Wow!!!! I still cant get over how amazing this place really was!!! And for the price, it was something I would have expected to be at LEAST twice as much!! So beautiful, and romantic, Highly recommend for honey mooners!!!!!!!!! Me and my boyfriend spent two weeks in Belize, 10 days on the ocean, and 4 days in the jungle, and this lodge was definatly one of our favorite things!

We stayed in the Riverside Villa, and it was more beautiful than the pictures could ever show. All that space for two people, and its so secluded, you dont have to worry about anyone else being around!! It is a little bit of a climb to the main lodge, but I would say less than 10 mins to get there ( although it is a climb!!!!) And if you want, they will send a car to come get you as well, and that takes about the same amount of time. The privacy is worth it though!

The staff was some of the friendiest staff I have ever met. Always making sure everything was okay, helping, and recomending tours. We never even knew that someone was going to come in daily and clean our rooms, the did they 4 dishes that were in the sink, brought daily flowers and some food, and just tidied up all our mess!. I almost felt bad! And our last night there, they delieved the food to our house, so we had our own private candlelight supper, it was so romantic!

Like I said, the Villa is amazing, with your own private river spot in the back, and its sooo calming to hear it at night, and the insects too. We didnt find it too loud at all, but soothing. I mean you are in the jungle, what do you expect???

The only thing I would have to say was a negative, was all the insects. The first couple roaches, frogs, lizards, and scopions were a little of a shock to find in the house, but surprising, you got used to them. They are big enough, that they move slow! There were a couple of rips in the screens, so I think thats how they got in. You just tuck in your bed netting really tight at night, and its okay!

And actually another thing, is the road getting out there. I have never been on a worse road in my life. Bumpy, and long, but once you are there is it completly worth it!

I know bugs can be a bad thing, but I cant get over how wonderful it really was there. I highly recomment staying the Villa for a couple nights!!!

We did not stay at the lodge, we stayed at the villa near the lodge. The villa was absolutely beautiful. The beauty of the villa is hard to describe. See the website for Five sisters and look for the Riverside Villa tab. The villa was so roomy for just two people! You are isolated from the lodge, but the staff was extremely accommodating! Instead of walking to the lodge they would send someone to pick us up - anytime you wanted.
Getting to the lodge sucks! The dirt road drive (45 min. of nauseating rockiness) was awful. At night you were in complete darkness and bugs everywhere and we still enjoyed ourselves. This is a fabulous place to stay even if we were a little freaked out by the scorpion in the closet and the giant cicadas or grasshoppers at night. The river and the waterfall right outside your villa is more than amazing - thank goodness because the falls noise out did the bug noise. The cool water was great for swimming, especially close to the lodge and the 5 falls. Carlos, the manager, gave us a personal guided tour of the grounds and explained the perfect places to jump in from the rocks and where to hang out under the falls! Again, the staff was awesome!
The food at the lodge was so-so and a bit pricey. We had one meal delivered. In our refig we had boiled eggs, jam, a loaf of banana break, sandwich meat and condiments with a fresh loaf of bread - isn't that awesome!
We wished we had stayed longer to enjoy a relaxing day sitting in one of the many hammocks instead of taking a trip to Guatemala, but the arranged trip was awesome. The lodge arranged for just one other couple to join us on the trip. We had a well-spoken, very knowledgeable guide to walk us around Tikal!!! The drive was long, but the drivers were great. Any time you wanted to stop, they would do it and walk you around or whatever!

The Five Sisters was a great place to stay in the San Ignacio area. Right down the road from the fancy Blanceneax (spelling?) Lodge, the resort has some of the most beautiful views in the country. The grounds are well maintained, the cabanas are quaint and comfortable, and the staff is a pleasure! Nigel was eager to help us put together a trip to Tikal, and the trip was such an excellent value!

For under $100, the cabanas were well equipped, with more beautiful views, and a lot of space! There was some bugs at night, but you are in the jungle, and that was nothing unexpected. The food was decent.

All in all, the Five Sisters was a great experience. If you stay there, definately go on the excursions. They are GREAT!

A wonderful location overlooking the Five Sisters Falls and a superb location for day trips and activities.

We loved our stay here and the river down at the bottom of the hill was the perfect place to unwind.
