“Jaguar House”

One of our private cottages has a very impressive name – “Jaguar House”. We don't promise you will see any jaguars (they might be somewhere in the jungle just across the river from our resort, but you have to be there - in the jungle - to see them), but you’ll surely will enjoy abundance of tropical wildlife such as iguanas, monkeys, many different birds, butterflies and others. Feel free to book our cosy “Jaguar House” and experience Belize at its best!

Three days at the Black Orchid Resort

We – Calvin and Sam – are British, the last 5 years we’re living in Portugal, where we own a resort (www.tipialgarve.com). Right now we are for three days at the Black Orchid Resort in Belize (first time in this country!).

Our first afternoon we spent laying in hammocks beside the river watching howler monkeys in the trees, there were also many different species of birds with wonderful colors & songs. There was a huge orange iguana who seemed to be the boss.

We ate all our meals in the Black Orchid restaurant including fresh fish & steaks. We had a great breakfast on the terrace with tasty fresh fruit waffles & all types of freshly made juices. The staff are always attentive & willing to help.

Today we made day trip to Mayan ruins Altun-Ha which we enjoyed. After seeing the ruins we spent the afternoon at SPA, where we got full body massage, body wraps and reflexology. Our drivers were both very easy to talk making the whole experience something to remember. Thank you to all the staff, keep up the good work!

In this picture you can see us relaxing in hammocks on the Black Orchid Resort grounds, by the riverside in the shade of huge tropical trees.

Happy 65!

Congratulations to Douglas Thompson on his 65th birthday! May he live to enjoy many more! Best wishes from the Black Orchid Resort staff.

What our guests write about Black Orchid Resort

Our New Year has started GREAT! We are excited about the latest testimonial that our guest wrote in the questionnaire on check out today:

Gavin from San Francisco, on January 2, 2013:
‘We only had one night here. We chose it because of its proximity to the airport. We wished we stayed here longer. Food is excellent. Setting is beautiful. Rooms, beds, bathrooms are spotless. This place really exceeded what we expected. Sad to leave, having not gotten to fully appreciate everything on offer.’

Dear Gavin, we believe you will come again and stay longer!

We always appreciate when our guests write reviews on TripAdvisor, but when we get comments like that, we are VERY HAPPY:

Siobhan B fron Mississauga, Ontario, Canada posted on January 1, 2013:

“As a seasoned traveller of Belize, my friend brought me to the Black Orchid Resort on the first night of my first trip to Belize. And I was not disappointed! This is a wonderful resort, from the friendly and efficient staff to the lovely landscaped property, I enjoyed it all. The room was very clean and comfortable and the food was delicious. I enjoyed relaxing meals overlooking a beautiful stretch of the river, listening to the birds. Heaven! We were lucky in that our stay coincided with an outdoor concert held across the street featuring some amazing artists promoting Creole culture. Fabulous! I would recommend this resort to anyone and hope to stay there again one day myself!”
