Nothing. We loved the natural surroundings.

The setting of this hotel is absolutely spectacular. The layout of the property and the way that they conserved the jungle makes it the most beautiful property we’ve ever stayed at. We stayed at the resort one day to do the zip line and swing, and my family thought that was the highlight of the trip. They have also done a tremendous job of staffing and we enjoyed everyone who worked there. We often sat around chatting with staff for hours and we adored everyone.

Better signs to find Calico Jack´s.

Rustic and very comfortable. Good and fresh food and drinks.

We loved being immersed in in the jungle environment. The property was so beautiful and super clean and landscaped nicely. All of the employees were friendly and went above and beyond to keep us comfortable . We arrived well after dinner and Maria and staff accommodated us with a lovely dinner. Flexible with transportation for our round trip arrival and departure home. We loved it!

Mosquitos were rough on the trails in the wet season! No dinner service (might just be off season), but town is close by.

Great stay, nice birds and the best fried jack in the world (seriously, get it for bfast). It was quiet and the hosts were wonderful, very attentive staff. Saw a Northern Pootoo and other excellent birds.

Some facilities have seen better days e.g. pool and basketball court. Paid facilities such as ziplining are quite expensive

Staff were really friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we might need

Nothing, it was wonderful!

This was an amazing gem of a place! The staff were so welcoming and lovely, the location is tucked away in a magical part of the jungle, the rooms were really spacious and comfortable, and the food was fantastic. Our family of 5 (with 3 teenage kids) loved it. It's remote but so worth it if you are looking for peace and quiet. Our organized tours were also awesome. Only good things to say!!

Not due to any fault of their own, Belize is currently struggling with wildfires, so the smoke and ash has put a damper on some things. The smoke comes and goes throughout the day.

The location was quiet. The food was wonderful. The service, especially Maria and Joselyn, were exceptional. They went out of their way to accommodate our meals even with our crazy schedule. They were such nice people! The room was nice and clean and much larger than I expected from seeing the pictures.

The shower was terrible, the restaurant food was uneven, no AC in restaurant and apparently no standing fans.

Beautiful outdoor space, nice pool, could hear the hollers, spotted a toucan. Really enjoyed Julio.

nothing, this place is a must see resort

overall great out of the way quiet peaceful and safe! the staff really made the visit enjoyable!

The road to get there is really rough but I guess that is why it is a great out of the way place.

We had a great time. Lots of birds to watch from the surrounding jungle. Great food in the restaurant. A lovely pool to swim. Staff was warm and friendly.

Only real gripe is that the listing indicated breakfast was included. We were charged for breakfast and when I asked about the free breakfast, there was no explanation about why it wasn't possible or the misrepresentation on the website. FYI: 4x4 car recommended. Ride in is bumpy and slow but adjacent to all the adventurous things nearby like Barton Creek, ATM, etc.

The staff were lovely and the lodging was immaculate, no small feat considering it's in the thick of the jungle! We even did a zip-line on site with our toddler, a memory that will last a lifetime!

The quality and availability of the food was lacking. Many items on the menu were not available. Those that were available, weren’t very good (and as you’re a half mile from town down a dirt road in the jungle, it’s not easy to find an alternative). The different tours (zip lining/hikes) are kind of pricey. I can live with that but then they’re charging for drinking water in our room and even had to pay a dollar (U.S) for 4 paper coffee filters for the coffee maker in our room. Considering the price of accommodations, I felt we were being gouged.

Very nice accommodations, nice pool area and lovely grounds. The zip lining was great with excellent and friendly guides.

The staff were amazing (big shout out to Julio) and the grounds are incredible! The food was delicious and all made fresh (as were the drinks). The resort also offers a range of activities including night hikes through the jungle to spot the wildlife as well as zip lining! Overall an amazing time at Calico Jack’s - would definitely recommend for a jungle escape!!!

Quiet, beautiful rooms and staff are all outstanding

This isn't really a criticism of the resort which is gorgeous. It's a bit isolated and as you are driving up, you might wonder if this is a good idea as the area around the resort looks quite run down. Hang in there though because the resort itself is great! Also check out the Rio On pools nearby.

Fantastic resort, sweetest staff who really went out of their way to make it a great experience. Some in my family did the extreme tour and loved it. Food at restaurant was really good too.

The staff were very nice and very helpful. Zipline right on the site. I also really liked the cottage I stayed in. The bed was comfy and the cottage even had a little kitchenette.

We lived this adventure. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. We didc2 tours with them and highly suggest the cave canoeing and the zip lining!!

There is no other option to get to the resort than getting a taxi from San Ignacio or asking them to pick you up somewhere. For the 14km they drove us to the main road they charged $30USD. It felt a little bit like they are taking advantage about the fact that you rely on them. The free bikes mentioned in the description have not been available even thou we were the only Gasts.

It was a very nice place in the jungle area. Everyone working there was very kind. We booked some tours with them, they have been very knowledgeable. The food was good. The rooms are nice. Zipline was fun.

The very slow elevator up to our room on 2nd floor.

Julio and Rigoberto were both excellent!! They made you feel special, and went above and beyond. The 2 young men who took us on the zip line were also wonderful! They made sure everything was safe, and while hiking showed us trees, names, what used for, poison or not, insects, termites, lizards, very informative! The meals were so enjoyable, made fresh from scratch just for you, awesome!! I would definitely recommend!

We liked the privacy and guest service. The property us quiet and tranquil and very cool and calm. You see a lot of plants and bird chirping about. We enjoy our time with family.

One of our bedrooms did not have a ceiling fan. A pedestal fan would have made the room more comfortable.

The resort is nestled in the jungle, with beautiful amenities, such as a swimming, pool, and on-site restaurant. The rooms were spacious, and the kitchenette was decently, equipped, including a small refrigerator. Having a zip-line on the property was an added bonus. Everything else is a minimum of 20 to 30 minute bumpy drive away

Off the beaten path. Staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. You feel like you have the whole property to yourself after dark. The best bang for your buck!
