“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.”
