What an awesome experience at Mystic River! After researching several places to stay in the Belizean jungle, my girlfriend, friends, and I decided on this one. The staff went above and beyond for our stay, even throwing a thought out surprise dinner for our friend’s bday. Steve, Leo, Sylvia, and Darwin were top notch and provided both great service and a wonderful experience with conversation and suggestions. The ambiance was everything we were hoping for and love the secluded jungle environment. Would highly recommend booking any tours through them as well, especially the ATM one which exceeded all expectations. Thank you Mystic River!! 10/10

My wife and I stayed a few here for our 10 year anniversary and absolutely loved it! The staff was great and very helpful, our room and the adjoining private plunge pool were clean and well built, the restaurant was amazing, the facilities were well cared for. Definitely will be coming back next time we visit Belize! The tours and massages were also very good! Would recommend!

It was exactly what the Dr ordered: peaceful, quiet, serene, tucked right in the jungle with nature. Couldn’t get enough. Almost cried when we had to leave. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing stay in San Ignacio!

Our stay at the Mystic River resort was fantastic. We stayed for 5 nights and I am glad that we were there for that amount of time. There are so many great activities to do in the area and we used the lodge as a base. We spend 1 day doing local activities and relaxing in the lodge. Highly recommend their tours as they are flexible and private. We just booked the night before. The restaurant is fantastic! I highly recommend the lodge as a place to decompress and enjoy nature.

This was an amazing property and we had a wonderful time. It is off the beaten path. There is no air conditioning so when it is sweltering it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. We had plenty of fans and slept with all the windows open.

Mystic River Resort feels like you are staying in the Congo with an amazing staff, food, drinks, and rooms. The rooms do not have AC so we recommend staying here in the winter/spring unless you are used to the humid heat. The excursions available all around are awesome! And the food/drinks within town are amazing and CHEAP! We will definitely be back to the resort in the winter for a cooler experience as we see more temples.

This is a beautiful property and the staff were wonderful. The dining on the property was really good as well. You can book all excursions through them. Drinkable tap water was nice. Beautiful rooms and property. Please keep in mind you are in the jungle so big beetles/bugs can make it into your room. You Also can be woken up in the middle of night by loud animal noises. I thought it made the experience pretty cool but it did freak me out the first time. Would recommend and stay here again.
