Overall Ratings & Reviews River Bend Resort Belize

Nice quiet place

Enjoyed our stay.

Kevin was so welcoming from the moment you arrived. He took time to walk us to our room and show us each bit of it. He was moving all day between getting guests to and from the dock, to showing guests to their rooms, to helping guests get food or shuttles. He did it all with a smile too! The rooms are dated, but spacious and comfortable. We really liked having a kitchen in ours so we could stop at Sky Markets, nearby, and cook our meals. The showers are heated which is a treat after 7 island days. The porches are all equipped with hammocks which is nice to take in the evening or morning breeze. They also let you use their fishing pools to fish off the dock in the old Belize river! Breakfast was nice too.

Property needs upgrading. The rooms are old and rundown. Bedding is not comfortable, inadequate water and shower doesn’t work well. On the positive side, the staff are very attentive and customer focused.

Mostly speculated, nice boat ride, welcoming and awesome hosts, fishing (caught 1) and once was big enough to break my hook. Cool pool table. Great cod beers.

Too expensive for current shape of it. Pontoon boat to & from property.

We found this to be a unique place in need of a bit of a tuneup. First and foremost, the on site staff of Kevin and Genelle are wonderful and kind. There is a nice dock for enjoying a beer. Our room had a country feel, which we hoped to have. Food was a bit challenging to get delivered but we made due. Kevin was prompt in getting us out on time to catch our flight. Avoid conversation with the onsite owner - I’ll just leave it at that. Anyway, it’s a fun place but go with tempered expectations.

We stayed at this property after arrival and before departure from Belize. It is less than 2 miles from the airport. The facility is currently for sale. One room had a very noisy air conditioner. The other room was very suitable. Staff was very friendly.

The convenience of this property is its closeness to the airport for sure, but it’s also just a beautiful, relaxing, serene little bungalow heaven. The staff were all so incredibly helpful and it was easy to arrange shuttles wherever we needed to go. There’s a bunch of tours based in Ladyville so getting to the ruins and stuff was also super easy! They’ll pick you up from the hotel! Drinks and snacks were on site for purchase and breakfast was included every morning. I will say it is a riverfront tropical place so prepare for a little bit of mosquito/ant action but they’ve screened the bungalows pretty well to help with it. I would totally recommend this place for anyone planning to fly out the next day or two.

The property is funky and needs a great deal of work. The manager is extremely helpful and always available. The area is in a park like setting next to the river.

Super convenient for the airport and nice and relaxed. It is very close to the airport, so noise of flights (mostly small planes) during the day. Staff were friendly and helpful

River Bend Resort was perfect! Close and convenient to the airport yet in a beautiful jungle setting. My cabana was spacious and comfortable. Kevin was super helpful explaining things about the resort, arranging taxi rides, and even getting dinner delivered for me. I’ll definitely return.

The only staff person we met was very pleasant and helpful in the afternoon/evening. In the morning we waited 30 minutes for our schedled transport. Breakfast was limited. The cabana was dated and run down. I would not recommend except for th low price.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The accommodations were basic but very clean and functional. Would definitely recommend to those coming and going from Belize airport!

Kevin, the manager was very hard working , positive and welcoming to this ramshackle property. 173 cdn was definitely very overpriced!

Everything broken No gas in stove Impossible to prepare any kind of meal Paid $120 US a night which was ridiculous No knives to prep food, no gas to cook food, etc No water pressure in shower Very little hot water Barely any drinking water The place is for sale and I can see why. Beautiful grounds and great hosts but don’t stay here.

Janelle and Kevin are so nice and very attentive to making sure you are well taken care of. They pick you up by boat and bring you to the property. It’s your own little oasis along the river. Great property and even better people managing it.

Our stay at the River Bend Resort was great. Kevin was great! He was extremely friendly and informative. Whatever we needed he was there with it! The grounds are very cute and it is very close to the airport! We didn't realize that we would have to park across the river and then have a boat come pick us up, but it all worked out and our car was totally safe where we left it! We would book the River Bend again.

We chose this place due to the location by the airport. It was just what we needed after traveling Belize and Guatemala. A funky resort with cabins right on the Belize River. Fell asleep listening to the wildlife. Kevin and staff were wonderful.

It is very quiet and close to the airport. Ideal for our overnight stay before we headed out to start our vacation to Belize.
