Pine Ridge Lodge is a special place. Just go ahead and check out the reviews. They are not lying. Neil, Marcia, and the staff at Pine Ridge will do anything that they can to accommodate you and make your stay enjoyable. The resort is definitely rustic and out in the wilderness, but it is impeccably clean, wonderfully decorated and appointed with whatever you need. There are personal touches (Neil would send us on excursions with a jug of water and plastic cups, as one example) and they really do try to make sure your stay is above and beyond expectations! Neil helped us schedule tours to Caracol and also to the ATM cave. As other reviews have mentioned, the staff always asked what you wanted to eat the next day and prepared delicious food, dessert, and breakfast. My 3 teenage kids also had an amazing experience.... interacting with Neil's family to Neil showing us some amazing animals on his property (chickens, guinea hens, turkeys, and also some Belizean wildlife). There is WiFi in the main lodge building but not in the cabins, so it's a good balance for screen time, if your teens are like mine! Staying at Pine Ridge is the real deal....real Belize, real hospitality, and a really nice experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience and stay
The property is stunning and in the middle of amazing nature (short hike to a waterfall, short drive to the best swimming hole we’ve ever experienced). Great location, easy central access to all the amazing pine ridge forest experiences, Caracol, ATM, Xunantunich, San Ignacio, etc. Immaculately clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms dripping with art (the use of daily incense kept all bugs completely out of our rooms as well). Jose (property manager) had quick and timely communication with any questions beforehand and during all of our excursions which he personally made happen (so much better than a large tour group imo). Neil (owner/chef) made absolutely amazing food. He asked us the morning/night before what we wanted ready for us making it incredibly easy as well. Finally, truly wonderful people. It’s a small operation which I prefer, but in no way did that sacrifice any aspect of quality during our stay (and for us, enhanced it). Thank you so much, true highlight of our trip! Cheers until next time.

Could not recommend this place ENOUGH! Absolutely loved Pine Ridge for our stay in the Cayo district. The location was perfect for exploring Big Rock Falls, Rio on Pools, ATM cave etc, but outside of those things, Jose and Neil were just the best. Jose made sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed / planned. We had most of our meals at the lodge due to convenience and I wouldn't have had it any other way - Neil is a phenomenal cook and always asked what our preferences were and customized the meals to our liking. I looked forward to every meal because I knew it was going to be great! This place was perfect for a quiet, relaxing stay!

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night. Everything was perfect from the second we arrived. Jose greeted us at our car and was there for us if we needed anything at all. They cooked us a lovely dinner and sent us with a packed lunch and snacks the next day seeing we had to leave early. He also had coffee and a fruit plate ready for us before we left for Caracol. We booked the room by the river and it was clean and beautiful. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area. Can't wait to go back.

Quiet, relaxing stay. The property is so beautiful and relaxing- but be forewarned that you’re really “out there” so there’s no quick run to a drug store, so bring anything with you that you think you might need. The lodges were airy and comfortable. Neil is so hospitable and a great cook. Jose is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for more and will stay longer next time!

We received a very warm welcome by the staff and offered to help and make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Hector assisted with sites to visit and we had several option, which we did started right away. Next day was fabulous and Neil treated us like family and always checking to ensure we have a great time. I truly recommend this location for future visit. The road to get there was first class.

Staying at the Pine Ridge Lodge was one of the highlights of our whole time in Belize. Neil is an exceptional host with a keen eye for details. Our cabin was beautifully decorated, very comfortable (excellent bed!) and very clean. The grounds are lovely, with many charming touches and walking trails. We were very pleased to learn that the lodge is environmentally aware and solar powered! The food was amazing, we loved every meal and all of the care that Neil put into communicating about the menus and attention to all of our needs and preferences. The location is ideal for exploring the area--we selected this spot so as to be closer to Caracol, Rio Frio cave, Big Rock Falls etc which really saved us a lot of time in the car (rather than traveling all the way from San Ignacio). We later spent one night in San Ignacio and we wish we had just added a 4th night to our stay at Pine Ridge Lodge!

We were so pleased to be in nature, to hear the birds singing and the creek running. The most enjoyable hosts and excellent meals prepared by Neil. I would highly recommend mend this gem up in the Pine Ridge reserve. We shall return.

Fantastic hospitality and the best food we ate in all of Belize! Thank you Neil for great conversation and an absolutely wonderful & memorable stay. Immaculate landscaping and accommodation in the middle of the forest reserve. Beautiful, calming surroundings, with great hammocks, made this a peaceful retreat. Overall 5 star stay!

Nature with a lot of nurturing
A perfect blend of rustic charm and extreme hospitality. The lodge is secreted deep in the reserve, so is not an ideal location for anyone looking for a noisy commercial environment. Neil is the perfect host, friendly and accommodating, while his kitchen proved to be adept at producing great meals. The cottages are in excellent condition and are beautifully outfitted with local art. And if you go, plan on taking a dip in the stream out back. A note that when we were there, a young puma became too curious about Neil's collection of Guinea hens. Somehow, he managed to leash it, and it's now resident at the Belize zoo.

The perfect place and great host
Pine Ridge Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. As soon as you cross the front gate you are treated with beautifully maintained grounds. The rooms are great - very clean, plenty of space and the ensuite shower is very good. Our room was right beside the river in a wonderful setting. There is also an "onsite" waterfall a short walk away! The owner, Neil, is the perfect host - very friendly and helpful. He has put alot of effort into the property, which is obvious from all the small touches such as the decorations in the room and the beautiful flower beds. Chef is brilliant and cooked us up wonderful meals, and Neil knows how to keep the beers cold! It was a total delight to stay here and I would fully recommend it - if I'm ever back in Belize I will definitely be staying here.
