This a great place to stay in Orange Walk and as a base for tours into northern Belize. Orlando and Cindy together with their staff made our stay unforgettable. Everybody made us feel like guests of the family. The location on the bank of the river is unbeatable and you have all the amenities you need. The food in the restaurant was amazing and it gives plenty of opportunity for interaction with locals. The Lamanai tour is a must and we would recommend to do it right from Orlando’s place. They did a great job maintaining the property during the COVID-19 pandemic and addressing the Belize Gold Standard requirements.
We definitely will stay at El Gran Mestizo again when we return to Northern Belize. Do not miss talking to Orlando and his staff as they know Belize very well and will give you a lot of tips.
