It would be difficult for me to overstate the enthusiasm I have for Pook's Hill Lodge, and more so, the team that runs it. I booked the same day I arrived in Belize on a last minute adventure, it was my great fortune that there was a room available. My goal was to find solitude in adventure (a tall order)... More

It's hard to say anything more about Pook's Hill that hasn't already been said, but the bottom line is that you should just stop reading this and send an email to Cat and Dave to book your trip! We had a fabulous time here in May with the ATM package. I especially loved: cocktail hour in the open air, hurricane... More

My children and I stayed at Pook's Hill Lodge and had a great time. Thanks to Cat and David for their amazing hospitality. The goal of the trip was adventure and we went cave tubing, zip lining, black hole drop repelling and the ATM Cave. All of these trips were arranged by Pook's Hill and thanks to Isidoro and Hector...

I am so glad I planned my Belize trip through Pooks Hill! Everything was perfect from the email exchange to the pick up to the day we left. Cat was great about responding to all of my emails in a timely manner, answering all of my questions as well as helping me plan my excursions. I did the Mayan Belize... More

My friend and I stayed at Pook's Hill for a week during our Belize trip at the end of May and it was such a unique and wonderful experience. The "lodge in the jungle" is located just about 2 hours from Belize City, pass villages and fields with animals grazing on open land. We arrived on a weekday and Isadoro... More

If you are looking for a base camp for several days in the interior of Belize, this is the place. The emphasis is on service, quality excursions with top guides and delicious meals with fresh, organic ingredients. My traveling friend and I were there for a week birding, exploring the amazing Mayan ruins at Tikal and Xunantunich, the Macal River... More

not really worth the price. The location of Pook's is really neat, as it is nestled in amongst the jungle with the great sounds of the birds. If you are driving in, the road is rough in spots and the final entrance onto the property is steep and bumpy. We had a SUV and were fine. We stayed in the... More

In our three weeks moving around Belize, this was our favourite place. The Lodge is in a fabulous setting, with the cabanas nicely spaced around the excavated Mayan ruins and the bar and dining area looking out across the jungle. The rooms are large, airy and comfortable, with big bathrooms and hot water from late afternoon onwards. Food was fantastic,... More

My husband and I took our second Adventure-Life holiday this past week, and were totally impressed with their choice of Jungle Rainforest Lodge in Belize. Pook's Hill is a perfect get-away with the most welcome and accommodating hosts, good food, charming cabins, and wildlife setting. Going to sleep under starry skies, and being awakened by the birdsong and howler monkeys,... More

We stayed at Pooks in March 2013 and had a great stay. The setting is incredible, right in the heart of the forest, and there is an endless array of bird life and animals to see here. It also happens to be really close to the ATM caves, which are a must see, and our guide (Hector) was fantastic. The... More
