Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed, plus being close to the main building for meals was incredibly convenient. The service from the family who runs the resort was exceptional and made us feel like part of their family. The only downside was that we were the only guests during our visit because of the pandemic, which might not be the usual experience. Overall, it's a fantastic place for bird lovers and those looking for a peaceful retreat.

My stay at Crystal Paradise was absolutely unforgettable! The family atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made for a truly relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious and immaculate, but the thin walls meant I occasionally heard noise from neighboring guests. The food was excellent, with generous portions and a great variety that catered to all dietary needs. Overall, I felt safe and well cared for, which made my adventures even more enjoyable. The only drawback was some noise at night from barking dogs, but it didn’t overshadow the great experiences I had here.

We had an amazing time at the lodge, immersed in the beautiful Belizean jungle. The rooms were spacious and very clean, facilitating a comfortable stay. I especially loved the dining experience as the staff catered to our dietary needs with creativity and care. However, the location felt a bit disconnected from the main attractions, which made logistics a challenge. Overall, it provided great value for a unique birding experience.

I had an incredible stay immersed in the beauty of nature at this resort. The setting was absolutely stunning with lush surroundings, and the family running it were so welcoming and accommodating. The food was genuinely delicious, showcasing local flavors and home-cooked styles. On the downside, I encountered some minor hot water issues in my lodge, but overall, it didn't detract from my experience. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors while having a comfortable home base.

I had a fantastic time at this locally owned resort. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the activities available were engaging and fun. However, there were some pest issues in the cabanas that made my stay less than perfect. The location by the river was beautiful, but the shared spaces could feel a bit cramped at times.

Rooms
6.0
The cabanas were spacious and clean, but there were noticeable pest issues that detracted from the experience. It was also a bit noisy due to the walls not going all the way to the peak, which allowed sounds from neighboring guests to carry through.
Service

The hospitality was genuine, especially when they drove us to deliver supplies at a local school and helped us arrange birding tours. The staff was generally helpful and courteous.
Location

Nestled near the river in a jungle setting, the location is great for wildlife lovers. However, it’s not deep in the rainforest and feels a bit more residential with nearby farms and properties.
Dining

The meals served were delicious and home-cooked family-style, though the pricing for kids could use some rethinking.
Facilities

The grounds were lovely, with various seating and swings that made for a great gathering space during meals, but the shared nature of some facilities could feel cramped.
