Blancaneaux Lodge by Francis Ford Coppola

We spent 3 incredible nights at the Lodge this past January and wish we had scheduled a few more days. The entire team at Blancaneaux truly is spectacular. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the experience could not have been better. I wish I had known about this extraordinary spot years ago, we will definitely return. From the dining to activities to lodging and service, it is extraordinary. We loved Belize and Blancaneaux.

We recently stayed at Blancaneux Lodge for three nights, and it was nothing short of magical. From the breathtaking setting to the incredible experiences, this is a place we will cherish in our memories for years to come. One of the highlights of our trip was the ATM cave tour organized through the lodge. It was an awe-inspiring adventure, and the guides were absolutely fantastic. Not only were they knowledgeable and professional, but they also shared so much about Belize's history, culture, and natural beauty along the way. We left feeling like we had a deeper understanding and appreciation of this amazing country. The lodge itself is wonderfully comfortable, with thoughtful details that made our stay exceptional. Evenings were cooler, which was a pleasant contrast to the warm days. I highly recommend bringing a shawl or light jacket for sitting outside. Another delightful surprise—there were no bugs during our stay, which made dining al fresco and enjoying the outdoors even more enjoyable. Speaking of dining, the food at Blancaneux’s restaurants was consistently excellent. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was incredibly efficient—dinners were prompt, so you never felt like your evening was dragging on unless you wanted to take your time and linger over a meal. One experience we can’t recommend enough is the garden dinner. The family-style dining setup was a highlight, featuring delicious, locally sourced dishes and an intimate atmosphere. We loved getting to know other guests during the meal and even made some new friends. It truly added a sense of connection to our stay. Blancaneux Lodge is a perfect retreat for those seeking adventure, relaxation, and a taste of Belizean culture and hospitality. From the exceptional guides to the fantastic food and warm service, every detail was just right. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Belize!

I did not believe the positve reviews until I eXperienced the amazing service and attention to details. The place os peaceful and magical. When we arrived, we were greeted in amazing fashion. After a long drive from the airport, we had some amazing fresh seafood and vegetables. The quarters were amazing. We had the basic river cabana. We then went horseback riding tbroigh the jungle. The sunset ride was exceptional. Dinner was amazing in flavor and value. Morning in room dining was excellent. Excursions by the lodge are top notch and well worth the cost. You get the best of everythjng--the best guides and vehicles and experiences. I think it is best to consukt with staff and arrange the best experiences for your tastes. We visited Barton Cave and Cahal Pech. The highlight for us was the romantic dinner. I believe it would be hard to top anywhere in the world. Best part of Blancaneaux is the hjgh level of service and pampering. You experience all types of little extras throughout---extra homemade candy here a hot water bottle in the bed there--multiple room cleanings and treats. Anyways, the top reviews are well deserved. Blancaneaux is amazing!
