“Yes my pet , Piper was treated wonderfully, I wish I could bottle the cook up and take him home. We have made friends for life , we will return soon, thanks so much for everything.!”

“The Kitchen staff is outstanding Oscar, Amy and Cindy are a skilled team serving exceptional food made from local sources George and the landscaping crew have created a lovely display of flowering plants. The care of the grounds is impressive. The room attendants provide extra touches and sparkling clean rooms Of course the whole operation runs flawlessly with Benoni in charge. He is a superb host ”

“Wonderful Belizean hospitality! Staff went out of their way to make sure you were looked after from comfortable sleeps, delicious food to arranging transfers and tours to Caracol Mayan ruins, ATM. Great value, memorable experience and your dollars support local economy. We will be back. ”

“What a gorgeous little place! Pine Ridge Lodge is an eco-lodge set on generous grounds which are beautifully landscaped. The amenities are good, including hot water for showers. Breakfast is cooked fresh every morning and you can also get lunch and dinner - vegetarian available too. Best of all is the staff. Benoni, the manager, is such a kind and helpful guy, and gave us some very interesting insights into the local culture and wildlife. The chef and kitchen/bar staff are great too. The place is kept spotlessly clean by the housekeeping staff, and they make up the rooms every day with fresh towels etc. Highly recommended to anyone who is visiting the area.”

“Clean and quiet. Very welcoming. It was nice that breakfast was included. ”

“Pine Ridge Lodge is a magical jungle retreat that created unforgettable memories for our family of four. The setting is serene and beautiful, with a small number of friendly animals that added to the charm without being overwhelming. Penomi, the front host, was always warm and welcoming, offering us thoughtful recommendations that made our stay even more enjoyable. The service throughout our stay was five star, personal, attentive, and full of heart. We ended up eating most of our dinners at the lodge because Oscar’s cooking was simply outstanding, creative, flavorful, and made with love. Every meal felt like a celebration of Belizean flavors in a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Our cabin was comfortable, clean, and tucked into the jungle, allowing us to feel connected with nature while still enjoying modern comfort. This place is truly special and we’re already dreaming about coming back.”

“A truly wonderful property. The staff is outstanding, the food is delicious and the entire property is beautiful. ”

“I had an extended stay of 13 days at Pine Ridge Lodge. This allowed me to experience and evaluate details of the hospitality and facilities. The bottom line: Each staff member from the crew maintaining the beautiful grounds, the housekeepers, cooks (Oscar and Marcia!), wait staff and the site manager Benoni created a home away from home for me. The staff also hosted a dinner with drinks for the project participants I worked with during my stay at Mountain Pine Ridge. I travel across the world for my work and no amount of superficial flourishes such as one will find at the nearby high end lodges can compare to the exquisite professionalism and kindness of this staff. I was able to go on a few tours there as well. The experience was amazing. The WiFi is strong enough in the dining/common area for zoom calls. More importantly, the rooms were WiFi free allowing guests to experience the natural surroundings including the creek. Often Belizean lodge owners try to “improve” resorts by adding amenities like swimming pools and in room internet. Doing this diminishes the comfortable rustic nature of the location for us who wish to avoid the contrived and overpriced experiences available at nearby lodging. There is a sustainable market for rustic but comfortable lodging in stunning natural beauty complimented by staff who are caring people. One note for improvement-purchase a safe and reliable vehicle to transport visitors. Remember that visitors feel safer with seatbelts.”

“The lodge provided some of the very best food we had in our 3 weeks in Belize. Oscar & Marcia, the cooks provided very inspired local, fresh food and catered to our tastes twice daily. The cabins (a bit of the rustic side) on the property are well spaced out and the landscaping is mature with all sorts of interesting trees and plants. We were lucky enough to see the Belize national orchid in bloom on the property. A real bonus is the lack of light pollution. It could well be billed as a dark sky lodge. We had spectacular views of planets and stars at night. It was something we had not expected and but they should promote!”

“This is a quiet and friendly place to stay. The staff make you feel at home and make a lot of effort to make your feel welcome. The best part is that it is unique. You do not feel like you have checked into a resort bubble. It has beautiful nature and the stars at night are fantastic. There is not wifi in the rooms, but this is part of what makes this place a great getaway. I hope they do not change it too much to look like any other resort in Belize. The nature and staff make this a great get-away!”
