Tanager RainForest Lodge

No air conditioning in the rooms with an outside temperature at 39 Celsius during the day and 29 at night. This was not well reflected when booking. I have to cancel one nigh, however the hotel took two nights from my card, saying that ******* is the one to refund me. This looks like a scam and unfair. That was the first I was booking with *******, but I am disappointed.

Lovely setting and equally lovely people. Birds galore and Steve, the resident bird expert, is a kind and knowledgeable guide to the wonders of the jungle, as well to the local Mayan culture.

It was a beautiful experience. You can book lots of excursions, like chocolate making, spice farm, and a day at the falls also Maya ruins. It offers a bird watching paradise, I saw so many beautiful colourful birds. It boasts 250 different bird species, when the total country has 600 different species so that was a pleasant surprise.

The overall cleanliness of the place on a whole was top notch,didn't realize there was no tv and wifi didn't work in room but i realized this was a blessing as our family had the best time we've had in years with our teenagers playing boardgames talking and getting back to connecting with each other as we did when they were kids we will definitely be returning absolutely 💯 ❤️

We stayed at Tanager Lodge last weekend January12th through the14th. The grounds were well kept with numerous trees and plants with signs naming them. Staff put out fruit and attracted many birds. Not only a variety of Tanagers, also Orioles, Woodpecker and many others. Steve was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about birding. Our Cabana was well kept with a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom and shower design. Staff was extremely helpful doing whatever anyone required. No Baileys for one guests morning coffee was rectified by the following morning. The meals were all very good with a nice selection. River tubing and Hot Springs were fun. Will return for Kayak trip with Steve and birding.

Belize has more to offer than just beaches. The Lodge is tucked away in the beauty of the rainforest along the Rio Grande. Accommodations are comfortable and offer a view into a way of living in harmony with the world around us. We stayed in one of the thatched roof cabanas right at the river's edge. Highly recommended. Authentic Belizean cuisine is served daily and exceeded our expectations. Fresh, local and exotic ingredients make each meal a new experience. Morning bird watching with coffee on the patio was amazing. Steve was an incredibly knowledgeable and easy going guide. A consummate professional and true naturalist, Steve led us on a journey that truly opened our eyes to the beauty of southern Belize. Excursions to Mayan archeological sites gave us some insight into a fascinating culture. Visits to a spice farm, butterfly preserve, cacao farm and chocolatier, swimming under a waterfall as well as a boat ride up the Monkey River and into the jungle gave us a better understanding of the Mayan people's close relationship to the world around them. Our trip included a package of excursions, which gave us an organized schedule with plenty of down-time for relaxing. All of the staff at Tanager Rainforest Lodge were attentive, professional and made every effort to insure that we had a great visit. We left feeling like a part of the family.
