Fodor's Expert Review The Lodge at Big Falls

Off Mile 79, Southern Hwy., Big Falls, Toledo, Belize

Relax beside a meandering jungle river, listen to otters splash, and admire colorful tropical birds and butterflies at this small lodge on 30 placid acres beside the Rio Grande. This is a birder's paradise: 350 species have been recorded within 5 miles (8 km) of the lodge. There's a pool, six original thatch cabanas, and three newer hardwood cabins with a/c, plus a main lodge for meals, which are an additional fee.

PROS

  • fun to tube or swim in the river
  • excellent birding
  • good food

CONS

  • meals are pricey
  • very quiet, so not a place to stay if you crave action
  • you'll need a car to stay here
