We call our little jungle paradise home, and you can always count on a warm welcome and someone here on-site to assist you.
We are deeply committed to sustainable tourism practices and preserving the natural beauty of Belize. We believe that responsible travel not only safeguards the environment but also enriches our guests’ experience by offering a closer connection to nature and local culture.
We take pride in personally greeting you upon your arrival. While there may be occasions when we need to travel for various reasons, rest assured that there will always be someone we trust on-site, ensuring your needs are met, and questions answered.
Whether you want to chat about Belize, seek local recommendations, or simply need assistance with any aspect of your visit, you’ll have a reliable point of contact right here. Your comfort and satisfaction are of utmost importance to us.
We are early risers - usually up and around by 6:30am. Our guests' tours take them away from the property most of the day - but we are around to answer questions, provide directions, etc.
We have a dog & a cat who have full access to the property. They are very friendly.
After booking, we'll immediately send you a Google Forms link (via our property management system) to collect additional information required by the Belize Tourism Board.
We welcome all races, ethnicities, genders, orientations & religions. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Housekeeping/Cleaning Fee!
If you need more space, we have other listings to accommodate up to 6 additional guests. Just reach out and we can provide you with more information.
We do NOT have a gratuity charge.
***************************
A Note about Travel Insurance: For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance. This will help protect your trip investment against unforeseen circumstances, such as weather events, illnesses, or other unexpected issues that may arise within 30 days of your arrival date.
*************************** No open flames permitted in/near the home.
***************************
Cristo Rey Village is in the jungle region of Belize. While this provides incredible beauty and natural wonders, it also means that heat, humidity, sudden tropical squalls, power outages and water outages are not uncommon.
**************************
We have free high speed wi-fi service on the property and in the home. It is fast and reliable! However, if the power to the village goes out, we do lose internet service, but that doesn’t happen often.
**************************
We strive for a calm, serene & relaxing environment; and most of the time it is just that. However, the local birds are very active as daylight breaks, and the Howler Monkeys can be a bit startling at night. We are also in the middle of a small, but active village. Sometimes the neighboring roosters, dogs, church music, etc. can be heard.
***************************
HOLIDAY DISCLAIMER
Holidays are VERY festive times in Belize, and the love for celebrations is deeply ingrained in the culture. During holidays, it's common for locals to enjoy lively gatherings with music and fireworks, contributing to a vibrant and joyous atmosphere. We understand that this exuberance may be disruptive to some guests' stays.
However, whether staying with us, or anywhere else in Belize, it will be louder than normal during all Belize Holidays. And a Holiday isn't just a single day of celebration..... Belizeans start celebrating days before and usually at least one day after any given holiday.
Some of the 'loudest' holidays are New Years, Easter, Belize Independence Day (Sept) and Christmas.
So, for those guests who are extremely noise sensitive please keep these things in mind.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Change of towels is available on request.
