“stuning riverside lodge (family run near Xunantunich, can walk along river)”

Stunning Riverside lodge, family-run (and built!) Miss China, her family and staff plus Clarissa Cookie (the cat) 🐈 made our stay so special. It’s a beautiful location, great food & rooms are comfortable and clean (rustic & authentic lodge) The staff walked us along river with machetes to reach Amazinf Mayan Ruins & we also had great fun tubing on the river. Really appreciates being droppped at the Belize Guatemala border too. 🙏❤️

“Felt like a retreat for restoring rest and good mental health”

Cabin was set in the jungle with a river running at the back . Peaceful nature setting with bird and howler monkey sounds . Close to a small village and ruins . What will be the most memorable thing is not the property but the kind , amazing owner Miss Chenna . Felt like we were at home . Always happy and smiling , nothing too much trouble .

“A charming waterfall location at a great price with lovely owner and staff.”

A beautiful location right next to the falls with traditional cabanas set in grounds with chickens, geese and turkeys roaming free; a delightful knowledgeable and helpful owner with lovely staff. The restaurant offers a good view of the falls and a wonderful chance to watch hummingbirds feed.

“Best place to stay before visiting Tikal. Owner\staff ridiculously great.”

There were too many great things to say about this location. The owner, Chena, was extremely nice and helpful during our entire stay. The property is right next to a river (with falls and a great swimming hole) and is a preserve of an old cattle ranch still in Chena's family. The bungalows were very comfortable and clean, with many decorative touches and amenities having been made by Chena herself. The restaurant on the property is full service and tasty as well. Our stay here centered around a trip to the Tikal ruins in Guatemala - we stayed the first night at Clarissa falls resort, leaving our rental car there as well while we were away, with Chena arranging all the travel to and from Tikal using drivers she has had long and excellent service from. We stayed the final night at Clarissa falls upon return from Tikal so we could get an early start back to the coast for some snorkel time. An added bonus for this resort is that it is very close to the Xunantunich ruins for a quick visit there. Lastly I wanted to say how much we appreciated Chena's over-and-beyond assistance with our challenges that started the day before when we discovered our credit card had been hacked and disabled.

“It's so magical and peaceful at this place, we will be back.”

The food was made to order and very good. Staff very friendly and attentive. The coffee, Garlic Tea and Ginger tea very good. Chena, the owner, sorry if I misspelled her name is so personable, she baked a chocolate cake for my birthday and made it Vegan so one of my daughters could eat it. It was yummy!

Chena is the best hostess ever, and the place is magical.

“A wonderful peaceful place where we could relax and feel at home”

Chena the owner was so welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for her. If you want to be in beautiful jungle surroundings and enjoy the rustic nature of the cabins and restaurant, the peace and quiet only hearing the sounds of the birds and the river that runs by, then this is the dream place to be. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the freshly prepared food so much we ended up making it full board. We did not want to leave.

“I plan to come back!”

The place is beautiful! And the owner is just amazing!
