We very much enjoyed our stay at Caves Branch and would highly recommend staying here. We came in the low season and were ugraded which was a lovely unexpected surprise.
The resort itself blew us away! The grounds are breathtaking. You're in the middle of the jungle surrounded by nature (monkeys and many birds).
Every SINGLE one of the staff members were friendly, proffesional, helpful, polite and attent. We very much enjoyed chatting with barman Rafael who made us delicious drinks and gave many good tips for our stay. P.s be sure to try the local rum drinks at only $3US!
We booked the river cave expedition tour. We can highly recommend this! It was a mix of tubing and cave exploring. We got lucky and ended up having a private tour as we were the only ones that signed up, we appreciated that the tour was still possible with just the two of us. Guide Ching was very knowledgeable on Maya History and the cave, he made our tour very enjoyable. We enjoyed a picnic style lunch INSIDE the cave with candles, amazing!!
Be sure to enjoy the complimentary botanical garden tour. If we had more time we would also have done the cheese tour.
A reviewer below mentioned the food is overpriced. Yes the food is pricier than local restaurants in town but VERY worth it! The dinner was around 26US and included three courses. We were seated on a table with other guests, this was a nice opportunity to meet new people. The dinner begun with a whole buffet of 'starter' foods including home made cheeses, breads, soup, salads, pasta and more. If you are not careful you can fill up on this alone :) This was followed by a buffet of main course foods: two types of meat/fish, coconut rice, different types of vegetables, potatoes etc. The dinner ended with two cakes. All delicious! The whole meal was a great experience. Breakfast was also good, we did not try lunch.
You can get complimentary tea and coffee all day. In the morning there were freshly baked chocolate chip cookies in various locations which were delicious.
We wish we would have booked more than two nights. Could easily have stayed a week or more! Would 100% stay here again if we return to Belize in the future.
