Amazing experience for family of 4 with two small kids. Loved visiting with the hosts, great day on the lake, amazing horseback riding and wonderful food. We stayed in the garden cabana, which was great with kids. We cannot wait to go back and visit again

Property's Favorite Review
First of all I want to thank Joe and Miriam to opening up their wonderful escape for us. This eco adventure hideaway is a gem located a short drive away from San Ignacio. Your adventure starts off with your drive to get there which although extremely bumpy adds to beauty once you arrive. Joe (the owner) actually picked us up from the airport and on the way stopped at Xunatunich (Maya ruins) and gave us a magnificent tour. If you don't want to drive in Belize which we chose not to do I would recommend contacting them to pick you up from the airport it was awesome to learn about the country from your very own guide on the way to and from our stay. We stayed in the tree house for two nights. The property itself is beautiful. Miriam treated us to wonderful meals and the location offered us the ability to explore ATM and the property itself offers horseback riding, pontooning to waterfalls as well as another caving adventure. Please note that the tree house has 0 electricity and running water and you sleep under a mosquito net as the house is completely open air and actually, we really didn't even notice any bugs (January) . There are candles in the tree house, and it is set over an unbelievable waterfall which offered natural air conditioning. We were lulled to sleep by the water and awoke to the sound of howler monkeys in the morning. We were lucky enough to even see a group of them. The owners were great to chat with and provided us with a truly wonderful eco adventure experience in the interior of Belize. We hope to bring our kids back as it would be perfect for families with the friendly dogs, horses, and kitties! Thanks again Miriam and Joe!!…

My family and I stayed in the treehouse. Loved it. We were along a creek with a small waterfall making it very relaxing and an excellent night sleep. The hammocks below were another way of just mellowing out. Miriam and Jo were wonderful and very accommodating. We were arrived 3 1/2 hours late (after dark) into Belize City. Joe was still there waiting for us. We arrived at 1030p and Miriam had made dinner for us. Food was fantastic with homemade tortillas. We did several excursions with Joe. Joe was very knowledgeable and made it fun. Thank you for an amazing adventure with my adult kids.

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids age 6 & 9) stayed in the Family Suite at Martz farm for three nights in February 2023 as part of a longer vacation in Belize. Of the different places we stayed, Martz Farm was our favourite. The family suite included two large rooms, each with an extra large king bed and two twin beds, as well as a separate bathroom that was for our private use. We chose to stay in one room all together. The room was simply furnished, the beds were comfortable, and the room was clean and tidied daily for us. The shower had consistent hot water (an exceptional luxury based in our experience elsewhere in Belize). There was wifi. Meals were served centrally, and guests generally chatted to each other during mealtimes. There were about 10 guests including us while we were there. Miriam made an effort to make sure my picky children had food choices that worked for them, while serving delicious local and western style meals to those with a more refined palette. While at the farm, Joe took us on his double decker pontoon boat and we spent the day exploring some special secret spots he discovered as a child exploring the jungle with his brothers - I won’t spoil the experience for you by sharing details but I will say it was a very special and memorable experience. We swam in the water, and had a delicious BBQ on the boat. Joe also took our family horse back riding - neither kid had ever been on a horse before but we managed a steep jungle trek adventure. Joe chose horses that made sense for our dispositions and abilities, and we felt safe under his care. My son said it was the best thing he had EVER done (now tied with snorkelling at the Belizean barrier reef). For my kids, that the farm had SIX DOGS, made the place especially special. Each of them quickly bonded to a dog and they were inseparable during our time there. My older son played soccer for hours with Luna (our ball survived but I make no promises for yours) and my younger played fetch and snuggled with Tunco. The property has a jungle trail and a nice swimming hole. There were very few mosquitoes and the nights were cool enough to sleep comfortably. Some of the other guests had been making annual visits for 20 years and the place had a real sense of community and belonging. Martz Farm was a great choice for us and we’d like to visit again. I would recommend for those travelling with kids to bring some fruit and other snacks for between meals, and for all to be prepared for a slow drive from Benque (the road could really use a grader). Thanks Miriam and Joe for your care and hospitality and for being such a memorable part of our vacation.…

I didn’t use the lodging at Martz farm, but I did the half day horseback ride with 3 friends and it was absolutely fantastic. Joe is so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He took us to what seem like the truest remote and beautiful spots in the jungle. We went at sunset and arrived at the tallest peak just in time for a breathtaking view. Although I’m sure it’s picture perfect all times of the day. The road is long to get there and we were nervous our rental car would make it and I would do it again in a heartbeat to hang out with joe on a horse for the day. We would absolutely stay at Martz farm for a few nights on our next trip to Belize - the food being prepared when we returned smelled amazing. We wish we would have arranged for a meal before leaving. The only reason I won’t post pictures in this review is because you absolutely have to discover these views on your own. I don’t want to spoil the magic. …

A definite highlight of our 2 week trip in Belize We spent 2 nights at Martz Farm in the Treehouse with our 2 children (12 & 16). The Martz family (Joe and Miriam, together with sons Lucas and Joshua) are a delight. Joe is a farmer, mechanic and spoken word poet/conservationist. Miriam is a kind, hardworking and a fabulous cook. Lucas took us on a thrilling horseback ride through the mountains and jungles and the next day on a pontoon boat on the Macall river system. Lucas has eagle eyes so we saw crocodiles, monkeys, birds as well we climbed and swam in magnificent waterfalls. Also delightful is just to hang out in the family property, to see the views and cavort with their many friendly dogs and cats. Highly recommended for an impactful experience you won't soon forget.

Staying at the farm was the highlight of our family's trip to Belize. We stayed in the treehouse for 2 nights enjoying the sites and sounds of the surrounding forests in a clean and comfortable environment. Our 1/2 day horse back ride offered spectacular views of the surrounding hillsides and during our tour of the Macal River via pontoon boat we saw crocodiles, iguanas, hawks, snakes, turtles and hiked waterfalls! Special thanks to Lucas for taking great care and being so knowledgeable!! Joe and Mariam are excellent hosts. The food was delicious and plentiful, a note have a new found love of beans. Thank you Joe for sharing your poetry with us. I wish I had recorded and will wait for your book of poems. The only downside to our time there is that it was too short.

Staying with the Martinez family was a great decision, too bad it was too short. Miriam is a wonderful host and chef. Joe is an an amazing poet and loves to share his knowledge of the Maya and the environment. We stayed in the treehouse and it was such an experience, we swam in their stream, had a blast exploring waterfalls and the river on the boat tour, and loved the half day horse ride. The animals are well cared for, and the scenery is spectacular. Oh and Miriam’s cooking is scrumptious. Totally recommend for those who want a true jungle experience.

I placed Joe first in the subject title because he made the pontoon adventure a day to remember. He is the definition of a pure sole. With humour, poetry and heartfelt conversation, the vistas of the river and falls made for a day to remember. The farm is lovely with friendly dogs, happy cows and horses that are clean and well cared for. We had an early dinner prepared by Joe's wife - "Master Chef" Miriam. It was a thoughtful and delicious presentation of vegetarian food. We would have eaten on the farm everyday had we stayed at the lodge or close by. All in all, I would highly recommend a day experience with Martz Farm tours.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Martz Farm. We stayed in the Treehouse and breathed in fresh air all night after being lulled to sleep by the stream and waterfall that the treehouse is built over. We were fed three delicious meals a day cooked by Miriam and taken on three different excursions by Joe. We had fun chatting with Miriam after dinner and learned so much from Joe. He had so much valuable knowledge about the Mayan ruins and has even taken part in excavating them. He has found several Mayan artifacts and has made his own discoveries. We were able to ride to a cave that only Joe takes people to, we really felt connected with the Mayan people after learning so much about them. Miriam keeps everything super clean and their boys help take care of the farm. We highly recommend staying with the Martinez family and can't wait to return with our kids. I really loved how they took care of every detail. It was super nice for me to not have to worry about anything our entire stay. The pontoon boat excursion was really fun and the cave tubing was super relaxing and they do it all!…
