The views from each room were picturesque and simply amazing. The home is remote from town and roads are not the best but still a wonderful place to stay. The host Walter is very knowledgeable and helpful and accommodating. With his guidance, we were able to see all of the local sites including the ruins, waterfalls, cave etc. The location of the house is perfect, and we were able to see the spider monkeys, enjoy the pontoon boat trip, and can hear the howler monkeys throughout the day. We requested a chef for our meals, and they are reasonably priced and each day we had a delicious breakfast and dinner prepared fresh for us. A very enjoyable and peaceful retreat to disconnect from the electronics. ![entry way to the caves which are explored via the canoes.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbb1ac75-7bfa-4c8e-9155-343635b47a13-1754858123318.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![cave entrance and the water is crystal clear.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3f789640-553b-4bc0-b3fd-7c90e0996360-1754858123293.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![the caves at barton creek. amazing excursion and a must-see place in belize.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bdc1ed8b-74ee-4c88-bccc-aebb11b0daa4-1754858123248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c9527b76-cab1-499a-b369-7f94445ba5fb-1754858123324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Irfan B.
