"Go here! We took our 17 and 12 y/o and no one wanted to leave. The staff is the friendliest and most anticipatory you will come across. They have your table setup each day, if they hear you mention wanting to try something they will make it happen (they literally went into the jungle and picked bread fruit for us), and they had items ready for every activity we had mentioned possibly wanting to do. They gave jungle, water activities, and excursions and they are all the cheapest we have found (25 USD jet skis or ATV/cave tour!) Great for kids. They have animals, a swing, a two story water slide, a play house, and water is shallow and calm. If you are worried about transportation they will get you (for a fee) and take you via taxi and water taxi through the jungle. It’s a secluded place with no other resorts. This means it doesn’t feel like a tourist trap (but that you may want to make a pit stop at the grocer). Belizean owned and, while it’s only been a lodge for a few years, the property has been in their family for generations. It’s an eco lodge. They grow a lot of the food they serve and they use solar panels for electricity. They are also making several changes to the property to encourage the animal habitats. A few minor details to note: no hot water (normal for this region), AC works great! Do ask them to restock the water in your room (it’s $1 USD a bottle at the bar). The WiFi is OK. Rooms r basic but beds r comfy, I’ll be back! "

"We had the place to ourselves and the beautiful wildlife right on the river. Shanna and Kenny were wonderful and handled every aspect of our trip. The pool and bbq were fun! I would definitely stay here again. The family of Howler Monkeys with babies were my favorite part. Peaceful, serene, and in the jungle."

"There was a lack of communication on my behalf, and I wasn’t able to stay the first night. After resolving the issue, they were very accommodating and friendly. The place is very beautiful, classy and safe. The restaurant was exceptionally good. When I go back to Belize, I will definitely be staying there. Fantastic experience. I would highly recommend this place. "

"What a beautiful resort! Kaleb was our host checking in. Very professional and friendly. There was a small issue with our room, but it was quickly rectified beyond our expectations. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous with giant iguanas running around. We dined at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We had a chance to interact with the owner Beverly and she was wonderful and gracious. Upon checking out, I interacted with Dryane, again, very professional and friendly. I chose this location as it was close to both Altun Ha and the Baboon sanctuary, which both come highly recommended from me. Black Orchid is a wonderful place to stay. I hope to return someday."

"Friendly staff, great atmosphere. The horse riding was amazing! The owners are absolutely amazing. Dinner and breakfast are overpriced for what you get. The rooms are spacious and the design is fancy. Only thing is that it's a bit run-down and would benefit from some renovations. "

"Very clean and comfortable "
