Beautiful spot and great access to ATM cave. Only thing to be aware of is the prices at the restaurants are in US dollars not Belizian as they are in most places. We were quite surprised when we received our check out bill, as it was double what we thought we would pay.

This resort is a slice of paradise. The employees made it heaven. They went out of their way every day to make us feel welcomed and as a vegan, had zero issues making nearly all my meals while I was there 4 days! The resort was super quiet, blended with nature perfectly, and met every need. Must do tours are Tikal and ATM cave, but be warned ATM requires physical ability to scramble huge rocks and is not for the claustrophobic.

We had a lovely stay. The staff were excellent. The only things I would suggest is that the room could benefit from a heated towel rail as towels didn’t dry very quickly. Also a tea making facility would be nice.

Memorable 5 night stay at Mystic River. The staff made every day, every meal, every drive, every tour special and pleasant. We toured Xunantunich and Tikal and allowed days to relax at resort. The jungle offered quiet peace. Very eco-friendly! Thank you all!

The resort itself is located about 30min away from the hustle and bustle of San Ignacio and its situated right along the Macal River which made for perfect water sounds in the mornings and at night. You’ll hear birds chirping, and it’s just so peaceful. The staff can organize rides for you to go anywhere you like, and the food at the restaurant is amazing!
