The resort is beautiful, simple, run by caring, intelligent people. Chena, who manages the place is a western-educated traditional Mayan herbalist. If you want to understand the local ecosystem, Chena's nature walks are for you. She and her crew will arrange tours, suggest destinations, will spend time to figure out which of the many amazing options (tubing, caves, kayaking, Mayan... More

We wanted to be more adventurous this trip. So, AS PLANNED, we took the bus from Belize City to Clarissa Falls. We got off at the Clarissa Falls bus stop and began our one mile walk to the resort, because we traveled with backpacks, this was very doable. If one had luggage, I would advise alternate transportation. During our walk,... More

The ranch is amazing. If you drive here from the Belize airport, keep driving until you think you must have passed it, and then drive another 5 miles. The location is perfect; right on the river. We were greeted first by horses, cows, geese and ducks. Our 3 year old daughter was in heaven. Next, Chena greeted us with a... More

Staying at Clarissa Falls Resort, a beautiful quiet jungle hideaway on the Mopan River,we were treated to a comfortable,unique thatched roofed hut with a hot-shower bathroom. Our stay was delightful and enhanced by excellent food, Warm Friendly Owners, Ms Gena and Mark, and easy accessibility to several Mayan ruins. We especially liked supporting a local historic Belize working ranch that... More

The family that owns the ranch also runs the place and is so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable it's amazing. The food was very very good and most importantly fresh. Once you enter the ranch, it's a little worry-some because it looks like you are in the middle of nowhere but once you see your hut you will be thrilled. Such... More

Our first stop in Belize was with Ms. Chena and Clarissa Falls. I wanted my children (ages 7 and 10) to enjoy the inland before we headed to Ambergris Cay to stay in a luxurious resort. My kids LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the resort! Chena fed my picky-eater with such kindness...and now he begs me to make some of her meals!!!... More

We stayed here a week but could have easily stayed longer. Chena and her family make you feel right at home as soon as you arrive, and are very gracious and generous hosts. Anything you need they will help you, whether it's a ride into town or organizing any of the numerous tours to do in the area. The food... More

We offer an 8 night adventure package, and eat lunch here weekly. We have also stayed here on private trips. Belize budget lodging can be hit and miss. Clarissa Falls is a fantastic alternative to the more expensive places in the Cayo area of Belize. Situated along the banks of the Mopan River, and just 5-1/2 miles west of San... More

I stayed at Clarissa Falls from 10/13 to 10/17. From the first night I got there, I felt like just part of the family. And it wasn't as the result of them being overbearing and trying to be overly nice, they just naturally welcomed me. It's just the way they are. The river was too high so I couldn't do... More
