Davis Falls Inn

If you are looking to get away from the resorts and want a truly wonderful, 100% Belizean stay, the Macaroni Hill View Hotel is for you. The hotel itself is the home that RJ and his family loved in growing up - but it has been expanded to include more rooms and an incredible, two story rooftop area for the bar and restaurant. While I was there, it was raining pretty much the entire time, but it was nice sitting up on the roof, taking in the amazing views and watching all the birds and wildlife. Since the family is local, they know a ton of history and facts about the area and Belize in general and can hook up some great tours. I went zip lining in Bocawina (in the pouring rain!) when I was there and it was AWESOME. Again, this is not the right hotel for someone looking for the luxury resort side of Belize, but if you want a real local taste and some awesome natural beauty around you, you shouldn't think twice. My stay at Macaroni Hill View Hotel was sandwiched between staying at two 4 and 5 star resorts and it was absolutely the highlight of my trip.

We arrived at the facility, and were in total shock. The Hostel was in total ruin, looking nothing like the pictures on the internet. We went inside and found the lobby in no better shape, bedding Matterest piled up in rooms, filthy dirty. Was in shock.... did not stay. Don't understand why these agencies don't check out the places they are recommending.

We arrived late, in part because of a lack of street signage in Belize,but the staff welcomed us eagerly, and we were shown to our room upstairs. As we proceeded upstairs, it was obvious that the hotel was in a state of severe disrepair, with peeling paint everywhere, broken fixtures, and broken furniture strewn about. The overall structure appeared shabby and was unkempt. When we entered our dimly lit and musky room, my wife pointed out the mold and mildew covering the cloth lampshades on the fixtures with out light bulbs. The springs in the mattress were like little spears in our backs. There were dead bugs all over the tiled floors, mold and mildew in the shower, no on-site food or drink, no breakfast food in the morning, no amenities... If I had not lost my phone, I would have posted pics of some of this. There is a big difference between nasty-dirty and just run-down. Cleanliness doesn't cost anything, other than a little effort. A bulldozer might be the best option here. This hotel reminds me of the seedy, low rent,cheesy inner-city motels you would see in the movies in the 50's and 60's. For sure, our worst travel experience yet.

A fun hotel a little primitive but nice people. The rooftop decks offer a great view and are probably a great party on the weekend

Rooms are old and seems like an abondoned building (pictures on website are from the opening day!). You will find spiders web on your rooms. No toiletries at all, Wifi Works only on first floor, refrigerator almost falling apart with TV set over it (unable to view a program clearly). Food was bad (reheated meal), no sodas. Bed was uncomfortable, you where able to feel the springs! Definitely not worth what I pay for!

Room was ghetto, ac worked but dripped water all night. Room shown on sight was not what I got.

My family (husband, 2 adult daughters) and I spent 4 nights at family-owned Macaroni Hill, which has a spectacular view of the surrounding jungle but is a distance from any commercial area (which we realized later was a real plus). Hotel is very safe, the food is simple but tasty, and they will help plan your excursions. The sons can provide transportation and accompany you on the tours/outings (roads are horrendous in Belize --massive pot holes everywhere & the country's poverty can be intimidating). One night the other guests and my family joined a wedding reception held on the hotel veranda-- we danced away to the local music, immersing ourselves in the local culture/people. Unbelievable fun you would only find in a small lodging where all guests mingle & feel comfortable.

Wasn't expecting 5 star but was horrified at what it was. Very expensive for a dump. Advertised fridge in room, there was but could not be used as no accessible outlets in room, would have had to stretch the cord around the corner through the door into the bathroom to use. Bathroom had rugs that appeared dirty and bathroom smelled of urine. Toilet rocked! Couldn't sleep in the queen bed with my husband because mattress was so poor the springs were sticking us. Room was very small with a queen bed and set of bunk beds crammed in. Very dreary. Even though we had made reservations on line and pre-paid they didn't seem to know we were coming. On check- out they tried to argue that we hadn't pre-paid. They finally found our reservation in their junk e-mail box. Pictures look much better than the reality. Someone else was checking out at same time and I noted that he paid half what we did which was about what it was worth.

I was disappointed in my stay and the conditions of this hotel. If you get on their website it appears quite charming but I felt the room was unclean and conditions shabby.

We enjoyed this very much. Family run home, we were welcome to hang out in living room on 1st floor outside our room. Very friendly and helpful. Just 12 miles out of Dangriga makes it a great location for exploring both the coastal town as well as inland jungle interests. Building is a little dated (not like a high end hotel) but very comfortable. They have made a rooftop restaurant ... great view and excellent food.
