I had the most magnificint time . I know I am going back again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those photos are absolutely beautiful. I wish I could make the trip down there.

What an amazing vacation! We all loved it! Sometimes it even seemed surreal. (My husband didn't work while on vacation for the first time in perhaps 20 years.) I am NOT adventurous. I love my safety and comfort, and I admit I was a little worried about this adventure that my son had arranged. Small planes? Jungles? Away from Civilization? I loved this! The BLE staff was so great I never worried about a thing. The accommodations were perfect - the comforts of home, the class of 5 star resorts, and a design and feel that melted into the surroundings. The trip was almost worth taking just to see the accommodations. Mayan ruins, swimming in the cave (one of my favorite things I've ever done), canoing into the jungle, enjoying our own private island, and snorkeling on one of the worlds great barrier reefs ? loved it all! Also loved just enjoying the beauty, peace, and people we were with. It's a remarkable conservation effort that I hope to revisit with my other children.

This was the second time that we have brought a small group of friends to BLE and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the chance to experience the three lodges, each presenting an entirely different aspect of Belize. This group included eleven people ranging from 12 to 81 and each person found a variety of attractions and activities that especially appealed to them. Belize Lodge and Excursions is truly unique in terms of its conservation ethic -- saving over 20 square miles of critical habitat in its private nature reserve -- and making it available to guests.

The trip was unforgettable! Each lodge and experience was unique, but all shared the warmth of wonderful staff members and knowledgeable guides. Especially loved floating down Golden Stream, the haunting ruins of Nim Li Punit, and the amazing underwater sights at the reef. How wonderful that these jewels of nature are now protected for the foreseeable future. We hope to be back to enjoy it all again.

After a truly amazing trip in January 2008, we have decided to return to BLE in January 2010 for another nine days at your spectacular lodges. Thank you to your entire staff for making our stay so fun, interesting, and relaxing. Your knowledgeable and professional local guides made this a one of a kind experience! So special, in fact, that even we late-sleeping non-birders were getting up before dawn to go out in guided canoes and learn about the birds of Belize. Many thanks, and we look forward to seeing you in 2010.

We are simply speechless! Thank you all for making our honeymoon the experience of a lifetime. We're still looking at each other wondering if our stay with Belize Lodge was all just a fabulous dream. Amazing locations, gorgeous accommodations, top notch service and five star dining! It was all breathtaking. We can't thank you enough and we'll be sure to return.

OH, MY GOSH, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The best travel experience I've ever had. First class all the way. Incredible staff and service. An experience I will never forget. Can't wait until next time. I miss all of you!

Our stay was absolutely AMAZING! We wanted something that was adventurous without sacrificing comfort and that is exactly what we got! The food was top notch, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the setting was spectacular! Thank you so much for giving us a vacation we will NEVER forget!

I am writing to thank you again for a great stay at the Belize Lodge. Our clients were very happy and of course amazed by all locations! We especially would like to thank the entire staff for great and very friendly service! They really made the stay enjoyable and unforgettable for everyone. Many of our clients are talking about going back and I hope that some of them will! We wish you all the best for all your projects! We hope to come back soon ourselves and bring more travelers your way! Good luck!

Thanks so much for a truly superb six days. I'm a sometime birder, and in the first three days and one morning, I saw 55 new species. That was an experience I never had before and never expect to have again. Much of that was due to the extraordinary skills of your guides. Moreover, each of the lodges, and especially Jungle Camp, was a gem. One of the best vacations ever.

This trip was just what we were looking for in ecological terms and it more than exceeded our expectations. The concept behind the conservation and protection of the area is a wonderful change in this world of 'vacation resorts'. The lodges are truly amazing, the food an unexpected surprise given the remote locations and the staff so friendly and professional. Belize Lodge is a gem in the middle of paradise and we will return again.

Wow, this is one amazing lodge! The location and set-up is absolutely gorgeous! The crew, well, can't say too much about them except that they were incredibly nice, patient and friendly! The one thing we would suggest is name tags! This was an amazing experience and our friends will hear nothing but good things!

The lodges are beautiful. The staff is very nice, they answered my questions gracefully. Some are clearly more confident in their jobs than others but they all did their jobs earnestly. We have really enjoyed our trip. The Indian Creek cabin was gorgeous. Our overall experience was fantasic, it really could not have been better. I was a little concerned when booking this trip since I could not find any reviews from actual people who had been there. So, in order to help out any other people looking to visit your lodge we'd be more than happy to serve as a reference for future guests.

I just wanted to let you know that we had a FANTASTIC trip through yourlodges, and are VERY happy with the entire experience. The string of lodges that you've put together provided just the right balance of variety, adventure and comfort that we were looking for on this trip. We were able to see a great cross section of Belize in a fairly short time. I have almost 500 photos to sort through, and the kids won't stop talking about everything that they were able to see and do. All of your BLE team was wonderful--the guides that worked with us--Nathaniel, Pablo, and Breeze were not only helpful and accommodating, but very knowledgeable and informative for me and the kids. They and the rest of your staff were excellent representatives of both BLE and the country of Belize. Thanks for a great experience that your team provided, and thanks for your efforts in protecting such a diverse and beautiful area of the world.

We just returned from our trip and we had a wonderful time! We were unsure about tipping our tour guides. We did not tip our wait staff except for Donicio. We tipped our guides $20.00 a trip. If that wasn't enough please give the appropriate tips, let me know the amounts, and charge to my cards. Your guides and staff were friendly, professional and worked exceptionally hard. I will forward some pictures. I hear we were the first group to go up on the platform. It was great! The trip went by so fast but we will have memories for a lifetime. I'd recommend this trip to anyone wanting adventure and elegance.

Thank you again for a wonderful vacation. I really can't say enough good things about it and am enjoying reliving it every time I tell someone new about our trip. We were constantly amazed while we were there. The concept is admirable, the Lodges are all unique and beautiful, the food was great, the entire staff was welcoming and gracious, our guides (Santiago, Nathaniel and Antonio) were friendly and knowledgeable (and made me feel completely safe), we had a lot of once in a lifetime experiences (although hopefully not!) and we got to know some really great people while we were there. It was sad to leave our little island!
