This place is beautiful! The location can't be beat. It overlooks some beautiful falls and trails for bird watching and other wildlife. Food and drinks were fantastic and staff was very accommodating and friendly. The cabins are private and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It was raining quite a bit during the time we stayed but the road was well maintained and we had no problem making it to the resort.

We had a wonderful time…some of the most welcoming, kind, and accommodating people you will meet. Grounds are beautiful and perfectly maintained, rooms are stunning, and individual tours/guides are well worth it. There are definitely cheaper options available but having stayed elsewhere in Belize and taken other tours, I can honestly say the attention to detail and personalization you get from Gaia is well worth the added price. Highly recommend.

AC would have been nice but they have large room fans that help with the heat.

Gaia was beyond perfect, we loved every single minute there. The staff could not have been any more nice or helpful - they were SO accommodating and made our trip absolutely perfect. The resort was so peaceful and the waterfall area was amazing. The food was fantastic and we truly can't wait to go back.

The only thing to keep in mind when booking here is the fact that it's very remote. It can be expensive to get here from Belize City, the tours are pricier than if you went with a 3rd party, and your options for dining are limited since it's so remote. However, the tours are private and the guides are AMAZING so we didn't feel it was wasted money and we loved the food - just something for consideration for others.

The view and the staff are really what make Gaia exceptional. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay, we still enjoyed the waterfall seating area and scenery. The food is delicious and fresh from their garden. The location of the lodge is absolutely stunning with a view of the waterfalls, forest and valley.

The breakfast that was "included" was only a piece of toast and some fruit, so don't be fooled by the "full breakfast" mentioned on the booking.

perfect to relax and unwind. staff is exceptionally friendly and creates a familiar atmosphere at this small luxury hotel. we will miss the delicious food, impeccable rooms, swimming by the waterfall and spa! until next time!

it is in an eco reserve and so it is naturally remote - in case you are looking for a lot of action and sight seeing, there are some tours offered but overall it is a remote location for relaxing

Clean, well-appointed room; excellent staff and service; no detail overlooked. Absolutely loved hanging out down at the falls and the river—beautiful setting and great layout.

It’s off the beaten path (which is also what I liked about it) so it’s best if you have your own vehicle, otherwise you are limited to the tours and availability of the drivers on staff (though the staff goes out of their way to accommodate guests).

The incredible location above the waterfalls won't be forgotten. Falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall, jungle, and wind was as relaxing as one would hope. The eating area is fantastic and so is the food and drinks. The staff is amazing too, they remember your name from the beginning on.

We had an exceptional stay at Gaia and loved everything about this eco reserve. The facilities, staff and food are outstanding better than many 5 star hotels we have visited. The waterfall / lake and view are unique and beautiful.

it is a bit more pricey but well worth it
