This is a very well run lodge with a peaceful setting. You stay in your own separate private villa and can walk right out the door into the jungle. Rooms are serene, although you will want ear plugs because of the howler monkeys. Also, the villas have very dim lighting, so bring a flashlight. Bathrooms are very modern and clean,... More

We loved every moment of our time with the considerate, competent and friendly staff. Everyone from the waiters to the naturalists were wonderful. We are still in contact with several other guests who we met there - what a treat! I'm sure that we will return one day as it was one of the most lovely places to spend time... More

We were looking for a quiet stay in the jungle to bird watch and to hike in the jungle. Chan Chich was everything you would ever want in a jungle stay. The accommodations were deluxe, the lodge beautiful, the guides were excellent, food great, friendly staff and the birding was amazing. We hiked and biked and loved every minute. I... More

We stayed her just for one night. Elder & his staff made us feel very special & looked after us extremely well. We were the last guests of the season as they are closing for the month of September. The drive to the lodge from Orange Walk Town took about 3 hours, mainly on well maintained dirt roads. As we... More

We loved our time at Chan Chich. It was incredible. The service was impeccable, from the time we got off of the plane till the moment we got back on the plane. The guides there are incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna, and (of course) Belizean culture. We chose a package that included guided hikes and drives and were... More

All you can want from a remote jungle lodge with excellent customer service. The staff are totally lovely, serving 3 course meals and fresh juices all day long. The guides are knowledgeable and passionate about the area - some of them having built the place decades ago. Chan chich is luxurious, discreet, private, relaxing and surrounded by amazing monkeys. It... More

After having driven four hours on gravel roads with three small children, we could only think, "This place had better be good!" Not only was it good, it was easily the best one or two vacation experiences we have had. The setting is utterly unique -- alone in hundreds of square miles of jungle, amidst semi-excavated, extensive Mayan ruins. The... More

We had a wonderful stay here and will definitely be back. My husband and I brought our 1 1/2 yo daughter and flew in, which I recommend. We stayed in the cabana for the first two nights then were upgraded to the Villa (I think they felt sorry for us because we got food poisoning in Belize City). Next time... More

This was a return trip for us and we never return. Chan Chich is the exception. Relaxing, fantastic birding, trails, photo-ops, guides, staff, and accomodations. I want my own cabana! Last year we stayed during February; this year in March. Both years were excellent. The hurricane seemed to have affected the hummingbird numbers as we saw less this year than... More
