Our experience at Orchid Bay was fabulous start to finish. The casita is really lovely and well appointed and fit our family of 4 perfectly (our 2 college age kids slept in the loft and it worked out great).
We rented a car but truly, I think I’d either take the Orchid Bay shuttle or the flight to Corozal and then the Orchid Bay water shuttle if we come back. The jungle roads are really something to navigate!
The reef snorkeling trip was spectacular and was all arranged by Dave the on site manager ... as well as the river tour to the Lamanai ruins. It poured on us the entire to the ruins, and we still loved every minute! Nate, Orchid Bay’s boat captain and guide, was one of the finest guides we have ever experienced.
If you are looking for an off the beaten path piece of paradise, try this casita and resort. We loved our stay.
