Crystal Paradise Resort exceeded any and all of my expectations. The Tut Family knows how to offer their guests a 5 star experience while still maintaining an authentic feel.

Crystal Paradise is on a pleasant piece of property about 600-700 yards from the Macal river. We arrived at dark around dinner time. After checking into our room (#8) we walked down to the open air "restaurant". Our meals at CP were good hearty homemade stews, roasted meats, very good flour tortillas, ham & eggs for breakfast, fresh fruit, homemade... More

The lodge is a beautifually thatched series of bungalows and cabanas snuggled into the hillside above the Macal River. The main... More

I visited Crystal Paradise in January with my sister. It is a beautiful, family owned resort. The Tut family takes great pride in their resort, the beautiful nature, culture, and history of Belize. By staying here you will benefit not only from a beautiful and clean location, but from the best hospitality you will find in Belize. More
