River Bend Resort Belize

Our stay at the River Bend Resort was great. Kevin was great! He was extremely friendly and informative. Whatever we needed he was there with it! The grounds are very cute and it is very close to the airport! We didn't realize that we would have to park across the river and then have a boat come pick us up, but it all worked out and our car was totally safe where we left it! We would book the River Bend again.

We chose this place due to the location by the airport. It was just what we needed after traveling Belize and Guatemala. A funky resort with cabins right on the Belize River. Fell asleep listening to the wildlife. Kevin and staff were wonderful.

It is very quiet and close to the airport. Ideal for our overnight stay before we headed out to start our vacation to Belize.

We stayed for 1 night due to a late flight arrival before our quick flight out the next morning. A quick 5min and $10 taxi ride from the airport, the hotel has a private boat to transfer guests from the "harbor" to the hotel. The cabin is large and has full kitchen amenities, and a large screened porch with hammocks. There is a strong ac unit and ceiling fans and fans, we actually turned things down because it was really strong and cold! We got dinner takeout that the staff Kevin ordered and picked up for us. He also got us beers from the bar. There's a community room if you want to hang out, and the property is beautiful and peaceful with their resident dogs. Breakfast is simple. We got a chance to chat with other guests who stay much longer and make use of their cabin kitchens. This is great if you want to stay near Belize city but feel safe and secure, and in a peaceful area. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location and close to the airport. This was my second time staying here and I'll definitely stay here again if I'm in the area!

River Bend was a wonderful place for my trip. I was able to see a variety of wildlife on the property. The hosts were especially accommodating, making sure my needs were met. The river crossing to go out is fun and easy. Kevin, hooked me up with a tour guide, Earl, and we had a blast exploring the area. This is a great landing spot, as it is so close to the airport. If it’s one night or many, and enjoy a more relaxed laidback spot, this is the place.

Owner was a great resource for the Punta Gorda area!

This was a great, more primitive jungle experience. If you're looking for a fine hotel, you'll be disappointed. But the boat arrival, bird sounds at night, and jungle foliage were unique experiences. Breakfast was very limited as well. I wish we would have stayed long enough to take the jungle boat tour they offered.

I would like to request a refund for this night as I absolutely hated this accommodation. It was hideous, unsanitary, overpriced, and the service was disappointing, with photos to prove it. We found insects in the bed, there was double carpeting everywhere (we suspect the first layer was so dirty they decided to cover it rather than remove it), the shower was filthy (we deliberately chose not to use it), there was a pest repellent device in the kitchen, an air conditioning unit stuck in the window, a fire extinguisher on the floor, window screens peeling off, cold breakfast, etc. A moldy smell permeated the entire room: we barely managed to sleep with the windows open. We were charged for airport transportation, even though the website stated it was included. There was no indication that we would have to pay cash for the food we ordered. $200 down the drain. We will never return and will discourage anyone who asks us about this place.

Didn't tell us we needed to board a boat when we booked. Said 2 miles from airport. One of us in a wheelchair and one coming from Africa. Tried to cancel immediately and would not let us. So a total rip off. No refund hence bad review. It's worth it to be honest when advertising
