One of the best and charming places I've stayed! Very comfortable "down home" hut! The owner did everything possible to help me with my travel needs. A must stay if you are in the area.

Forgot to mention it is right next to the falls for swimming and for nitetime lullaby.

I spent 4 days at the resort for a trip with a group of University students. Clarissa Falls is the most comfortable and relaxing place I stayed at while I was there and Chena was like my Belizian mother and made every single person there feel welcome. While staying there we took a tour of the ATM Caves went into Guatemala and also explored the Xunantunich ruins nearby. The food was fantastic the rooms were clean and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I absolutely want to make my way back here again.

Absolutely Loved this place! Love the open air dining, the family run atmosphere and the Lovely grounds. Chena Gálvez made us feel right at home and our three year old would often say during the day that he could hardly wait to get back to tell Chena something. The cottages are quite nice. The pictures on their web site don't do them justice. They are clean and fairly spacious. Cool even when it's hot out. Bring a flashlight!!!
The food was really good, our children still talk about the orange and lemon juice made fresh to order, that is was the best they have ever had! We loved to try the different Belizian foods and were quite spoiled by the time we left. We really enjoyed the conversations we had with Chena and her family, especially the interest and time they had for the children.
Thanks for the wonderful Memories and for setting up all the transportation that we needed! The road to get to Clarissa Falls is quite rough, we were wondering if we were on or off the beaten path?!? If you are into "resorts" and room service this is not your place, however if you are into meeting people and seeing more of a "true" Belize you are at the right place. We felt right at home and would love to return!
My only con was the hard beds, beyond that it was a very very nice place.
My only regret is that I didn't bring more hand-me-downs to leave with Chena for the children in the village. I would recommend that anyone going here stuff all the left over pockets and corners of your bags with school supplies and clothes for the village children, as Chena has made it her mission to look out for them. I brought just a couple things and wished I had shared so much more. Next time!!!!

No tourist trap gimmicks here! This is a true Belize vacation destination with great hospitality and AWESOME food!!!!!
