This is a delayed post, but I just started on TA. My wife and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon last October. Everything couldn't have been more perfect. For anyone who shys away from places like this in the "rainy season", try and reconsider. It definitely rains every day. But it is only for 30 minutes to an... more

We stayed here for 3 nights as beginning of our honeymoon. After a road+river trip that takes about 2 hours we arrived at the friendly greetings of the hospitality staff and a choice of fruit punch with or without local rum. The thatched roof cabanas were fantastic, and there was great food made to order. Everyone was very helpful and... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lamanai. The lodge is small, with excellent home cooking and great staff. The team worked hard to ensure we had plenty of activities and looked after us exceptionally well. We would highly recommend a stay here. It's not meant to be 5 star luxury, it's an eco lodge with great service, lovely people and... more

Six of us(3 generations including 9 and 13 year olds) spent 4 of our recent 12 nights in Belize at Lamanai. My husband and I had visited several years ago with a birding group and I wanted my family to enjoy this unique place too. Contrary to recent reviews, the food and service were fine and the staff was eager... more

Incredible location along one mile wide lagoon. We had the lagoon front room for 4 nights. Enjoyed regular trips and special trips. Liked the breakfast along the river. Incredible sights of fishes and birds including 5 foot tall Mother and Daddy Jabiru Stork with their 2 young babies on the nest. Ruins tour was great. Captured highlights on video. Liked... more

Our family (kids 7 & 10) just returned from a wonderful and relaxing 4 day stay (combined with a 4 day trip to Placencia). I was a little concerned about the food based on other reviews, but the food was very good. Everyone on the staff was excellent, friendly and went out of their way to show us a wonderful... more

I recently returned from a stay at Lamanai Lodge with my wife and 9 YO son. On our second night both my son and I became ill, serious GI disturbance, constant vomitting and diarrhea for 24 hours straight in my case. Our son's doctor had sent us with antibiotics, we got them in him fast and his condition did not... more

Like all, we made our reservations through Ellen and she explained to me that she and her husband built the place. I think her son-in-law runs it now. The pick-up at the airport was great as was the trip up the New River. The room was very nice and comfortable. It had a ceiling fan. I am very heat intolerant... more

Lamanai Outpost is an awesome experience for anyone wanting to get far away and into the jungle, anyone interested in Maya ruins, birding, conservation, etc. We went mostly for the nature walks and birding, and were lucky to be shown around by Carlos and George. Carlos is a superlative ornithologist, able to identify all species by sound alone and if... more
