“Fabulous Lodge in Amazing Setting”

Fantastic decor throughout the hotel, well laid out with great grounds. The food is excellent and the bar makes great cocktails. The room is very comfortable. The 'beach' area.by the river is extrememly well done, the staff are all very friendly and efficient.

“A magical jungle escape with outstanding food, wonderful staff and an unforgettable atmosphere.”

Gaia Riverlodge was an incredible experience from start to finish. The setting is absolutely stunning — surrounded by lush jungle, nature and wildlife everywhere, with magical nighttime moments like spotting animals in the trees. The atmosphere felt peaceful, exclusive and completely immersed in nature while still being very comfortable. The food was exceptional throughout our stay, fresh, beautifully prepared and genuinely some of the best we have had while travelling. What truly made the experience special, however, was the staff. Every single person was warm, polite, attentive and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcomed and cared for at all times.

The staff, the setting, the room

Apart from the rat in our room and speaking to the manager about it, all the staff were fantastic and we loved seeing hummingbirds in the gardens. The location was beautiful and we loved hearing the sounds of the waterfall. The restaurant also had great vegetarian options.

The location was incredible, remote and beautiful. The food was divine, with exceptional service. The staff knew us by name, knew our plans and excursions that we had booked, so special.

“It was like staying at the most beautiful luxury hotel in the middle of a jungle oasis”

Food at the restaurant was very good. We tried many things. The drinks were fabulous. The location was BEAUTIFUL and the rooms were stunning. We had an incredible view. The view from the main building also beautiful. The water area with the waterfalls was gorgeous and comfortable. Staff were so responsive and kind. Felt like a very luxurious experience. Additionally, they were super accommodating for dietary restrictions. I have celiac disease and they managed gluten free very well. They seemed very on top of it and I did not get sick one time. Turn down service was also so nice and luxe!!

“Beautiful, romantic - the night sky is magical - zero light pollution”

The views, the peace and being immersed in nature

“If you want true connection to nature, this is the place! And to feel very special this is the place”

Extraordinary connection to the forest and the flowers and the waterfalls! Delicious and memorable dinner! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel special! Truly filled our souls we cannot wait to return thank you!

“Beautiful chilled stay”

Location

very nice lodge with an outstanding view and great food

“The perfect blend of nature and luxury, with some of the best service I have ever received anywhere.”

Gaia was a truly magical experience. It's very out-of-the-way, but it leans into that feeling while also making every aspect of your stay luxurious and well-catered for. The food is beautifully prepared with a wide variety of styles and flavours. The staff were a delight, and the entire place works around its guests amazingly, always subtly preparing things to make your experience as good as possible. You are free to enjoy the location (especially the private river beach and waterfall) in whatever way you wish, always within reach of swift service for whatever you need.

“Lovely space and view.”

The rooms are great - fantastic view from the veranda, comfy bed and fans provided. The resort is walking distance to Big Rock falls and there's a little tram to the one at the bottom of the resort.

“Overpriced and many hidden costs”

Gaia River Lodge is a an interesting secluded hotel where you sleep in cabins that have no windows. Interesting experience (though most of our clothes were wet at all times due to humidity). The hotel has a beautiful view of the river and small waterfalls below. The hotel offers a tour to Caracol and our tour guide Ric was brilliant - he really knew Maya’s history and lore and we learned a lot.

The food and service was excellent, views where spectacular

The staff were amazing!!

“Nice place. However - they try to make way too much money out of you with the restaurant. Bad price quality and unfair&#”

The amazing location and unique view.

“12 out of 10”

A magical place… great experience the whole stay with Christopher’s magic Show as the cherry on top :)

“we had the best stay at this eco lodge”

perfect to relax and unwind. staff is exceptionally friendly and creates a familiar atmosphere at this small luxury hotel. we will miss the delicious food, impeccable rooms, swimming by the waterfall and spa! until next time!

“Highly recommend a stay at this dream hotel”

We had an exceptional stay at Gaia and loved everything about this eco reserve. The facilities, staff and food are outstanding better than many 5 star hotels we have visited. The waterfall / lake and view are unique and beautiful.

“One of the best hotels I have been to”

where to start - incredible location (worth the drive into the remote eco reserve) + beautiful waterside - attentive, friendly staff who go out of their way to ensure a memorable stay - consistently delicious food
