We had an excellent stay at the Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch Jungle resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful, as well as very accommodating throughout our stay. We enjoyed our time on and off the property thanks to very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides.

Property was great, beds were comfortable, food was DELICIOUS, atmosphere was perfect, and everyone was friendly and helpful! Well thought out by Ian and Ella and well executed by them and their staff! Was really great to be able to talk to Ian in person since they live right above the lodge! Would love to come back but would CERTAINLY book direct with Ian's instead of through Expedia for this property in the future. Expedia makes it sound all-inclusive, but there were limitations (no bar snacks, only local-alcohol (not a huge deal for us) but no adventures were included (other than complimentary guided botanical gardens tour) since we booked through Expedia, whereas adventures would have been if we booked direct. Like booking through Expedia because we can book flights at the same time; and have never run into these discrepancies between all-inclusivity at other stays we'd run through Expedia. On the day our one excursion with the lodge was cancelled - due to weather - we found other activities to fill the 'void' quickly...checking out the Inland Blue Hole across the street from the property's driveway (just a short 10-20 min walk), walking the botanical gardens, and getting signed up that morning for afternoon horseback riding for our kids!
We felt very safe and taken care of at Caves Branch and will recommend it to anyone! We'd love to come back for a longer stay to experience more of this wonderful country, property, and all the beauty and adventure it beholds!

A fabulous few days spent in this unique place, in such a beautiful and natural setting. The staff were amazing, our boys especially loved Isreal our guide for the cave tubing and jungle trek. The place is stunning and so well cared for. We can’t wait to return .

Caves Branch is a beautiful place to stay, in the jungle surrounded by flowers, trees, and native birds. We (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed in one of the Jungle Suites, separated from other suites by trees; very private. It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and hear the birds singing, or listen to the distant sound of howler monkeys at night. There is a small botanical garden on-site, free kayaks that you can borrow to paddle on the river, and just walking the paths is lovely.
The foods was incredible. A breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, omelet station, and pastries/pancakes every morning, a different 3-course dinner every night. We have dietary restrictions (1 lactose intolerant person, 2 gluten intolerant people) and we had plenty to eat. Vegetarians also have options, and I think vegans would do ok as well, though with less variety. You'd only be really restricted if you have multiple requirements, e.g. vegan AND gluten free.
We did not do the tours the resort offers but heard great things about them from other guests.
The only thing I'll note is that it is a combination of luxurious and rustic, as noted on the Caves Branch home website (though not necessarily on Hotels.com). The cabanas have screen walls (with curtains all around that can be closed for privacy), and some large bugs did get inside. There is an AC unit directly over the queen bed that will cool the bed area but not the whole cabin (bc of the screen walls). We loved it but it's not for everyone.

Firstly the Pros.
The resort looks amazing, great scenery and surroundings.
They definitely try to create an experience.
The food is fresh and a lot of care and attention is given to it, the portions are also good.
Swimming pools is nice and it is next to a river which you can swim in or kayak if weather permits
The cons.
Although the service is great when it works, it is inconsistent, they don't always respond quickly.
They muddled my son's birthday cake and gave us the wrong cake which got mixed up with a couples anniversary cake, this was a massive blunder and could not be rectified.
The pricing of the food is not clear and transparent, sometimes it's a buffet and sometime a fixed menu but the pricing is not clearly communicated.
The onsite activities are over priced especially when you include resort fees on top. You could book these directly for cheaper if you have a car
Sometimes it feels they pester you with booking activities
There is no wifi in the rooms which is not great when it rains as you are mostly stuck in your room
The rooms don't have windows instead they have mosquito nets, so if it gets really hot the AC in the room is not effective

We had an incredible experience at Caves Branch!
It was a highlight of our trip :)
The property is beautiful, make sure to tour the botanical gardens!
We loved the cave waterfall adventure, wished we stayed longer to do all the activities.
The pool and river are an excellent touch and fun to explore.
The staff and food were unreal.
Highly recommend this place!

Bungalows are private. Flowers and towel art every day. Great food. The garden walk and open air greenhouse was amazing and very educational. Great for families and lots of options for excursions or just relax by the pool or kayak on the river.

While the resort is lovely, we were a little disappointed in the food and beverages. No complaints about the service, but the choices were limited and a bit lacking. Five stars to the staff and surroundings!

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The service, the food, the grounds, the adventures! We had an amazing 3 night stay here and felt so comfortable surrounded by nature. It is absolutely beautiful but what really makes this place are the people. Every single person we encountered was kind and hospitable. There were a lot of young children there during spring break and my son loved having others to play with and everyone was so patient and accepting. We loved how it felt so homey have dinner all together every night and loved every minute of our stay.

We really enjoyed our Caves Branch stay. The staff were all exceptional and the ease of the meals (family style buffet) and tours made decision making really easy. Thanks to Arnold and Kenry for our river cave tubing tour. We learned a lot about Mayan history and Arnold was extremely patient with our slow moving family. Kenry helped my son jump into the river at the end of the tour. Cali at the bar was lovely as well, and the restaurant staff all referred to my daughter by name. I do think the friendliness and warmth of the staff sets this resort apart. My son loved the mini baguettes! Lastly, jungle critters are part of the experience and i appreciated the staff politely escorting them out of our cabana without mocking us.

The property was so beautiful with its pool and waterfall and jungle grounds which were immaculate. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was spectacular. We only got to spend one night but wish it could have been at least four. This is the best hotel to stay in all of Northern Belize! Highly recommend!

An amazing experience right in the jungle. Beautifully groomed and well kept. A nice small feel without too many guests. Everyone was so friendly. The excursions were unbelievable and I didn't hear a negative comment from any of the guests. Tour guides were outstanding

The property is a very unique property which offers a nice stay with opportunities of incredible views in the tropical jungle of Belize. My wife and I experienced a one week trip to the property that we will never forget as it offered such a different experience. It's not just a property which offers adventurous/exciting excursions. If you enjoy being in nature, the place is a must! The bird watching and horticulture experience is exceptional. We were able to join the owners and staff for their 2024 Halloween costume contest which was cool to be a part of. Unfortunately, we couldn't do everything due to rain but the staff was very accommodating and helped us plan alternative activities on short notice. We are now planning to bring our two kids (21 & 24) to the property sometime in the future as Belize is a country you should visit at least once in your life.

This is one of the best places I ever stayed at. If you like a rainforest, / jungle setting, then this is by far one of the most peaceful, beautiful areas you could go to. Amazing staff and a overall fantastic experience. I picked it from expedia, and I am very glad I did. The grounds are beyond amazing, with its flora and beautiful pool and cabins. Nothing could have been better and I will be returning soon.

One of the most beautiful resorts I have stayed at. The canopy treehouse we were staying in had extraordinary view, and we enjoyed the beautiful outdoor shower.

Overall great experience.

So glad we found this gem! Beautiful gardens on the property and all of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and really seem to enjoy working there. The cave tubing was a bunch of fun and they made accommodations for our two small children. 10/10 would recommend and we hope to return.

Incredible spot with super friendly staff. You are in the jungle and it shows in every way. The sounds at night make the price of admission worth it alone. Being on a lazy river and having a cool pool is icing on the cake. Had one issue with our first room but they got it all squared away.
