The entire property is incredible. From our visit to the farm, hikes through the rainforest, tubing and dining we had an incredible experience that we will never forget.

It’s a beautiful property and the staff made every effort to make our stay super comfortable, warm, and relaxing. Our villa was so cozy and we had the most fun time on the deck.The river flowing right next to us was just a treat and the hot pool was our favorite ! I highly recommend a getaway at Blancaneaux

This is the most amazing place I've stayed at. The ENTIRE staff was terrific from begging to end. My wife had the best massage she's ever had. The food was great and the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. If I could give more stars I would. Be ready to unplug from the world and enjoy your surroundings. So much to do and see. I will be recommending this property to everyone one I know. My wife and I were making plans to come back before we even left.

All of the staff, be they front desk receptionist, servers, hired guides, grounds keepers, stable hands or gardeners could not be more accommodating, welcoming, friendly, proactive, or efficient. The accommodations were as beautiful as they were comfortable, and they fit perfectly into the natural surroundings.

We just returned from Blancaneaux, and we’re still thinking about the food, service, ambiance, and overall experience. It was absolutely outstanding, and I highly recommend staying here. A few things I especially loved: Everything was incredibly clean, with this beautiful indoor/outdoor feel. You are truly in the middle of the jungle, and it feels like it. They have an organic garden on site. Fresh, high-quality food is really important to me, and this was a standout. You can have complimentary coffee brought to your room in the morning. It sounds like a small detail, but it makes such a difference. If you are a runner, you can run at the nearby airstrip, which is a huge bonus. A couple of tips: If you hike to Big Rock Falls, be prepared. It is a rigorous hike and can get very slippery, especially if it has rained. Bring plenty of water. If you swim in the river or around the falls, the rocks can be extremely slippery. We found it was much better not to try to stand up on them. Overall, Blancaneaux was one of those places that really lived up to the experience we were hoping for. Beautiful setting, wonderful people, and some of the freshest food we’ve ever had.

Our stay at Blancaneux was wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were met with incredible hospitality. We went with our two adult children in their twenties. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Food was amazing. Best continental breakfast we have ever had. Farm to table dining experience was top notch. Fantastic diversity of dining experiences and great activities without leaving the resort. Bird watching, river tubing, horseback riding, hiking to a waterfall with a gorgeous huge swimming hole, all from our villa! Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for high end eco lodging in Belize.

I don't typically write reviews but I have to hand it to the staff at the Blancaneaux Lodge. Flawless service, kind, friendly and helpful at all times, in every area of the resort. The place is truly magical, and their incredible staff are the secret sauce. The property is top notch, but warm and authentic, not ostentatious or showy. My family felt immediately at home. THANK YOU!

This place is amazing. We stayed for three nights before transferring to San Pedro, and I miss Blancaneaux! We transported by heli and when we were greeted by loving staff with horses and buggy, we were ecstatic! All three restaurants are delicious and fun, and the bar staff is fantastic! The property is insanely beautiful and I need to go back just to explore more. We did a couple activities/tours (and the front desk staff is so kind and helpful in arranging that and also so gracious when you mess it up haha), so we were off site half a day at a time, and there is so much more I want to see and do at Blancaneaux We met a lot of cool people and made a lot of memories. This is one of the best overall experiences I’ve had while traveling. Thank you, new friends in BZ!

Awesome area resort is stunning and enjoyed all amenities. The road I am out is dirt and stone rutted for 15 miles and takes one hour. You can fly in and out kid there if you have the $$.

Food was mediocre to terrible They couldn’t even make a decent pot of coffee in the morning. The lamb at dinner was like shoe soles and had to be returned. Considering that we were captive audience in this beautiful place, the food really ruined the experience.

Amazing Lodge in the Jungle

This is a beautiful place to stay in the jungle near Belmopan. Service is fantastic - 5 types of mojitos and great food. Little secluded rooms that are very romantic. But beware of the road to get there - when we were there in June 2021 they were doing major works and it took much much longer than expected.

Perfect getaway

Simply one of the best hotel I’ve ever been to. Staff, service, food, the area, the views. Everything just perfect. The garden is so special, best dinner and best place. We simply loved it.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Property and food is excellent. They need to re-do all the stairs. They don't work and flow well. It is an easy correction but it is all wrong. Amazes me that Mr. Coppola being Italian failed on this when the Romans were the champions of roads and accesses. They set the standards for the next milleniums.

We stayed as a family in a 2 bedroom villa overlooking the creek--the villas are massive and extremely comfortable and quaint. The location is unbelievable--by staying next to the creek/river, you wake up to the sound of the water--extremely soothing. The best part besides location is definitely the STAFF--the most amazing people we have ever met! Although some people complain about bugs, we did not really experience any--all of the rooms have nets and the bathrooms have insect repellants--I think in the 5 days/4 nights we got maybe 2 mosquito bites between the 3 of us. We did wear a lot of bug spray (which is actually provided for free by the pool if you forget). The pool is great by the way and a relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
