The property was beautiful. The rooms were huge and so unique. The staff were wonderful. We met the owner and that was indeed very special. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful grounds and nice clean rooms. Very interesting history. The dining service was good but rather expensive. Able to provide a shuttle to the airport

Lovely couple created a beautiful area for people to relax and enjoy family time along with nature. Not far from Belmopan if you need anything from the city.

This beautifully designed lodge, on 4000 acres, is a unique experience. 107 free range horses, parrots, monkeys add to the ambience. Large , comfortable a/c rooms, friendly staff, good restaurant ,and lovely pool, make for a memorable stay. Convenient to many sites. Owner’s wife is an excellent artist and has a gallery there. We loved it!

Room booked was not available. No information was given. Had to move rooms but with hotel help. Friendly staff. Property itself was run down but grounds were fabulous. Wild animals in captivity including a ‘rescued’ jaguar. Does not impress. Conflicted morality. One thing for sure. Would not recommend and would never go back

Beautiful property, lovely experience but also not what we expected. I would consider this more of a working ranch than a resort, as we felt like it's more setup for locals to Belmopan and cowboys than it is to the average traveler. Nice food, good overall value. Kind of a strange cowboy guy who apparently owns the property who was a little overly friendly to my girlfriend out of the blue. However seems that locals love him and have good things to say. If you're up for something a bit different would recommend this place, we picked it because it's much closer to the ATM cave hike than San Ignacio and also closer to Belize City. They have a caged jaguar on the premise which is cool and tons of horses. Although, even this we asked to reserve a ride, weeks in advance, we had to push to keep that reservation as they seemed to have forgotten about it. Also had a tarantula in our room which Carlos removed for us. Fun!

Difficult road to get to resort. Not for cars. Horse rides are nice, the young guy ranch hands will hit on a daughter.

It was beautiful and we enjoyed the food for dinner & in the morning! My girls loved the jaguar on property, birds and the pool.

This place is so very charming. There are horses wandering around the property, they have birds and a jaguar to visit, the swimming pool is amazing, and the cooking is phenomenal. The cabanas have thatched roofs and are older but well maintained and, well, charming. The beds are comfy. The only downside is that there are bugs, but you're in the middle of the jungle, so that is to be expected.

Great experience with the home style meals and getting to know the owners and staff. Rustic and remote which adds to the Belizian experince.

Just a agoer stay. Beautiful location but realize thar the lodge is in the jungle. No other restuarant or services available beyond that provided by the lodge. Saw a young jaguar, many parrots and exotic wild birds to see. Horseback riding available and it would have been fun to try that if we had the rime.

The grounds are beautiful, carefully landscaped with tile-lined paths connecting the various buildings. Great pool, on site jaguar and parrot aviary. The major attraction is on site horse back riding, which we didn't do. But there are plenty of day trips to do--we went to ATM and Tikal, and there are plenty more. Downsides are that it is pretty isolated (15 min off main road) and food is perfectly adequate but not memorable.

Banana Bank Lodge is a very unique get-away. The owners, Carolyn and John made us feel very welcome and are very interesting. They dined with us each night. The food was reasonable and very good. The grounds were gorgeous! Our cabana was very comfortable and beautifully designed. There are horses and parots roaming around the property...very cool. They also have an art gallery of Carolyn's paintings and a small museum of Mayan artifacts in their home. If you love nature, art, animals, and military history (John is a very informative source) or just want some peace and quiet...this is the place to stay. Not to mention it's very close to town.

Our family had a wonderful time at Banana Bank Lodge. The family style meals were fabulous and a great way to talk with other guests, the pool was refreshing, the property was beautiful, the staff were fabulous. We visited ruins one day and spent the next day riding. My two adult children enjoyed riding so much we nixed our plans for the afternoon and went on another ride. The staff had an evening soccer game and included our children, what a thrill! If you are staying inland, I couldn't recommend a better place!

Front desk staff was pleasant, but could use more training about the local tour offerings - they were somewhat uninformed and seemed confused about arranging tours and transportation. The food was good, although we got a bit tired of chicken. Best was chatting with the owners, Carolyn and John Carr - they have some awesome stories! LOVED the herd of horses and the experience with the horses in the pink roundpen - a highlight for sure! The architecture and gardens are lovely. The room we stayed in could use a bit of sprucing up and maybe a new mattress, but was still a sweet and comfortable room. YES we would return - and certainly hope to one day.

Check in was fine but when we got to our room it was pretty bad. The bathtub looked as if someone had spilled paint in it and there were large rust spots. The toilet would not totally flush unless you did it at least three times. We complained loudly and were upgraded to a much nicer room. However the clerk was rather snippy about it. They had a nice pool and beautiful landscaping. The meals were quite good although we thought they were rather expensive. The buildings could use some work in places. They have some birds and a jaguar in cages. Not a terrible place to stay but we would not go back.

Our family of 5 stayed at the Banana Lodge Bank for 2 nights in a cabana. The reception staff, the horse guides, the food and the owner John Carr were memorable. All were very friendly and accommodated our needs. The grounds were very well kept, and the price was right. The rooms were comfortable.
