We were looking for a quiet stay in the jungle to bird watch and to hike in the jungle. Chan Chich was everything you would ever want in a jungle stay. The accommodations were deluxe, the lodge beautiful, the guides were excellent, food great, friendly staff and the birding was amazing. We hiked and biked and loved every minute. I think we spotted over 70 species of birds in 6 days.

We stayed her just for one night. Elder & his staff made us feel very special & looked after us extremely well. We were the last guests of the season as they are closing for the month of September. The drive to the lodge from Orange Walk Town took about 3 hours, mainly on well maintained dirt roads. As we neared the gate we saw a lot of deer & turkeys. On arrival we were greeted by Elder with a refreshing glass of fresh lime juice. He then showed us around & took us to our room. He had upgraded us to a deluxe cabana, which was very luxurious, with a kingsize bed, twin showers/sinks & a mini bar! Outside was a wraparound deck with hammock & comfy futon style chair aswell as 2 chairs & table. The deck look out on an unexcavated Mayan ruin & the rainforest. There are 9 miles of trails & we went on several walks. You can get a guide, but we just went by ourselves. It was very hot & steamy & we did get very close to a crocodile! There is a beautiful swimming pool & jacuzzi, completely meshed in, so no leaves in the pool or beasties! We took the meal package for US$70 which was excellent value & the food was delicious & served beautifully. We had pre-dinner drinks & snacks in the lovely bar & then ate outside, listening to the jungle sounds. Chan Chich is a very well run Lodge. We certainly had a very relaxing weekend in this little secret haven & we shall definitely return.

We loved our time at Chan Chich. It was incredible. The service was impeccable, from the time we got off of the plane till the moment we got back on the plane. The guides there are incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna, and (of course) Belizean culture. We chose a package that included guided hikes and drives and were not disappointed. Gilberto, Luis, Marvin, and Raul all did excellent jobs as our guides. Be sure to do a night drive, it's your best chance to see a Cat!!

All you can want from a remote jungle lodge with excellent customer service. The staff are totally lovely, serving 3 course meals and fresh juices all day long. The guides are knowledgeable and passionate about the area - some of them having built the place decades ago.
Chan chich is luxurious, discreet, private, relaxing and surrounded by amazing monkeys. It was lovely to spend the days with such friendly people that care deeply about making your stay perfect.
