Crystal Paradise Resort was a lovely place to stay and I highly recommend! The family who owns and runs the resort provide excellent services attending to every need including setting up transportation and COVID testing. The accommodations are clean, safe, and comfortable. The grounds are gorgeous and the only place in the country I saw both a parrot and a Toucan. The homemade meals were wonderful. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and I would absolutely return!

We LOVED our stay here. The family who runs this place are very attentive and kind. We are not birders but became fascinated with the variety of birds who visit the resort: toucans, lesser motmots, chestnut woodpeckers, and American red starts were just a few we had never seen before. Our group of ten stayed four nights. One day they arranged a tour to Tikal with Mariella, a guide they use often and is *amazing*. The process of getting across the border is long but their guides made the process easy on both sides. One day we did a cave tubing tour which everyone enjoyed, especially the kids. One day we ventured on our own to Xunantunich which we enjoyed as much as Tikal. We took breakfast and lunch at the resort and all our meals were delicious. Our kids especially loved the fry jacks for breakfast: pillows of fried dough that they could put syrup on, yum. One member of our group is gluten free and they were able to accommodate her. My mother had a birthday on the trip and they were able to make a delicious chocolate cake with candles to help us celebrate. In the evenings we relaxed in the meal area and were able to self-serve beer or other drinks from the bar. They keep a jug of purified water which is very convenient and appreciated. Every member of our group loved where we stayed, the thatch roofs are charming and the location is beautiful and has lots of space for relaxation. Lovely! I hope we get to come back.

Amazing resort in the Belizian jungle – – family owned and run. Wonderful birding opportunities, watching the toucans eating papaya for breakfast on the deck. Dinners every night on the patio. Monkeys in the distance – fireflies out at night. Fun canoeing down the Macau river right in front of the property. Most friendly and helpful staff!!

Staff was very helpful in planning our tours. Since it rained nearly the whole week we were there, plans had to be adjusted daily and the staff was very helpful in giving us updated weather/road condition reports and suggesting other activities. Food was simple, but tasty. No fancy restaurant food, but more similar to a home cooked meal. Grounds were beautiful, and we're sorry that we did not get to explore it more. The rooms were simple, but spacious and clean. Not much privacy though. You can easily hear conversations taking place in the adjacent room, as well as the next bungalow over. to Since the walls of the room do not go all the way up to the roof, and are covered with mosquito netting, if someone is smoking outside of your room, it is the same as having them right in the room with you.

Everything at this lodge was so enjoyable I’d definately go again for longer next time. Birds and animals abound. We had the home cooked meals at the lodge and every night they were different and tasty. We were able to book Eric to take us on a tour of Caracol which I’d highly recommend. We also went to Tikal. All this headed by the calm and smiling manager Carolita.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The family who runs/owns the resort was great, helpful, and accommodating to any and all of our needs. We loved the serenity and peacefulness of the place. It was absolutely beautiful. A couple of things to keep in mind, they are little cabanas with no A/C, but we went during the hottest month for them and were comfortable in the evenings, super hot during the day, and they are located in a little village just outside of San Ignacio located off a mostly unpaved road. The drive was about 15 or so mins to town and very bumpy. We did tours every day so it wasn't much of an inconvenience for us. I believe if you are doing booked tours everyday or have rented your own vehicle, it shouldn't make much of a difference, but if you plan on taking a taxi plan on spending roughly $15 US each way. The only true con we had about the place was the cost of food such as breakfast lunch and dinner. The prices were more comparable to American prices. Breakfast and lunch were $10/pp and Dinner was $19/pp. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Long-way to Cristo Rey with wildlife of splendour
Location is about 20 min taxi/bus from San Ignacio. Taxi approx $20 BZ (£8 ish), bus $1.50 BZ - cheap bus, BUT hourly transit, last bus from SI is 6.20pm (Dec-16). Wildlife galore - many birds visit at breakfast time for the fruit feast. Tarantula and scorpion plus a fist-sized moth, all in our cabaña, which was great! I love wildlife, so happily rehomed outdoors. Bats around too at night, plus other cool mammals, such as agouti paca (royal rat!). The breakfast was good value, additional US$10 pp. BUT no choice, I did request fried jacks, the Belizean delicacy (yum!). Dinner was minimal, again no choice, which isn't really what we wanted especially paying US$15!!! 3-course consisted of nachos & veg for starters, fried chicken and mashed pots with retried beans for main, and sweet-pot pie for desert. Not my choice! Cheaper in town and more choice! I do believe that the accommodation should include options of B&B or possibly HB, but offer a choice of food. It's definitely the first place I've ever visited (including Guatemala & Honduras) where there is no choice in food options, it's bizarre!!! This was the same for Christmas dinner, but was generally better food. The trips that they encourage you to signup on prior to arrival would be with a birding expert, apparently. We found that in town we saved over US$200 pp for tours. This deal included pickup & drop offs, so we often requested to be dropped back in town. Check out prices before you book!
Large moths - some make a clicking sound to avoid the bats!
Scorpion on cabaña floor - only diddy tho!
Tarantula fell down next to our bed, unfortunately thought he'd eaten the ants that were poisoned, otherwise probably wouldn't have fallen down!

Stayed here for two nights in December. Very nice place with beautiful garden. Staffs are friendly and helpful. A little far from the town.

Hideaway, that remains centrally located.
From the time I booked our stay, the staff here was nothing short of spectacular. They offered tons of helpful information and were extremely helpful in planning offsite excursions in the area. The onsite restaurant offers very reasonably priced Belizean meals that are simple but delicious. The staff and management here pays an extreme level of attention to detail and a maximum effort to ensure that not only fulfilled, but anticipated our every need. I was completely blown away on one occasion, when an offsite tour that my wife and I were on ran late. Although most guests eat on site, we had not made specific arrangements with the hotel to have dinner. We arrived back to the hotel a full two hours after dinner time at 8:30 PM, and not only was the kitchen willing to make us dinner, they were actually waiting for us ..... AND IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE! If you are looking to stay at an authentic locally owned hotel that genuinely not only wants you to enjoy your stay, but actively helps to ensure it, end your search, this is the place. Two final suggestions, Crystal Paradise has there own in house tour operators that did an outstanding job, use them. They are also able to transport you pretty much anywhere on the mainland, another service that we found very convenient.

Really liked this place.
We stayed three days. Our room was absolutely spotless. Showers had plenty of hot water. There's no air conditioning, but the construction of the cabins and the ceiling fans meant that we had no trouble whatsoever sleeping. The staff was extremely helpful, and helped set up a tour over to Tikal in Guatemala. There's a bar and a deck from which you can watch birds and agoutis. The restaurant served only one dish per meal; it was Belizean cuisine, which is to say fairly simple dishes with lots of stewed chicken and beef, and other food much like authentic Mexican. You'll probably want to eat breakfast and dinner at the restaurant, simply because there aren't many other places to eat nearby. They also fixed us a pretty nice box lunch a couple of days to take with us as we explored the area.

Nice family-run place, apparently one of the only Belizian-owned resorts still around. Staff is really friendly. It may be important to some to know that there is no A/C anywhere on the property, and the ceiling fans are noisy enough that we kept them off while sleeping. There are big screens on all windows and underneath the roofing, but this area has plenty of tiny insects that can still get through those holes. Some of those insects and other little animals make noises in the night too, for you light sleepers.

The hotel is owned by a Belizean family. Three generations are present. It is a "eco" lodge. Numerous tours are available. A cousin owns the tour company.

This is the perfect resort if you are looking for a remote jungle vacation. It is family run by local Belizeans who are incredibly nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and well kept. The location is perfect for several must do excursions including ATM cave, Caracol Mayan ruins, and cave tubing and zip lining at Jaguar park. I would highly recommend Crystal Paradise Resort and would stay there again.
