Fodor's Review:

Some 800 feet above limestone cliffs and the Macal River gorge, Black Rock may have the most beautiful setting of any lodge in the country. The well-shaded cabins, which come in deluxe, river-view, and shared-bath versions, have stone floors and custom-made hardwood furniture and views across Black Rock canyon. New ownership appears eco-conscious, running the lodge on hydro and solar power, and also safety-conscious, helping alleviate concerns about a couple of crime incidents that took place several years ago under previous management. Since you're a 35-minute drive (about BZ$50 by taxi) from San Ignacio, partly on a narrow, single-lane dirt trail, by necessity you'll take all your meals here (the full meal plan is BZ$101 per person including tax and service) and do most tours with the lodge. Pros: Remote, beautiful setting, eco-conscious management. Cons: You're stuck here for meals and tours unless you have a car.
