One man’s rustic is another man’s luxury seems to be the collective theme in reviews here. Those who were disappointed apparently expected more palatial infrastructure with sophisticated food and service. If you are reading wondering how you will feel about LOL, I suggest examining your motivation for visiting Belize. If you are mainly seeking “resort life,” I think you are... More

We stayed at Lamanai Outpost Lodge for 3 nights in April 2013. We loved it! Where to start....... We opted to arrive from Belize to Lamanai by river boat. We highly recommend this. A super fast boat speeding along and sweeping around the sharp bends in the river was great fun!! Very "James Bond"! The cabins were very basic, thatched... More

My wife and I spent 3 nights at Lamanai Outpost Lodge in early April. Go to their website to see all the things you can do there. We loved the restaurant, the grounds, cottages and the staff. Sandy, Raul, George, Blanca....modest, insightful, helpful...fantastic. Don't miss the ruins! And staying at the outpost you can get there way before all the... More

This is our repeat birding trip to Belize but it is the first time staying at Lamanai Outpost. When we went birding in Belize last year, we spent too much time driving on the “full-of-potholes” dirt road to Lamanai Archeology Site; by time we arrived at the archeological site, it was late morning and we missed the prime time for...

My two teenage sons and I went to Lamanai Outpost Lodge for our first stop in Belize. We were picked up at the airport, driven in a very nice van to the boat dock and then traveled about 1.5 hours up the New River to the lodge. Saw crocodiles, a jabaru and hundreds of other birds on our trip up... More

First off the one thing I wish was different was the chairs on the deck of the unit - wish we could have moved them, but that is fine. We did most of the tours and really enjoyed them. The staff is very happy and helpful. The food is amazing and good sized servings. I wished I had know about... More

First of all we were coming from the Lodge at Chaa Creek, so we had been spoiled. The boat ride to the Outpost Lodge was fantastic, lots of birds and water lilies. The setting of the Lodge is beautiful, our cabana had a lagoon view, but it was dark. We had a nice veranda with a hammock, but the outdoor... More

This is truly the place to get away from it all. It takes a one hour ride up the winding river in a speed boat to get there, almost a James Bond experience. No TV, no radio, no mobile/cellphone, intermittent WiFi internet, limited electricity, lots of jungle (but there is a "road" out the back to a small village). Now... More

Even though I was on business, this place is an escape from reality like no other. The location must be traveled to by boat (if you can). To get the entire expereince of arriving at sundown and checking in. Nestled by the river, you wake up to stunning views and it seems to keep cooler at the lodge. The staff... More

We started our 11-day Belize adventrue at Lamani. The boat trip from Tollbridge to the lodge was in a downpour that lasted the whole time. Of course, the rain stopped as the boat pulled up to the dock where a staff member was waiting for us and took us immediately to our cabana and big towels to wrap ourselves in... More
