My wife and I went to Gaia Riverlodge for our honeymoon. We arrived with the highest expectations for the resort, the room, the food, and the adventures they had planned for us, and Gaia Riverlodge EXCEEDED ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS! The Lodge: The lodge sits on a beautiful property on the edge of a small valley overlooking a tranquil river that... More

This was my second stay at Gaia Riverlodge and this place continues to exceed expectations. The property is beautiful, the grounds covered in immaculate flower gardens and tropical trees, the cabanas (all just renovated with new bathrooms and tropical hardwood floors) are the perfect place to experience the Belize Rain-Forest. The restaurant and bar provide excellent service and gorgeous views... More

Gaia was the best way to start our trip. The accommodations were immaculate. We loved hearing the waterfall in the background as we slept in our cozy Waterfall View Cabana. The staff really made us feel at home and that anything and everything we needed was just a simple easy request. They packed us a delightful cooler with beer, guacamole,... More

If you are looking for a truly relaxing and quiet "unplugged" getaway and don't mind traveling a good distance into the beautiful and remote jungle area, this is the place for you. Oswald, Yasser, Javier and Troy provided the best service we've ever experienced. While it is quite a drive on some dirt roads, it is located in a pretty... More

Did I mention WOW? Our stay here was unBelizable. From the time we drove onto the property until the time we checked out, the service we received was second to none. The staff were fabulous, exceeding our expectations constantly. When discussing our wake up time for the next day, our server offered to stop by our cabana in the morning... More

As this was our first trip to Belize we decided to split our time between the interior part of the country and the beach. We came across Gaia via one of my colleagues and decided that this was the right fit for us as it would allow us to unwind, relax and also explore some nearby Mayan ruins. The hotel... More

Staying there a couple nights makes you feel at home after your first or second night stay. I recommend Gaia to anyone who is looking for a reasonable retreat... More

This was our first time in Belize and we were excited to stay in the forest for the first few nights. Althought the drive to the hotel was quite bumpy, it was well worth it. The rooms are gorgeous and the staff amazing. I would highly recommed this place and hope to visit again. We stayed in both a waterfall... More

We were looking to start our honeymoon in Belize away from the crowds and the beach. Driving for a couple hours through the countryside and then up and down bumpy dirt roads, we weren't quite sure what we had gotten ourselves into. Arriving at Gaia, however, we realized that we had reached some sort of paradise. The grounds are beautifully... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Gaia for three nights in a waterfall view room which was a well appointed private thatched roof bungalow....very romantic! The staff was friendly and attentive and arranged for all of our needs. We toured Caracol and the Barton Creek Cave with Virgil who was friendly and knowledgeable in local history and Mayan culture.
