The resort and entire staff is simply amazing! The onsite restaurant is excellent! The riverside beach makes for a relaxing setting with great waterside service from the bar and restaurant. The tours are led by very knowledgeable guides who are proud to share their culture and heritage.

Gaia Riverlodge was great!. Excellent service, very good food and beautiful scenery and setting of the rainforest and overlooking a waterfall. The tours and guides were also very much enjoyed. Learned alot about Belize, Mayan culture and the rainforest. Highly recommend the whole experience.

This hotel is the most unique and special place I think we’ve ever stayed! The property is absolutely beautiful. The five sisters waterfall on property takes the place of a resort pool and it is the most gorgeous and peaceful place to spend a day. We ended up spending two full days down there since we loved it so much. The rooms are beautiful. My husband was nervous about how hot it might be without AC, but it was not a problem at all. The service was incredible. Most of the staff at the hotel knew all four of our names and treated us like family. If I had to get a con, for us Americans, the drive into the property was challenging. I definitely recommend not doing it at night your first time and taking it very slow. But we did it multiple times over our stay of four nights and we were fine as long as you go slow. The only other issue we experienced was the tram to take you down to the waterfalls was broken during your thing. That seemed to be a fluke, but it was very disappointing as the steps up and down a challenge and there was no food or drink service down there. But we would absolutely stay here again! We were there with our two teenage daughters and it was everyone’s favorite place we have ever stayed!

This may have been our favorite hotel ever for our family of four, including two teens. It was gorgeous and so unique, and the hospitality was off the charts. Every staff knew our names. They were all incredible, but especially Kobe! And the waterfall and pools were amazing to swim in. We planned on spending one free day there but ended up being there for two because nobody wanted to leave them! If I had to find a criticism, the tram to the waterfall was broken while we were there. This seemed to be unusual but was a big hardship me with a bad knee. It is also fairly remote and the road is a bit scary to drive at night but we ended up doing it. It was worth it. We hope to be back!

Located in the pine ridge reserve over looking waterfall, the view is stunning. Private waterfall natural pool lounging area is available to the guests. Room is cozy and comfortable, smaller than expected. Complimentary breakfast is great since there are only two high-end restaurants within 25 minutes drive. It is expensive to dine in the hotel. Landscape and the surrounding nature is beautiful. It is close to Big Rock waterfall. There is no AC in the room, but we didn’t feel hot as the mountain is cooling. However, the approximately to the fall does make all our clothings quite damp. The staff are extremely friendly.

We stayed in the villa and it was wonderful! Very spacious, private, and quaint - I would describe it as rustic luxury. The staff at Gaia is great - everyone goes above and beyond! There is a lot to see and do nearby - especially if you're active. It was a great 4-night stay!

Property is very nice overall and the employees were wonderful. Location is lovely with easy access to the waterfall and beautiful sunsets from the deck. Only issue was the water pressure was weak in our our mountain view bungalow. Due to the location you are somewhat hostage to the restaurant as it's a bit of a trek to get out. Fortunately the kitchen did a great job and we enjoyed the meals and the drinks. They were accommodating for early morning departures and would pack up to-go breakfasts if you let them know the night before. Coffee delivery to the room was also greatly appreciated. Overall it's recommended and we would stay there again.

I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Gaia. The rooms are amazing, we had a waterfall room with the peaceful sound of the waterfall in the background and their service was outstanding!
