About the Hotel

Backpackers trekking through the jungle highlands of Belize a few years ago occasionally stumbled onto a rustic place called Blancaneaux Lodge - then a row of thatched huts above an idyllic valley, where waterfalls drop into granite pools lined with tiger ferns while parrots roost in the palmettos. Francis Ford Coppola himself stumbled upon this same enchanted retreat in the Mountain Pine Ridge reserve in 1981. "I'd been looking for some kind of tropical utopia," Coppola says. "This was the paradise hideaway I was looking for." The rest is history... Welcome to Blancaneaux Lodge.

Perfection

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Our stay at Blancaneaux was absolute perfection. As soon as we got picked up from the airport, every detail was taken care of. We stayed in the enchanted cottage, and Osmani provided us with the best service and experience we have ever had anywhere, ever: making dinner reservations, booking excursions, being incredibly mindful of food allergies, and just generally being a great dude. The food at all the restaurants was amazing, the drinks were great, and the setting and ambiance were perfect. The drivers for the excursions were knowledgeable, friendly, and hilarious. Everyone went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect, and we cannot wait to come back! Thank you Osmani!!!!!!!!

This hotel is amazing. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and will be calling you by name. The grounds are gorgeous, lots of birds, and lizards to see as well. The river or pool is a great way to cool off. No matter what place you choose to eat at you won’t be disappointed. I definitely would recommend staying here.

Perfection in the Mountains

We just returned from a 4 night stay at Blancaneaux and it was perfection! We loved our family cabana, which was the perfect size for my family of 4 (ages 12 and 10). The property is gorgeous and the staff are so exceptionally friendly. The food was amazing and the lemongrass mojito was delightful. We were there over Easter and I cannot express how happy the manager made my kids. They loved the Easter Egg Baskets, the Easter Egg Hunt and the Easter Dinner Celebration. She really made the trip extra special. The attention to detail was above and beyond. We absolutely loved our stay at Blancaneaux and hope to return some day!

We stayed 3 nights at Blancaneaux Lodge and it was excellent. The property is amazing and the bungalows are very nice. The food is good and the service is generally excellent (except in the bar where we experienced a rude barman). On the negative side they charge for everything and you cannot even get a decent coffee or soft egg at breakfast without paying extra.

Bernie Matute and his team at Blancaneaux are absolutely fabulous! Their hospitality and attention to detail impressed us from the moment we arrived. This is the kind of lodge we love: cozy, personal and exquisite. The focus is on a personal experience where you are guest, not just a number as in many larger hotels and lodges. Take the time to hike down to Big Rock falls and visit the many Maya ruins in the area. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the Turtle Inn and Blancaneaux Lodge for a week in October, and it was the best vacation we have ever taken. The cabanas and cottages were lovely, the staff was incredible, and the food was outstanding. It's rare that you come home from vacation without a single negative thing to say - our only criticism is that we couldn't stay longer! It was truly an amazing experience.
