Dream Valley Belize

Super friendly staff, excellent food, awesome remote location, and lots to do on the property. I wish we had had more time!

It’s a great property, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The layout is expansive and peaceful, with multiple pools and a serene jungle atmosphere. That said, you’ll definitely want to rent a car if you plan to explore, grab food, or go on excursions—transportation to and from the resort ran nearly $200 each way for us. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to secure a rental. Overall, if you’re looking for something affordable with an authentic jungle getaway vibe, this is a solid option.

We absolutely loved the grounds. Saw a ton of birds including parrots, a kingfisher, warblers, hummingbirds and toucans to name a couple highlights. The big issue we had was the room was attached to another and it had no sound proofing at all. So we could hear conversations, we could hear and feel every movement by our neighbor. The room was nice other than that though. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure was strong. Room was spacious and clean. We would return if we could stay in a single family cabin but doubt we would return otherwise, unfortunately.

A beautiful hotel with great staff and gorgeous setting. The river-view suites are HUGE, and our kids loved the pools & amenities. Howler monkey calls and toucans, and gorgeous river views.

Everything was great. My only complaint is that they played music and other tv noise at the restaurant. The nature sounds is what I came for, not bar music!! Please make the restaurant a no music zone and let us listen to the birds, geckos, and howler monkeys!! They are amazing!!

The place is a bit dated, but overall a nice serene escape if you're looking to disconnect and relax. Staff was super polite and helpful the entire time. Upon entering our room, it was clean aside from a condom wrapper on the ledge and a used condom in the trash can which we can only assume came from staff after the room had beed cleaned. That was pretty gross and not a great start to the visit. Several of the lights in the room didn't work and the private plunge pool is not heated, but not a big deal. The toilet wouldn't flush and I found out that the mechanism was literally being held together with a gum wrapper, but was able to fix it enough to have an operable toilet. The main pool was nice, though a little dirty and also unheated. Food was very good, but kitchen hours were pretty limited which again isn't a huge deal but would've been good to know beforehand. The location is down a very bumpy dirt road and not close to anything, so it's a 25 minute drive each way to food or drinks outside the resort and you'd want an SUV or pickup if driving yourself (not as scary as you think, if you're new to Belize) as a small car would bottom out quite a bit. Overall we were pleased with the trip and found some hidden gems, but this probably isn't a place I'd recommend unless you want to stay on resort the whole time.

I had an amazing experience at Dream Valley Belize. The staff is truly outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The property itself is huge, beautifully maintained, and incredibly relaxing. There’s so much to do—you’ll never feel bored. From the two pools to the variety of games and activities available, it’s perfect for both families and anyone looking to unwind or stay active. The location is fantastic—peaceful, scenic, and perfectly situated to enjoy the surroundings. Although we didn’t get a chance to try the spa services, the range of amenities offered at such a great price point is impressive. And the food—absolutely delicious. Every meal we had was really, really good. Overall, Dream Valley Belize offers an incredible combination of comfort, activities, value, and service. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, peaceful location overlooking the river. Clean, spacious room. Lovely pool. Nice staff. Service at the restaurant was slow.

Dream Valley was a perfect combination of location, relaxation and privacy. We stayed 4 nights in cabin #7- a spacious room with a private plunge pool overlooking the Belize River. The resort is located close to the ATM Cave and mid-way between Belize City and San Ignacio- a perfect staging point for all your explorations. The resort is staffed by a fantastic team- Lucy, Carmen, Kelly and Jenny (and others!) made our stay very enjoyable. They are super friendly, attentive and accommodating. The food was amazing, with lots of options. The resort offers spa treatments (we enjoyed massages), a couple outdoor pools and we highly recommend taking the canoe for a paddle up river- we saw all kinds of wildlife, including the entertaining Howler Monkeys! Would highly recommend including Dream Valley in your Belize plans.

Wonderful property! Fantastic staff!

Lovely grounds

This was the best resort I've ever stayed in, staff was super friendly, the resort and spa was relaxing, my time there was enjoyable. Next time I come back to Belize I'll make sure to stay here. Also the restaurant food was fabulous. Definitely will recommend to anyone wanting a jungle relaxing experience in Belize.

We had a wonderful stay here. The property is beautiful, clean, and very relaxing. It’s a little off the beaten path, which we actually loved because it was so peaceful and quiet. The staff really made the experience special. Carmen at the front desk was fantastic and very welcoming, and Kelly, our server, was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout our stay. The food was consistently amazing, and my friends really enjoyed spending time at the pool. Overall, it was a calm and comfortable place to unwind, and we had a great experience. I would absolutely stay here again.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. Location cannot be beat. Loved slow mornings watching the wildlife from our front porch. Food was great and our accommodations were cozy, clean and well maintained.

Our stay at Dream Valley was absolutely unforgettable. We booked the honeymoon suite tucked into the jungle of Belmopan along the Belize River, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Having our own private pool surrounded by lush greenery made it feel secluded, peaceful, and incredibly special. The suite itself was exceptional — beautifully designed, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a romantic getaway. The staff truly made the experience stand out. Carmen went above and beyond to help us coordinate excursions and transportation, making everything seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail and genuine care did not go unnoticed. The restaurant deserves special recognition — the food was five-star quality. Dining on the balcony while sipping drinks at sunset was one of the most romantic experiences of the trip. The atmosphere, the views, and the flavors were all outstanding. The only piece of advice for future guests: the hotel is in a remote location and not within walking distance of anything. We highly recommend renting a vehicle to make exploring easier. If you’re looking for a romantic, jungle retreat with exceptional service and unforgettable scenery, Dream Valley is the perfect choice. We would absolutely return.

The kind, capable, and attentive staff at beautiful Dream Valley resort was the highlight for us. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. We are two couples traveling, and each of our rooms were lovely, very spacious and well appointed. We enjoyed beautiful views of the river, on the spectacular sights and sounds of the birds, and howler monkeys in the surrounding jungle. We even spotted a coati! Dream Valley is conveniently located near the must see ATM cave as well as cave floating opportunities. With two pools and a delicious restaurant on property, Dream Valley offers a relaxing retreat for travelers.

Absolutely love this resort. Hidden gem of Belize

Amazing place to stay! Loved hearing the howler monkey at night. The rooms are all so spacious and roomy. It’s a little touch to find off the main road so be sure to ask the resort for directions when driving yourself there.

Staff was amazing and very welcoming. They went out of their way to make our anniversary wonderful. Decorating the bed and a wonderful breakfast. Beautiful property!!

It is a beautiful, rooms very clean, and staff very helpful and friendly. However, my big complaint is the mattresses. Everyone in our group complained about the mattresses, so wasn’t just our room. Definitely need an upgrade in this area!
