Loved the property! Only issues we had were the inconvenience of the restaurant's operating hours and the parking is a bit far. Besides that, the grounds are well maintained and very beautiful! I would definitely go back and recommend!

We spent our honeymoon here and loved it. There is beautiful hikes, pool, river, and Mountain View’s everywhere you look. We arrived late and they left us flowers in our room. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but it was amazing! Already planning when we can go back. Beautiful location, friendly staff and surrounded by nature. We did the horseback riding tour with Cesar and really enjoyed it, all the horses were super well behaved and riding through the mountains was a dream come true.

This place was magical. My only recommendation would be to invest in an app that provides a map of the entire resort, this would make it easier to navigate the premises. The WiFi services could also be better, but I assume the point is to disconnect. All in all it was amazing.

We received a warm reception and a room upgrade during for our 3 nights stay. The location was ideal for either traveling West (Cayo) or South (Stann Creek). The property is gorgeously maintained. The room was absolutely lovely. Only complain was we had no hot water for showers a night and reported it. Front desk told me I shouldn't open the faucet all the way but it did not help. When I told them, it was like "oh well". The next morning, the water was still cold and I had to walk to reception, after which they sent someone. Turned out to be an electrical problem. We enjoyed a breakfast there and take away dinner. Both were good. It was so quiet and relaxing, with the sounds of nature and a small creek out front of the cottage. I would recommend this property and definitely stay there again.

What a lovely unique hotel. We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The only negative was it is far away from everything so your only dining choices are their 2 restaurants. The prices were very high for dining. The main restaurant I ordered shrimp and received 3 tiny shrimp for $44 usd. The pizza place had excellent wood fired pizza! But each pizza was the size of a medium and was $34 usd each. There were 2 of us and we needed 2 pizzas as they are thin crust. So $68 usd for 2 medium pizzas. Yikes! Other than that the staff was beyond helpful and informative. Our room was huge with a very comfortable bed.

Staff were all amazing, so friendly and helpful. Our creekside cottage was perfect, the bed was comfy, loved the outdoor tub, and even had our own nespresso machine!! Tours were a little pricey so in all honesty, some we booked ourself. Loved our mayan cooking class and excursions through Upsidedown Tours, which the lodge introduced us to, hats off to them especially kevin and orlin!! A beautiful stay. You won't be disappointed. They seem to have booking sales too, so check and see.

This place is absolutely amazing and even better than I expected! After one day at Sleeping Giant I was already planning a return trip. The rooms are beautiful and have AC strong enough to counteract the hot and humid jungle climate. Arguably even better than the rooms were the amazing grounds which had tons of activities - including kayaking, swimming in the river or at the gorgeous pool, hiking on trails through the jungle, walking across hanging bridges, horse back riding, climbing a giant tree house, and more. We were never bored and honestly struggled between whether to go on the excursions or to spend more time enjoying the property at the resort. With respect to dining, the food at both of the restaurants was fabulous every single meal. Everything we had was amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegan and vegetarians options offered. Everyone at the resort was so incredibly friendly. There are so many people to thank for our excellent stay but we especially enjoyed talking to Eileen at the Grove and Dorris, who facilitated all of our excursions. In sum, I can't imagine a better place to stay!
