Gaia Riverlodge

Extraordinary connection to the forest and the flowers and the waterfalls! Delicious and memorable dinner! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel special! Truly filled our souls we cannot wait to return thank you!

We loved it at Gaia! Already want to come back!

We stayed for three nights at the end of June and loved every minute. The food was fresh and delicious, with ingredients straight from the on-site gardens. Service was warm and attentive, and the location couldn’t be better—peaceful but close to fun activities. The hotel arranged a cave kayaking tour that was a standout experience. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with great beds and a strong, hot shower. It was hot during the day but cooled off nicely at night, and we had no rain. I also spotted and heard over 20 bird species right on the property and along their private trail—perfect for nature lovers. Getting there was easy with airport pickup/drop-off, good roads, and a smooth ride. On the way back (Saturday), we passed tons of locals enjoying BBQs, which added a fun cultural touch. The friendly resident puppy made the stay even more special—leading little tours and making us feel at home. Highly recommend!

Location

One room was next to the monorail - although not frequently used, it was v noisy so would opt for an alternative if I’d had the choice again

Staff was excellent. Beautiful location. Clean

Gaia is incredible. Perfectly secluded with amazing views, food, and staff. The staff was top notch - Demor with his talented mixology, Javier as an attentive server, and Kobi at the front desk ready to help with anything needed. The tours were amazing as well - we did Barton Creek with Rick, and then Caracol with Randolph. 10/10. We did the Reef and Rainforest package (Gaia and Matachica).

We LOVED Gaia Riverlodge! It could not have been more perfect. The people, the setting, the guides, the food, the cabanas, the service -- everything was exceptional. I've stayed at a lot of nice places but I think Gaia is my new all-time favorite.

This experience was breathtaking. We came for only 1 night on our trip to Belize but should have planned to stay longer. The staff was amazing and our favorite part was the black lab, Coco who lead us on a hike to a remote waterfall. We also enjoyed swimming in pools below the 5 sisters waterfalls where they brought down food and drinks for us. We were only one of 5 groups of guests staying at the time and the entire experience was so intimate and luxurious. We stayed in the ridge cabana and woke up to a view of the rainforest with coffee service in bed. I can’t wait to go back.

We absolutely loved staying at Gaia for our honeymoon! It was such a unique experience at a serene and peaceful resort. I cannot speak highly enough about the staff! Every single employee was welcoming, genuine, and accommodating. An unexpected highlight for us was when the nighttime security guard, Chris, offered to show us some close-up magic one night after dinner. It was such a fascinating and personalized show, and we still cannot stop talking about how mind-blowing some of his card tricks were. This was a show we would have paid money for, yet Chris just did it because he enjoys magic and wanted to share it with us. Maybe one day it will be an activity/experience that they advertise for at Gaia because it truly was that good. It was amazing, impressive, and very memorable! From being served lunch down by the breathtaking waterfall, to having our private day tour of Caracol, this trip was so special and we are already wanting to plan a trip back.
