Book a hotel near Rio Blanco National Park, Toledo District

"We had a great one night stay. The authentic decor was nice and the room was very clean. Location is right on the Caribbean with a small pier and a short walk to a beach and shopping. Staff was very helpful and the restaurant has traditional food that was very good. "

"The Lodge was amazing in that it kept the true nature of the jungle. "

"Jurassic Park setting! With no raptors! Breakfasts were beyond excellent. So peaceful, excellent place to unwind. Super friendly people to help every need. Eladio's cocoa farm highly recommended. Very knowledgeable but does require some hiking, lunch is included! Very proud man! 15 children, no TV I THINK! LOL Another must the Belizean Spice Farm where you smell, taste, crush and rub things on your body, just mind blowing. Best biology class I ever had. They give you a fruit that is sour, a bit down the trail they give you these seeds and give you the sour fruit again and it is like sugar.In Punta Gorda if you are looking for maracas or a awesome sounding mahogany skin drum go to port authority and ask for Rodney/BamBam both sound incredible!"

"Wow! Where to start? This Lodge was such a Gem to have discovered. Beautiful grounds, amazing staff who take the time to aid in any way you didn’t even know you wished for. So sharing of knowledge of their lovely grounds or surrounding areas when asked. My lodging was Devine as well! "

"We loved our stay here. The property is very unique. Loved the Spice Farm Tour. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent food!"

"Our stay at Hikatee Cottages in Toledo, Belize, was pure magic—a true slice of paradise! The property is a vibrant oasis, brimming with colorful flowers and lush greenery that feels straight out of a dream. One unforgettable moment was spotting the rare and exquisite black orchid, Belize’s national flower—a breathtaking experience for any nature lover. As the tropical sun set behind the treeline, the resonant calls of howler monkeys echoed through the rainforest, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly ambiance that made us feel deeply connected to the wild beauty around us.What made Hikatee Cottages even more special for us was its fully off-grid setup, perfectly aligning with our values of sustainability and eco-conscious living. Its secluded location, a bit out of the way, only added to its charm. We cherished the peacefulness and sense of privacy that came with being tucked away in such a serene, natural setting.The cottages were thoughtfully designed with cozy beds for restful nights. Allison, the amazing host, greeted us with fresh-cut flowers in each room, a gesture that made us feel so welcome. The main house featured a full-service kitchen, perfect for preparing meals.The grounds are a haven for serenity.With stunning artwork, a tranquil bar area, and Allison’s warmth and attentiveness, Hikatee Cottages far exceeded our expectations. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful, eco-conscious getaway. We can’t wait to return to this enchanting retreat!"
