What stood out most was how naturally the property fits into its surroundings. The pool area feels open and relaxed, surrounded by palms and jungle. We spent time swimming, having drinks by the pool, and settling into the quiet. The food and cocktails were consistently strong, and even the local wildlife, including an iguana wandering through, added to the experience. The staff were welcoming and attentive without hovering, which made the stay feel easy and comfortable. The morning river tour with Edmund was a highlight. We saw howler monkeys, crocodiles, and a wide range of birds, but what made it exceptional was the depth of history he shared about Burrell Boom. Hearing it from someone who grew up there, and even seeing a copy of his family’s land title from the 1800s, added a level of authenticity you cannot manufacture.

The sidewalls of the king mattress in riverfront room T4 were completely collapsed on both sides, resulting in a very disconcerting feeling that we would roll off! We managed to shove bath robes under each side to reduce the issue. Since a comfortable bed is expected when paying a premium rate, 3 stars is all we can give. Otherwise, the resort had congenial staff, a decent restaurant, and a quiet, peaceful riverfront location.

Black Orchid Resort is a lovely, peaceful property tucked away in a beautiful natural setting. One of the standout highlights is the small family of howler monkeys living right on the property—hearing and seeing them is a special, memorable bonus and really adds to the experience. That said, there are some areas that could use attention. The bed was not very comfortable and made noticeable noise with movement. The headboard is also a bit of a safety concern; the exposed logs are positioned in a way that makes it easy to hit your head. The restaurant menu was unfortunately a major point of frustration. Some items are described as including vegetables and “chef-selected rice or potatoes,” yet when the dish arrived without these components, we were told it was simply a typo on the menu. If the menu isn’t going to be corrected, servers should clearly explain this at the time of ordering. Similarly, the pancakes are listed as chocolate but were served as plain pancakes, and when asked about it, the concern was dismissed with the insistence that what was served was correct—despite the menu description. There were also multiple instances where extra ingredients, such as onions, were added to dishes without being mentioned beforehand. The location is very secluded, which is both a plus and a minus. It’s perfect if you’re looking to disconnect, but be prepared for transportation costs. On a positive note, the gentleman at the front desk is an absolute doll and deserves a raise.

What a beautiful resort! Kaleb was our host checking in. Very professional and friendly. There was a small issue with our room, but it was quickly rectified beyond our expectations. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous with giant iguanas running around. We dined at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We had a chance to interact with the owner Beverly and she was wonderful and gracious. Upon checking out, I interacted with Dryane, again, very professional and friendly. I chose this location as it was close to both Altun Ha and the Baboon sanctuary, which both come highly recommended from me. Black Orchid is a wonderful place to stay. I hope to return someday.

Nice spacious room, excellent staff that helped us with zip line/atv trip in the jungle (transportation and booking excursion) and transportation to and from Belize and water taxi to San Pedro was also prearranged and seamless with reliable companies. Quiet resort perfect to decompress. Everyone friendly including guests. The right vibe to start the Belize trip.

This hotel was exactly what we needed for our first night in Belize. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and very friendly staff all around. We used this hotel as a first night launchpad since we arrived later in the day and didn't want to drive the two hours in the dark to San Ignacio. Much nicer grounds and pool than we expected and we were very happy with our dinner (fish and shrimp dishes) and great breakfast. This is a perfect place to stay on the front or back end of a trip to be close to the airport, or even to stay for a couple of days for nearby excursions!
