“We love these guys!! Kid tested and approved!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We loved our time at Moonracer Farm. It is peaceful there and at the same time offers lots to do and see and learn. Tom and Marge are wonderful people who love Belize and go out of their way to make sure you get the experience you are looking for. They also understand and like kids, which can make such a difference. We are on an extended trip with a 6 and 8 year old and this was their favorite place to date. They learned about ants and trees, fed the gibnuts, swung on the swing in the palapa, learned how to climb vines in the jungle, explored caves that the Mayans used, practiced chopping down bushes with a machette, held baby iguanas, played in the river at Rio On Pools and fell into bed happy and exhausted every night. Marge even sent us on our way with a package of homemade chocolate chip cookies which completely made the kids day. Thank you so much for everything Tom and Marge! -P,L,O &S

“Need to stay longer when we return!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

We planned our trip to Belize in a very short time frame. As much as I wanted to stay at MRF for 4 nights, they only had 2 nights available for us. Marge was incredibly helpful with answering questions about the region, getting us directions from our first place of accommodation and even helping us to make the most of our time there.

Our room was very clean, simply furnished.
The bathrooms have your typical running plumbing; the best hot shower I had was at MRF - great water pressure!!! This is key in my book.
Comfortable bed and pillows. There were 2 queen size beds in our room, nightstand, a small table, chair. The hammock on our screened in porch was very inviting. There was also a small table and chair in the screened in porch.
Bring a couple flashlights as there is no electricity and it is very dark at night. Bring your bug repellant too.
It was chilly at night for me; end of January, so I recommend bringing a couple of long sleeve shirts, pants & a hoodie/sweatshirt.

Tom makes a mean MRF rum drink - ask for one!
Marges cooking was just like home - good comfort food! We enjoyed pork tenderloin, steak, fresh bread from her clay oven, chyote - my new fav veggie, and homemade desserts. Breakfasts were large and plenty to get you on your next adventure; fresh fruit, homemade bread, eggs, pastry. Delicious!

We planned a day trip to Caracol, as MRF is about 5 mls from the entrance to the Mountain pine ridge reserve so this made sense for planning. They arranged our guide/driver to pick us up at MRF. It was an amazing day visiting the Caracol ruins, a stop off at Rio on Pools & Cave. Highly recommend it.

Our next day we drove back to the Mountain Pine Ridge reserve to check out "Big Rock". Beautiful waterfall with pools below for swimming. No one else was there. Be very careful on the trail down/up, very precarious.
Word of caution with driving up to MRF or the pine ridge; take your time enjoy the scenery. The roads are pretty bad; we rented a 4x4 from Thrifty and were happy with them.

I will definitely be recommending Moonracer Farm to anyone interested in visiting Belize. There is so much to do in the Cayo region; we barely scratched the surface. We look forward to staying at Moonracer Farm again, when we return to Belize.
Thanks Marge and Tom!!!

Room Tip: you can stay in one of 2 rooms or reserve the entire cabin for larger groups!

“Much more than a place to sleep!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Marge and Tom aren't just innkeepers, they're two incredibly personable people who welcome you into their home and treat you like old friends (including lively political repartee if that's you choice). The tours they arranged for us were guided by the best in the area (Caracol, ATM, and Tikal). Upon returning from each incredible adventure, Marge has a fantastic meal waiting. The rum punch is awesome too! The accommodations are very comfortable, but you still get a feel for life on the edge of civilization. That's why you go, right? Overall, an unforgettable experience.

“Wonderful jungle experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I spent the first 3 nights of our Belize vacation with Marge and Tom at Moonracer Farm. I had done my due diligence online, and ahead of time, researching places to stay and decided that Moonracer was the one. However, after landing at BZE and explaining to the taxi driver where we were going and how we were going to get there (we made the mistake of not getting airport transfer services through Moonracer), I must admit we had some misgivings. After a very bumpy ride down the Georgeville Road, we made it to Moonracer Farm, and Marge and Tom were already at our taxi door and helping with our luggage before we could even get out. After our first night at Moonracer, we knew we had made the right choice; the company, the food, and the adventures they set up for us were all worth the ride into the jungle. It was so easy to just tell Marge which activities we wanted to do and have them all set up for us prior to our arrival. Marge's cooking is spectacular and, I believe, made from all local ingredients. Both Tom and Marge are so friendly that you feel very welcome and at home at Moonracer Farm. We have raved (and will continue to do so) about Moonracer Farm to all of those interested in staying in Cayo.

“An Amazing Adventure!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

person found this review helpful

My husband and I decided to take a trip to Belize for our 20th anniversary. For the first three days we wanted the "jungle experience" to explore some of the adventure the Cayo District has to offer. We chose Moonracer Farm as our home base and could not be more happy with our decision. Tom and Marge are amazing hosts and really went all out to provide for our every need. The food was delicious, the tips very helpful and the company quite enjoyable. While Moonracer is a Jungle lodge, truly in the jungle and mostly off the grid, the accomodations were quite comfortable and we did not lack for anything. They even had Wifi so we could chat with our kids in the evening to tell them of our adventures. I would highly recommend Moonracer to anyone looking to travel to this part of Belize, and a trip to the ruins at Caracol should not be missed. Thank you Tom & Marge for such a great time.
