A perfect short getaway for kids to see butterflies and learn about their life cycle at different stages. First light is an ideal time to observe colorful birds under a rainforest canopy.

Big Rock Waterfalls and Big Rock Falls are 2 km away. The granite bedrock and red soils of the Mountain Pine Ridge meet the limestone and moist tropical broadleaf forests of the 264,000-acre Chiquibul National Park and the Caracol Archaeological Reserve.

Spa and Villa Services

The Waterfall Spa offers treatments, wraps, and massages, as well as access to a hot pool overlooking cascading waterfalls. Belize spa features staff trained at the Sacred Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok.

“This hillside lodge provides a secluded experience amid Belize's Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, offering a variety of dining options, including vegetarian cuisine, and activities like horseback riding to waterfalls. While the lack of air conditioning in some accommodations might be a drawback for some, the attentive staff and tranquil setting create a restful escape; it's a place to unwind and appreciate nature's quiet charm.”
