“We had a wonderful experience at the black rock lodge, the staff is amazing and you can feel how passionate they are about their work. The Tikal visit is a must. We had an amazing day on site with our guide Noel, we learnt so much about Mayan history and jungle fauna. We did also the hike to the summit and the night walk with the guide. Both great. Ask for a visit of the gardens, they are growing their own vegetables and fruits for the restaurant, the gardeners are lovely people. Finally the restaurant, god… the food was soooo good. We highly recommend the black rock lodge.”

“Very nice property with great staff. The amenities are a bit expensive and remember that many cabins do not have air conditioning. This can be uncomfortable during the hot months. ”

“Amazing place, guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the land and the Mayan culture. The food was delicious, and the place was just beautiful. Onsite hikes in the rain forest and floating the river in inner tubes are well worth it. Also worth seeing the Mayan ruins and cave exploring were well worth it.”

“Love the lodge feel and extremely kind and helpful staff. Our family stayed for three nights. Since driving the last mile was a little challenging, we opted to have dinners every night at the Lodge. Great service and wonderful food, but a bit on the pricier side compared to eating in town. We did the ATM excursion through the lodge. Xuanantunich was so close, we opted to drive via our rental and hired a private guide for $50 on-site. We did tubing on-site which was a flat 30-minute walk about and ride down. Great fun for our family of four. Would highly recommend.”

“The experience our family had at Black Rock Lodge exceeded anything I could have wished for. From the moment Fernando picked us up at the airport, we knew we were in for a good time. The nearly 2 1/2 hour drive went fast as he thought of everything. He had water and snacks ready for us when we got into the vehicle. We made a stop for iced coffee and saw a fabulous wood working gallery before reaching the lodge. The most unexpected thing for me was his willingness to make an unplanned visit to the San Ignacio market. I had watched numerous YouTube video. I had mentioned I wanted to see the vibrant market. He gladly stopped and walked with us around fruit -vegetable vendors and explained the spices and the items. It was thrilling. The French Bakery in the town is a must. Arrival at the lodge started with tropical drinks while overlooking a vast tropical rain forest. My husband is an avid birder. He was on cloud 9 for the 4 days we had there.The night hike was fun for our oldest son. Our family was fascinated by the tour of the Mayan Ruin Xunantunich which was led by Isaias. He is brilliant with birds but equally winsome in explaining the history and culture of the Mayans. The added bonus for me was the stop for lunch at Bennys a local restaurant. Not only was the food yummy and priced fair, the vibe of the atmosphere really connected you with how locals live. The food at the lodge is delicious. Virginia is a stand out for gracious hospitality. We will go back!!”
