We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lower Dover. We didn't have a car, but a bus stop was a 10 minute walk away so it was easy to get into San Ignacio. Maddie was a wonderful, helpful host. She dropped us off in San Ignacio one day, had great suggestions on things to do, ate dinner with us many nights, played board games with us, and made delicious food. We especially enjoyed the vegetarian dinners she made for us when there weren't other guests. We stayed in the Red Cabana. It was perfect for us and included a comfortable bed and outdoor toilet. They were building a bar very close to the cabana when we were there, so that may take away from the lovely deck lounging atmosphere. Her property was great for meandering through the forest exploring ruins, and looking for wildlife. It was a great place to chill for a few days.

5/5 Lower Dover is the most interesting place i stay on this trip. It is a quiet jungle lodge, clean, comfortable, with adorable animals. Host Mandy and her family are super nice, help me so much during my stay, thanks to Mandy's help, i got the last chance to join ATM cave tour, which i highly recommend to all my friends. The breakfast and dinner they provide are natrual, healthy and delicious, must try. i met four othet guests here, we always had happy dinner together. Fantanstic!

This place is the absolute cutest! Maddy was the best hostess and was so friendly and inviting. She booked our tour for us as well. The rooms are adorable and comfortable. The showers are honestly my favorite. Very clean, and better than I expected. Maddie Belize breakfast was amazing as well.

Lower Dover is a treasure in the jungle you cannot miss. The property and the beautiful wood houses have access to a river in the middle of the jungle and , last but not least, in the property you can visit a maya ruin which is amazing!! It feels like being in an Indians Jones movie for real, for me it was emotional to walk around these uncovered ruins in the middle of a luxury jungle. Magdalena is a fantastic host, I loved her kindness, her amazing stories, her dinner and healthy breakfast, I think she is great. Thanks to her we were able to visit ATM early in the morning avoiding all the many tourists that visit it every day. So Thank you Magdalena!! We highly recommend to stay in this beautiful relaxing place immerse in the nature!! Chiara, Antonio and Henry from Italy.

We stayed on this property for 4 nights and then extended it for another week we loved it so much. Mostly because Maddy the owner and host is incredible - SHe is a fabulous host who caters for every need. The bat house was a lovely large room with a comfy queen bed, lovely cotton linen and a single bed, desk and chairs as well as a basin and toilet ensuite. There is also a balcony with two chairs to lounge on - all being enclosed by mozzie mesh. you can shower in your private shower downstairs or use the communal showers a few steps away. Aircon for that room is optional and charged for so be sure to factor that into your costs. Dinner and breakfast was a special treat and VERY healthy!! Maddy pays attention to nutrition and made sure we got well balanced good food. The surrounding areas is what makes it so special - river runs around a large portion of the property where you can go for lovely walks in the forest and swim in the river. The property also have several ruins - ask Maddy to take you on a tour or simply go explore yourself. - its totally free My husband and I will definitely be back for our health fix and rest at Lower Dover

This place is very back to nature. They have a mini farm with turkeys and ducks etc. Because it’s a little out of the way they do offer Brkfst and dinner. If you book in advance they reserve dinner. If coming in late, take advantage it was a very nice meal. There is also a time restriction for dinner, be aware. Owner is very nice and informative.

Came here some time ago - decided to return to Belize with friends and came back. The place is still great - multiple sleeping cabin options on this large property. Hosts Madeline and Bill are still great - personable, helpful and made our stay great yet again. Hopefully will return in the future - highly recommend.

Not what I expected at all! It was better!! Had the property all to myself which was nice. There’s some trails you can walk, spots to jump in and cool off along the trail. There’s even some ruins that are in site!! Maddie, the host, was awesome. Cooked dinner and breakfast for me everyday, small few, worth it. You’re not really close to San Ignacio, short bus ride. Maddie is a wealth of information about the ruins and pretty much anything Belize you need to know. 10/10 - will stay here again!!
