Our experience at Gaia was by far the most personalized of the 3 experiences we had in Belize and the staff made us feel like family during our stay. The property overall delivers the guest experience exactly as advertised. We felt bathed in casual luxury and naturally beautiful surroundings. We will happily recommend Gaia to anyone asking us about Belize in the future.

We are SO glad we decided to do a weekend at Gaia lodge on our trip. This was by far our favorite part of our trip to Belize. The amazing views, landscape, people, and the food made it an incredible five star experience. The team at Gaia is amazing and so accommodating and the food is incredible!!! A special thank you to Calbert who was our guide for our stay, Nigel was a great host, and Chris with the surprise magic show( it’s soooo worth asking to see it). We had a incredible stay and would recommend anyone to see this amazing lodge and area and we will definitely be back!

Gaia Riverlodge is the best place to stay if you want to stay in a peaceful, quiet place in the forest reserve of Belize. Accomodations are great, the view is breath-taking, being able to go swim at the waterfall just down the hill is a treat. The staff is lovely and extremely friendly and professional. We had such a relaxing time there. Cabanas are very private. There were a few guests on the propriety, but we never knew where others stayed as the cabanas are located away from each other. If you can't relax at Gaia Riverlodge, you just can't relax!.. We would love to go back some day.

What an extraordinary experience in the jungle. The views the accommodations the wonderfully sweet people the food, everything is extraordinary. We were completely enveloped by views, waterfalls, Forest, mountains, and beautiful service. The trips in the jungle, canoeing in ancient Mayan caves, swinging on the swing through the trees, zip lining canoeing, everything was out of this world

Our family enjoyed 3 wonderful nights at GAIA after staying at their sister property Matachica. We loved the difference between the two properties. Our days were filled with tours, Barton Creek, zip lining, Caracol and Rio On Cave and Pools. Our afternoons and nights were for relaxing and enjoying this amazing property! Sunsets were breathtaking and the food and drinks delicious! This is the perfect place to disconnect from the world! The staff was fantastic! Rudy, our tour guide, was GREAT!!!! He is so knowledgable about the history of Belize. A big thank you to all the staff that made our trip extra special...Niguel, Chris, and Freddy!

Gaia Riverlodge is simply exquisite. The complex is gorgeous, overlooking a waterfall that is really something to see. We stayed in the Riverside Villa, a bungalow that is below the falls and quite private and remote. It was decorated in a beautiful and charming fashion with art and textiles from Belize. The food is quite good with an imaginative menu and creative cocktails. The manager Nigel has done a wonderful job of training his staff. They are all very gracious and committed to giving you a wonderful stay.
