Very good

No air conditioning in the rooms with an outside temperature at 39 Celsius during the day and 29 at night. This was not well reflected when booking. I have to cancel one nigh, however the hotel took two nights from my card, saying that Expedia is the one to refund me.
This looks like a scam and unfair. That was the first I was booking with Expedia, but I am disappointed.
Lovely setting and equally lovely people. Birds galore and Steve, the resident bird expert, is a kind and knowledgeable guide to the wonders of the jungle, as well to the local Mayan culture.
We booked this place for one night last minute. It was fantastic. Our other nights’ accommodations had been modest, more DIY places. This place is not DIY. They are there to carry your stuff and bring your requests and they really don’t take no for an answer. (It was great; this is NOT a complaint. My friend and I are usually staying in some shack, happily, where we have to drag all of our wet clothes in and dry them on the window sill. This is not that type of place.)
We had dinner brought to our room because we were exhausted from the day. The orange ginger sorbet was my favorite part.
Breakfast was excellent. They sent us off with maps and directions and to-go food wrapped in foil.
I would advise packing some bug spray. The natural thatch roofs are so cool. But a few of the bugs are smarter than the roof. We sprayed our sheets and outer blankets down and did fine.
Would absolutely stay here again and I will be in-person reviewing this place to anyone coming to Belize that wants my opinion.
It was a beautiful experience. You can book lots of excursions, like chocolate making, spice farm, and a day at the falls also Maya ruins. It offers a bird watching paradise, I saw so many beautiful colourful birds. It boasts 250 different bird species, when the total country has 600 different species so that was a pleasant surprise.
The overall cleanliness of the place on a whole was top notch,didn't realize there was no tv and wifi didn't work in room but i realized this was a blessing as our family had the best time we've had in years with our teenagers playing boardgames talking and getting back to connecting with each other as we did when they were kids we will definitely be returning absolutely 💯 ❤️
Big Falls Lodge is in a magical setting nestled amongst the forest and next to the river.
The staff did a great job of making us welcome we will definitely stay there again.
We also plan on recommending the Lodge to our friends.
Nice cabin in a beautiful setting. River tubing and canoeing on site. Attentive service. The proprietor can make arrangements for local cultural activities within the Mayan Village. The only downside was the beds. The mattresses where sagging so badly that the last night we chose to sleep on the floor!
Beautiful natural resort, secluded, quiet, in a very natural area. Don't book this hotel for night life, book it to immerse yourself in a tropical environment. A hummingbird greets you at the office door, there is a swimming pool to relax in after a day of ruins exploring or walking in the bush.
