About the Hotel

Enchanting pristine rainforest envelops you, entering into the mythical grounds of an ancient Mayan site, brilliant sunny skies shining over northwestern Belize, and the Chan Chich Lodge welcomes you to tropical paradise. Situated in the deep center of the Mayan Rainforest, on the expansive private nature reserve of Gallon Jug Estate, the 12 cabanas and beautiful villa are a true escape from the modern world. Exotic hardwoods, tiled floors, and open, spacious rooms make up each cabana, complete with plush beds, luxury bathrooms, and walk-in closets. Wooden jalousies create two distinct settings, with a bright charm when opened and a cool, relaxing oasis when closed. Wraparound verandas seamlessly blend your own space with the natural beauty of the forest, with hammocks that provide the perfect place to relax on a warm afternoon. Experience the beauty of Belize and the untouched wonder of the rainforest with your stay at Chan Chich Lodge.

Reviews for Chan Chich Lodge

A Natural Paradise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Arriving at Chan Chich was like arriving at a jungle paradise. We were welcomed by accommodating, flexible and friendly staff. People like Shawn, Ruben, Alias and all the others were outstanding and made us feel at home. The only way to feel closer to nature would be camping in a tent. However, the accommodations were so comfortable. The outstanding fresh farm to table meals were incredibly delicious, including the fresh coffee. Supporting the conservation efforts of Chan Chich and Gallon Jug Farm left us with a meaningful experience. We enjoyed many on site tours and one off site tour to the ATM cave. All were memorable experiences during which we saw many species of birds and other animals, geological wonders in the cave and Mayan Archaeological sites. We learned a great deal about the Mayan people and about Belize. I would give my highest recommendations to anyone interested in experiencing the jungle in a peaceful laid back manner that melts any stress away.

Magical jungle paradise!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Chan Chich Lodge was absolutely magical! It was the standout experience from our Belize trip. We had great tours with Luis and Ruben! Highly recommend the farm tour and the night animal tour. We saw puma, tapir, crocodile, foxes.. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, which we absolutely did! Also loved meeting so many different people from all over. We will definitely be back!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Chan Chich provided a special home away from home for our 30th anniversary. The accommodation was just what we wanted, the food was EXCEPTIONAL, the talk on local wildlife an game cameras was amazing, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. We cannot say enough good things about this special place, the management or the staff. Truly exceptional in all ways. I feel refreshed that such wild places remain and are cared for. We will be back soon.

The three hour drive was very pleasant great scenery along the way farms forest valleys villages. Roads were great until last couple miles lil bumpy. The Grounds of the Lodge has beautiful tall trees lots of birds and some wildlife. The pool has the freshest rain water. Dinners were excellent. Unique setting in unexcavated Maya Ruins. Hiking footwear is a must as is a binoculars. Very comfortable beds with mosquito net. Cabins are very spacious.

Perfect place for a family trip!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

The family and I spent a long and lovely weekend at Chan Chich, and we absolutely loved it! There was something for everyone! My brothers signed up for the night drive and horseback riding, the coffee lovers booked the Farm Tour (which includes a tour of the coffee plantation and roasting process,) those who wanted something relaxed got to lounge at the pool or do a self-guided walk around the lodge. We got to see endless deer, birds, foxes, and many other critters. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. Shout-out to Mr Luis, who was our guide for most of the tours! We will return :)

We stayed at Chan Chich Lodge and had a fantastic experience! We could be as "busy" or laid back as we wished. We hiked every day, partly with a guide, and partly on our own. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. We rode bikes, horses, and walked miles through the jungle. Each late afternoon, we spent an hour or two in the beautiful screened-in pool to cool off as we waited for the monkeys to start swinging overhead, and the parrots and other birds to start their evening serenade. Both the food and service were exceptional for all meals. Since there were never more than 2-3 other couples at the time we were there, it felt like we had the resort to ourselves. This is probably one of the best travel deals you will ever find!!!
