I had a wonderful stay at the Black Orchid, which was surrounded by nature and provided a peaceful atmosphere. The airport shuttle service was convenient, and I appreciated the friendly staff who made me feel welcome. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, although the bed could use some improvement. The dining options were decent, though a bit on the pricey side. The beautiful grounds and the array of wildlife made my experience truly enjoyable.

I had a wonderful stay at Black Orchid Resort. The ambience is warm and inviting, making it feel like a home away from home. The proximity to the airport is super convenient, and the staff is always ready to assist and make your stay enjoyable. The only minor hiccup was that there was a small wait for my check-in, but it didn’t overshadow my overall fantastic experience. I highly recommend this place for families and groups.

My stay at the Black Orchid was largely enjoyable. The rooms were lovely and had a beautiful view of the river, making it a serene spot to relax. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time and were very accommodating. However, some aspects felt a little off, like the messy boat launch area and some outdated facilities. Overall, it's a peaceful location, but it could use a bit more attention to detail.

While the grounds were nicely maintained and lush, the boat launch area needed some organization. It looked like great adventure opportunities were marred by the disarray.

My mom and I had an amazing time at the Black Orchid for five nights. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and our room had a lovely view overlooking the Belize River. The peaceful setting felt like a retreat and the excursions offered by the resort were a huge plus. However, we did notice some mold in the bathrooms and the mosquitoes came out in full force during the evenings, so be sure to bring bug spray.

The pool area was nice, although it is on the smaller side and did not have much shade, so it might not be ideal for everyone.
