If you're looking to be taken care of from the time you step off of the plane, this is the place for you. A Caves Branch representative was waiting for us as we exited the airport and called our driver, who showed up within 10m. In the meantime we got tons of friendly helpful information from the rep - and... More

I spent 4 days at the Jungle Lodge. I did all kinds of adventures - caving, hiking, repelling, night hikes through the jungle and swimming in secluded pools. The group cabins were basic but perfect for what I needed while traveling by myself. The showers were fine considering you were in the middle of the jungle. The food was amazing!... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely LOVED it. We were upgraded to the new treehouse and it was supremely splendid. A huge bed, outdoor shower, upper deck, living room tastefully decorated with local (Central American) furniture. The activities are included and are a lot of fun. We especially loved the hike into the cave. Ian... More

I have to give this a better than average rating on everything but the food. The staff are nice, the guides are very competent. Our spacious bungalow was everything we could have wanted: beautiful mural, screened in on two sides so the jungle was always visable, outside as well as indoor shower, hammocks and private patio. Lovely towels and special,... More

I went with two friends to Caves Branch the first week of November. We debated if a 5-day weekend to Belize was doable, and decided from Dallas, it would be okay. Little did we know how much fun, adventure, relaxation, and friendship we'd enjoy in our quick visit. We stayed in a Tree House and felt the value was perfect.... More

I visited Caves Branch 11 years ago and am writing this review from their property - as i decided to come back. With all due respect, I think you need to remove your post as it is not fair to them and more importantly, any travelers researching to visit this gem. They did not commercialize themselves by any means. Yes,... More

This place was such a find! It was situated in the middle of the jungle but within easy reach from a major Highway. What we loved most about the place were our accommodations. There are several different levels of lodging but we chose the best, being the canopy treehouse. It was beautiful. Situated high above a babbling river, our cabin... More

We did not make a reservation coming to Caves Branch and were treated so well by the staff that it made it hard to leave. The property is absolutely stunning, nestled right in the middle of the jungle and it has all the facilities of a luxury property. There is a well maintained pool and hot tub, a bar, gift... More

I was looking around for a review of Ian's Cave Branch lodge to being back fond memories from your stay approx. 10 years ago. First of all, when we went, my wife and I took our two boys, ages 12, and 10 along because we wanted them to experience life outside the State and to take them on an adventure... More

I am very disheartened at the comments by Bob in his “assumption” of what Caves Branch is today while admitting that his assumptions are based on a few pictures posted on Trip Advisor, not from any actual recent experience. For the past 17 years and to this day, every night when I dine with our guests, I ask how do... More

The owners are wonderfully warm, friendly, and welcoming. The well-maintained plantings around the huge, jungle-surrounded property are unendingly beautiful -- the most beauty you will find inland although the whole interior is enchanting, (and of course the coast is beautiful and the islands are stunning). You best not try to walk anywhere on the grounds without your camera, and at... More
