Belize: eco lodge

If you are looking for a spot in the jungle, great hosts, two awesome dogs and cat - Parrot's Nest is for you! Yes it's the jungle. Yes it's rustic. Yes, Theo made one of the best dinners we had on our whole trip. Marcus & Theo were great - friendly and helpful, they even found us a guide to float the river who was also going to drive us back to Belize City to catch the water taxi to our next destination. Talk about service! We enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at Calico Jacks. The staff was so kind and helpful with everything from food to activity recommendations. The room, restaurant, pool and grounds space were clean and the A/C works great after a day of hiking. The location is great for visiting San Ignacio, Xunantunich, Mountain Pine Ridge, and the small villages of San Antonio and Cristo Rey.

Marcela exhibited remarkable hospitality. Furthermore, she extends that warmth not only towards me as a host but also to other guests. Additionally, her friendliness, warm welcome, and readiness to assist in finding excursions and restaurants was truly exceptional. Moreover, the accommodations were beautiful, lush vegetation, a pool, comfortable beds and plenty of free drinks offered. Marcela’s place is truly an oasis that we will gladly return to.

We loved our stay at parrots nest! Theo and Marcus were great hosts, from recommending local guides to restaurants. Theo even made me a mini birthday cake for my birthday! that was very special. My son enjoyed playing by the river. we stayed in room 7 which was perfect for a family of 3. definitely would recommend!

This was truly an oasis in the middle of the jungle. The staff was super friendly and would hang out with us. They were extremely accommodating and provided recommendations for places to go and things to see. We were in the area mainly for birdwatching, but we talked about other animals out in nature. We definitely want to come back again.

Alisa is een leuke en lieve vrouw. Wil met alles helpen. Wijst je mooie zwemplekken in de rivier. Waar je de lekkerste ijsjes kunt kopen en regelt een chocolade tour voor je. De Maya tempel Lubaantun is op loopafstand en zeker een bezoek waard. Er is geen gelegenheid om zelf te koken maar Alisa of haar dochters koken met alle liefde een heerlijke maaltijd die je gezellig met hun op eet. Na een ongeluk moesten we met spoed naar een arts. Alisa stelde me gerust en sprong meteen met ons in de auto. Gelukkig werden we snel en goed geholpen. Ook toen we al weer vertrokken waren informeerde Alisa nogmaals of het nog goed gaat. Heel fijn

Our time at Parrot’s Nest was a real highlight of our time in Belize. The place we rented was exactly as described, and very clean. It was closer to town and places to eat than expected, but was fairly quiet and felt quite secluded. Theo and Markus were wonderful hosts - welcoming, easy to chat with and gave great recommendations for food and activities. Our kids loved hanging out in the common area, playing games and eating the delicious breakfasts, but the best part was tubing down the river. Holly, the dog, guided us for our floats back to the lodge and just loved on our boys. Hearing and seeing the howler monkeys on our last morning just topped off a beautiful stay.

Beautiful space and serene surroundings. I had a last minute reservation for a civil wedding with a few family members, the hosts was so accommodating and wanted to make sure things were perfect for my special day. The patio was more than enough for what we needed it for, super grateful that we were given options on a space to hold a short ceremony. I would come back and stay for a few days, such a peaceful space. Also loved the cows!!

A lovely spot close to town but tucked away in a beautiful, peaceful area. Loved waking up every morning and reading on the porch overlooking the river (note: rooms 1&2 have river views) and listening to the birds. The AC unit worked well and the bedding was like a 5 star hotel. Host was helpful with local recommendations, taxi drivers, etc. We had a rental car and enjoyed being a key to come and go freely. Pool was nice, never crowded. Would stay here again.

Debbie and Blair were amazingly welcome and because it was available, they upgraded us to the bungalow, with lots of space and more amenities than a regular room (i.e TV, fridge, living room, separate bedroom, etc.) the grounds are very beautiful and peaceful. They went far and beyond expectations to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. it was conveniently located for many activities (Zoo, ATM cave, Barton Creek). we would stay again. thank you.

Easy check in, super friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are large and clean. Grounds are well maintained. Pool gets busy on the weekends but it was great for the kids. Only complaint would be the lack of water pressure made it difficult to get a good shower. Would definitely stay again.
