Mile 36.5, Hummingbird Hwy., Belmopan, Cayo, Belize Fodor's Choice

This well-run lodge, just off the Hummingbird Highway near the Sibun River, offers luxury in a remote rain forest setting. The gorgeous, earth-tone accommodations are lavished with Belizean hardwoods and sunlit decks, from Spanish casitas to mountain-view suites with plunge pools to a two-bedroom cabana. The second and third levels of the main lodge, used as a bar and dining room, have gorgeous views of the nearby Maya Mountains and the river. There's also a nice pool and well-tended grounds.
