    We didn't realize there wasn't any air conditioning. We came in May when the temperature was between 31 to 39 celsius (88 to 102 degrees fahrenheit). It was a little uncomfortable for us.

    The area was very nice. I especially enjoyed the bird watching - the guides were very knowledgeable. The service was top notch!

    We would have appreciated a broader soft drinks menu including freshly blended juices mix (both fruits and vegetables) from the garden. Coffee is below average and tea is not that finest either.

    The setting, facilities and kitchen are amazing! The staff is super attentive and caring. We loved our stay.

    Everything was amazing from the beginning to the end. The staff are friendly and helpful. The lodge is detailed in every way making the stay the ultimate experience. This hotel is very special and is an absolute destination for couples, families, and even singles who want to enjoy. The food at all the restaurants is superb. I will definitely be visiting again. I want to visit every Coppola hotel.

    Our stay at Blancaneaux was one of, if not the, highlight of our trip. The remote location offering peace and quiet was perfect. The staff was exceptional. Some of the best service we've ever experienced. The staff was aware of iur dietary restrictions and were amazingly hwlpful at mealtimes. Speaking of food, everything we enjoyed was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the traditional Belizean meal we had one evening. The property was just splendid. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, kind, and quick to share stories, travel tips, and local history with us. We met some amazing people along the way and can't wait to go back someday!

    Not really a major problem, but the menu in the main restaurant could be more a bit diverse, we felt that the focus was too much on pizza and pasta.

    Amazing location.. amazing views.. amazing people! We loved everything about our stay! The staff were very helpful and supportive with advice on activities to be done; we rented bikes and did a tour to the waterfall. Would definitely recommend the hike, breakfast in the room (which is foc), a visit to the Guatemalan restaurant <3 and the hot pool!

    Nothing. Perhaps the dinner menu could be slitghly better but daily specials are usually excellent.

    Blancaneaux lodge is the perfect hideaway in the back country of Belize. The hotel is beautiful. We do recommend the villas overlooking the river. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. Perfect location for hiking visiting Tikal or ATM cave. This was our second stay and liked the place just as much as 10 years ago!

    The only negative would be the bugs. But you are in the rainforest, so bugs are expected. Make sure you pack plenty of bug spray and just know that you can't escape them as the entire resort is open-air. Also, this is not a resort to wear high-heels at as it's very hilly and you have many steps up and down throughout the resort. Bring your flat, comfortable sandals and enjoy the experience.

    This resort is spectacular - from the views, to the villas, to the landscape - it will take your breath away. We were overwhelmed with how much there was to see and do, and how lucky we were to be there in such a beautiful environment. Our 2-bedroom villa was clean, had that upscale Central American feel but also took advantage of the rainforest atmosphere. My kids loved the hammocks. We had a deck right outside our villa that overlooked the Privassion River with swimming areas (that you can go tubing down). We loved our excursions to the Rio Frio Cave and Caracol - which everyone should do immediately before it becomes a major tourist attraction. And the hike to Big Rock Waterfall was worth the challenge as you can swim right up the falls. Blancaneaux is a truly unique, gorgeous environment in the rainforest where so many one-of-a-kind adventures await you. The staff was superb and went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend this resort enough!

    The only downside were the mosquitoes which are to be expected in any jungle paradise. The property has bug spray located throughout should you need it but I would recommend bringing your own that is stronger.

    The location is incredible and the facilities are high quality. There were so many activities to choose from, some of which are complimentary, so I was never bored during my stay. The fresh water pool was also amazing and much more rejuvenating than a chlorinated pool that dries out your skin and hair. The property itself is something to explore and the Waterfall Spa is a great amenity that I would have utilized more if I had the time.

    This place is paradise! If you love nature, culture, relaxation, this place is for you. I loved the vegetation, having breakfast on our private balcony, going for a swim in the hot pool at night. The staff is also great; we were celebrating a birthday and they prepared a separate place just for us and we didn’t even requested it. I would recommend this place 100%

    Blancaneaux far exceeded my husband and my expectations. The grounds were absolutely spectacular. Extremely beautiful. The rooms are very quaint and perfect for a peaceful, no wifi and relaxing experience. The food was so delicious and fresh and their Garden Restaurant is a MUST! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Exactly what my husband and I needed for our first trip since the pandemic. The only thing to note is that most things are at least an hour away due to the lack of paved roads or construction. Trust me when I tell you that this should not be a deterring factor from staying here. You will be so happy you stayed here and will forget that things are far!

    There was nothing I didn’t like. I might however suggest a drying rack for wet clothes.

    5 star service. Staff are well trained and conduct themselves like they are happy to be here, proud workers. We ate all meals at 2 different on site restaurants & they were deliciously different, Guatemalan & Italian. The management & front staff are responsive and approachable. This was a very special anniversary & they made exceptional efforts to make it truly memorable. The rooms echo the setting, the bedding is comfortable. I will miss the sounds & sights of birds & river. The most relaxing yet diverse & active offerings.
