I am sitting at the parrot nest now. My wife and I are on our honeymoon and the rooms are sectioned away from one another so they are private. Omg, the food is great, healthy portions to fill you up after a long day of jungle adventures. Free wifi gives me the ability to write from the lounge area that... More

...lies Parrot Nest. The drive involves a long dirt path enmeshed in tumbling leaves and winding vines. It's a bit of a drive through thick forestry and if at any point you are unsure whether you are headed in the right direction, friendly reminders are tacked onto trees for reassurance. You finally pull up to a circular lot headed by... More

We only stayed a night at Parrot Nest but for those with more time, it would be a great place to base yourself for a trip to the San Ignacio region. The grounds are beautiful and right by the river - we saw kingfishers, vultures, the melodious blackbird and a woodpecker all in the grounds. At night, the sounds of... More

I stayed for two nights at the beginning of my Belize trip in mid-March, and still regret that we didn't just stay the whole week. The lodgings were rustic, no more so than we'd anticipated, but comfortable and inviting; we stayed in a ground-floor cabana, which still felt very treehouse-ey: jungle birds and frogs in chorus at dawn and twilight,...

I stayed for 5 nights in mid-March, and booked based on a recommendation from a friend. I was traveling alone and stayed 2 nights in the treehouse and 3 nights in a ground floor cabana. Both are perfectly nice, with a shared bathroom just steps away, and the beds were super comfy. I'll confess I didn't take advantage of the... More

I stayed here for a week... More

Great location on the river-close to town but away from the downtown noise. $1 collective taxi will drive you in to town. Thao and her family were extremely helpful w/making sure you were comfortable, booking future travel plans/rooms for you, and tours for in the area. Free access to intertubes for floating down the river-great rope swings for jumping in... More

In the days prior to paddling the La Ruta Maya River Challenge, my teammates and I stayed at "the Nest". We needed some down time to relax and prepare for our grueling race so we chose this conveniently located jungle lodge. It was close to town which made race preparations easy. The meals were excellent and the hosts went above... More
