I Stayed here two wonderful nights but wish it could have been more. This part of Belize is incredible but under explored which makes it the perfect place to really get away from all the tourist traps and experience the "real" Belize. But don't think that means you have to rough it. The Lodge at Big Falls offers five star... More

Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay at the lodge. We look forward to being able to welcome you back again when you have more time to explore the "deep south" of Belize. It is as you say, "under-explored" and this is perfect time to visit and experience it before more development begins to change the nature... More

Our group of 5, family of four and 1 friend, stayed here for four days in December. It was very enjoyable and memorable. The cabanas are nicely designed, with gorgeous thatched roofs, modern accoutrements. The grounds are lovely, great trees and flowers, lots of birds, some small animals. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The bar and dining room... More

We were welcomed by our very warm host Rob Hirons, and his staff, who were very accomodating with our needs. The beautiful Katerina, a local Mayan girl is the Assistant Manageress who also runs the bar together with her brother Steve who is the local tour guide. Steve's knowledge of birds and his eye for photography is amazing. Rob gives... More

Many thanks, Nigel and Yogi, for taking the time to write about the lodge, although I am not sure I am too keen on the "colonial Brit" epithet; maybe in appearance but I hope not in attitude. Everyone visiting Belize should bring a good mosquito repellent with deet. Mosquitoes do not normally make themselves felt year round and as the... More

We spent a few days at Big Falls with 3 generations of family members from 7 to 70. Rob and Marta made us feel at home. The food was great, and the quiet setting was inviting. Seeing the ruins and the local flavor of Belize was something I don't think you'll get with a big corporate run hospitality organization. More... More

I spent a weekend at the Lodge at Big Falls, close to Punta Gorda in the Toledo District in Belize City with my wife and enjoyed it very much. After a 5 minute bumpy but safe ride down a road off the highway, we got to the lodge. Even though it was close to the village, it still felt like... More

We spent one night here -- while visiting Mayan ruins. The resort grounds were very beautiful with plenty of plants and a river running by the property. The Lodge had Wifi which was important to me. The owners were very helpful in offering local tips. Dinner was good - although more options would have been preferred. Room lacked curtains on... More

The Lodge at Big Falls is run by the wonderful couple of Rob and Marta Hirons. They set up such a wonderful place in a hidden but still well-reachable spot in southern Belize! The lodge actually consists of 7 cabanas plus the main building (reception, dining, bar, library, little gift shop etc.). The cabanas are nicely decorated. 6 of them... More

We stayed here for the second part of our destination wedding trip to Belize. The property is in a small village, and outside of excursions there is no reason the leave. The gardens are beautiful and the plant life is abundant. The river was very relaxing, although too high and cloudy this time of year for us to jump in.... More

This was our second visit to the Lodge at Big Falls and likely won't be the last. We were thrilled to see the big pool -- perfect after a day of exploring. We stayed in one of the newest units near the main lodge. It was ideal for a family -- complete with a kitchenette and spacious bathroom -- and... More
