This extraordinarily beautiful hotel is one of the most luxurious properties in Belize. We stayed in the Creekside rooms which are individual units next to running water, surrounded by lush flora and fauna, with the lovely and constant melody of birds. The service by staff is excellent, the restaurant is stunning, and each dish fresh, unique, inventive and of the highest quality. There are interesting and beautiful jungle trails on property, as well as a gorgeous sister property with a riverside restaurant to visit and enjoy. Sleeping Giant is one of a kind and worth the effort for visitors to travel inland. We chose to spend our three nights on property to fully enjoy the amenities and not venture out on excursions. Our time on property was deeply relaxing and restorative. Thank you Sleeping Giant team for our wonderful experience with you, we take home the loveliest of memories.

Everything was simply amazing about this place! The customer service, the beautiful grounds, the gorgeous room - EVERYTHING was perfect. Don't hesitate to stay here. We had a River View room and it was perfect - high ceilings, big bathroom, and huge patio with four comfy chairs and a hammock. We'd hang outside to listen to the wildlife. We spent time exploring the property, which was fun. We also did a morning sunrise breakfast on the cliff top and that was a wonderful experience. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so special.

This is perhaps or ninth stay at this property. We had not been to Belize since 2022, and I can say that the quality of service and the property is even better than before - and before it was fantastic. Dory assisted with our room selection and checked on us our entire trip. She was accommodating and patient with us! Since 2022, there is a whole new resort on the property - the Banks - which comes with a new restaurant - Humo. While we preferred the food at the Grove and Don Totino's, the atmosphere at Humo is insanely beautiful. Indeed, the entire property is lovely with a great hike to a gazebo which gives you a lovely view of the mountains and the "Sleeping Giant." There are other hikes on property and I understand they will be offering yoga in the future. If you do not have a car, there are great trips that you can take, including a Ceremonial Cave (which I have done in the past and it was quite cool) tour, expeditions to Mayan ruins, cave tubing or kayaking, and cooking classes. There are different room types so check into what you most prefer. We have to been to most and like all but one that is too near the road and road noise by reception. It is a slice of paradise in the middle of the jungle that I cannot recommend enough!

The grounds of this resort are absolutely incredible, a tropical paradise if ever there was one. The room was huge and lovely. The restaurant is OK, quite overpriced, and the food options are really minimal outside of that restaurant (even if you have a car: closest restaurants are in Belmopan, half hour away). But everything about this place, minus the food selection, is an absolute dream. Loved the jungle walks, the riverside views, the free bikes, the groves and trails … and the gardens of the hotel. Would come back.

The Sleeping Giant is a real gem and in itself a reason to head to Belize and spend a week at this beautiful resort south of Belmopan. The grounds and the interior design of the cottages and the house we rented are the best I’ve enjoyed in many years of travel and the staff is A plus. The restaurant with its open air and indoor dining is really good and there is not an amenity that is overlooked in this perfect place! Thanks to all at the ‘Sleeping Giant’!

We have visited Sleeping Giant a number of times. Every visit has been exceptional! The staff are all very helpful, courteous, welcoming and professional. The property continues to evolve, with many on site opportunities, as eell as off site tours. The rooms are spotless and well appointed, and the food is lovely. We highly recommend the property!

My boyfriend and I spent a couple nights at this property and from arrival to check out the staff and the service they provided was beyond excellent. We got a room upgrade as our room was located near the main road of the property, something they noticed and offered to us because their attention to detail is immaculate. We were staying for a couple nights and celebrating our anniversary and they did not disappoint. We got the pleasure of experiencing the Mountain View suites, and if you are up for a small hike it’s definitely a must-have experience. Sleeping Giant Rainforest Hotel exceeded my own expectations. If you are looking for a place to stay within the jungle of Belize this is the place to go.

This resort was absolute breathtaking and peaceful. This was our first stay (wife and I) and it was very relaxing. The resort offers a variety of nature experiences but we spent time admiring the beautiful scenery, pool and jacuzzi around the resort. Our room was a king with a river view. Great A/C and Our clean room and bathroom was spacious with an outside bathtub and shower. Also we spent time on our a spacious balcony. We enjoyed our dining experience; as well as the room service for our delicious meals. There was no television because it’s about getting back to nature which was much needed. All the staff we encountered were professional and kind; eager to assist you. Definitely will visit again! Thank you!!!!
