The food was awesome! All the normal things available but the quality was awesome and the cook, Ms. J, was spectacular, friendly and made some good choices for dinner! She even made me a cake on my birthday. All of the staff was nice and I would go back! The hikes that were close were amazing and the adventure center is right on property! The zip-lining and and the repelling were awesome! I also received a massage form Hannah. I was not disappointed she had strong hands only because I asked but she had a true passion for massage. She came right to my porch. She did a great therapeutic massage.

I didn't like how far it was from a town butttttt thats what it means to be in the middle of a rainforest! LOL Also the bugs but again a rainforest. Take supplies if you need.

Loved the grounds of the resort, totally in the nature with birds & insects all around. Amazing hikes in the rainforest reserve e.g. Antelope Falls, not many people around. Had dinner & breakfast in the bar/restaurant which we really enjoyed (prices in US$ only). The girl behind the bar was lovely & took the time to chat to us about Belize & taught us some creole phrases - 10/10 for her but can’t remember her name sadly! Wish we could’ve stayed longer than one night.

I loved my stay at Bocawina Rainforest Resort! Beautiful grounds right in the entrance to the Mayflower Bocawina National Park, with access to well-maintained and easy-to-follow trails that take you to different waterfalls in the Park. All the staff were so friendly and everything was wonderfully organized and laid out. Great communication ahead of time in helping me to setup transport to Bocawina, they were very accommodating in letting me check-in early and check-out late, and they provided a nice map of all the trails and falls around. Melanie at the front desk was so lovely and helpful :) The Wild Fig Restaurant right in the resort has delicious food and great service (Stephen, the waiter, was wonderful!). The rooms were clean and comfortable and equipped with plenty of fans to keep you cool. It was a great place to show up and explore on your own, if you prefer that. They also have lots of tours that they organize. I did the trail to Antelope Falls one afternoon, which was fun and the falls were beautiful. There are ropes that you can use to help you get up the final steeper, narrow trail, but I felt completely safe. Trail was dry and not slippery, and even though it was hot, trail was shaded almost the whole way. Such a refreshing swim at the pool at the top. Make sure to bring bug spray + water! The next morning I did the Big 5 Falls loop. It's a long and adventurous route of around 11km. Again, bring the bug spray and plenty of water. My favorite was the Upper Bocawina falls, if you scramble your way up a little to the pool and main part of the waterfall. Gorgeous! Big Drop waterfall was quite surprising! Be ready for a lot of steep downhill (later uphill of course) and then pretty much rappelling down the final section with the ropes they provide. Good fun though if you're ready for a workout! Only stayed a night at Bocawina, but could definitely have stayed longer. Highly recommend staying at this resort and exploring this national park!

A lovely location in the National Park. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent - competent, helpful and efficient. We really enjoyed ziplining and a night hike.

Take bug spray to use and cover up. Being jungle there's lots of biting insects

I really enjoyed my stay at Bocawina and hiking to all the different waterfalls that they offer was the highlight of my trip. It was a beautiful location secluded in nature.

The location is a bit remote, so if you stay here, you pretty much also need to eat meals at the resort. I had two dinners and two breakfasts (no drinks) and after taxes the bill was $100 USD without gratuity. The food was good, and most meals were served buffet style, so it was plentiful. However, this seems quite high and potentially cost prohibitive for some.

The location is amazing right in the middle of the rainforest! There are a lot of trails well marked for hiking to beautiful waterfalls! The staff is very friendly!

Be aware there is no A/C in the rooms! They are offering breakfast lunch and dinner, but the prices are charged in US dollars with taxes and service charges. We rented a car and go elsewhere to eat. The food isn’t expensive in Belize, but here it was more than double. Everywhere else prices are in BZE dollars except here and they charge your card in US dollars with no credit card receipt? We found this really weird. We had dinner once and the food is ok, but not great. Bug spray is a MUST!

The resort offers a unique opportunity to stay right in the Bocawina forest reserve area, so it was ideal for hikes to the waterfalls and bird watching without having to travel anywhere. The bird watching from right in the hotel grounds was excellent. All the staff were brilliant and we really enjoyed our meals in the restaurant.

This seemed like a good place for families to stay as there is zip-lining across the resort and a playground, less well suited to couples. I would recommend developing more areas to relax - there was only 1 chair outside each room, and a single hammock for 4 rooms. A few hammocks and comfy chairs would be nice. The rooms are also not well designed for the heat as there was no airflow and you really need all fans on.

Beautiful location and amazing service from all the staff. The staff took the time to learn our names and you felt very well cared for. The food at the restaurant was delicious and a good range of choice. We did the Zipline at the Resort where Roni and Andres were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There were lots of hiking trails accessible from the Resort. We did the Antelope Waterfall trail which was challenging with the rope climbs towards the top but worth it for the picturesque swimming pool and viewpoint. Would highly recommend!

No air conditioning in the room we stayed in but two fans were included.

in the heart of the Bocawini rainforest. the grounds are immaculately kept. lots of birds too. staff are very friendly and helpful. fabulous packed lunches and delicious breakfast with home made banana bread. bar snacks in the evening.

the showers are cold. the only choice for supper was a 30 USD buffet and if you don’t feel a lot it is not good value

The location and room are beautiful and the food is really good.

The staff is really pushing for you to choose activities. Also they offer everything in USD instead of Belizian dollar which also makes the prices really high. The taxi transfer is expensive and the dinner as well, there was only a buffet option for dinner but we were not informed about this.
