Lovely location, within walking distance of Cahel Pech ruins. Lovely breakfasts/evening meals, overlooking the canopy, great pool to cool off in at the end of a day. Saw a kinkajou, aguti and ferruginous pygmy owl in the grounds. Staff very kind and helpful. Restaurant overlooking views of San Ignacio.

Loved the location. Easy to walk along safe beach, great for swimming and photographing brown pelicans and frigate birds. Breakfasts fine, overlooking beach. Evening meals expensive, but there are lots of other places to explore including an Italian restaurant (La Tratoria) nearby for reasonable delicious meals. Staff very kind and so helpful. Room very quiet and comfortable with lovely hot shower.

What a wonderful location. The views over the lagoon are superb. We thoroughly recommend the early morning boat birding tour with Leonard, whose knowledge cannot be bettered. We also enjoyed several birding walks both around the lodge, on the shoreline and in the pine forest, all wonderful. A night walk was also a great experience. Food was traditional and delicious (though too much salt - for our taste and health, is added to many dishes - our only recommendation, especially as there are salt and pepper pots on every table should one prefer). Every member of staff was kind and helpful and we felt looked after the whole time we were there (5 nights). Day trip to Laminai was great day trip. Thoroughly recommend and came away having seen over 100 species of different birds!

This was the best butterfly farm we have every visited. Our guide was knowledgeable and kind. We were shown all the stages from how the eggs are collected, the growing on of the pupae and watched butterflies emerging. There was also an opportunity to walk in the forested grounds and sit and watch hummingbirds feeding.

Having visited Mayan ruins at Tikal, Cahel Pech and Laminai our visit to Xunantunich was by far the best. The drive there was over a hand cranked car ferry, which was fun. Our guide used to work as an archaeologist on this site, so was extremely knowledgeable and had both the official story and his own ideas - so wonderful. The ruins are inspiring with views over into Guatamala. We got there quite early, so had the site largely to ourselves.

Unexpected and amazing experience floating down a river through ancient cave system. Thoroughly recommend

This trip would be better if we had left at 6am, rather than 8am. By the time we arrived at the reserve, the day was already very warm, and we missed any early birds and wildlife. However the walk in the jungle was beautiful

Cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Make sure you go on the 6 am boat tour to maximise the best light and the most birds. 3 hrs in boat before breakfast. Leonard was our guide, and he is truly outstanding in both knowledge and looking after his guests.

30 mile boat trip to Laminai, on a speed boat. Would have preferred the boat to have travelled more slowly, but appreciate that there would not have been enough time, as the boat trip was already an hour long. Felt the speeding boats on the river did little to enhance any animals in the water or on the surrounding trees on the banks of the river.

Nice clean private cabin with very comfortable bed. Restaurant was good and the overall service was excellent.

Beautiful location and view from the room. Everything was very clean and well maintained. It was nice to have a kitchen where you could prepare meals.

Amazing hotel, incredible view, access to the beach, very helpful staff and a restaurant on site that is one of the best in Belize.

A very quite, clean, comfortable retreat to jump off to see the Myan ruins! Paula is absolutely the best! All our guides mentioned in our review were great! Definitely a place to return to.

Perfect....! 80 degrees, warm balmy breeze, toes in the sand, perfect food, I could go on & on! But you get the picture so don't wait, go to Belize, it was wonderful!!!!

Staying here is great as an on the way though option. The real life of Belize is outside of Belize City. So if you are passing thru for a night it works well. We did eat at the roof to of Tito's Vino I think it was called & had a wonderful evening sunset dinner that was delicious!!! Go there to eat, amazing!!!

Don't wait, just go! Book your trip thru Alex & KimKim. You will not regret this trip!!! Just nothing short of incredible & amazing!

Please don't miss this amazing site & if your can request Jorge as your guide & driver you scored big!!! He was the best & the information he carries around is like a digital download. You will be amazed at this site. One day is really not long enough so when we go back we will stay longer to get the full effect of this amazing place.

All I can say again is go! Don't wait book your trip & go! It is beautiful, exciting, romantic.... Whatever feeds your soul you will find it in Belize with the friendliest, happiest people in earth I believe. They welcome you with open arms & you leave as friends! All our " friends" that we have helped while we were in Belize have a standing offer at our home so we can return the favorite of their excellent care & hospitality. I hope they take us up on our offer!!!

I rated this even though we did not do this outing. But our friends absolutely lived it & their guide was amazing & showed them all the sites!

This was a down day for us. We had been in the go with the ruins & we slowed our pace to just enjoy some gentle walks, education about the area, culture & history from Jacer our guide. It was a perfect day to slow down & just enjoy some local sites.

Everything was perfect! Everyone was on time, friendly & helpful!

What's not to love about warm water, fish, sea turtles, string rayes!

Our guide looked hard but it didn't get to see the manatee but we got to see so many other marine wildlife, dolphins played in the boat wake! How fun!!!

We had a Cabana room and it was wonderful. It was our own little house and surrounded by jungle/forest, but just a few steps from the pool. There is a restaurant right on site and the food is very good. You can text with the owner and have your breakfast ready for you at specific times in the morning so you can eat before your excursions.

What a beautiful resort right on the ocean. We had a jungle bungalow on the 2nd floor and it was a great view. There are all sorts of different rooms to choose from. The pool area is beautiful and there is a restaurant and a Coffee/Drink bar too. They do not serve liquor, however, the coffee, wine and beer was enough for us. The only thing I did not like was no TV in any guest rooms. The only way to watch TV was in the public area by the pool and bar.

Excellent accomodations and good food. Grumpy front desk staff was the only negative.

Once in a lifetime experience

Beautiful. The cooperatives felt like a shakedown, though, with disinterested presenters explaining the work and then hovering until a purchase wasade.

Incredible views. Great experience overall.

Beautiful property, wonderful food, clean and comfortable room, great amenities and helpful staff. The front desk personnel were less friendly and professional unfortunately.

I am already missing the views of San Ignacio and the staff at Falling Leaves Lodge. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, it was exceptional service. We felt like family to Paula and Kevin and would love to go back one day.

We didn't get to do the cave tubing part of this tour because of high waters from all the rain but we opted to still do the ziplining. We are so glad we did! It was so much fun and absolutely beautiful. Give the guides your phone for the best pictures and videos of your family.

You can't go to San Ignacio and not visit the Xunantunich ruins. It was breathtaking and our guide was very knowledgeable with a lot of fun facts.
