Copal Tree Lodge a Muy'Ono Resort

My time at Copal Tree Lodge was lovely. If you are looking for a secluded getaway in the midst of the rainforest, then look no further. The staff at Copal Tree are all exceptionally kind and helpful. The kitchen/restaurant was delicious. The dinner menu changes every night and there are always lovely options of both local dishes as well as foreign ones. They also gladly accommodated my dietary requests. Most everything they serve is made from scratch using ingredients from their own garden and farm. While I would have liked to explore Punta Gorda more, I absolutely adored staying out at the lodge and exploring the grounds on the hiking trails. I did however go on a few excursions organized by the lodge, the one that stood out was the half day birdwatching. Our guide Matt was thoroughly knowledgeable and took us to various hotspots where we saw 33 bird species and even a family of howler monkeys!

Gorgeous setting with a number of activities. The prices definitely reflect the upscale nature of the resort but very much worth it. Extremely kind and attentive staff. Fantastic food and drinks. Comfortable room. I also, very unexpectedly, really enjoyed learning about bird watching - highly recommend at least a half day with Matt.

The Copal Tree Lodge is the perfect crossroads of luxury, adventure, health and sustainability. It’s not just a resort; it’s an organic jungle farm that treats its guests like royalty while giving access to stunningly beautiful rainforest views, wildlife, and excursions. The true magic of the lodge are the people though. We took a coffee cupping tour and went kayaking early in the morning with Andres. His deep knowledge and appreciation for the beautiful ecosystem the farm is situated on was impressive and inspiring. Absolutely serene moments and seeing the beautiful wildlife on the river were a major highlight of the trip. Thank you so much Andres! All of our tours of the farm were just so cool. We learned about their entire coffee, rum, and chocolate making process from seeds to sipping. It was so wonderful walking through the farm and learning about each plants history and life cycle before actually trying our hands at making coffee and our own chocolate bars. Our guides like Martin, Marcelo, Jamal, and Andres were so knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about their sustainable, organic practices that produce the highest quality ingredients. That beautiful little farm is the source of one of our other major highlights: the food! Nearly every meal was the best meal of my life. Farm-to-table doesn’t do it justice, everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Melanie and Emelda were so kind and gracious, Ducky and Chee kept the amazing drinks flowing, and we had the time of our lives. The mixology class was a last, and Copalli is the only rum I’ll buy from now on! Overall, our stay here was unforgettable. If you want to experience true rainforest with the absolute best service and highest comfort, AND have nothing but healthy and mind blowing delicious food, Copali Tree Lodge is the place to be. We will be back as soon as possible!!

Fantastic place to stay. Such a beautiful setting, great food and very friendly people. The lodge offers lots of outings which are fun but it is also a beautiful place to just relax, read and listen to the wildlife especially the howler monkeys!

amazing views and so many fun activities. I love the tortilla making and the mayan ruins. The food is also amazing, The rotating menu is great and as a family, there’s lots of shareable plates. I really recommend if your coming to belize to check it out and enjoy your stay.

Jaw droppingly beautiful. The entire property is amazing, from the vegetable gardens, farm land, distillery, restaurant, pools, rooms, hiking trails, the river, and most importantly the staff. You will not regret visiting this place and if you enjoy snorkeling, absolutely try Snorkeling with the chef
