Gastronomic Delight

Dining at Gaia Riverlodge is an absolute pleasure. Every meal I had was crafted with fresh ingredients from their on-site organic garden. The setting is unmatched, as we enjoyed our meals on a candlelit deck overlooking the nice waterfall. I couldn't resist ordering the Mayan breakfast and the soursop ice cream, which was the highlight of my culinary experience!

Room with a View

I stayed in a charming riverside villa that was beautifully designed with a thatched roof, offering a spacious layout. The comfortable bed and the stunning view of the waterfall outside my balcony made every moment worth it. I'd step outside to hear the sound of the falls, which was both calming and invigorating—it felt like my own little paradise!

Relaxing Retreat

The leisure amenities at Gaia are simply excellent. I spent hours lounging by the waterfall area, where they provide comfortable chairs and hammocks. The sound of the cascading water added to the incredibly relaxing atmosphere. I even ordered drinks directly to my chair using the handy walkie-talkie they provided—it felt like a luxurious private escape, all while enjoying nature.

Elevated Comfort

The bathroom in my riverside villa was beautifully designed and equipped with modern amenities. It felt spacious and inviting, with a lovely view overlooking the lush surroundings. There was nothing quite like enjoying a refreshing shower while listening to the sounds of the rainforest, making my stay at Gaia even more nice.

My stay at GAIA River Lodge was nothing short of a dream! Surrounded by the beauty of nature, the experience was enhanced by the thoughtful and attentive staff. The location is incredibly scenic with waterfalls nearby, but it is quite remote, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The dining options were exceptional, especially with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, but don't expect a bustling nightlife since the lodge is off-grid. Overall, the perfect escape into nature with a touch of luxury.

My stay at Gaia Riverlodge was a memorable getaway. The stunning views and unique setting made it feel special, and the service was top-notch, giving us that VIP treatment. However, dinner pricing was a bit high, and access to nearby waterfalls felt overly restricted to guests. Overall, it's a beautiful place worth visiting if you're in Belize.
