Black Rock Lodge

Incredible place. In the thick of the jungle overlooking the river, you really feel a part of nature. We loved going for a swim in the river or pool before or after our activities. The staff are very friendly and organising activities is so easy, you can just decide the day before and tell them at the restaurant. The food is also fantastic, with great breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Overall Black Rock is just a fantastic experience and well worth it

The grounds are lovely.

Outstanding, well run lodge. If you enjoy nature, especially tropical jungle birds, this is the place for you. Short distance to several ancient Mayan cities (we visited Tikal and Xuhantunic) all seamlessly arranged by the lodge. The staff are friendly and courteous. Highly recommend Black Rock Lodge.

We stayed at Black Rock in September "slow season" but the stay was just as incredible if not better than high season. The staff were great and attentive. Everyone from the bar staff, kitchen, grounds keeping, Fernando (excursions & bird expert), House Keeping etc.. At points we essentially had the place to ourselves, and were well taken care of. Also, if your at all hesitant in booking because its a bit further out than some of the places in town dont be! Its worth it... Your immersed in the jungle, right on the river and the road was recently re-paved so its a breeze getting there now. No long bumpy road rides.

Beautiful jungle lots of birds awesome food. Great staff and guides we had a wonderful time

The lodge is located about 45 minutes from the city of San Ignacio. Located deep within the jungle, BRL offers a tranquil escape into nature. You will wake up to the sounds of tropical birds chirping and the smell of the jungle air. There are insects even within the cabins which would be difficult to avoid as you are in the jungle. While the food selection was limited to the only restaurant on the resort, it was delicious and varied, bringing home the concept from farm to table. Tours to the popular attractions can be organized on site with transport. While they weren't cheap, they correspond more or less to the market price.

We enjoyed BRL immensely. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! 1 person in our party was disappointed in the lack of air conditioning but the rest of the party of 6 found it find with the ceiling fans fine. Birds, rope swing and tubing was the highlights of our stay. We had 3 kids and 4 adults.

Individual cabins are so cute and tastefully decorated, I loved the patio with hammocks! They birdwatching was unparalleled and I really enjoyed the night walk as well! Fernando did a awesome job guiding us down the river and spotting new birds and wildlife. All of the food was delicious, so nice that they grow a good portion of their food. Can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this place. My husband‘s big complaint was no air-conditioning but hey, we are out in the rain forest, I didn’t want any solid walls separating us from nature.

Black Rock is amazing! Staff is fantastic, grounds are amazing, and the guides whobtake youbon excursions are incredible! I highly recommend! Birding and wildlife was abounding!

The staff were fantastic - the perfect level of friendliness and helpfulness. Many activities in the area to keep things interesting.
