Table Rock Jungle Lodge

Tucked on the Macal River in Belize’s canopied Cayo District, about 5 miles from San Ignacio. This eco-lodge sits on a 175-acre river reserve and is close to Cahal Pech, the Belize Botanical Gardens and Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. Family-friendly and riverfront, it’s a quiet base for rainforest adventures.

Ten individually decorated cabañas keep the vibe intimate and rustic-chic. Rooms include desks, complementary bottled water and private bathrooms with showers and toiletries. Expect terraces, garden views and easy access to hiking, canoeing, swimming and birdwatching right from the property.

Stand-out features include an outdoor pool, onsite massages and a small spa center. The lodge has a tour desk and concierge to book Mayan-site trips and river excursions. There’s also a picnic area, gift shop/newsstand, babysitting (surcharge), free self-parking and a 24-hour airport shuttle for a fee — plus river-breeze mornings you won’t forget.

Complimentary wireless internet, multilingual staff, luggage storage and laundry/dry-cleaning services. Rooms offer phones and desks for basic work needs.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and the bar/lounge pours drinks. Full breakfast is available daily from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM for a fee.
