"Absolutely love this resort. Hidden gem of Belize "

"10/10 experience! Not only was the resort beautiful the staff were attentive and friendly. Any need I had they went above and beyond to fulfill. The resort also was a 8 min drive from downtown San Ignacio which was very convenient. My cousin and I left sad to leave such a paradise. Highly recommend and hope to come back in the future! "

"Best stay ever! Was a home away from home!"

"Literally everything was so amazing an beautiful definitely recommend it and will be booming again"

"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Mystic River Resort! The location in the jungle, near the Macal River, is magical! ALL of the staff provided warm and exceptional customer service - special shout outs to Florita, Dervin, Steve, Ebias, Leo, and Augusto. The complimentary birding tour was a delight and a favorite of ours. The Guide was so knowledgeable (we can't remember his name - sorry!) but we loved seeing the birds and learning more about Belize/Belizean culture on our drive back to Belize City (he was also our driver). All of the food and drinks were incredible - we especially loved the buffet when we first arrived and the nice cold Belikin - some of the best food we had the entire trip! We also enjoyed a couples massage, which was so relaxing along the Macal River listening to the birds and water flow by. We loved our cottage as well - the bed was very comfortable, the fireplace made for a cozy, romantic setting, and the balcony was our favorite spot to enjoy the morning Coffee Basket! :) Gio and Sylvia were both very helpful in coordinating our excursions and activities, transportation, and answering our many questions! We definitely hope to return to Mystic River Resort again in the future! Thank you for setting the bar high for our Belizean adventure and helping us create such wonderful memories! "

"The house was amazing with a beautiful view. If you like watching birds with your morning coffee this is A+. Super friendly and helpful with any questions you have. Good location for the trips to Xunantunich and ATM caves."

"Clean room, furnished terrace, helpful staff, great location. "

"Had a fabulous stay at Cassia Hill. Had a duplex style studio overlooking the gorgeously cared for grounds (#2). The room was surrounded by huge windows to enjoy the lush trees and plants from inside. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful both before and during my stay. Shout out to Aby who was impressively attentive and efficient! The room was generously equipped, clean and beautiful. The property sprawls and offers a small pool with a few lounge chairs, and a large restaurant with bar and great service (I had 2 dinners here and both were great). Just outside of town so quiet aside from traffic on the nearby highway, close to supermarkets, but would recommend a car for getting around."

"The staff and the hotel managers we all very friendly and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised at how the hotel managers Ryan and Christiana would help us book a tour for the day we arrived at the next hotel where we were staying. "
