Quinn Jun 14, 2026 07:52:05 AM
Summary: The staff was amazing. Beautiful setting. I would go back for sure. Massage by the river was epic.
Alexander Apr 13, 2026 01:40:44 AM
Summary: The property is beautiful, with well appointed rooms. The wait staff were very friendly but not attentive, probably given the 15% service charge added to all bills so they don’t need to work for their tips like they would have to in other places. Prices for food is expensive - this is likely due to location & the fact this is a nice hotel. It also doesn’t help that they price everything in USD which is at odds with most other places in Belize. If you don’t have your own vehicle, it is difficult to get to any other restaurants. Overall, would recommend based on the location & facilities
Beatriz Mar 11, 2026 12:50:31 PM
Summary: This place was just jaw dropping from our balcony view. The entire place is stunning! But ALL staff went above to make my husband and I feel very welcomed.
Diane Feb 25, 2026 12:53:44 AM
Summary: Beautiful 5 Sisters falls- amazing location. Staff were helpful and friendly. I would love more emphasis on attracting birds and supporting birders.

Summary: Has the most amazing views, waterfall on the property. Pick fresh veggies from the garden and they cook it for breakfast.
Markus Jan 27, 2026 10:34:54 AM
Summary: The resort and entire staff is simply amazing! The onsite restaurant is excellent! The riverside beach makes for a relaxing setting with great waterside service from the bar and restaurant. The tours are led by very knowledgeable guides who are proud to share their culture and heritage.

Summary: Beautiful resort with very friendly and helpful staff. Most comfortable bed of our stay.
Michele Jan 7, 2026 10:08:05 PM
Summary: This hotel is the most unique and special place I think we’ve ever stayed! The property is absolutely beautiful. The five sisters waterfall on property takes the place of a resort pool and it is the most gorgeous and peaceful place to spend a day. We ended up spending two full days down there since we loved it so much. The rooms are beautiful. My husband was nervous about how hot it might be without AC, but it was not a problem at all. The service was incredible. Most of the staff at the hotel knew all four of our names and treated us like family. If I had to get a con, for us Americans, the drive into the property was challenging. I definitely recommend not doing it at night your first time and taking it very slow. But we did it multiple times over our stay of four nights and we were fine as long as you go slow. The only other issue we experienced was the tram to take you down to the waterfalls was broken during your thing. That seemed to be a fluke, but it was very disappointing as the steps up and down a challenge and there was no food or drink service down there. But we would absolutely stay here again! We were there with our two teenage daughters and it was everyone’s favorite place we have ever stayed!
