We stayed for three nights before transferring to San Pedro, and I miss Blancaneaux! We transported by heli and when we were greeted by loving staff with horses and buggy, we were ecstatic! All three restaurants are delicious and fun, and the bar staff is fantastic! The property is insanely beautiful and I need to go back just to explore more. We did a couple activities/tours (and the front desk staff is so kind and helpful in arranging that and also so gracious when you mess it up haha), so we were off site half a day at a time, and there is so much more I want to see and do at Blancaneaux We met a lot of cool people and made a lot of memories. This is one of the best overall experiences I’ve had while traveling.

But beware of the road to get there - when we were there in June 2021 they were doing major works and it took much much longer than expected. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renato 9 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect getaway Simply one of the best hotel I’ve ever been to. Staff, service, food, the area, the views. Everything just perfect. The garden is so special, best dinner and best place. We simply loved it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C1EAA3AC4AF62EE94CFC074F5996395782BC2A441623203187897.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16B6AF8C132795FC5F3267EEA69260320DD8BEF91623203190728.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76C02FA0035018B6948896AEE55BD8EF763428E41623203189967.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Renato Stayed 4 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Property and food is excellent. They need to re-do all the stairs. They don't work and flow well. It is an easy correction but it is all wrong. Amazes me that Mr. Coppola being Italian failed on this when the Romans were the champions of roads and accesses. They set the standards for the next milleniums. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Perry 8 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### INCREDIBLE One of the most incredible places I’ve ever stayed! ##### Perry Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing place , highly recommend I loved everything about it , the place, the amenities , the restaurants , the staff, the location , the activities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a great experience this place was. The staff is wonderful, the room is stunning, beauty everywhere you look. Definitely worth the haul up the mountain, and plenty to do once you're up there! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AR, new york, us 4 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed as a family in a 2 bedroom villa overlooking the creek--the villas are massive and extremely comfortable and quaint. The location is unbelievable--by staying next to the creek/river, you wake up to the sound of the water--extremely soothing. The best part besides location is definitely the STAFF--the most amazing people we have ever met! Although some people complain about bugs, we did not really experience any--all of the rooms have nets and the bathrooms have insect repellants--I think in the 5 days/4 nights we got maybe 2 mosquito bites between the 3 of us. We did wear a lot of bug spray (which is actually provided for free by the pool if you forget). The pool is great by the way and a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. ##### AR Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominique, San Francisco 30 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Outstanding place in the jungle Amazing place.

A vacation dream ##### Dominique Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carine, Atlanta 25 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wanted to stay permanently! We visited the lodge for my husband's 50th birthday. I was looking for a place to relax and be pampered and we were not disappointed. There were no pictures that give justice to the cabanas and the sheer beauty of our surrounding. At night time, the smell of the sweet grass permeates the cabanas and is the most awesome smell! The service and food were excellent! Our only complaint was that we should have planned to stay longer. This was a complete surprise trip for my husband (he didn't know where we were going until we arrived at the lodge). By the second day, he wanted for us to start planning a return trip with other couples. We definitely plan on returning to combine our stay with Turtle Inn and La Lancha. ##### Carine Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzy, Los Angeles, CA 4 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Blancaneux -- Luxury in the Jungle of Belize!! So after having heard of Coppola's place years ago, I decided to take my teenage kids over spring break this year. We were there for 4 nights and really loved it. It is truly IN the jungle, which is great, as we live in LA so didn't need just the beach experience in Belize (as we get the beach all year round) It is a beautiful lodge and the people there are truly the best part! We were in C2 cabana -- not one of the big villas, but it was absolutely fine. Still has a great porch/veranda and river view. The pool was lovely, the hot pool so relaxing, and my daughter said the spa was great (she had a facial). As for the dining, there are 3 options -- in the lodge there is restaurant, which is really good, which we ate at a few times. Then in the organic garden there is a family style dinner where you go get a tour of the garden and then they serve you dinner (I think there were maybe 15 or so of us that night). That was great fun and the food was delicious. And, then our last night we dined at the Guatemala restaurant, which is small right next to the pool and we really loved that. Johnny, our waiter was the bomb. Also, we loved Happy Hour . Great drinks. Also, hiking to Big Rock waterfall was worth it -- the waterfall is so beautiful. And, if you can -- swim up into the waterfall where you can stand on the rock and let the water run down on you. It is really magical. Just bring plenty of water with you on the hike, it is hot out there! :-) ##### Suzy Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Luca 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Luca Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyson 13 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Alyson Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salvatore 6 Jul 2023 ##### Salvatore Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Entertainment in Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d7583-thotelwithentertainment.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pook's Hill Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Teakettle-Village-Hotels-Pooks-Hill-Lodge.h25720286.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Lille](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lille-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6035307-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [villagehotels Hotels in Cheltenham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Village-Hotels.0-0-d4597--bVillageHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Island Magic Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caye-Caulker-Hotels-Island-Magic-Beach-Resort-Ltd.h5261305.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Patras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patras-Hotels.d7503.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Balcony in Malmö](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malmo-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-0-d2357-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Private Chef Included,PrivateBeach,PrivatePool,WiFi,2Kayak,2GolfCarts, Boat&Cap](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro-Hotels-Private-Chef-Included.h21432301.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Winchester-Hotels.s50-0-d5477.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Itz'ana Resort & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Placencia-Hotels-Itzana-Resort-Residences.h19718462.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Golden-Square.h15058768.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Park 64](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Narberth-Hotels-Heritage-Park-64.h49832613.Hotel-Information) > > [Shaka Caye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Little-Frenchman-Caye-Hotels-Royal-Palm-Island-Resort.h9704659.Hotel-Information) > > [Midas Belize](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Midas-Belize.h2391437.Hotel-Information) > > [Coco Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro-Hotels-Coco-Beach-Resort.h2135103.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queen-Elizabeth-Hospital-Birmingham-Hotels.0-l553248634855454696-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Golden Bay Hotel by Marine Parade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belize-City-Hotels-Golden-Bay-Belize.h46123458.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars > [Car hire in Williams](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Williams.d7638.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Mesagne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Mesagne.d6048941.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Brazil Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brazil.d23.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
