Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Cayo District

If you are looking for a spot in the jungle, great hosts, two awesome dogs and cat - Parrot's Nest is for you! Yes it's the jungle. Yes it's rustic. Yes, Theo made one of the best dinners we had on our whole trip. Marcus & Theo were great - friendly and helpful, they even found us a guide to float the river who was also going to drive us back to Belize City to catch the water taxi to our next destination. Talk about service! We enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at Calico Jacks. The staff was so kind and helpful with everything from food to activity recommendations. The room, restaurant, pool and grounds space were clean and the A/C works great after a day of hiking. The location is great for visiting San Ignacio, Xunantunich, Mountain Pine Ridge, and the small villages of San Antonio and Cristo Rey.

Marcela exhibited remarkable hospitality. Furthermore, she extends that warmth not only towards me as a host but also to other guests. Additionally, her friendliness, warm welcome, and readiness to assist in finding excursions and restaurants was truly exceptional. Moreover, the accommodations were beautiful, lush vegetation, a pool, comfortable beds and plenty of free drinks offered. Marcela’s place is truly an oasis that we will gladly return to.

Parrots best was a wonderful place to stay! Kind people, relaxed and beautiful atmosphere and great food! Our plans unexpectedly changed two day before we were set to arrive at parrots nest and Theo was accommodating and helpful and flexible. Highly recommend!

This was truly an oasis in the middle of the jungle. The staff was super friendly and would hang out with us. They were extremely accommodating and provided recommendations for places to go and things to see. We were in the area mainly for birdwatching, but we talked about other animals out in nature. We definitely want to come back again.

We had the best time. Remember, this is a hut, very basic. It was perfect for our camper family. Mike made sure we had everything and explained the fauna and flora and local activities. We saw spider monkeys and we could hear the howler monkeys. A big orange iguana peered at us from the tree at breakfast. Two agoutis carried their babies in the back of the property. A Jesus lizard fell into the water and ran across the surface to shore. Simply amazing. My teens had the courage to try the rope swing. This was just what I was looking for to get an authentic jungle experience. Wow!

Our time at Parrot’s Nest was a real highlight of our time in Belize. The place we rented was exactly as described, and very clean. It was closer to town and places to eat than expected, but was fairly quiet and felt quite secluded. Theo and Markus were wonderful hosts - welcoming, easy to chat with and gave great recommendations for food and activities. Our kids loved hanging out in the common area, playing games and eating the delicious breakfasts, but the best part was tubing down the river. Holly, the dog, guided us for our floats back to the lodge and just loved on our boys. Hearing and seeing the howler monkeys on our last morning just topped off a beautiful stay.

We had a great stay at the Yuma Lodge. The property is beautiful and peaceful, and the cabins are well thought out and very relaxing. Super comfortable beds! It’s just outside of town, but as we had a car it was super easy to get into San Ignacio while feeling like we were staying out in nature. Would gladly return!

Beautiful space and serene surroundings. I had a last minute reservation for a civil wedding with a few family members, the hosts was so accommodating and wanted to make sure things were perfect for my special day. The patio was more than enough for what we needed it for, super grateful that we were given options on a space to hold a short ceremony. I would come back and stay for a few days, such a peaceful space. Also loved the cows!!

The place was extremely idyllic and peaceful. The huts are modernly decorated and equipped with everything you need and are beautifully decorated. Communication was great, offering to drive us to the huts when there was a lot of mud, booking restaurants for us and helping with any questions. Clearly the start of a big expansion journey for them and would definitely recommend.

Lower Dover is really just amazing. I stayed in a private cabana right next to the jungle, with jungle trail access in my backyard, and I could go and wonder around anytime in the forest when I wanted to. I could even take one of their dogs with me, if I felt like it :) The food that is served at Lower Dover is just incredible, healthy, homemade, and they cater to every diet, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free. The hosts and staff are always on the property, extremely nice, will answer every question you have. I was worried about getting there, but that turned out to be no problem. You can even reach with public bus, and the hosts will pick you up on the bus stop for a 2 min drive to Lower Dover. There is a kitchen for the guests, that I didn't even use because their food was so good. Oh, and there are creeks and the Belize river surrounding the property, where you can take a dip. And as if all of that wouldn't be awesome enough, there is even a partly-excavated huge Maya site!
