hotel is like two different places. Great restaurant and staff, very substandard rooms.”
The staff members were great. Friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves decent food and drinks and it's situated in a pretty location on the riverside, with good bird and crocodile watching and at a walkable distance from the bus station. The room was clean, and the bedding and towels were worn but clean. We were there on the day a dinner concert was scheduled and the singer was incredible. The isolated location on the edge of town might be a security concern but they lock the gates at night and have a security guard on site.
