The staff were excellent Cathy, Adrian, Vince, Lilly were fabulous hosts. Such wonderful, attentive and likeable people. The area is somewhat remote and may not be for everyone but it is still the old Belize culture in this area. Free use of kayaks on the river that surrounds the property. The food was excellent as well.

Mattress on queen bed should be replaced in our room.

The location was stunning, the food was simple but tasty, the birds were extraordinary – huge variety coming to feeders on site. Various other types of wildlife wandering around. The guide Stephen was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Staff were lovely.

We were very fortunate to have a room with air-conditioning as it would have been very uncomfortable without it. I understand that some of the cottages did not have air-conditioning.

Amazing setting, secluded. Lots of birds. Swimming pool that was perfect for cooling off in the afternoon. Staff looks after your every need. They have a restaurant and the food was outstanding. They were able to accommodate our vegan eating habits. Lovely hot water showers. Ours had a garden view.

That we didn’t stay longer!

Staying at Big Falls Lodge is a delightful experience. At first you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere and then slowly realize you are surrounded by an amazing Mayan community that is committed to their heritage and their Blanco and took a tour with the Mayan guide. As you drive around it looks like there's nobody around but come the evening the area comes alive with all sorts of activity.

We like preparing our own food and the larger cottages could use some additions to their kitchen. However, the Lodge just changed hands and they are planning exciting changes, one will be more nature walks.

Outstanding birding destination with too resident guide Steven who is knowledgeable and passionate about Belizean birds. He took us for an unforgettable trip to the foothills of the Maya Mountains. Try birding from the river using the complimentary kayaks! See photos below

Very helpful and friendly staff. Casitas were perfect. Grounds are beautiful. I loved kayaking around the property on the river.

I cannot think of anything I didn't like. Pretty much a jungle paradise. Loved all the birds.
