About this property
Entire place
Alma Del Rio Eco-comfort on the water / La Alma
Alma Del Rio is the winner of the Belize tourism board award for the best small accomodations or the year!! we are a unique & natural homestay acknowledged by the Belize tourism board as a 'health and safety gold standard facility'. Our house is artfully crafted, nested peacefully in the environment. Enjoy our screened lounge with a breathtaking view of the river, often visited by many colorful birds. Our place is a lot located in a small residential stretch ON the pine ridge road, with natural attractions and services close by (driving distance). We have fast wifi and the perfect view to show off to your colleagues if you are working from afar. We planted a young food forest under the huge Guanacaste trees and a small herb garden for your use. Below our house we have a secluded river island with comfortable access (in season). We have 2 houses on the property. the distance between the houses is 40' and they are separated by dense vegetation. we made all effort to make sure each house has it's privacy and yet if you are a bigger groups of people you can now rent the 2 houses :)
We offer all the amenities to enjoy our river experience: A Cooler, picnic mat, bamboo plates, beach towels, water shoes. Enjoy complimentary tropical fruit, handmade soaps, coffee, tea and drinking water . We offer a fully equipped kitchen, hot and cold shower, board games, a spacious dining table and a lounge area with a great river view. We are Kids friendly!! We do not have AC but we do have a great river breeze most of the time and by passive cooling the bedrooms stay cool. Our house is environmentally friendly: We use a solar water heater and energy efficient lighting, together with only biodegradable products and minimizing plastic use. We strive to make minimal impact on the environment.
We try to offer a true jungle experience. Mind that living in nature means we do get visits from multi-legged or flying critters inside the house. The occasional bangs from falling branches, the chirps and clicks of geckos and howler monkey cries add to the tunes to the beautiful orchestra of nature playing for us :)
*Minimum 2 nights stay.
We have 2 houses on the property, each privately nested in dense vegetation. Guests have the entire property for themselves and can access our laundry room, garden, river below and our hearts :)
We stay in San Ignacio, always available to assist and help you have the perfect stay. Anything you need - be it an extra pillow or just some good recommendations - we are here to help.
Alma del Rio is located 2 miles from Santa-Elena towards the Pine Ridge reserve. Though a sleepy road, before you reach our tranquil home, there are several great attractions - you will pass cool M farm where you can purchase fresh milk and Yogurt, Eden Valley Mayan kitchen to taste delicious locally made chocolate, 'The bluffs' bar and grill for great food, drinks and live music, Maya mountain lodge that only use organic, fresh, local produce in their menu (vegan options available too!). 2 Min drive from our house you can find a magical waterfall. In San Antonio village, we highly recommend trying the the women's co-op restaurant - the best in traditional, hearty Mayan dishes that are some of the best in Belize.
If you travel by car, it's a easy as eating a pie; We are right on the road on the way to pine-ridge. A taxi can be arranged for around $20BZ ($10USD). Buses pass regularly during the day between Santa Elena and Cristo Rey for $2BZ($1USD). Once reaching San Ignacio everything is a walking distance, but taxis are available to take you around for as low as $2BZ ($1US). Around us we have a couple of restaurants only a few minutes drive as well as a beautiful water fall. We have a detailed book with all the information at the house. We can help with arranging your transportation and booking your tours with no extra cost - let us know what you're planning!
The road to our property is currently under construction and it can get muddy after heavy rains. Our property is still accessible we just thought you should know :)
