Last week my husband and I stayed for the 4th time at Black Orchid Resort. Each time we have been there we have been pampered by the staff and owners. Because it has been a while since we were there, I was very happily amazed with the upgrades Black Orchid did in their rooms. As always the rooms are very... More

We would give one review rating for the hotel property, but a very different rating for honesty of tour arrangement... Large (maybe 26' x16') clean, pretty modern room with a/c and nice bath. We were extremely satisfied with the room. There is also an attractive fairly reasonable restaurant on property with adequate, familar food choices. The hotel really is less... More

Hello valued guest, thank you for your review of my property and thank you for your honesty. I read your review with much anxiety as the Black Orchid Resort, my standards have been greavely violated. You felt riped off because you were. It is Sunday afternoon and the folks at the front desk that were on duty at the time... More

Black Orchid is a hidden jewel! The owner's, the Thomas's, and the resort manager Beverly make you feel like family, always there to answer questions and respond to your needs. The rooms are clean, comfortable and air conditioned, with some having a direct view of the Belizean River. I spent 9 days at Black Orchid and the high level of... More

We spent one night here before heading to Placencia. The room was amazing with a balcony overlooking the river where we sat and enjoyed the monkeys and birds. We had a very restful night after enjoying dinner and wine in the dining room. Earlier we had drinks in the little bar just off the dining room. Everything was very clean... More

A friend and I stayed here for one night only at the end of our 9 day trip to Belize. We had chosen it primarily for its location near the airport and because many hotels in Belize City itself sounded pretty sketchy. We were very pleasantly surprised! The presentation on Black Orchid's website does not do justice to the hotel.... More

We stayed at this location for 3 nights with our small children. The wild life was amazing, Howler monkeys and an assortment of birds in the trees surrounding us. The hotel is small, safe and comfortable on the river bank. Bev made us feel like family and when we came back through a week later for our return flight we... More

The Black Orchid is acutally in Burrell Boom, or Ladyville - which in fact is a superior location in my opinion to staying in Belize City. Why? It is quiet, safer, closer to the airport and the resort itself if far better than anything you can locate currently in Belize City. The staff is very, nice, and most willing to... More

We stayed at Black Orchid for one night, our last night in Belize, because it is close to the airport. This is a lovely place on the river and our biggest regret is that we didn't have more time to experience it. Beverly, the assistant manager, embodies the positive characteristics of the Belizean people; she is gracious, accommodating and pleasant.... More

Just 8 miles from the airport is a resort that was so comfortable and accommodating that we can't wait to return. The food was good, the service great, and staff so friendly you'll feel like family. BOR is 21 miles from the Mayan ruins - Altun Ha and 18 quick miles from Belize City, which I would recommend you avoid... More

We stopped for lunch here after visiting the Community Baboon Sanctuary. Beautiful location on river and had a nice, relaxing lunch before heading to the the airport. Looked like a nice place to stay. A local bank was having a retreat there the day we stopped.
