We were exploring the mainland of Belize to learn more about the country and came across Orchid Bay. We decided to stay without knowing too much about the area. Pernell and David were kind, helpful and beyond accommodating. You couldn’t ask for a better owner and on site manager. We took a boat tour up a river to Lamanai at David’s suggestion. It was great. He arranged everything. We saw tons of birds, hawks, night owls, bats, monkeys, crocodiles and 2000+ year old ruins. The Orchid Bay grounds are immaculate, flowers and greenery manicured and maintained to the nines. The casitas are cute and have a flair of the country. There is a restaurant / bar / gift shop on site with an infinity pool. Locals hang out there and are fun to talk to and hear their stories. Again, if you are looking for quiet and remote this is the place for you.
