I enjoyed my stay here. The food was delicious, the family kind and helpful, and the other people I met who were staying here added to my experience. The bathroom was dated, but functional. I was just looking for a comfortable, bug-less bed. I was a female traveling alone. I enjoyed the jungle tour and the delicious stewed chicken that... More

We dined here at the recommendation of our guide to Lamanai. We had the option of dining indoors or outside... if you are WITHOUT bug spray I would definitely recommend sitting indoors. There was a happy hour drink menu, but the restaurant was out of a lot of liquers so there really wasn't much of a selection. My pork that... More

If you travel to Orange Walk, you must have dinner and a drink here. The view of the river was breath taking. Lance Pelayo, the owner, came over to make sure that everything was to our liking. It definitely was. The food was delicious. Next time, we'll stay here too. Very quiet and peaceful.

We didn't stay here but did come to the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was great too!! The server was very concerned we avoid the mosquitoes by leaving the riverside seating area and come indoors. He was friendly and checked up on us reguarly.

I only stayed for one night as the room was a little above my budget at $80/ night. That being said I think this is excellent value for someone traveling on a slightly higher budget, or couples. Rooms were nice and tidy. Ac if you want it, tv, private bath (but my shower was prone to spray toward the electrical... More

Can't believe it. I wish I found this place earlier. I am bird watching from the bar right now. Rooms are just what you need for the place. Some ants, cold shower (heads up to the soft) but come on, it's a great deal, great staff, great bar, great birds. They really take care of you. I have stayed at... More

Great location, very affordable, and very comfortable. Right on the river with palapas right along the water to sit and eat or relax. WiFi provided which is nice when you are traveling. Breakfast was fantastic, very fresh, and they even went out special to get corn tortillas when we asked for them to accompany our breakfast. The rooms are simple... More

We had just arrived in Belize from Cancun Airport via the ADO to Chetumel and Chickenbus to Orange Walk and found with luck we found Lamani Riverside Retreat. And what a little treat it was. No frills or posh stuff, just down earth and a clean Cabanna (with A/C, TV and Bathroom & Shower). The food was good local food.... More

Robert and I enjoyed the Lamanai Riverside Retreat. Our rooms were wonderful, also had A/C for you A/C lovers. Food, and spirits were excellent. The location was perfect. Mr. P and his family have it going on. Saw lots of wildlife(manatee&morlet's crocidile), and enjoyed the boat ride to Lamanai ruins. We will be back. Good people...
