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
