The room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were great for hanging out after a bird watching adventure. The food was simple, family style and delicious! Jeronie helped set us up with the greatest bird guide, Abi, and we had three great days of bird watching with him and a stop at Caracol Mayan Ruins. He was also able to tell us about the ruins and Mayan culture. Jeronie also made arrangements for us to go to Guatemala to visit Tikal and do some bird watching there. Everything went smoothly and all our drivers and guides were fabulous. He made our trip to Cayo very memorable.

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.

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 did not stay at the resort but we contacted them for the kayaking and canoeing guided tour. It was a last minute decision and they responded quickly. Our guide Everald was great! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and patient. Crystal Paradise seems to have great business ethics and they care about the well being of their customers. Would highly recommend!

We stayed at Crystal Paradise for five nights in May and couldn't have had a better experience. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable. The food was very tasty and the menus nicely varied. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the birds, as well as daily bird walks and excursions to Mayan ruins, local markets, a nearby butterfly farm and more. We can't wait to return.

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
