This place is SPECTACULAR!!! The pictures really don't do it justice (the beauty and details of the house or the view!). Our family spent most of the time on the deck - listening to the sounds of birds and monkeys in the morning and in the evening. The fact that there is a covered portion (to get out of the rain or sun and still be outside) and an uncovered portion (so you can sit out and see the stars at night) is truly ideal.
Note - when they say 4 Wheel Drive is needed to get to the place, they mean it! It's not a scary road to drive at all (no driving on the sides of cliffs or anything like that!) but there are some fairly steep parts and the 4 Wheel Drive helps load with some of the more rocky parts. Personally, I loved the drive. It was wonderful to see some of the mountain countryside, the different flora and fauna and to really have the opportunity to get into the mountains and not just near them.
Dean and Jacqui are also fabulous hosts!! We had all the clear information we needed to get to the lodge, they responded quickly to the few questions we had and they are super friendly!
If you want to see the mountains and soak in nature, book this place!!
Oh - and we even did day trips out to see Xunantunich, El Pilar and Cahal Pech. So while it's up in the mountains, you are not too far away to enjoy the local sites, too!
