About the Hotel

Characterized by the exoticism of the Caribbean and the mystery of Mayan culture, Belize is a land devoted to the "awes" of nature. As you awaken to new discoveries in this repository of the world's only refuge dedicated to the preservation of the jaguar, the howler monkey and the jabiru stork, guests are sure to acquire a new appreciation of wildlife and adventure. Where waterfalls drop into granite pools lined with tiger ferns, while parrots roost in the palmettos, Blancaneaux Lodge rises majestically out of the jungles. On encountering its radiant tropical beauty, Francis Ford Coppola declared it "the paradise hideaway I was looking for." His personal vision for the lodge was one of rustic comfort in harmony with the surroundings. Its elevated villas feature soaring hardwood and hand-woven thatch ceilings, furnishings crafted of local mahogany, and luxurious tiled baths that offers view of the jungle sky. An extensive array of robust activities that include canoeing, hiking, touring and more complete this picture of paradise. Envision yourself gently rocking in a hammock beneath the shade of coconut palms, while the Caribbean unfolds against a white sand beach.

Great experience!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 18 hours ago

What a magical place! We ate the Indonesian Rijsttafel on a monday, which was a great experience in their beautifull environment. The food was amazing, many different portions of Indonesian yumminess on a lazy Sue. Thanks Mr. Martin! QPO ;-)

The guides are the only reason to stay.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

The scuba and trail/birding/Mayan guides were the best we’ve ever had. Hands down the best!!! If you stay here go on an excursion! However, the front desk was terrible. The whole trip they didn’t get any reservations for anything correct- EVER. The food wasn’t good and the breakfast service was awful- out of five breakfasts not one time did we get what we ordered. We ended up canceling all on site restaurants to go into town and even then they concierge didn’t know what restaurants were open on what days. The grounds staff, bar staff and housekeeping were also great. It’s very clear there is a lack of management at the front of house and maybe a lack of interest from the owner. It definitely feels like a resort on the decline which is a real shame for the guide department where there is some extreme talent.

Ticket to Paradise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

From the moment we arrived to the time we left Turtle Inn was a fabulous experience. Their incredibly friendly and personable staff went above and beyond in everything they did and were very helpful. Our Seafront Cottage was comfortable, spacious and exquisitely decorated. The food and drink choices were wonderful with a nice variety and there were multiple excursions to choose from. Not to be missed is the half-day snorkeling to Laughing Bird Caye with fellow travelers and Javier and the Sunset Cruise in the Dolce Vita. We loved everything about this charming, idyllic resort and will surely be back!

Great resort for families with teens

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Our family of two parents and two teens loved our time at turtle Inn. We loved relaxing by the beach and the pool and the villa was amazing with space for both kids and parents and some spaces to relax and play games. We loved the restaurants! The kids favorite was the Woodfire pizza oven and the parents favorite was the fresh fish at the main restaurant. We loved the happy hour by the beach/pool and it was the most relaxed we’ve been in years. We loved the adventures where we went repelling down waterfalls, zip lining, and snorkeling in the coral reef. We also spent three nights at the sister resort in Blancaneaux in the mountains, which was highly recommended.

Another great time and stay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Second time to the Turtle Inn. Another fantastic time. Got upgraded by the friendly folks at the front desk. The villa was unbelievable! First class service by all of the staff. Can't remember all the names but a few I remember are Jimmy, Jonathon, Bamboo, Rooney. Food was excellent as expected. Try the pizza parlor on Sundays! Great snorkeling led by Marlin who was a blast. Lots of friendly people staying there also. The beach bar was our favorite hangout. Highly recommend!
