    We had planned that we would fill our morning with the horseriding, but unfortunately there was a horseriding camp ongoing that had not been listed on the website as far as we had seen, so this was unavailable and left us disappointed. So instead we tried to kayak on the river, but the inflatable devices were unsuitable for my 6'3 fiancé and the couples kayak flooded once we got on the water, so we swiftly abandoned. We waited for bikes to become available from other guests using, but then found they were gearless and quite challenging on the gradient or unpaved trails to the rope bridges, recommended by the activities guide. So despite us being mountain bikers at home, this activity wasn't as fun as it could have been if there were more basic bikes available. We did enjoy the pool, massage and birding activities instead though.

    The room was much more spacious than photographed, nicely finished, and perfectly clean. Possibly the most comfortable bed of my life? Loved the Yoga mat provided in the room. The hammock on the patio was perfect for relaxing and listening to the bird song or watching the Koi pond. The fan above the hammock to keep the bugs away was an excellent idea! We also made use of the scope available to guests for birding in the garden. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a couples massage in our room. The dinner was exceptional - beetroot pate appie + lamb chops + pork chop mains were divine. The grounds are beautifully kept and you feel like you're in a riverside jungle oasis ❤️

    We are so glad we got to stay at & experience The Sleeping Giant Resort. Everything was amazing!

    As a couple we enjoyed everything. We would love to bring the family next time. They had more activities than we expected, -not sure if they had an area for ping pong/billiards/games/playground for evenings? Sadly, we were only there for 1 day.

    The location, facilities & the staff were terrific! Sleeping Giant Resort is located right off beautiful Humming Bird Hwy, not that far from Belmopan, close to Herman's Cave & The Blue Hole. I believe the whole resort & development covers 500 acres, so it feels like you are in your own world! We loved the bikes, hiking trails, bridges, lookout tower, animals (poultry, peacocks, sheep, horses, bunnies, turtles, birds), river/tubing, outdoor wood-fire pizza dining area, restaurants, pools, gardens, sitting areas, large rooms, everything was bonus! We felt like celebrities lol, all the staff was amazing, friendly, kind, so helpful! The higher price justified the inclusions & amenities. We came during low season & stayed in Riverview room #5, so it was a great value. We loved everything about this place & can't wait to return! Thank you <3

    I wish they had like a lunch taco stand sort of thing where you could get a quick bite (they do have pizza but it’s kind of expensive). The restaurant was good but a slow experience, which can be totally fine but when your kids just want to get to the pool it would be nice for faster options. We were traveling with kids and it was spring break, but I could imagine travelers without children might find the amount of children a bit much.

    In the river view suite 2, we had an infinity edge hot tub (really like a warm tub, so perfect for the kids) right on the balcony with amazing views. Parents were able to relax in the room while the kids played. Giant firefly’s, howler monkeys, birds, all the noises of the jungle. Gorgeous. Exceeded our expectations.

    We stayed at the Rainforest Lodge for three nights and it was incredible. There was so much to do and it was so relaxing at the same time. We used the bikes they had, kayaked in the river, enjoyed walking the grounds, climbed in the treehouse (the nest) and played in the pool. We travelled with two children and the place was magical for the kids and grownups alike.

    Loved almost everything. Beautiful grounds, good restaurant, friendly helpful staff. If I had to mention one weakness, it would be the house keeping service. Maybe I expect too much but a $300 US, the room should look brand new every time you return to it. Ours was never full restocked and/or bed not completely made up. Other than that we really loved this place.

    This is a beautiful resort, think White Lotus Season 3 Vibes. How they keep the grounds looking as fantastic as they do is a testament to the ground crew. The plunge pool was awesome.

    The food at Humo was ok. Descriptions could have been better. What was described, wasn’t always what was served and we had to ask for the missing ingredients. The fish was very dry. Coffee maker didn’t get inspected before us arriving and was dirty and broken. Coffee cups were the size of cappuccino cups when there was only a coffee maker. Didn’t have enough creamer. One of the sliders wouldn’t shut so the bugs were coming in. Had to get maintenance to fix. Only two sets of silverware for a two bedroom. There were three of us, so one person could only use a spoon to eat our dinner when we ordered in.

    Location was great. Staff was very nice. The cave tubing was fun, just a little overpriced. Staff was attentive as well. Beautiful grounds and accommodations. Interesting there was a kitchen, but not many places to shop for groceries. Beds were very comfortable.

    That I didn’t have more time to stay longer!

    Having access to both properties in the Belize Collection was amazing. You are able to enjoy the Humo restaurant and the pool at the banks which is a short bike ride away. The bikes are complimentary and the best way to get to all the amenities including the rope bridges and lookouts. Any staff member you run into is eager to help and always has a smile on their face. If you do come to this Lodge, I recommend taking a full day to Explore the entire property. That’s an adventure in itself. If you are more into modern stays, then the banks is perfect for you. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Free kayaks and bicycles and hiking trails to lookouts and hanging bridges.

    One of the best boutique hotel/resort stays we’ve ever had. Service was exceptional. Loved how they used WhatsApp for a direct line to a personal concierge. They helped us arrange room service, massages, excursions, a night hike, an extra bed for my six year old, and more. Jamie was amazing he should be promoted to run the customer experience soup to nuts. Their grounds are immaculate and a beautiful landscape architecture with flowing streams, paths, flowers, fauna, etc.
