La Alma at Alma Del Rio • Eco Comfort on the Water

Wonderful, relaxing home for a family. Wonderful hosts! Positive: This was a wonderful place for our family of 6 with folks from ages 8 to 75. Waking up in the mornings to the sound of howler monkeys and a cacophony of birds overlooking the river was spectacular. Negative: It is relatively expensive for such a remote location. There is benefit from being along the river, though it's a ways from town.

Attentive staff. Delightful stay. Positive: Quiet, beautiful setting in nature on the river. Wild life. Monkeys. Many birds.

An immersion in nature and the warmest hosts to welcome us to Belize. Positive: It was so relaxing and serene. We felt immersed in nature and much care was taken to make the property eco-friendly. Comfortable, climate controlled bedrooms and a warm welcome from hosts. Negative: Part of the magic is it’s a short drive from daily conveniences so as long guests expect to need a lift once in a while, it’s the perfect place. Very communicative and helpful hosts when it comes to transportation and needs that arose.

What an amazing experience! Hadas was an amazing host, and very helpful and informative! She helped us book an amazing tour with Jamal who picked us up for a wonderful jungle pontoon experience, which I highly recommend. She helped us navigate the area with excellent tips on where to go, and what to see. The house itself is AMAZING! The view is even better than the pictures show. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. We hit the farmer’s market for some wonderful ingredients on the way in! The wildlife is all around you! It is a soundtrack, but totally worth the experience. It’s the jungle what do you expect?! Dora was super friendly, and had we had more time I’m sure her classes and massage are top notch. All in all I was most excited for my island and ocean time, but am leaving Belize most amazed by my jungle experience at Alma Del Rios!

Excellent stay and much attention to detail. Positive: The cabin was lovely. Grounds and access to the river were great. Negative: Occasionally the highway traffic was noticeable from the porch and grounds. Very quiet within the cabin.
