The space is beautiful, well-maintained, convenient for river trips to Lamanai and the staff is friendly and helpful. We sat out by the river some mornings and watched the birds fly by. It's a 20-25 minute walk into the center of town and Orange Walk feels very safe. There are a few little shops close by, but when you're there you feel like you're out away from it all. The bathrooms were very luxurious with a large shower (and hot water!). They also had blankets, which sounds like a small thing, but was a really nice touch for someone who loves a good heavy blanket to sleep under. There was a cute little porch with a bench where we could sit and watch the river. The aesthetics of the space were modern and clean with rustic touches. There's also a shuttle you can take in the morning into town to get breakfast or just to walk around.
Personally, I would skip the restaurant onsite. Our experience with Maracas was that there was a lot of confusion which meant that the food came out less than hot and at least an hour after we ordered it. From start to finish, we were there almost two hours and there was confusion around receiving the wrong bill and orders getting lost.
The Lamanai riverboat excursion is great. Very beautiful and the guide is extremely knowledgeable. Since it leaves from the property, its also very convenient and the food is great.
Also, the security guards who are around are hilarious and super friendly. Definitely one of my favorite parts about staying there. We never felt unsafe in Orange Walk, but it was nice to have someone around at night since it's so open and there's not really a "front desk" area because all of the guests stay in separate cabins. We got in late one night and he was waiting for us to make sure we made it in safely before he locked the gates. We talked a while about life in Orange Walk, our trip and his family. Good people. Really nice.
Overall, we had a great time and would recommend staying here.
