Reviewer: Professor of Conservation; Travel/Ecology Course. The Gallon Jug Chan Chich leg of our two week journey through Belize in January of 2008 could not have been more pleasant or productive. The immaculate lodging and grounds reveal extraordinary attention to detail. Without exception staff persons were cordial and efficient; we felt a warm welcome at every turn. Meals here were... more

Phenomenal place, people, land, birds, canoeing, community, could speak more highly of the experience, and recommend it highly to all couples, groups, families, and birders looking for a premium and fun and remote but relaxing time. more

This is an incredibly special place - I've been twice - each time staying for a week - and plan to go back again as many times as I can. Unexpected luxury - but understated and comfortable - in the middle of the jungle. Staff are friendly and courteous, guides are knowledgable and well trained, and the management is attentive,... more

My boyfriend and I so enjoyed our stay at Chanchich from start to finish. At first I was a little apprehensive about a trip into the jungle, as I'm not really an outdoorsy person (read, I dont like bugs), but I forgot my fears once we got there since Chan chich is such a beautiful corner of the earth --... more

I've stayed in a huge number of 'safari' type lodges. And when I arrived at this one I was rather disappointed - it was large and luxurious in the extreme, neither of which seemed to bode well for wildlife. I had just spent three days eating with my fingers on a desert island, and so sitting down to a three... more

My wife and I were there for four nights following four nights at Lamanai Outpost Lodge. Chan Chich Lodge sent an air-conditioned SUV with a driver/guide to pick us up for the overland transfer. We enjoyed the ride through the beautiful countryside and birded all the way over to Chan Chich stopping for ice cream at a gas station along... more

We just spent a week at Chan Chich and the stay exceeded expectations. Rather than repeat what others have said I will try to provide some additional insight. Lodging: - We were in a deluxe cabana and it was great. Especially considering the location. Large bed, big closet, plenty of storage areas. The bathroom had double sinks, a double headed... more

Of course, it’s a top-range jungle lodge and one of the best we’ve ever stayed at. Our guide – the older Gilberto – was very knowledgeable about birds could identify them by sound. However, the wildlife is somewhat less abundant than advertised though still better than anywhere else in Belize’s jungle,. Our cabana itself was near-perfect, the pool wonderful and... more

We had a fantastic trip to Chan Chich! The facilities are great, the food good, the staff expert and the jungle awesome. We were incredibly fortunate to see jaguars (twice!). Don't go expecting to see big cats, but know that this is a place where magic can happen and does! more
