Orange Walk District Hotels

Chan Chich Lodge

It’s a long drive though the jungle to get there, but it’s a pretty drive and I’d say it’s worth it. Chan Chich is located on a beautiful private reserve, with lot of great hiking. Most of the people we met there were serious bird watchers so if your into birding this is the place to go. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and the food was great. It was a little expensive, but you felt like you were eating a gourmet meal every night. Although we never saw one, everyone we talked to in Belize said that this is the best place to see a big cat.

Unique Quality: The trails and wild life are really outstanding. Every evening and morning you hear the howler monkeys as if they were outside your door. There are also some unexcavated ruins right on the grounds, which are pretty neat.
