Bird's Eye View Lodge Review

This modern concrete hotel, with a two-story main building and a new annex next door, covered with bougainvillea and other flowers, occupies a prime location at lagoon's edge, and you'll find that the friendly and welcoming service is consistent with Belize's down-home reputation. Many of the 20 spic-and-span rooms, all with air-conditioning and all recently refurbished, have views of the lagoon. The best rooms are those on the second floor of the original building (BZ$240 double, plus 9% hotel tax.) The hotel's small and appealing dining room serves filling Creole and American fare (BZ$30 for dinner). The lodge also offers many kinds of tours, including a "birding-by-boat" early-morning cruise on the lagoon (BZ$50 per person, if there are at least five going), horseback riding (BZ$30 an hour), and a croc-spotting night safari (BZ$70 per person). Transportation from the international airport is BZ$150 for up to three persons, BZ$40 each for four or more.

    Bird's Eye View Lodge Review

    starting our vacation in belize with this hotel and the"cashew festival", using the term "festival" VERY losely, was a horrible way to begin our first trip to belize. the hotel is on a lake that has almost no water, so the canoes and boats were useless. there really isn't a town to go to, no stores, restaurants, anything so you are really stuck with what the hotel offers. over priced meals, with no selection offered, over priced wine,1 tv which is in the lobby (with no air conditioning). i just can't say enough about how disappointed we were.
