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.

The staff was incredible, best service we had in our time in Belize. From the wait staff to the drivers and guides, top notch! Rooms were nice and very large. And the grounds we're gorgeous with many iguanas feeding and sunbathing during the day.

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.

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.
