This was a wonderful stay in that the location was beautiful, the room was very nice, clean and comfortable, and it was amazing to be able to be able to walk right out the door to a variety of hiking trails. We were very happy with everything until we went to check out and were told that the night hike we had verbally been told by a staff member was $40.00 USD was actually $106.00 USD. While I'm not exactly sure what happened as far as the miscommunication, I do know that the two staff members we spoke to regarding our shock were not at all helpful except to say we should have known what the real price was, and that is the amount they charge. I do take some responsibility for not asking multiple times and/or multiple people what the price was before attending the very underwhelming hike, but I don't feel that as a guest we should need to triple check everything we are told by the staff. If they had made any effort whatsoever to help make us feel like they understood that a miscommunication happened, we would have left with a positive impression. Instead our feeling upon leaving a five night stay was of upset and confusion.

The resort is located with the Bacawina rainforest
There are plenty of worthwhile tours or you can hike on your own. The trails are maintained by National park rangers
It is a safe place- there was no evident crime or any immediate danger from the wildlife
Definitely bring bug spray
The suite at the resort was spacious and clean, however, there is no air conditioning and it tends to be very hot and humid and not much of a breeze
The food and cocktail menu at the restaurant is lumited but the food and drinks were good
The staff is phenomenal in service, friendliness and knowledge
The tour guides are A

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was beautiful. Our room was clean and really nice with a screen porch that we sat on every morning to listen to the birds. Coming from Colorado we were really hot since there’s no air conditioning but it is a rainforest so we dealt with it, had 2 floor fans and a ceiling fan. Hiking was great, trails are well marked. We did the zip line which was amazing flying at or above the canopy. I have a fear of heights but they make you feel very safe. All staff were friendly and the food in the restaurant was really good. No complaints here!

The staff was fantastic. Incredible. Friendly and responsible. Wildlife everywhere. Activities were great. Take some care if coming during early spring as the heat can be tough. (No AC).
Steven at the bar, Vanessa at the front desk and Roberto at the adventure center really stood out.
Love d it

Hotel room was really small for the price. Food was fantastic and the chef was super accommodating for my food allergies. Staff provided us late checkout so we could do our excursion and not have to worry about our belongings.

I liked that the property blend in with its natural surrounding.

The staff were super friendly and booking a rappel excursion once we checked in was easy. We had a great stay, just a little warm since there’s no AC, but gave us a taste of living in the jungle.

A very beautiful property and grounds to explore nature. The lodge is nestled in the rainforest.
The rooms do not have air-conditioning so be forewarned sleeping can be warm!

We had a wonderful time at Bocawina. Not having an AC was a bit of an adjustment, but we did okay without.
You cannot beat the location, activities and staff at Bocawina. They are wonderful.

Being in a jungle location, the place had beautiful surroundings. Our amply-sized room had all the necessary amenities (large shower, space for 5, coffee, etc.). The on-site restaurant had good food and the staff was excellent throughout the property. Our highlight was the hike to the several waterfalls and cooling off there. Loved it.
5.0
Absolutely a great experience. Staff was awesome. Great food. Fun “hut” experience. Bird walk in the morning was right there on site & lots of species seen. Alex, Kayla, and Chelsea were so pleasant, fun, and helpful. Thank you all! Denver even picked us up from airport!

Bocawina is beauty and has the most welcoming and charming staff. They help to truly make anyone feel comfortable and make sure all needs are taken care of. Stay at least one night here and enjoy living in the rainforest

Felt completely at home in the middle of the jungle at Bocawina. All the staff are friendly and eager to make your vacation adventures great. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Everything we expected for a resort in the middle of the national park. We did our homework on the resort and found it to be what we wanted including pricing. Food and service were great.

Pros: The property is beautiful (in the middle of the national park), there are lots of activities, and the food at the lodge is quite tasty. Cons: no a/c in the rooms and the activities were QUITE expensive--$50/person for a hike! So while it was a nice place, it seemed overpriced compared to other ecolodges in Belize. Also the main trail in the park was very poorly maintained (park service responsibility) so just beware and pack long sleeves and sturdy shoes or you will get cut up quite a bit.

The resort was very accommodating, the restaurant is delicious, and the environment of being in the rainforest is truly amazing! The rooms themselves are fine but nothing special, but you really don’t need to spend much time in them. There is a ton of outdoor activities here and easy to arrange. I would stay here again.

We hade a amazing time. Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant serves great food. Beautiful
nature and well marked hiking trails well worth a visit.

Our Bocawina resort stay was excellent. It got off to a rough start just finding the place because of the lack of signs once on the jungle road. This is probably only an issue if you are driving yourself.
The resort is beautiful with manicured gardens and traditional thatch roofs. There are ziplines that pass through the resort and further into the jungle so you can watch the adventure seekers zip past! In the mornings we watched the humming birds (I saw at least 4 species) visit the flowers and listened to the singing birds...spectacular!
The room was comfortable. We were in a standard room. Housekeeping does a great job. The bathroom is a bit dated but has everything you need. Note: there is no air con, but it was not an issue for us. There were adequate fans to cool us down.
Probably the best part was the incredible hiking you can do so close to the resort. We hiked the Bocawina trail for about an hour until we got to a waterfall pool and took a swim! We saw ocelot footprints and a variety of jungle birds. Mosquitoes are plentiful (the resort is in the jungle) so anytime you leave the room I recommend using bug spray.
We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. The resort grows most of their fruit and vegetables and the taste was excellent! We had the fry jack breakfast and it was more than enough to share. For dinner we had the snapper fillets, which were delicious.

It was a beautiful place nested in the Mayflower Jungle and the cabanas and rooms matched the environment perfectly. People and staff were very hospitable especially Caralee and Mr. P. The people at Wild Fig were so kind and food was great. The excursions were well organized and adventure staff were fun. Only thing I would suggest is to have more Belizean type food.

Amazing place.

Fabulous place! Truly a bucket-list experience! The resort is beautiful; immaculately manicured grounds with beautiful native plants. Room was very nice, this is definitely a high-class place for Belize. The restaurant had delicious food! Service was exceptional, Caralee and Darwin at the front desk and Reina and Ragner in the restaurant were all extremely friendly and accomodating.
The park that surrounds the resort is the reason you come obviously. What a treasure Bocawina is! Gorgeous, healthy rainforest; amazing waterfalls, endless flora and fauna. We saw a crocodile, a coatimundi and a pack of pecaries all within a couple kilometers from the hotel. The trails are well cleared and marked, easy access to the rainforest is great! Bring your DEET!

Beautiful property with friendly, helpful staff! However, we stayed 3 nights which was too long - there is nothing to do in the evenings, and the restaurant is extremely expensive (although very delicious food). Highly recommend bringing your own food and drinks to save money, as we were shocked the amount we spent for a few meals while there with no other options for 3 full days - whether just your lunches or snacks etc. the hikes were great, but we wished we had stayed two nights (or even just one) as two days of hiking were enough even with zip lining. Overall, beautiful spot with excellent hiking so delivered for what we wanted, just be prepared it is isolated so not to stay too long. Had we stayed one night only with two full days, the expensive food and quiet night would of been fine in a small dose and I would have giving 5/5 review!

The location of the resort inside the park is really great! The grounds are well maintained and the lush jungle vegetation and huge trees are so beautiful! Great hikes to waterfalls starting right there. Birdwatching right from your room porch. What wasn't so great is how basic the basic rooms are... They feel quite dated and aren't too inviting. But they served our purpose of being inside the park. The resort's restaurant served good food but was overpriced for Belize ($20 US main dish plus taxes).

I really enjoyed staying here, because of its location right in the middle of the rainforest. My family and I came to Hopkins to do hiking, ziplining, swimming and such, and had no idea the resort is where all those activities are available! It was a great experience, we definitely recommend staying here.
