I stayed here at the end of my central American tour. It is a lovely place to stay and to rest. I had a chalet which was very comfortable and well supplied with amenities. The restaurant does great dinners with lovely food and huge portions. Lots to do on sight and the Belize Botanic Gardens are near. However, it is a very hilly location. As a relatively fit 78 year old it was not very easy to get around.

“A great resort where you’re treated like family!”

Room was awesome so was food, pool, service, and nature! Do the horseback riding!!!! Butterfly sanctuary is a must! Lots of animals!

“Chaa Creek is spectacular.”

Deron was the highlight of a spectacular trip although everyone who works around Chaa Creek is incredibly friendly, kind and accommodating. We did ziplining and cave tubing and it was perfect, we also did the RTV tour which was so fun and exciting for all of us. The open hearth kitchen experience was really worth it, and one of the best meals we had. We made shrimp ceviche, chicken and rice and beans and it was a gourmet meal. Chaa Creek did not disappoint in ANY way. Be aware that some of the rooms have open bathrooms and showers with no doors. Our teenagers sharing a room were NOT amused but figured it out.

We recently stayed at **Chaa Creek** in the **Spa Villa** and had a memorable experience overall, though there are some logistical details future travelers should keep in mind. **The Villa & Accommodations** The Spa Villa itself was lovely. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure was excellent. A huge plus was that each room had its own self-controlled A/C unit, so everyone could set their preferred temperature. **Note:** There are quite a few steps to get up to this villa, so be prepared for a bit of a climb! **Dining: The Highs and Lows** Breakfast was included and offered a fantastic variety of choices to start the day. We arrived on a Sunday, and the à la carte lunch and dinner menus were excellent with plenty of options. However, we were a bit disappointed with the weekday dinner setup. During the week, they transition to a set four-course meal ($37 USD for the main course alone). There were only three options to choose from, which felt very limited for the price. **Pro Tip:** If you have your own transportation, I highly recommend heading into town for dinner. You’ll find many more options and get significantly more food for much less money. That said, do save room for dessert at the lodge—every one we tried was delicious! **Transportation & Logistics** We used Chaa Creek for our airport transfers (about a 2-hour drive each way). Our driver on arrival, **Justin**, was wonderful—very friendly and shared great information about Belizean history and culture as we drove. The only downside was that the A/C in the initial van *from* the airport *to* the lodge was quite weak, making the long drive a bit warm. **However, for our transport back to Belize City at the end of the trip, they sent a much better van with excellent A/C.** **ATM Cave Tour** If you do one thing here, make it the **ATM Cave tour**. We went through the lodge and our guide, **Alexia**, was incredible. It is an absolutely amazing experience. My best advice: **Get there early!** Beating the crowds makes a huge difference in the atmosphere of the cave. Overall, it’s a beautiful property with top-tier tours, just be mindful of the dining structure and the initial transport A/C!
