Bocawina Rainforest Resort & Adventures

Pros: The property is beautiful (in the middle of the national park), there are lots of activities, and the food at the lodge is quite tasty. Cons: no a/c in the rooms and the activities were QUITE expensive--$50/person for a hike! So while it was a nice place, it seemed overpriced compared to other ecolodges in Belize. Also the main trail in the park was very poorly maintained (park service responsibility) so just beware and pack long sleeves and sturdy shoes or you will get cut up quite a bit.

The resort was very accommodating, the restaurant is delicious, and the environment of being in the rainforest is truly amazing! The rooms themselves are fine but nothing special, but you really don’t need to spend much time in them. There is a ton of outdoor activities here and easy to arrange. I would stay here again.

Our Bocawina resort stay was excellent. It got off to a rough start just finding the place because of the lack of signs once on the jungle road. This is probably only an issue if you are driving yourself. The resort is beautiful with manicured gardens and traditional thatch roofs. There are ziplines that pass through the resort and further into the jungle so you can watch the adventure seekers zip past! In the mornings we watched the humming birds (I saw at least 4 species) visit the flowers and listened to the singing birds...spectacular! The room was comfortable. We were in a standard room. Housekeeping does a great job. The bathroom is a bit dated but has everything you need. Note: there is no air con, but it was not an issue for us. There were adequate fans to cool us down. Probably the best part was the incredible hiking you can do so close to the resort. We hiked the Bocawina trail for about an hour until we got to a waterfall pool and took a swim! We saw ocelot footprints and a variety of jungle birds. Mosquitoes are plentiful (the resort is in the jungle) so anytime you leave the room I recommend using bug spray. We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The resort grows most of their fruit and vegetables and the taste was excellent! We had the fry jack breakfast and it was more than enough to share. For dinner we had the snapper fillets, which were delicious.

Me encanto la experiencia la gente muy amable es súper seguro

It was a beautiful place nested in the Mayflower Jungle and the cabanas and rooms matched the environment perfectly. People and staff were very hospitable especially Caralee and Mr. P. The people at Wild Fig were so kind and food was great. The excursions were well organized and adventure staff were fun. Only thing I would suggest is to have more Belizean type food.

Amazing place.

Fabulous place! Truly a bucket-list experience! The resort is beautiful; immaculately manicured grounds with beautiful native plants. Room was very nice, this is definitely a high-class place for Belize. The restaurant had delicious food! Service was exceptional, Caralee and Darwin at the front desk and Reina and Ragner in the restaurant were all extremely friendly and accomodating. The park that surrounds the resort is the reason you come obviously. What a treasure Bocawina is! Gorgeous, healthy rainforest; amazing waterfalls, endless flora and fauna. We saw a crocodile, a coatimundi and a pack of pecaries all within a couple kilometers from the hotel. The trails are well cleared and marked, easy access to the rainforest is great! Bring your DEET!

Beautiful grounds in the middle of a valley in the rainforest

Beautiful property with friendly, helpful staff! However, we stayed 3 nights which was too long - there is nothing to do in the evenings, and the restaurant is extremely expensive (although very delicious food). Highly recommend bringing your own food and drinks to save money, as we were shocked the amount we spent for a few meals while there with no other options for 3 full days - whether just your lunches or snacks etc. the hikes were great, but we wished we had stayed two nights (or even just one) as two days of hiking were enough even with zip lining. Overall, beautiful spot with excellent hiking so delivered for what we wanted, just be prepared it is isolated so not to stay too long. Had we stayed one night only with two full days, the expensive food and quiet night would of been fine in a small dose and I would have giving 5/5 review!

The location of the resort inside the park is really great! The grounds are well maintained and the lush jungle vegetation and huge trees are so beautiful! Great hikes to waterfalls starting right there. Birdwatching right from your room porch. What wasn't so great is how basic the basic rooms are... They feel quite dated and aren't too inviting. But they served our purpose of being inside the park. The resort's restaurant served good food but was overpriced for Belize ($20 US main dish plus taxes).
