My husband and I visited as the first part of our Anniversary trip. We were greeted by Eric at the airport immediately after our arrival and had a great ride to the resort. Eric was also our guide for tour of Caracol Ruins, Cave & Pools, he also took us on the most spectacular cave tubing experience and set up with zip lining. We admired so much his knowledge of the land and the animals! The resort itself is breathtaking and so relaxing. The whole Tut family are so kind and accommodating. Food is top notch authentic Belizean Cuisine and the sound of the surrounding forest is amazing. Highly, highly recommend!

Rustic Jungle Resort
We stayed in a 2 level cabin near the entry road. Very roomy. A little noisy for my tastes. It is thatch roofed so you can hear outside noises. And it got very cool at night, needed extra blankets mid February. I took my 9yr old grandson and he was interested in everything. The bird variety and ease of seeing was phenomenal. They were amazing. I love birds but not super knowledgeable. Birders were there with tripods and huge cameras and lenses. Lodge is in the jungle basically. Necessary to eat meals there as nothing walking distance. Food was good. Fresh fruits. Many tours offered everyday. We did Tikal in Guatemala, Chocolate making, Butterfly and hummingbird refuge. Iguana refuge, local market. All were excellent. Staff were all helpful, kind and friendly. No TV, phone. Did have wifi. 2 hour drive from airport which they will provide.

The property was nestled in a safe, quiet location just outside San Ignacio. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The home made meals were delicious. Carolita is a very gracious and super helpful hostess, chef and Jack of all trades! We very much enjoyed our stay.

Crystal Paradise Resort was a lovely place to stay and I highly recommend! The family who owns and runs the resort provide excellent services attending to every need including setting up transportation and COVID testing. The accommodations are clean, safe, and comfortable. The grounds are gorgeous and the only place in the country I saw both a parrot and a Toucan. The homemade meals were wonderful. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and I would absolutely return!

We LOVED our stay here. The family who runs this place are very attentive and kind. We are not birders but became fascinated with the variety of birds who visit the resort: toucans, lesser motmots, chestnut woodpeckers, and American red starts were just a few we had never seen before. Our group of ten stayed four nights. One day they arranged a tour to Tikal with Mariella, a guide they use often and is *amazing*. The process of getting across the border is long but their guides made the process easy on both sides. One day we did a cave tubing tour which everyone enjoyed, especially the kids. One day we ventured on our own to Xunantunich which we enjoyed as much as Tikal. We took breakfast and lunch at the resort and all our meals were delicious. Our kids especially loved the fry jacks for breakfast: pillows of fried dough that they could put syrup on, yum. One member of our group is gluten free and they were able to accommodate her. My mother had a birthday on the trip and they were able to make a delicious chocolate cake with candles to help us celebrate. In the evenings we relaxed in the meal area and were able to self-serve beer or other drinks from the bar. They keep a jug of purified water which is very convenient and appreciated. Every member of our group loved where we stayed, the thatch roofs are charming and the location is beautiful and has lots of space for relaxation. Lovely! I hope we get to come back.
