The property looks like it had better days and was probably at it's prime about 10 years ago. The sky deck is no longer maintained which is unfortunate as it has a fantastic tree height view of howler monkeys. Canoe's were old and un-maintained. Food good. Pool area good. No pickup at Airport even when confirmed twice that a pickup would occur. Good for 1 or 2 nights only as there isn't anything to do in the area, unless you want to take tours offsite.

We spent two nights before returning heading to the airport after a much longer trip in Belize. Perfect location. We spend one day touring from the site.

The staff at restaurant was excellent and accommodating. This is the perfect place for an inexpensive clean room, without the bells and whistles. Beware! The door to your room has a 2 inch gap.

No Hot water, No internet, broken pool chairs, torn and loose hanging sun shades at pool, rude front desk staff. The only saving grace was the restaurant staff and food.

Nice quaint resort off the beaten path. Fish cakes and vegetable pealla in restaurant was delicious. Mario, the driver was a godsend. He was patient, courteous, knowledgeable about Belizean history/culture and a very good Black Orchid ambassador!!

We had a lovely stay at The Black Orchid. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location by the river is very nice and you can hear and see monkeys at the property. There isn’t much walkable nearby. The Iguana Stop next door is excellent. Beyond that there isn’t much in Burrell Boom. The hotel will provide a shuttle to other locations, at an additional cost. There are no bicycles or canoes.

They set up a trip to Tikal that was very well coordinated. Did not have to deal with Guatemala officials, the two guides we had drove and then toured us through Tikal with a wealth of knowledge. Thanks!

Mariano, the manager is whom and what made our stay so wonderful. It's conveniently located close to the airport. The property needs a little dusting (TLC) but has character with a beautiful view of the river. Good restaurant and bar on property makes it very convenient. Overall I have no problems recommending to stay there.

The staff were wonderful and its a wonderful setting with beautiful scenery but there were no real options for vegan or vegetarians. The beds had plastic sheets underneath and the screens on the windows didn't really work. The bathrooms could have been a bit bigger or modern.
