Black Orchid Resort is a lovely, peaceful property tucked away in a beautiful natural setting. One of the standout highlights is the small family of howler monkeys living right on the property—hearing and seeing them is a special, memorable bonus and really adds to the experience. That said, there are some areas that could use attention. The bed was not very comfortable and made noticeable noise with movement. The headboard is also a bit of a safety concern; the exposed logs are positioned in a way that makes it easy to hit your head. The restaurant menu was unfortunately a major point of frustration. Some items are described as including vegetables and “chef-selected rice or potatoes,” yet when the dish arrived without these components, we were told it was simply a typo on the menu. If the menu isn’t going to be corrected, servers should clearly explain this at the time of ordering. Similarly, the pancakes are listed as chocolate but were served as plain pancakes, and when asked about it, the concern was dismissed with the insistence that what was served was correct—despite the menu description. There were also multiple instances where extra ingredients, such as onions, were added to dishes without being mentioned beforehand. The location is very secluded, which is both a plus and a minus. It’s perfect if you’re looking to disconnect, but be prepared for transportation costs. On a positive note, the gentleman at the front desk is an absolute doll and deserves a raise.

What a beautiful resort! Kaleb was our host checking in. Very professional and friendly. There was a small issue with our room, but it was quickly rectified beyond our expectations. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous with giant iguanas running around. We dined at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We had a chance to interact with the owner Beverly and she was wonderful and gracious. Upon checking out, I interacted with Dryane, again, very professional and friendly. I chose this location as it was close to both Altun Ha and the Baboon sanctuary, which both come highly recommended from me. Black Orchid is a wonderful place to stay. I hope to return someday.

Nice spacious room, excellent staff that helped us with zip line/atv trip in the jungle (transportation and booking excursion) and transportation to and from Belize and water taxi to San Pedro was also prearranged and seamless with reliable companies. Quiet resort perfect to decompress. Everyone friendly including guests. The right vibe to start the Belize trip.

This hotel was exactly what we needed for our first night in Belize. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and very friendly staff all around. We used this hotel as a first night launchpad since we arrived later in the day and didn't want to drive the two hours in the dark to San Ignacio. Much nicer grounds and pool than we expected and we were very happy with our dinner (fish and shrimp dishes) and great breakfast. This is a perfect place to stay on the front or back end of a trip to be close to the airport, or even to stay for a couple of days for nearby excursions!

Laid back and relaxing

Nice, typically rustic Belize style resort. Everyone working there that we interacted with was friendly. Very few rooms occupied the two nights we were there (5 rooms the second night and less than that the first night it seemed), which was good in some ways but not great for the resort. It seems they don't use dynamic pricing because I would have stayed another night if the price wasn't so much higher for the Saturday night stay even though I was told they only had 10 rooms booked for Saturday. The restaurant was good--you pretty much have to eat there unless you want to drive a long way. It would have been nice if the server had told us at breakfast that each coffee refill was an additional charge so we could take that into consideration before asking for more. The Spa on the rooftop which looked like a nice place to relax didn't work but other than that everything was as expected and nice. One of the owners was often around and very friendly.
