We have nothing but good things to say about Gaia. This place was incredible! My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there and the staff did everything possible to make sure it went great. Every single person there went above and beyond. Incredibly genuine. I can't recommend this place enough! Special shout out to Freddie (I hope I spelled his name right). Super attentive. Made sure we had an awesome dinner every night.

Gaia was INCREDIBLE. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are beautiful, the scenery is stunning, and yet the best part is the fantastic service. We felt like friends with Freddy and Javier by the time we left. Greg was also a wonderful tour guide. And Colby helped us decide on and book adventures. They all made us feel right at home! un fact, they didn’t let us check in until we’d had a welcome drink and sat down for a lovely candlelit dinner. And speaking of the restaurant - the food and drinks on the property are really great which is good because unless you have 4WD you’re unlikely to be going elsewhere to eat. Expect to pay American prices for food and drinks but it’s worth it as almost all (if not all) the food is grown right there on the property - everything’s incredibly fresh and delicious. My favorite part was lounging down by the waterfall or sitting on our balcony overlooking it, listening to the sounds of the jungle.

Gaia is a very beautiful place. The property is so serene and was very grounding. The nature and wildlife is amazing and they do an excellent job to keep guests comfortable even though you are nearly in the rainforest. The staff and service were top notch and staff made sure we were comfortable and felt special. Definitely reccomend

We spent three days at Gaia, a beautiful, small lodge nestled in the hills above San Ignacio. The room was beautiful and looked out over the waterfalls, the sounds of which lulled us to sleep. Dinner and drinks in the main lodge were excellent. We also went on an Intro to Birding tour in the morning, saw toucans and other birds and went on the tour of the garden which supplies fruits and veg to Gaia and to its sister resort in San Pedro. You can hike along the nature paths and walk down to the waterfall and chill out there (and take the funicular back up!). I was a bit worried that we were too far out of San Ignacio for first time visitors who were going to be out and about doing things like the ATM cave tour and visiting ruins, but the road is now almost entirely paved (only the last 10 mins are off road, and that section is graded). Gaia is better suited to those who want a few days in a beautiful luxury setting away from it all. But with our own rental car, we had the best of both worlds and left feeling refreshed by the greenery and water, the beauty of Gaia, and uniformly fantastic people who work there.

We love the individual “Casita” arrangement - and so many neat locations around the property, yet, everything is so convenient! The staff is unmatched with their friendliness, willingness to educate and inform us/any to the area, the culture, the country and their experiences. There was not one employee we encountered or had interaction with that was not first class! We will return and be sure to recommend to others, friends and family!

All we can say is WOW — Gaia Riverlodge left a wonderful impression. Truly magical, and by that I mean the hotel itself as well as the professional and courteous team. From Nigel and Kobe at reception, Freddy and team at the restaurant, to Elias on the grounds, all went worked to ensure our stay was a delight. Including the property’s mascot, Coco, who expertly escorted us through the nature path! Highly recommended!

Even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Was in another lodge in 2019 and this place is awesome. Only issue is that tours aren’t actually as advertise. Ours had beer included, but we had to pay them. Staff is amazing, our Guide Rick was very knowledgeable and friendly. We even had our private guide(Koko the resort dog) bring us to Big Rock falls( a must see if you can). I would recommend to anyone thinking of visiting this part of the country.

The lodge was really nice with lots of atmosphere and lush gardens. The best was a view of waterfalls from our cabana and you could hear them too. Very soothing. Also, could take a small funicular down to beach area where you could swim amongst the waterfalls. The lodge would even bring you lunch and drinks. The staff and tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The food was excellent too! Highly recommend! Very satisfied!

This is an amazing breathtaking property. The views, vibe, & accommodations beautiful, & the entire staff wonderful. Private, secluded, beauty all around. Nature trails, exploring. Coco the dog! A surprise magick show by one of the team. (Vegas needs to watch out for Chris!) It took me this long to write the review, because im still mourning leaving. Literally broke my heart to go. The restaurant lovely, food great. We barely left premises, didn't want to. The jungle felt like home, like paradise. The Government tourism board needs to focus on these secluded jungle properties, not just the beach area! Unlimited potential for nature lovers seeking privacy. And we are hospitality veterans, working in hotels 30 years. Very critical eye! The owner and his son chose a great property & location, & their vision translated and was magical for us. Absolute magic, & we are so grateful. To the staff as well, each one. We will be back, hopefully sooner than later. Thank you Belize, thank you Gaia. Thank you Expedia for making it more affordable for us hospitality veterans. Was a dream come true.

What really shines at this property is the staff. They are friendly, welcoming and go the extra mile to please. The setting on the river is beautiful and relaxing. It’s a very convivial atmosphere, with a nightly bonfire for guests to gather and chat.
