What a lovely unique hotel. We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The only negative was it is far away from everything so your only dining choices are their 2 restaurants. The prices were very high for dining. The main restaurant I ordered shrimp and received 3 tiny shrimp for $44 usd. The pizza place had excellent wood fired pizza! But each pizza was the size of a medium and was $34 usd each. There were 2 of us and we needed 2 pizzas as they are thin crust. So $68 usd for 2 medium pizzas. Yikes! Other than that the staff was beyond helpful and informative. Our room was huge with a very comfortable bed.

Staff were all amazing, so friendly and helpful. Our creekside cottage was perfect, the bed was comfy, loved the outdoor tub, and even had our own nespresso machine!! Tours were a little pricey so in all honesty, some we booked ourself. Loved our mayan cooking class and excursions through Upsidedown Tours, which the lodge introduced us to, hats off to them especially kevin and orlin!! A beautiful stay. You won't be disappointed. They seem to have booking sales too, so check and see.

This place is absolutely amazing and even better than I expected! After one day at Sleeping Giant I was already planning a return trip. The rooms are beautiful and have AC strong enough to counteract the hot and humid jungle climate. Arguably even better than the rooms were the amazing grounds which had tons of activities - including kayaking, swimming in the river or at the gorgeous pool, hiking on trails through the jungle, walking across hanging bridges, horse back riding, climbing a giant tree house, and more. We were never bored and honestly struggled between whether to go on the excursions or to spend more time enjoying the property at the resort. With respect to dining, the food at both of the restaurants was fabulous every single meal. Everything we had was amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegan and vegetarians options offered. Everyone at the resort was so incredibly friendly. There are so many people to thank for our excellent stay but we especially enjoyed talking to Eileen at the Grove and Dorris, who facilitated all of our excursions. In sum, I can't imagine a better place to stay!

What a beautiful spot! We loved all the hiking paths, biking and kayaking spots. The staff were great and helpful. The rooms were gorgeous and it was amazing being right in the rainforest. Pictures don’t do it justice !
