    Website photos dont do justice to its beauty. Googlemap doesnt take you there directly but ask Crystal and she will direct you no problem!

    The property is well- hidden in a little bit of paradise. The rooms were just great, “chic” and superclean. It is a fantastic place! Highly highly reccommended. A note on the staff: -Crystal ( hope spelling is right!). She was superhelpful with info from booking to check-out. Great host - cleaners ( apologies as I dont know their names). Just fantastic! Also, I left a large amount of money in the room when we left ( thought I lost it somewhere else) . Everything was returned to me after few days. Chapeau!!

    Christelle and her husband are incredible hosts. We loved the privacy and green all around us. This was a great stay for a short trip to San Ignacio. Super easy to get to town from here. Clean and beautiful cabanas.

    Luxurious stay by the river. Don't be shy to ask for pickup by the owner in a 4x4 if your vehicle can't make it on a rainy day. It is worth the effort. The lodges are superbly furnished.

    You need an SUV or some kind of car that sits up higher than a sedan, wasn’t expecting the road to be as bad as it was, but we found all roads to someplace good in Belize, like the ruins, have bad roads. Just be prepared for slow bumpy ride in. Look for little signs to get there, it’s not well marked.

    Beautiful stylish rooms with all amenities needed and a very comfy king size bed. View of the river is lovely and the place is so peaceful. We loved sitting on the deck in the afternoons watching the river flow by and then watching the lightening bugs at dark. You need bug spray. It is remote, so do your shopping before going there, the road into the lodge is very bumpy. There is a gas grill for cooking and pretty good sized frig. Cristol is a wonderful host who greeted us and helped with our luggage. She was very helpful with directions to places and had good suggestions for places to eat.

    The dirt road is not in good shape, but that’s par for the course in Belize after the rains. I appreciated that it was just as secluded as other lodges in the area, but much closer to town.

    The owner was friendly and responded to our needs. She arranged an early pickup so we could make our 7 am tour which left from town. She checked in frequently to make sure we were 100% happy with our stay.

    You need a 4x4 to get in and out of the property because the long driveway isn’t paved

    The road leading up to the property was challenging given the recent rains. Ensure you have a 4wd to minimize any issues.

    The property is wonderful - with just 4 cabins, it's peaceful and quiet. The property is located just 5 mins from town, hence restuarants, shopping etc. are easy accessible. The cabins are well furnished and have a lovely view of the river. Our kids enjoyed playing with the dogs and chickens on the property. Lots of fireflies in the evening adding extra charm to the property. Crystal, the host was very helpful and communicative at all times.

    The bathroom smelled a bit like river water because we had a ton of rain during the time right before we arrived and it caused the truck carrying the fresh water to be delayed. There was so much rain that some roads were unpassable. I am assuming this will be rectified quickly. The road going to the lodge is very bumpy. Be aware that a 4 wheeled drive vehicle or truck would be preferable for this area and going up into any rainforest areas nearby! The signage to Yuma's could be better.

    The bungalows were really nice and clean. The hosts provided coffee, sugar and creamer and drinking water. The bed is a comfortable king size and the AC worked great! The view from the porch is really nice and you can see a lot of wildlife. The dogs that live there are very friendly and cute. The hosts were accommodating and very helpful in getting us to our vehicle due to the road/ dirt driveway being unpassable due to the amount of rain that fell in the 4 days prior. They came and picked us up and delivered us back to our car multiple times. This is a fairly new property and they are working hard to make it a great place to spend a vacation.

    The property and lodges are beautiful, even better than the online pictures if that’s possible. There were so many positives about our experience including the comfortable beds, view of the sunrise from our room, privacy of the lodge but only 5 min drive to downtown, the sweetest puppies on the property, and the most welcoming hosts that ensured we had everything we could ever need. All of our tours (ATM and Tikal) were willing to pick us up from the lodge without charging any extra fees. Would highly recommend :)

    We felt dependent on the staff to get closer to the town, but they were more than accommodating - we just felt bad to ask. The road was rained out and muddy, so walking was impossible. They are graveling the road though, so this was just temporary.

    The rooms are beautiful and the staff are attentive. They thought of everything we could need and it was there!

    We went in March and It was too hot and even with the air conditioning it's been challenging. We didn't have the chance to enjoy any of the outdoors around the lodge because it was extremely hot.

    The location is convenient to visit some of the attractions of the area. Loved the details of the interior design and decor of the lodge. The manager is available for any questions and suggestions to give.

    There was one massive problem with the place; the road to it is a dirt track that goes on for 10-20 minutes depending on your transport and the weather. The slightest amount of rain makes it really really hard to reach without a 4 by 4. It’s a mud pit. They are planning on upgrading the road but when we were here in December 2023 it was a massive problem as we didn’t have a car so relied on taxis. They either got stuck or refused to take us the whole way so we were dependent on Christelle and team to help us. Less serious gripes are that there is no pool (to come soon apparently) and there is no breakfast at all so you make it yourself in what is a very well equipped outdoor kitchen. So you need to go shopping first!

    The huts are brand new, modern, clean and beautiful. They really are a pleasure to stay in and the place has beautiful views and a relaxing feel. Christelle was super helpful and friendly and a really lovely host. The family living on site (Manuel, his son and wife) were also super helpful and hospitable. The dogs running around were super friendly too!

    I didn’t like that it was so far away from the main road. That there was no pool. And is sitting on the porch was not comfortable . The bed was just not comfortable and their comforter was just too heavy for the weather heat and humidity. I didn’t like that. I got bitten by so many mosquitoes, so bring your bug spray if you like the jungle life.

    The room was lovely very clean. I like that they had a little kitchen, microwave, coffee pot, and utensils and dishes and plates. I thought that was very nice. Felt like home away from home. Love that the curtains for a white, the bed was white and the towels for a white. I do recommend more hooks and a bigger, nightstand table.
