We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Retreat and can't wait to come visit again. Staying by the river offers some great opportunities to observe the wild life and a large property that is safe and quiet compared to the busy city of Orange Walk. We had fun eating breakfast and watching the birds and crocodiles before doing a river tour to the Lamanai ruins. There is a lot of good authentic food in town and the on-site bar/restaurant is really good if you want to enjoy the peace and quiet. Raul and the family are always nearby if you need anything and full of great info about their beautiful jungle home.
