I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Gaia. The rooms are amazing, we had a waterfall room with the peaceful sound of the waterfall in the background and their service was outstanding!

It was great. The waterfalls on site are stunning. The views from the restaurant are amazing and the staff was great. They were always friendly and attentive. The only complaint is that it needs some sort of AC for during the day. Fans weren't enough to keep the room cool in the hot season. Other times of the year I'm sure it's perfect. I'd still highly recommend it.

Gaïa is a dream. We loved every second of our stay. Massages at the waterfall, dinner, the amazing room, coffee service to your room in the am. The staff was so friendly and kind. They have literally thought of everything. Our only mistake was not staying longer.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful property! Very expensive but was very thankful I got at least one night experience at Gaia. Waking up to the 5 Sisters waterfalls is magical. Especially loved the garden and was very lucky to get a tour from farmer Pat. We also did a night jungle walk and we enjoyed that a lot as well.

Gaia has an Amazing location perched above a beautiful waterfall. Three days was sufficient for us—gave us time to tour a Mayan Ruin and canoe thru a nearby cave. The food was outstanding as was the staff. Javier and Freddie really made the stay next level. The road in needs some attention, beyond that our stay was great!

Phenomenal is an understatement. The property is stunning, and the service is out of this world. Special thanks to Selvi, Freddy, and Javier for taking exceptional care of us. Definitely get a waterfall room! We can’t wait to return!

The staff and facilities were amazing. We did a guided tour nearly every day. Every guide was phenomenal - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Everything you could ask for. The river is so relaxing we could have stayed there all day and would have been thrilled. Cannot recommend enough.

Gaia was as beautiful as all I read about! From the moment we arrived at Belize International Airport, we were greeted right away from a staff member of Gaia informing us of where our shuttle would be. Before you know it, we were in the mountains greeted at the front desk by Colby and Tony in the restaurant who was at our beck and call with every need we had. we had lovely dinners breakfast on the beautiful deck overlooking the waterfall, took the bikes out one day and found big rock waterfall, which was an amazing day. Bring your water shoes Had amazing dinners each night under the beautiful stars. What a perfect relaxing vacation.!!

I paid more for a room next to the waterfall. The windows had no glasses, just screens. Therefore, the room was wet and cold. We had to use the hair dryer to dry everything at all times. The hot water was not coming out. They could not fix it. The concierge was a disaster. Organized poor excursions, and when we traded, he charged the same amount. Except for a couple of days everything else was not worth it. Tthey said they would refund two nights. They did not refund the complete two nights. The food was also bad

Gaia was a wonderful place to enjoy the jungle side of Belize. The staff was very responsive and assisted me with transfer from Belize City and back. There was an extra charge for this service. Check in was a breeze and the rooms are very comfortable. Hector at the front desk made arrangements for tours and spa and transportation, Freddy and Demor and Darren were perfect servers and went above and beyond! The resort is lucky to have them. The space down by the waterfall for sunning, dining and spa is so peaceful! Coco, the resort dog, accompanied me on a walk to Big Rock Falls too! It was a lovely stay. I cannot wait to come back some time.

The riverside Villa was amazing. One of the most beautiful places I have ever stay. We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was great!! The service was exceptional, the food and the tours were over our expectations. I hope to visit the Gaia hotel in the future. The staff did a great job. You are doing a great job with this hotel! Thank you for these beautiful days in the forest!

We have nothing but good things to say about Gaia. This place was incredible! My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there and the staff did everything possible to make sure it went great. Every single person there went above and beyond. Incredibly genuine. I can't recommend this place enough! Special shout out to Freddie (I hope I spelled his name right). Super attentive. Made sure we had an awesome dinner every night.

Gaia was INCREDIBLE. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are beautiful, the scenery is stunning, and yet the best part is the fantastic service. We felt like friends with Freddy and Javier by the time we left. Greg was also a wonderful tour guide. And Colby helped us decide on and book adventures. They all made us feel right at home! un fact, they didn’t let us check in until we’d had a welcome drink and sat down for a lovely candlelit dinner. And speaking of the restaurant - the food and drinks on the property are really great which is good because unless you have 4WD you’re unlikely to be going elsewhere to eat. Expect to pay American prices for food and drinks but it’s worth it as almost all (if not all) the food is grown right there on the property - everything’s incredibly fresh and delicious. My favorite part was lounging down by the waterfall or sitting on our balcony overlooking it, listening to the sounds of the jungle.

Gaia is a very beautiful place. The property is so serene and was very grounding. The nature and wildlife is amazing and they do an excellent job to keep guests comfortable even though you are nearly in the rainforest. The staff and service were top notch and staff made sure we were comfortable and felt special. Definitely reccomend

We spent three days at Gaia, a beautiful, small lodge nestled in the hills above San Ignacio. The room was beautiful and looked out over the waterfalls, the sounds of which lulled us to sleep. Dinner and drinks in the main lodge were excellent. We also went on an Intro to Birding tour in the morning, saw toucans and other birds and went on the tour of the garden which supplies fruits and veg to Gaia and to its sister resort in San Pedro. You can hike along the nature paths and walk down to the waterfall and chill out there (and take the funicular back up!). I was a bit worried that we were too far out of San Ignacio for first time visitors who were going to be out and about doing things like the ATM cave tour and visiting ruins, but the road is now almost entirely paved (only the last 10 mins are off road, and that section is graded). Gaia is better suited to those who want a few days in a beautiful luxury setting away from it all. But with our own rental car, we had the best of both worlds and left feeling refreshed by the greenery and water, the beauty of Gaia, and uniformly fantastic people who work there.

We love the individual “Casita” arrangement - and so many neat locations around the property, yet, everything is so convenient! The staff is unmatched with their friendliness, willingness to educate and inform us/any to the area, the culture, the country and their experiences. There was not one employee we encountered or had interaction with that was not first class! We will return and be sure to recommend to others, friends and family!

All we can say is WOW — Gaia Riverlodge left a wonderful impression. Truly magical, and by that I mean the hotel itself as well as the professional and courteous team. From Nigel and Kobe at reception, Freddy and team at the restaurant, to Elias on the grounds, all went worked to ensure our stay was a delight. Including the property’s mascot, Coco, who expertly escorted us through the nature path! Highly recommended!
