The whole place was amazing! The cabins were bare bones but clean and cute. We had a porch in the back right by the rainforest, but wished there had been comfy chairs to sit on instead of a small, hard bench. The bathrooms were clean with some interesting insect life to observe while sitting there. Showers were hot and good pressure. The Toucan Cafe up front was superb - we ate every meal there. There is comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Fridge and coffee maker are available for guests. There is also a biology-oriented library that also had some interesting travel guides for Belize, a gift shop, and a lab where the researchers work. The staff was super helpful with all the questions we had. The grounds are large, with orchards containing a variety of fruit trees, and there are some nice hiking trails. One goes to a "swimming hole" on a creek that is not deep enough to swim in but certainly wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. We used the cabin as a base and only had to drive 20 minutes to the Inland Blue Hole and river kayaking, and 15 minutes to Billy Barquedier National Park where there is a short hike to a waterfall. There are several restaurants nearby on the Hummingbird Hwy, as well as an ice cream shop.

This is an eco-lodging/ foundation. We elected to stay here because they run environmental programming in the local forest/ jungle. We had a 9 y.o. With us. However, we came during low season and staff was on vacation. So, no programs. The cabin was very nice but we were 5 so we, the couple, were planning to sleep in the back room. However, we brushed off critters and debris from the bed. It turned out the back room was not well sealed. In order to have a peaceful sleep, we ended up moving the mattress to the living room and slept there. The potential while staying here is good. Very lovely area. We just hit it wrong. Nice breakfast service at the restaurant.
