Lovely, peaceful, commodious, great cocktails & dining, delightful staff, native wildlife, nice pool, sitting on balcony listening to the river & rain are just some of the pleasures to be had. Unfortunately, we came with Tropical Storm Sara, so there were no river activities or tours available. The inversion factor with the weather caused the neighboring cabins woodsmoke from their fire to pour into our cabin and I suffered asthma attacks our entire stay. The cabins aren’t air conditioned so my husband was so uncomfortable because I had to have the cabin closed up. Factors of our timing & placement within the fully booked resort and not the resort’s fault. Just something to consider as you book. Don’t come during hurricane season or if you have asthma. Our family of four are all gf for health reasons, not by choice. The dining staff went to great lengths to prepare safe dishes to eat for us which was greatly appreciated!

What a beautiful resort buried deep in the jungle. I appreciated how friendly all the staff was, and they genuinely seemed to want my son and I to have a great stay. We were offered a complimentary bird-watching tour, which was nice, and we elected a resort sponsored tour of the Barton caves, which was magnificent! Daily breakfast is good, with fresh pancakes and fruit. Bartenders are all nice and make a good drink. Thanks so much!

Fantastic resort! We loved everything about it. What you may want to know: staff was just amazing! Getting there was tricky, but not too hard. All paved roads from the airport to the drive, but the driveway is long and unpaved. They take care of your bags and if needed you can drive up to your walkway to your bungalow. No TV, in room but I didn't need or want one. The restaurant and bar areas are open air, allowing a view of the jungle and the river. Food was great, and not expensive, 2 new specials every night. Bar drinks about 9 compared to 15 in San Pedro. They will set up any trips or events you want to do ahead of time, ring coffee and banana bread to your door at 7 am. Hike, walk, be lazy in your dip pool on your private deck, or go to the main pool. Lunch available at the pool. Everything surounded by beautiful jungle plants, trees, flowers. They out out fruit for the birds in the morning by the restaurant, so we saw Tuccans, iguanas, and one evening we saw an armadillo. All the staff is friendly and calls you by name. Amazing place. We will be back.

Overpriced for what it really was
The resort in itself is very well located overlooking the Macal River. We paid extra to get a "Cloud 9 Suite) with a little pool in our terrace but unfortunately that little pool was too cold to soak and enjoy. Other than that, the room was comfortable even though the faucet and shower were of poor quality. Our biggest disappointment was the quality of the food which was also overpriced for the quality and size served. Also, we thought that offering a "continental" breakfast, when you pay your room a total of $320/night, was a little stingy since they always charge extra should you want eggs. It's better to add $20 to the daily rate and offer a full breakfast. Overall, we had a good time but it was just ok and certainly overpriced for what it was.

We will definitely be staying here again. I cannot say enough nice things. They really took care of us and made our stay magical.

What an awesome experience at Mystic River! After researching several places to stay in the Belizean jungle, my girlfriend, friends, and I decided on this one. The staff went above and beyond for our stay, even throwing a thought out surprise dinner for our friend’s bday. Steve, Leo, Sylvia, and Darwin were top notch and provided both great service and a wonderful experience with conversation and suggestions. The ambiance was everything we were hoping for and love the secluded jungle environment. Would highly recommend booking any tours through them as well, especially the ATM one which exceeded all expectations. Thank you Mystic River!! 10/10

The staff was great and very helpful, our room and the adjoining private plunge pool were clean and well built, the restaurant was amazing, the facilities were well cared for.
