Lodge at Chaa Creek

We went here with our son and daughter in law and granddaughters. We had taken our kids here when they were little 30 years ago and fondly remember our adventures there. It is waaaay more modernized than it was then but still fantastic. Extremely well run- every staff member- reception, servers, guides, gardeners - were very friendly and helpful. Tours/ excursions were great for the girls (5 and 7) and for us as well. Don’t miss the canoe trip into the cave The food was also very good. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Great week!

This was our first “eco-tourism” resort stay and we were not disappointed. Accommodations were very good. We stayed in a spacious, well appointed cottage near to the pool, bar and restaurant. Everything was comfortable including bed, linens, large double shower and an outdoor shower. The restaurant was vey good with a large menu that did not bore us on our four day visit. The Valentines Day, 6 course menu was the least inspiring. The bar staff prepare beverages that include their own infusions. The “by the glass” wines could have been better as their house wines are from a Chilean Vineyard that was not wonderful. Staff are friendly and attentive, though several did not understand the limitations of my wife’s gluten free diet. Excursion staff were excellent including David on the canoe trek and Walter for the sunset RTV tour. We also did a horseback tour on property and trekked to the Tikal Mayan ruins with Yumi…. All memorable. The grounds, pool and facilities are beautiful and well maintained. Would definitely return.

We just came back from a wonderful 3 day stay at Chaa Creek. We very much enjoyed our time at the resort, waking up each morning with singing birds, spotting howler monkey families on our morning walk, visiting the butterfly farm and the nature center, exploring various trails on the property and tasting some fresh and delicious food at the resort's resturant. All staff are super friendly and helpful. Our side trip to visit the Maya ruin "Xunantunich" with Kevlin, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide provided by the resort was memorable and fun.

Amazing Staff Made Trip of Lifetime - We were part of an adult family of 6, with Ryan as our butler. He made sure that everything went to plan and organized the most spectacular dinners for us. We went to Tikal with Yumi who is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had - so knowledgeable and the best attitude! ATM with Emil who fearlessly led us through the caves and the decapitation chamber (a real highlight). Walter for his tour of the butterfly garden and museum! Romeo and Lion Heart during the horseback riding made the ride so memorable. Ryan, again, for being so amazing!! We also asked the bar on our last night to create a flight of all the house made alcohol - a real highlight and should be added to the bar menu!!

We stayed at the Chel Villa, incredible experience for our family. We saw so much wildlife, howler monkeys, iguanas, toucans from our patio with private pool. Large spaces, stunning views. Our personal butler Nelson made the stay one we will remember for our life. This experience is Four Seasons level luxury in the middle of the jungle. We did activities through the resort and those were amazing as well. Mayan pyramid, open hearth cooking, butterfly farm. An amazing place for family or for a relaxing getaway. The food was incredible including a private meal under the stars. Best luxury experience we have stayed at in the world.
