The location is spectacular. However, the accomodation leaves much to be desired and will bother travellers who are used to what one would consider an acceptable standard of accomodation. Food was satisfactory, but the dining environment needs attention. Rusticity is fine, but the operation seems to be in need of a serious injection of capital in order to upgrade it to an acceptable standard.

the "indiana jones" style hikes kept me on my toes and relaxing in the hammocks helped put me to sleep each night. one of my best holidays to date! I highly recommend this resort to anyone of any walk of life. I had the time of my life. the accommodations, the food and the people of the mamanoots resort are the best! family owned and operated for 10 years and with two gorgeous american girls helping their mother out, it's not what you'd expect to find in the middle of the jungle. what a treat!

Heaven on earth! After an eventful day, a great meal, story telling and tons of laughs the cool mountain air coached me into a very splendid sleep. My alarm clock was the sound of at least thirty diferent types of birds. After listening to these wide range of beautiful sounds, I stepped outside and witnessed an early "rush hour". All these different birds were traveling in different directions at ammazing speed - and there were no collisions. I did not notice anyone directing the traffic. There was no road rage. The constant array of sounds and movements of the birds was a wonder I still savour with relish. The food at Mama Noots is great. The kitchen and the bar are among my top favorite locations. I will be back in August of this year!

Gosh, can it get better? The price is right, and it sits on the Northern baorder of the CocksComb.. there are ruins, waterfalls, miles of trails, and
the price is right. Get a 4x4 and combine it with time on the beach- like
in Placencia (avoid the nasty bugs of Dangriga and Hopkins- get to Placencia).... We see more birds, and amazing wildlife at this inexpensive
and well run lodge than anywhere else in Belize... just drive until the
road ends... great place.. bring the family, they will love it!! And the
prices are RIGHT!!!
