This place was magical. My only recommendation would be to invest in an app that provides a map of the entire resort, this would make it easier to navigate the premises. The WiFi services could also be better, but I assume the point is to disconnect. All in all it was amazing.

We received a warm reception and a room upgrade during for our 3 nights stay. The location was ideal for either traveling West (Cayo) or South (Stann Creek). The property is gorgeously maintained. The room was absolutely lovely. Only complain was we had no hot water for showers a night and reported it. Front desk told me I shouldn't open the faucet all the way but it did not help. When I told them, it was like "oh well". The next morning, the water was still cold and I had to walk to reception, after which they sent someone. Turned out to be an electrical problem. We enjoyed a breakfast there and take away dinner. Both were good. It was so quiet and relaxing, with the sounds of nature and a small creek out front of the cottage. I would recommend this property and definitely stay there again.

What a lovely unique hotel. We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The only negative was it is far away from everything so your only dining choices are their 2 restaurants. The prices were very high for dining. The main restaurant I ordered shrimp and received 3 tiny shrimp for $44 usd. The pizza place had excellent wood fired pizza! But each pizza was the size of a medium and was $34 usd each. There were 2 of us and we needed 2 pizzas as they are thin crust. So $68 usd for 2 medium pizzas. Yikes! Other than that the staff was beyond helpful and informative. Our room was huge with a very comfortable bed.

Staff were all amazing, so friendly and helpful. Our creekside cottage was perfect, the bed was comfy, loved the outdoor tub, and even had our own nespresso machine!! Tours were a little pricey so in all honesty, some we booked ourself. Loved our mayan cooking class and excursions through Upsidedown Tours, which the lodge introduced us to, hats off to them especially kevin and orlin!! A beautiful stay. You won't be disappointed. They seem to have booking sales too, so check and see.

This place is absolutely amazing and even better than I expected! After one day at Sleeping Giant I was already planning a return trip. The rooms are beautiful and have AC strong enough to counteract the hot and humid jungle climate. Arguably even better than the rooms were the amazing grounds which had tons of activities - including kayaking, swimming in the river or at the gorgeous pool, hiking on trails through the jungle, walking across hanging bridges, horse back riding, climbing a giant tree house, and more. We were never bored and honestly struggled between whether to go on the excursions or to spend more time enjoying the property at the resort. With respect to dining, the food at both of the restaurants was fabulous every single meal. Everything we had was amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegan and vegetarians options offered. Everyone at the resort was so incredibly friendly. There are so many people to thank for our excellent stay but we especially enjoyed talking to Eileen at the Grove and Dorris, who facilitated all of our excursions. In sum, I can't imagine a better place to stay!

Great service and good food. Pizza place established since my last visit and was excellent. Beautiful indigenous flora. Loved the balcony set up, hammock and river view. Only desire not met was, comfortable lounging chair and footstool in room. Lots of rain so additional drains may be needed. I wore lot of flip flops so ok with getting wet feet but some guest may be apprehensive.

This resort is breathtaking! We stayed in one of the river-view suites on the second floor. The AC worked very well and the views from the balcony were amazing. We saw many types of birds, frogs, lizards, and butterflies. There are many different hiking trails and free activities to do on-site. We took advantage of the kayaks and bikes available for use. The staff was very nice and inviting. Overall, a great experience!

Rainforest Getaway
Came on our honeymoon. Stayed at the mountainbiew suite. The hotel is smack dab in the middle of the rainforest. Hotel itself is very cool and has plenty of places to explore, walk around and things to see. I enjoyed the ducks and animals around. The suite was nothing short of magnificent. Very spacious with incredible views. The plunge pool was used on a regular basis. So easy to just wind down after an adventure or cool off for a bit. Something very easing to just rlax and hear the forest and its sounds. The hammock in the room was a game changer. I love hammocks. So swaying to the sounds of the jungle was the best. Nothing like morning coffee on the hammock. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Staff would always encourage and offer to bring anything we needed straight to our room. Especially fortunate since there are a lot of stairs leading to the mountanview suites. Great location to go to ATM caves or blue hole. The blue hole was one of our favorite stops. Its very close to the hotel. We rented a car and could make the afternoon trip. It was empty. With clear water and a nice dio with some fishes, which I enjoy. We also were fortunate to see a pack of howler monkeys above us. The ATM caves are also a must see. The hotel seemed enpty in the best way. We felt we had it all to ourselves, which my wife loved. Cannot recommend it enough.

What a beautiful place. We stayed in the Riverview suites with the plunge pool and it was a beautiful room. But for how much money we spent we were a little bit disappointed. We were given a baby crib that was broken. So we had to stuff pillows and blankets under the crib to prop it up so my son could have a proper sleep. We would order room service every night and the amount we were charged for a small grilled cheese sandwich or a small bowl of soup was ridiculous We really appreciated all the vegan options
