    Stunning place to stay, with good food and poolside cocktails and lots of activities around. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did a kayak tour into San Ignacio which was super chill and the guide was very informative. Got to see monkeys and toucans!

    We did not realize that it was 4 miles down a dirt road which made coordination for some activities a little more challenging and costly than anticipated, but the property more than made up for that. I would come back in a heartbeat!

    Amazingly gorgeous property, kind and helpful staff, and the onsite food and drinks were delicious!

    If you’re not keen on tarantulas this is probably not a great place for you 😅

    The staff were incredible, all so helpful and friendly. Night walks with John to find wildlife were fun. Amazing seeing the toucans at breakfast.

    The only thing that i didn't like was the road going to the lodge. Very bumpy and just things caught me by surprise while driving up to it at night. Made sure we did the road in the daylight. I think the signage to the property could be more apparent from the road. It is 3.5 miles from the main road to the lodge. Other than that, nothing.

    This lodge was a pleasant surprise to the entire family. The staff was amazing from the reception to the dining services. The pool area was beautiful overlooking the river. The food was delicious. I think the best part of this lodge was the birdwatching right from your dining room table. The staff has a perch with food and all different types come and eat. The room was spacious and everyone was super accommodating. Highly recommend.

    Nothing!

    Sweet Songs is set in a beautiful location in the middle of the jungle. The lodge is lovely and clean and the beds were really comfortable. The facilities are great, we especially loved the pool. The staff are fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us. They were also great with the kids, especially Maysin. It’s amazing having breakfast and dinner in such beautiful surroundings, especially when kinkajous, toucans and other animals join you. We were sad to leave!

    Drinks were weak and bar wasn’t open late …..likely intentional since it was very calm family friendly place but don’t think you can party too hard or late at this place

    Rooms were very spacious and comfortable! Tours through the hotel were very easy to set up and guides were great! Bar/ restaurant was very good! We didn’t get to enjoy as much of the property as we’d liked since it was raining and we had to leave early but everything that we did see was just as perfect as the pictures online show

    distance from san pedro (particularly length of road once you leave the main road) and quality of the road to get there. room 11 was a little bit outdated and requires some renovation. was ok though and comfortable. bathroom sink not convenient to use. shower pretty bad condition. room location a bit far from the main area in the lodge.

    loved the swimming pool that was beautiful and peaceful. restaurant was very nice too.

    Wish we could have had our two rooms closer together since the second room was 4 teenagers. Took a lot more walks up and down the hill to share sunscreen, and supplies.

    We loved the surroundings and staff. Rooms are a little older, but very clean and comfortable. Pool was really nice and well maintained. River tubing was fun, but a little hike to get to the entry and exit. We rented a car and drove from Belize City. Was easy to find, but road to the lodge was a bit rough and steep. Missed my AWD/4X4 on the last 2 miles. Meals there were excellent. We did not do the all inclusive. Overall it felt like a land based cruise where our family could do individual things during the day and we could meet up for meals and time at the pool easily.

    The fact that there is only one food option and it is very expensive. The lodge will charge you $40 USD for a one way trip to town.

    The grounds at the lodger were beautiful! We enjoyed the activities that we were able to book through Sweet Songs, and all of the staff were friendly. Rita was the best bartender!

    Sweet songs jungle lodge is in the middle of the jungle and yet is classy and has all the amenities to make your stay a great one. We enjoyed floating on the river and relaxing at the pool. The food is excellent and wildlife is abundant. We have spotted tucans outside our room. We recommend to take a guided tour of the botanical gardens nearby.

    I didn’t like the room that we were first given too much since it was small and didn’t have the facilities for 4 persons.

    Since we are a family of 4 we booked a room with two double beds. The room was quite small and there was only room for two people to sit on the porch. Since renovation was being done to the room next to us and my husband complained about the noise we were upgraded to the garden cottage. I wasn’t too excited about the room but the garden cottage was fantastic for us as a family. The grounds of the resort are stunning and having the choice of swimming in the pool or tubing on the river was luxury. We loved the wildlife around the lodge.

    You could easily stay on the property and do the tours but we wanted to be a bit more independent. For this reason the location was tough. The hill up to the property is not easy with a rental car. Also, the pricing was high for tours and the food. For this reason, we did a lot on our own.

    This is a beautiful property that is well-maintained. You feel like you are living among the birds and howler monkeys. The pool area was very nice and the treehouse dining room was a lot of fun. The staff was outstanding and so friendly.

    There were lots of kids…..but, obviously, unless we book an adult only, it’s hard to avoid. Totally understand why, but that’s our only gripe. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, just know that.

    I love that it was deep in the jungle, we saw and heard so many birds and other animals. We actually were able to see the howler monkeys and were woken up by them at four in the morning one night with their loud sounds, but it was awesome!!!

    Nothing! We wished we had more time to relax and take a couple more tours. It was absolutely perfect.

    We loved how friendly and nice the staff were. Exceptional hospitality. The food was amazing, fresh, and a farm-to-table menu. The cocktails are delicious! Derby made just the most wonderful drinks poolside. I can not get over how much I loved the wildlife interaction at the lodge. The double casita was comfortable and we appreciated the AC. I loved the shower and how rustic the amenities are. We loved the tours arranged through the lodge: 5 star quality guides and everything felt so safe and comfortable from start to finish. We can not wait to go back to do more. We sat on the patio every morning and drank coffee and listened to the birds. I loved the pool and how relaxing the whole space was. It is quiet and the perfect place for a couple to relax. We did not stay in a treehouse, but they looked amazing. The beach space is beautiful and we took a canoe one day up the river which was serene. Overall, I can not say enough good things about this lodge. They have a philanthropy program and donate 5 BZD per night per room booked to a different program every month. They truly value their staff and the staff are just the hardest working and nicest people.
