Alba was an amazing host with our last minute accommodations. The entire staff that provided delicious family style meals were amazing. They have many of varieties of birds like hummingbirds and Tucans just to name a couple. The family bungalow was the perfect fit for my family at a very reasonable price

We had a blast staying here! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the service is top notch, and the food is amazing. The family who runs it are so kind and generous, and we had the best experience. We will definitely be back and plan more time to stay here next time. Thank you!!

Miss Carolita and her whole family and team at Crystal Paradise made me feel like family. I stayed for five nights and it was a pleasure. They all went out of their way to make sure I had everything I need, Carolita even went above and beyond when I ran out of some personal toiletries. The transfer to and from Belize City was very affordable compared to other services, and they are happy to make any stops you need, including waiting for you to visit the zoo. The optional breakfast (US$12) and dinner (US$21) was very tasty, served family style, with generous portions. They are more than happy to cater to any dietary restrictions. The local bus stops right outside the gates and gets you into or out of San Ignacio in about 15 minutes, for BZ$2.50. Bird watching is phenomenal, several serious birders staying there were gushing about the rare birds spotted there. I saw keel billed motmots and toucanettes at their feeders on multiple occasions. The river can be accessed from the property by a short walk, but it is all uphill on the way back.

We loved our stay at the Crystal Paradise! Carolita and her family truly make you feel like you've been adopted into the clan! She and her brother Jeronie and their other siblings went out of their way to ensure we had a nice stay! We booked all our excursions through them and I would highly recommend you do this! Our ATM cave tour was cancelled last minute due to rain and they were able to make a few calls and switch our Tikal trip to that day instead, which we never could have done on our own. The cave reopened the next day and we were able to go then. It was such a blessing! The breakfasts and dinners we ate there were simple Belizian food, but so convenient. The dining area has a beautiful balcony where they set out various fruits to feed the birds, so you just sit and watch a beautiful nature show as you eat. The variety of birds is incredible! We used their canoes and canoed down the river one day. The village of San Ignacio is just a short drive or bus ride away if you want a little more action. The accommodations are simple and a bit rustic, but very, very clean and every need we had was happily met! Thank you Tut family for a wonderful trip!

Our family of four (kids 8 and 11) stayed with the Tut family at Crystal Paradise for 4 nights, March 23- 27, 2025 . Eric picked us up from the airport and led us on 3 day trips throughout our time at Crystal Paradise. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. We always felt safe under his guidance. Carolita and the kitchen staff took amazing care of our picky eaters and made sure we ate delicious meals that were wholesome and nutritious for all of our day excursions. Alba is an amazing office manager, who was very responsive to all of my questions. As this was the first time our family traveled out of the country, we were nervous but excited. Eric, Alba, Carolita and the Tut family welcomed us with open arms and took amazing care of our family. We were so lucky to have found Crystal Paradise and so grateful that they took such thoughtful care of us on our first trip to Belize.

We didn’t know that the kitchen was open only for breakfast. Also our bedroom was not made as it appeared on the website.
Breakfast was great and the service very nice as well.

Highly recommend Crystal Paradise. It's a family-run hotel. It's definitely a jungle lodge, and not a luxury hotel, but that's what I was looking for. Rooms are clean, the food is really good (do the breakfast/dinner that they offer) and there are plenty of great things to do nearby. Mayan ruins, birding, swimming in the Macal river. The staff are helpful and friendly. Great hotel
