I woke up with my abdomen and back covered in bug bites that came from my one night stay. Housekeeping unlocked and opened my door while I was changing at 10:00 the morning of my check out. I had to yell that I was still in the room so they would leave. That made me feel extremely unsafe and when I made a comment about to th front desk they had nothing to say about it. I’d like a refund.

This was the perfect place to stay on our first night in Belize. It is only a short drive and pick up from the airport is offered. The location is quiet and right on the river. The rooms are clean and the staff are friendly. The food is really good. We took a morning boat ride with Edmund and saw 30 bird species. Highly recommend this location.

Clean, secure, comfortable. Grounds are beautiful. We saw monkeys in the tree outside our room. Right on the river and there are canoes. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, both were quite good. Property is not in a town, not really a walkable area.

Close to airport with a nice pool overlooking the Belize River. Staff were friendly but inattentive. Facilities could use an upgrade. Grounds around the edges of the property were rough. No assist with bags up the steep stairs and airport pickup was an hour delayed.

The Black Orchid is a beautiful property. The staff was amazing and the grounds stunning. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night, but we enjoyed the pool, grounds, and hearing the howler monkeys was an unexpected treat.

Belize City Resort

Very nice place to stay to experience the local jungle related attractions near City. Very convenientl location to stay the last two or three nights before leaving because if it’s very close proximity to the airport and airport shuttle. The food was excellent. Had a very nice pool and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

We had a great stay at the Black Orchid. The staff was wonderful and the food at the restaurant was so good! It’s an older property but was clean and well kept. The only complaint is the bathrooms are old and not updated so feeling grungy.
