If I could give 6 stars I would. From the moment we arrived and even before our arrival the staff was proactive and attentive. It was my husbands birthday and they decorated the room and had a table in the restaurant decorated for us with a cake. My mother in law stayed with us and they converted the living room sofa to a bed. The food was great with cheese made on property abd vegetables from their own garden. You truly feel like you are staying in a jungle oasis. We will definitely be back.

I will definitely stay here again! We stayed as a family of 4 with younger kids (5 and 7). All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. They were very helpful in booking adventures and making the experience kid friendly and memorable. I loved waking up to jungle noises, seeing beautiful birds and iguanas and being immersed in the jungle while also having the comforts of on site electricity and drinkable water. The food at the resort restaurant was also excellent.

This is an exceptional resort. We stayed in the Mahogany cabana and it exceeded our expectations. It backed the river and was so pretty. The restaurant overlooks the river and is beautiful. The goat cheese platter was one of my favorite items on the menu. They make their own cheese. Be sure to visit their farm. We toured the Mayan ruins and also did the river tubing tour. We had a great time!

The propery is beautiful - so many plants and flowers and birds. I loved that the room was its own building with a deck looking over the river and hearing and seeing the jungle birds and creatures. The morning coffee and snack basket at the door was a delight. We thoroughly enjoyed our facials at the yoga deck, the bird watching walk and the food and drinks! Everyone is kind, caring, responsive and helpful. The resort is very ecofriendly - growing food and herbs onsite, encouraging re-usable water bottles, making their own cheese. It felt good to be part of that! Thanks again for a fantastic stay. This was my second time there - hoping to continue the tradition!

We loved our stay at Mystic River! Beautiful resort, lots to do one site, close to town and so much to do in this area of Belize.

The people here are so kind and friendly. We felt safe and well taken care of. The food was good, but needs a little improvement. The accommodations were great. We stayed 4 nights and on the last day, we had a few bug problems which were quickly resolved. After all it is the jungle. The ability to kayak on the river and the view of the river was great. Hiking around the place was fun as well. I would recommend this place for sure.
