Cayo District: soggiorni in agriturismo

The space was rustic but clean and had everything we needed. The bed was quite comfortable. Richard is very responsive, and his dad Peter was very friendly and helpful. We regretted having to leave early due to Tropical Storm Sara because we had wanted to hike around a bit, but we did get to see some of the smaller crocs that live in the pond!

Echo sentiments of others. Wonderful stay, so peaceful. Trail on property is beautiful, friendly doggies next door, sunrise views, loved the pool. Esther’s meals were a lovely treat at the end of busy days. Went through three loaves of her yummy banana bread! Thanks so much!

Sophia and Robin's place is beautiful. The directions were clear and concise, and we were given suggestions before arriving on where to stop for groceries, which we wouldn't have thought to do, so it was quite helpful. We were greeted immediately by the two farm dogs who escorted us to the main house where Sophia and Robin were waiting. After a quick rundown of the area, we were left to decompress and get comfortable. Any questions throughout the week were responded to immediately and we took them up on several suggestions for activities The kitchen was fully equipped and there is also options in nearby San Antonio and Christo Rey for meals. Early mornings and evenings were spent on the porch watching birds or stars. We even saw a few bats which are much bigger than the ones we have at home, so that was fun! We would recommend Sophia and Robin's place to anyone looking for a quiet, rural setting as a base to explore the western part of the country.

This is a great place. Beautifully situated by the river and very well maintained. The kitchen had every amenity needed for cooking, and all the appliances worked great. Olga, the manager, was extremely responsive and helpful, providing lots of local information. The bed is comfortable. There were amazing flower arrangements when we arrived. We felt very well cared for. Note: the cabin is about 15 minutes drive from San Ignacio. The village of Bullet Tree has a good French bakery (!) and a vegetable stand.

I was enchanted by the setting on the jade green Mopan river. I appreciate the setup quite a lot. The cabin itself is well appointed and comfortable. The communication and support was responsive and warm. It is about a 15 minute ride into San ignacio, with the unpaved road and all. Good restaurants there and I often used delivery services. Internet was largely reliable but not 100%. I got a tourist data plan as backup and I was all set, as I was working remotely a fair bit. Aliana’s was a great find for me.

Marcela exhibited remarkable hospitality. Furthermore, she extends that warmth not only towards me as a host but also to other guests. Additionally, her friendliness, warm welcome, and readiness to assist in finding excursions and restaurants was truly exceptional. Moreover, the accommodations were beautiful, lush vegetation, a pool, comfortable beds and plenty of free drinks offered. Marcela’s place is truly an oasis that we will gladly return to.

Our time at Parrot’s Nest was a real highlight of our time in Belize. The place we rented was exactly as described, and very clean. It was closer to town and places to eat than expected, but was fairly quiet and felt quite secluded. Theo and Markus were wonderful hosts - welcoming, easy to chat with and gave great recommendations for food and activities. Our kids loved hanging out in the common area, playing games and eating the delicious breakfasts, but the best part was tubing down the river. Holly, the dog, guided us for our floats back to the lodge and just loved on our boys. Hearing and seeing the howler monkeys on our last morning just topped off a beautiful stay.

Dominic, his wife Rebecca & Martha took amazing care of us on the ranch, starting with a large portion, delicious breakfast (included) & dinner ($7 US if requested & worth so much more) which catered to our diet restrictions (no gluten, rice, corn or dairy - has almond milk for coffee) with engaging & educational conversation which we thoroughly enjoyed. The experience of the property is very restful & peaceful where you are engulfed in nature. We enjoyed how close it is to Xunantunich ruins & the botanical gardens (has a shuttle for pick up/drop off) & it's a nice stay on your way to Tikal and Caracol ruins. The owner's a farmer, but accommodations are like a Garden Villa with lots of beautiful flowers & greenery with a unique family feel - property has been in the family over 100 years. We booked a wonderful horseback ride along river to Xunantunich at a discount through their family/neighbor - St. Leonard's tours get your guide com $20 shuttle from Belize can take you to ranch

What a wonderful place! I can't say enough great things about San Lorenzo Farms. The cottages are quaint and comfy. We stayed in one with a little kitchenette that was stocked with everything you would need. The view from our cottage was amazing 🤩. The sunset could be seen sitting on a bench on a hilltop of an old covered Mayan Homesite. From here you can even see El Castillo of Xunatunich! Morning was magical, being able to see the misty rolling hillsides of the jungle. There's roosters crowing, as this bnb is located on a working farm that's been in the family for over 100 years! We even saw some toucans and some parrotlets. Dominic is an amazingly friendly host and a joy to get to know. We spoke about a bazillion interesting topics. Breakfast at the bnb was super delicious and very hearty. It definitely set us up for the rest of our days travels. Both my husband and I wished we could have stayed longer at this fabulous bnb!

Far enough away from the city to have privacy but close enough to get to everything with him 5 minutes. Really good location as far as the city traffic.

Judy's place is great. You're with a few minutes of Xunantunich Mayan Ruins, great local restaraunts, and about an hour from Big Rock Falls, Monkey Falls and Rio Pools. The check in and check out process is super easy and her and her father super accomodating. Whether just visting the area or making a stop on your way to or from Guatemala (which the border is only minutes away) i recommend staying here.

This house is beyond stunning! My daughter said it is "An In$tagram house," and it truly is! Most of the time, I feel like the pictures look better than what a house does in person, but this was not the case here. I thought the pictures were great, and the house even exceeded that in person. All of the cute little details in the house were so neat! I especially loved the map on the wall with all the pins in it from previous guests. The beds were so comfortable and everything was so clean. Being out on the back deck every morning and every evening was just amazing, listening to the birds and insects. I love how they have utilized the property the way they did. You do feel like you are in the middle of the jungle, even though you are only minutes away from Spanish Lookout! We would most definitely stay here again!
