not really worth the price. The location of Pook's is really neat, as it is nestled in amongst the jungle with the great sounds of the birds. If you are driving in, the road is rough in spots and the final entrance onto the property is steep and bumpy. We had a SUV and were fine. We stayed in the... More

In our three weeks moving around Belize, this was our favourite place. The Lodge is in a fabulous setting, with the cabanas nicely spaced around the excavated Mayan ruins and the bar and dining area looking out across the jungle. The rooms are large, airy and comfortable, with big bathrooms and hot water from late afternoon onwards. Food was fantastic,... More

My husband and I took our second Adventure-Life holiday this past week, and were totally impressed with their choice of Jungle Rainforest Lodge in Belize. Pook's Hill is a perfect get-away with the most welcome and accommodating hosts, good food, charming cabins, and wildlife setting. Going to sleep under starry skies, and being awakened by the birdsong and howler monkeys,... More

We stayed at Pooks in March 2013 and had a great stay. The setting is incredible, right in the heart of the forest, and there is an endless array of bird life and animals to see here. It also happens to be really close to the ATM caves, which are a must see, and our guide (Hector) was fantastic. The... More

We spent six days here in March. Everything from staff,accomodations,food,and tours were excellent. We saw and learned so much! I would recommend this adventure vacation to anyone (already have). Special thanks to a wonderful lady, Vicky.

Just returned from 3 days here and it was a wonderful experience. I travelled with my husband and 2 sons. We really loved the place, excellent food, great activities, charming cabins, stunning grounds and superb service. You are greated with a cocktail and an introduction in the lovely lodge then left to explore,relax or socialize with the other guests. We... More

We cannot say enough about this wonderful lodge. The staff, the cabanas, the food, the birding, the tours are all top rate. Having an owner like Vicky on site engaged in the day-to-day operations and the care of visitors helps make you feel as if you really are in someone's home. The on-site managers, David and Cat, and the volunteer,... More

Mot mots hoot at dawn and soon a whole range of birds start singing in spite of a low cloud that shrouds the hillside. Much earlier, in the night, howler monkeys had made their territorial calls. The sounds of wildlife compliment the remarkable scene of the lodge and its cabanas set on a hillside around a Mayan site in a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pook's Hill and couldn't recommend it more highly. Beautiful rooms, grounds and the friendliest staff (under Ray's management at the time) made us feel very welcome. The main lodge, as has been described in a number of other reviews, is magnificent and the communal dining was very pleasant, delicious and plentiful. It provides a... More
