If your looking for a luxury resort, look somewhere else. But if your looking for a really nice place to start your birding trips from, this is it. We stayed early April 2013 and had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect-cool at night, not too hot in the day-.We didn't have an air conditioned room, and didn't need it,... More

This was a recent letter I wrote to the Tut family after our wonderful stay with them last month!: Hello! My husband and I definitely enjoyed our stay at Crystal Paradise! The accommodations and grounds were beautiful! Waking up and falling asleep to the many sounds of the jungle was amazing. Everyone was very nice and helpful to us as... More

We just finished a three day stay at Crystal Paradise Resort. Took my mother to Belize for her 70th Birthday for a birding trip. Neither myself or my siblings are into birding but we enjoyed every minute of it and our guide Eric made all of us so excited about every bird sighting. He was so knowlegable and also fun... More

Service was very friendly and efficient. I very much enjoyed my stay. Jeruni helped us with an agenda and tour scheduling. Tours were excellent and as described on the resort website, including the helpful hints for what to wear and bring that day. Patrick was excellent for the ATM cave for his enthusiasm and knowledge. Eric was great for our... More

This is a repeat visit to Crystal Paradise Resort. Like last year, we stayed for 4 nights and booked three birding trips (2 full-day and 1 half-day birding trips) through Paradise Expeditions – Birding in Belize services. We requested 3 air-conditioned rooms: #18, #14 and #11. All three rooms have very good ACs and sufficient amenities/space to accommodate our needs.... More

Stayed at Crystal Palace for one night in April while visiting Belize and Tikal. The cabanas are darling, and very clean. Set in a birders paradise, it's conveniently located just a drive from Barton Creek Cave and a perfect spot to just sit and watch the birds, walk the grounds and look at the flowers or relax in a hammock....

I had a great time staying at Crystal Paradise. The staff treat you like family all the way down to the home style meals. The guides are all wonderful and very knowledgeable about all that they show you. I went to the ATM cave, the "Butts up" cave tubing, big rock falls, Xunantunich, Tikal in Guatemala, and saw birds every... More

The facilities and grounds are AMAZING. Thousands of flowers and birds and clean/well managed facilities. However I was traveling alone, and I would not recommend this place for a solo traveler. I went on a bunch of tours, which CR did arrange for me, but I had to pay extra, and it was rather lonely (although the guides from CR... More

Our stay at Crystal Paradise Resort was spectacular. The Tut family's warmth and hospitality provide guests with a truly Belizean experience. The food was fantastic (and we have pretty high standards). The rooms have everything you need on your travels. The property is breathtaking and the wildlife sightings amazing. We stayed with out two young sons who had the time... More
