Top Hotels Near Belize Zoo in La Democracia from NZ$122

"This is perhaps or ninth stay at this property. We had not been to Belize since 2022, and I can say that the quality of service and the property is even better than before - and before it was fantastic. Dory assisted with our room selection and checked on us our entire trip. She was accommodating and patient with us! Since 2022, there is a whole new resort on the property - the Banks - which comes with a new restaurant - Humo. While we preferred the food at the Grove and Don Totino's, the atmosphere at Humo is insanely beautiful. Indeed, the entire property is lovely with a great hike to a gazebo which gives you a lovely view of the mountains and the "Sleeping Giant." There are other hikes on property and I understand they will be offering yoga in the future. If you do not have a car, there are great trips that you can take, including a Ceremonial Cave (which I have done in the past and it was quite cool) tour, expeditions to Mayan ruins, cave tubing or kayaking, and cooking classes. There are different room types so check into what you most prefer. We have to been to most and like all but one that is too near the road and road noise by reception. It is a slice of paradise in the middle of the jungle that I cannot recommend enough!"

"Staff was super friendly. Food was really good as well"

"A spacious and unique house with character - I was concerned when I read a review about it being run-down and dated, but that person must have been expexting a Hyatt. This house is right on the river with a wonderful veranda around the side and back, screened porches at each end of the house, a large well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The eclectic color scheme in the rooms was delightful and there were amazing artifacts and artwork everywhere you looked. The grounds were lovely with lots of native plants and a small platform at the river to sit. The pool wasn't large but had a great deck, partially covered, with a an outside kitchen. The best part though was when the howler monkeys brought their babies to visit on the neighboring veranda - incredible. When i move to Belize next year, i hope i can find a home just like this."

"Nice quiet stay, would stay again."

"The most amazing staff and the concierge was next level. Never had such an amazing experience anywhere else. The property and our villa was absolutely stunning. We will definitely be coming back"

"What an amazing hotel & room. This is one of our favorites of all time. We stayed for 3 nights Food: Every meal was fantastic as we ate breakfasts and dinners at the hotel. The fry jacks at breakfast were superb. The prices were reasonable for the meal we ate. The selection changed at each meal. Even our picky eater was very happy. Highly recommend the cheese tasting which you will need to reserve in advance. We lucked out and were able to join due to a cancellation. Staff: Very helpful and super friendly. Superb service. We got the feeling that the staff wants the hotel to succeed and is concerned about each detail. Room: We stayed in the Luxury suite. The view from the balcony was stunning. We were one of the highest rooms. There were a lot of steps to get to the rooms up top(~136 of them), but totally worth it if you can do it. The 'outdoor' shower was a great experience. The room had two showers; the outdoor one overlooking the jungle was something. The room was very clean and well-stocked, including water. Make sure you have a flashlight or a phone with a light for walking around at night. Tours: We booked the ATM(caves) and Mayan ruins tours through the hotel. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun. The ATM caves were the highlight of the trip. As long as you keep active and don't have serious knee or back issues, this was a truly unique and memorable experience. The artifacts were left untouched(other than a few mishaps with tourists)."
