Blancaneaux Lodge

One of the best vacation experiences we have ever had in an incredible setting. The food was tremendous and the service was top notch. Osmani was our villa butler; the wine and cocktail tastings he provided were memorable. We especially enjoyed our outings to ATM Cave and Coracol. We can't wait to go back!

It was such a treat to go to Blancaneaux. Great atmosphere, great food and service beyond compare. The staff is very friendly and will go above and beyond to give you a stellar experience. The guides are very knowledgable and will take the time to explain everything. Even things that are not part of thier tour. I give a special recommendation to Gilberto. On our trip to Caracol he gave great insights to the culture and several times went out of his way to identify several plants with the traditional uses. I would highly recommend a trip to Blancaneaux. It is the experience of a lifetime. P.S. bring a jacket. It get chilly at night.

Another fabulous stay at Blancaneaux! We love the combination of nature and luxury. There is delicious food and wine, amazing massages (try the Thai Massage), the nicest people, and it's all in a beautiful natural setting. The cabanas are screened, the main lodge is a combination of screened and open air, the spa is open air. When we stay, we love it that we're not truly "inside" (except inside a car) at all during the trip. But don't get me wrong, those cabanas are luxurious - comfortable beds, lovely antique-style decor, gorgeous decks and special grass roof. No tvs, no AC, no tacky plastic souvenirs or electric blue blender drinks - in other words, heaven.

Outstanding experience. Lovely, well cared for property. Staff are kind, friendly and super-knowledgeable. Felt like we were being cared for by a big family. There is a lot to do on property and the team will readily arrange a wide-variety of activies. Rooms were clean and comfortable with great views. We have villas on either side of us but didn't see or hear them. We can't wait to go back!

Needed a break after a busy year and before the holidays took over. Booked Blancaneaux to see the Belizean jungle, warm up a bit, and be quiet. It hit the mark. Coppola wrote that Blancaneaux is "Simplicity and a barefoot elegance with a luxurious wink." It's a perfect description. My wife and I kept a relaxed and slow pace, were never rushed, and were treated wonderfully by the staff. The grounds were beautiful. Our room was peaceful and quiet and spacious and comfortable. The food was very good. We loved that the staff would bring us coffee each morning as a part of the room rate and we sat and drank the whole carafe before heading to the restaurant for fruit and some eggs. We loved it.
