“Amazing!”
One of our favourite holiday destinations we've been to. The resort itself is so unique and eye-catching. The staff and attention to detail are second to none. Notable shoutouts to Karim our waiter, Edwin from the pool team and Wilson who works for the stables who all provided an A++ Experience. Will definitely be returning.

“Idyllic, peaceful and beautiful - one of the most amazing hotels we’ve ever stayed in!”
Even better than the photos - it felt like a dream! Everything was immaculate and beautifully designed - the staff were incredible and the food was delightful, everything fresh from the garden! We couldn’t recommend more highly. All the little touches and friendly, knowledgeable staff made our stay one of the most memorable and enjoyable vacations we have ever had.

“Hidden gem”
The Cabanas are very beautiful and secluded. Waking up with birds and falling asleep with sound of a waterfall. It has White Lotus vibes 100%. From the concierge welcome with drink to staff knowing your name and perfect timing if housekeeping. They always left some trays in the room with evening candles. Tons of activities around available. We did horseback riding to sunset but they have free birdwatching, river tubing and others. Special anniversary dinner we asked them to plan was romantic and beautiful. The three restaurants on grounds are farm to table and provide incredible variety.

“Amazing… spend extra stay here…. You will not regret it.”
Amazing…. Relaxing. The staff amazing the food good. The way in which the hotel is ran is superb. Whether it’s transport to and from airport the tours etc it truly has been magical.. the best ran hotel we have have ever stayed in. The attention to detail was super. We will come back. I have to say be completely honest Belize it’s self is ok. But this hotel made our entire trip. I will go back just for this. Any other place in Belize no chance . It’s a little expensive however you get what you pay for and more truly super place I cannot fault at all.

“Perfect place for a quiet hideaway”
The staff knows what you need even before you need it! Absolutely fantastic. This was one of our best experiences with truly professional and attentive staff. Property is gorgeous and does not feel crowded evenn at full capacity. The perfect place if you are looking for a quiet hideaway in the jungle.

First of all, the worst accommodation on our round trip! The best was the friendly lady who picked us up from the parking lot. Then we were informed in a very incomprehensible commanding English by a young lady about the resort. In advance we ordered something to drink from her. (The outside temperature 38°C / 100°F). After a few minutes we asked where the drinks were, as an answer: are on the way. After further monotonous lectures, which we almost did not understand, we asked again for our drinks. The answer. Sin on the way! When your lecture finally ended, we should go to room (bungalow), again we asked for our drinks, now the answer: what would you like to order!!!! (Impudent, here not the guest but the receptionist is king) Arrived in the bungalow, 29°C / 85°F room temperature and no air conditioning and that at a 5 star resort! We hoped for a cold cola from the minibar, unfortunately there was only a sugared version. Ok, we just drink a wine, but there was also only from cans, disgusting). So off to the pool. Covers for the sunbeds or towels were not available here! Only the next day after our request. Ok, change and into the restaurant (Italian) where we ordered a ceviche, we then got a vegetable-like ceviche with insert, quite terrible! Now we could only look forward to our departure!

Amazing location.. amazing views.. amazing people! We loved everything about our stay! The staff were very helpful and supportive with advice on activities to be done; we rented bikes and did a tour to the waterfall. Would definitely recommend the hike, breakfast in the room (which is foc), a visit to the Guatemalan restaurant <3 and the hot pool!

“Everything was perfect!”
Blancaneaux lodge is the perfect hideaway in the back country of Belize. The hotel is beautiful. We do recommend the villas overlooking the river. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. Perfect location for hiking visiting Tikal or ATM cave. This was our second stay and liked the place just as much as 10 years ago!
