Our family of four had the most wonderful five-night stay at Blancaneaux. The property is peaceful, the villas gorgeously decorated with Guatemalan carvings and textiles, and the food delicious. The best part, though, was the staff, who were incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend scheduling a tour of one of the nearby Mayan ruins. Our guide, Geronimo, made it a highlight of our trip. We hope to be back in the not-too-distant future!

I don’t know how I got so lucky to visit this beautiful place, but I’m so grateful. From the moment we arrived the service was spectacular. Porters took our luggage to the room, and manager Diego gave us a comprehensive overview of the property, amenities, and activities. The room was so gorgeous and comfortable - I want to find their pillows for my home. Anything we needed we just had to ask and the staff always accommodated our needs (of which there were many, as I was with my 4 year old!). Accident in the bed? Immediately cleaned (in addition to morning cleaning and turn-down service at night). She’s not eating all of her meal? We’ll refrigerate it for you and reheat it for her next meal. Can’t make your dinner reservation because you’re tired after a long day? No worries. Want to go to kid camp and play with chickens, ride ponies, and paint? We’ll make it happen and work with your schedule. Want to take your bug-obsessed kid on a bug walk? Let’s do it! Everything was relaxing and supportive. And of course every view was beautiful and the pools were fantastic and the food was insanely good. We went to the Guatemalan restaurant one night and were blown away. Ernesto made fabulous cocktails (mojito with lemongrass really stood out). We visited Caracol one day and learned so much about Maya history and culture. Blancaneaux packed us a massive delicious picnic so we had plenty to eat and lots of energy during the day. I can’t recommend Blancaneaux enough. I hope to be back one day soon ☺️.

I could honestly write a short story about all the things that make Blancaneaux such an amazing and unique place, but I'll spare you the 30,000 words and just say that if you're reading this review because you're going to be in Belize and are considering staying at the Blancaneaux you should just stop here, book it now, and enjoy the fruits of your wise decision. This is a one-of-a-kind experience that would almost be a crime for someone to skip over, and this is coming from a couple that is relatively well-traveled with some pretty awesome experiences under our collective belt. This one at the Blancaneaux was special, however. The blend of secluded tropical rainforest with immaculately-clean resort space is difficult to describe and really something that has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Kinda mind-blowing how they've managed to combine the two so perfectly, like it didn't feel weird or unnatural or "why is there a luxury resort in the middle of the jungle" kinda thing. It's like the lodge was just always there, in the jungle, at one with the wild nature it's enveloped in. Rugged and adventurous, yet somehow clean and luxurious at the same time. There were no individual highlights of our stay here..because literally everything was a highlight. All of it, from start to finish. Our riverfront cabana, every meal we had, every interaction with every single staff member, every guided tour or activity, even the driver who shuttled us back to the airport - all exceptional, polished, and unique. Blancaneaux has clearly spent a wild (pun intended) amount of time refining every aspect of this unique experience, and we are so, so grateful we had the opportunity to enjoy it. Pro tip: while we did see one or two small families here this place really shines as a couples experience, the naturally-romantic vibes here are undeniable.

Stayed here with my family, to include children ages 13, 10, 7. What a fun and unique lodging experience. Book all of your tours and transfers with them so that things are seamless, and by all means take the cooking class in the garden. It's charming!

Amazing place. The staff, location, food rooms and facilities were 10/10. We even booked another night as we didn’t want to leave. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will definitely be coming back in the near future. Thank you to all the staff for making it such our stay such an enjoyable time.

Blancaneaux Lodge was truly incredible. Attentive and friendly staff, wonderful food, lots to do, gorgeous surroundings. Trails on premises to a lovely waterfall. One of the best bars I've seen at a hotel in decor. Would go back in a heartbeat.

This was the second trip for 4 of us in our group of 6. It didn’t disappoint in 2021 and was even better in 2025 as it wasn’t the rainy season as before. The service here is what you wish for in every place you visit. They put us in 3 huts that were close to each other which was nice. Most of us had the included continental breakfast delivered every morning to our beautiful balconies overlooking the river and waterfall. It was plenty, egg, fruit, yogurt, granola, bread or muffins with butter and jam and a pot of coffee. We did birdwatching, tubing, canoeing thru a cave, toured a Mayan village, hung out at the beautiful pool, swam in the giant hot tub, had massages, hiked to Big Falls. We did drinks in the garden, just be ready to drink! We took a tour of their beautiful garden that most of the food comes from before having a yummy dinner at the garden restaurant. We also ate at their Guatemalan and Italian restaurants onsite. There is so much to do onsite that you truly don’t have to leave! Hope I’ve said enough to make you want to go as you won’t be disappointed.
