Our family of 5 spent 4 nights at Casa Santa Maria and we loved every minute! I was initially nervous about not having A/C and being so remote but it was perfect! Even with the heat of June we slept perfectly in the cool night air with night sounds of the jungle. I strongly suggest having meals at Lucy’s! Her food and hospitality was so special. Truly our favorite meals in Belize so far. You definitely need a 4x4 so don’t skip on that regardless of the cost! Plan activities near the home that way you minimize the long drives. We did the Jungle Pontoon Boat tour and it was amazing!! Jim answers all questions quickly and gives great recommendations. Definitely a top tier host! Casa Santa Maria is a perfect way to get deeply yet comfortably into nature! We loved it!
