Great tours and guides, great jungle location. All else good, however the dinner meals are often, I would say "uninspired". This needs some improvement.

Chan Chich Lodge is an unique and fantastic destination. The staff is attentive and prepared to be helpful without being intrusive. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise. The individual cabins are clean and comfortable. The food is farm-to-table with diverse options and always fresh. It is a remote location, but we always felt safe and well-informed about our surroundings. At Chan Chich, you can be as chill or as intense as you want. There's a beautiful pool to sit by, miles of trails to hike, horses to ride, and day-long excursions. We feel lucky to have found this special place.

Chan Chich is an exquisite adventure melding together experiencing Mayan Ruins, jungle experience with a conservation twist. We loved our daily interactions with staff to include Cali who is an expert mixologist, Emil who made everything look easy, Sean who always had a smile, and the wonderful cook Ian. Every meal was absolutely amazing! Maria and Abdiel took care of all our needs at reception including booking excursions and chartering flights. And of course our expert guides Ruben and Louise who knew every bird and the Gallon Jug Flora and Fauna like professors. They are able to share their knowledge about archaeology, medicinal plants, and wild edibles. They know every animal and animal trail and to be on a tour with them in action is truly an experience of a lifetime! I would tell all my friends about this location and go back again! Thank you Chan Chich & Ruben/Louise!

Magnificent Mayan Treasure

Chan Chich presents a unique experience to the adventurous traveler. We stayed 3 nights at this hidden gem and loved every minute. The lodge is simply gorgeous, our two bedroom cabin was perfect, the food is wonderful, wildlife, mayan history and birding tours are exceptional and the service was impeccable.

This is one of the best vacations I have ever had. The transport was easy to arrange through the lodge and the value by far favors the traveler. The driver was kind enough to point out several interesting finds on the drive to the lodge, including multiple toucan birds (we saw two different species) and countless other animals. The lodge itself is gorgeous! The grounds are immaculate and contain countless bird species. I don't typically take guided tours on vacations but I decided to try a couple on the advice of a friend - it was the right decision. The tour guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and can spot the most amazing animals. I was incredibly fortunate to see a puma, ornate hawk-eagle pair and later their nest with a young eagle, and more birds than I could photograph in my short 3-4 days. The food at the lodge was great, as were the drinks which include many unique creations by their bartender Emil. Overall my only regret is only having 3-4 days to spend there. I cannot recommend Chan Chich highly enough (as my friends at home can now attest).

Spectacular Venue, Very Nice Lodge, Good Service

Located in one of the most amazing spots in Belize the surroundings are spectacular. The lodge is very nice; the service is good; the venue spectacular. The staff is very accommodating and very helpful. They went of their way to make sure arrival wasn't a problem by assuring access through private land. The food was good but definitely room for improvement. Restaurant staff service could use some work; very nice, and very helpful, just need more training for the simple things; no greeting upon seating, no drink menu, didn't ask for wine, but very friendly and responsive. The accommodations are nice and setting is gorgeous. However, again attention to detail was lacking; cobwebs on fans is always a bummer. They are just a few small steps from being the 5-star lodge they should be. All-in-all I would say it's worth the trip. A bit pricey but the location is spectacular.

Exquisite Wilderness Retreat

Ignore the weather warnings! Our stay at Chan Chich in the rainy season was exceptional, blessed with sun and only a few heavy rains that cleared up quicky. We love birds and nature and the location of this property when seen from the air was breathtaking for the expanse of wilderness in every direction. The lodge itself was lovely, staff extremely competent and the grounds immaculately kept. Long may Chan Chich and its reserve remain as pristine and lovely as it is today.

Outstanding natural experience.

You'll experience a true jungle setting with all the advantages of a five star hotel. We had the time of our lives. The guides are very knowledgeable and can answer all your questions regarding flora, fauna, history, and the ancient Mayan ruins on which the lodge is built. The staff go out of their way to make sure your every need is met. If you're into birding, you'll think you're in paradise. I couldn't recommend this spot highly enough!
