First, my qualification: I have been rock climbing and backpacking for over 20 years, and have taught over 100 friends to climb and rappel, without injury or incident, because I practice Outdoor Safety like Kaizen -“continuous quality improvement”. So – when I say that I was favorably impressed with how IACB guides set up a 280 foot rappel and gave... more

My wife and I took our two granddaughters, ages 10 and 13 to Belize during spring break the fourth week in March 2009. Knowing virtually nothing about Belize except for the glowing reviews of many who have been there during the past few years, we committed to 7 days in advance. We wanted some independence so we rented a car... more

i will preface that i went to caves branch for 2 nights 3 days in mid january. i was amongst two couples, who after going to thatch caye for 5 nights, went here before heading back home. the trips are what make this hotel unique and one-of-its-kind. (everyone will tell you that.) we took one trip: the overnight black hole... more

What a great place! This would have been perfect if it hadn't been for all the construction that was going on while we were there. They were working on the future swimming pool, hot tub and visitors center from early morning (6:30) until late afternoon (4:30). Since our trips, and most of the others returned anywhere between 12:30 and 2:30,... more

Great Jungle resort - couldn't say enough good things about the quality of the room (stayed in the Jungle tree house), food, service. The staff is super helpful, friendly, and you can't go wrong here. We did cave tubing, horseback riding and river kayaking. The trips are fine - but a bit pricy for what you get. If you have... more

AWESOME! That’s the only word to describe the place. We had search through TripAdvisor and settled on it because of several wonderful reviews. Caves Branch is paradise. We were warmly greeted by the staff and with my new favorite drink – Rum Punch. We had a 3-night all-inclusive package in a Tree House Suite; a must if you go as... more

Where to begin is the question really. The place is awesome, beautiful, and so cool. We were after a unique experience and we got way more than we bargained for. The adventures they can arrange for you are unreal, the guides are more than competent, they are so informed and eager it makes the trips even better...it must be said,... more

We did the 3-night package and stayed in one of their treehouse suites. The room was excellent, and pretty high class considering you're in the jungle. I would recommend spending the extra money for the treehouse. Comfort has extra value after a day in the jungle. Meals are family style, which is great. We met some wonderful people, and the... more

The adventures were great and the guides were fantastic! We weren't prepared for the "summer camp" experience though. We paid a lot of money to stay in a nice unit, but found the front area staff to not be very friendly or accommodating. We really did love meeting new people at dinner and on the excursions, but we felt like... more
