Highly recommended
Fantastic. An oasis of luxury in a tropical forest. The grounds are amazing - like staying in a botanical garden. Staff was very friendly and helpful. All meals at the on-site restaurant were excellent. Pool is fantastic. Only drawback is no air conditioning. It does cool off just a little by late at night, but the humidity is real. During the day, jumping in the pool is a great way to cool off. Well located for day excursions to nearby Mayan ruins including Xunantunich and the must-do ATM cave.

Fantastic stay at The Lodge at Chaa Creek. The team couldn't have been friendlier and more accommodating. Each person we interacted with was genuine, thoughtful, and was passionate about Belize! I recommend everyone book the cooking class through the hotel.

Very well run, comfortable jungle lodge. Beautiful property, and accomodations.Very friendly staff, terrific bar and breakfast. Lunch/Dinner food isn't very appetizing and requires improvement and refinement given the incredible access to fresh ingredients. It was disappointing, and even moreso compared to how excellent everything else was. Unfortunately, due to the remoteness, we had to eat there.it was our only option.

The property is amazing; the food is excellent. Everyone is superfriendly. The beds were mildewed and no amount oc changing sheets or disinfectant could change this. Onsite guides were mixed - some were excellent; others were average. There si a lot to do right n the property , and the property os beautiful. Not impressed by their lack of concern tot he mildew issue. Yes, they tried to correct it but never followed up to make sure we were ok (which we were not) - we were going to extend our stay but decided not to.
