Belize Guest Comments - March 2012


March 3, 2012

Our three days at the Jungle Dome have been wonderful; such fun (the adventures and mingling with the other guests); such comfort (the beds and rooms, and lounging around the delightful pool), and such hospitality (Andy, Simone, Lucas & Aidan, and Rocky & Luke, are all so friendly, they make it feel like a home away from home).

Although this is our third visit to Belize, it is our first to Cayo, and what a pleasure it is to discover this part of this beautiful country.

Many thanks to the Hunt family, to the ladies- the food was delicious and every detail was taken care of in our room- to all the other staff who made the Jungle Dome so special, and particularly to David and Mynor and to the cowboy Sherman, who made me so proud by saying that I was the oldest person who had ever cantered when horse riding with him!

I can ‘ditto’ the above comments. Three great days! What a wonderful visit, such wonderful hospitality, including Aidan & Lucas, who were amazing hosts to my boys Matt & Nick, showing them around and engaging them in all the activities Jungle Dome has to offer ;

  • tree climbing, 
  • frog and lizard hunting & capturing, 
  • basketball, 
  • chicken catching…
 what a unique experience and one to remember! Plus, great food, guides, and accommodation. Thanks you so much for great memories!

Belize Guest Comments - May 2012 - Belize Jungle Dome


19th May, 2012

We can't thank you enough for the amazing week we've had. The Jungle Dome looked great on the website, but it is only when you arrive that you realize what a special place it is. It's rare to find a place in such a beautiful setting with so many places to see and activities to do in such a close distance.

We enjoyed every second; from the horseback ride through the jungle, boat ride down the river, the Black Hole Drop, cave tubing, etc. Also, we are so glad that we spotted a comment in the comment book about David's night time jungle walk- it was brilliant. The overnight stay in the cave was loads of fun too.

Most of all, thank you to Andy, Simone, David, Mynor & the rest of the staff here for making us feel so welcome, comfortable & part of the Jungle Dome family during our stay. Every aspect was amazing and - like I said at the start- we can't thank you enough. You have a special place & we will spread the word in England for you.

 It is sad to leave, but nice to go knowing that we have made so many new friends!

Thanks again, Lee & Natalie, UK


May 21, 2012 Dear Jungle Dome,

Wow! What an amazing week! Jungle Dome far exceeded all of our expectations and the bar high for the rest of our trip. The staff here are amazing and truly made the experience for us. It felt like we were among friends, not resort staff, all week.

The food was incredible, the lodge is beautiful, and the experiences in the jungle were life changing and unforgettable! We will definitely be recommending this place with raving reviews to our friends and family, and hope to make it back here in the future!

Belize Trip Reviews - March, April 2013


March 10, 2013.

Andy, Simone, David, Nora, Wanni, Lucas, Aidan, and the rest of the staff; What an amazing 4 days! Everything was so much fun, and the guides were so well-informed, it is hard to pick a favorite.
The first day we went to the Xunantunich Mayan site; quite interesting, with Junior as our guide;

Then on to the Iguana Park.

Next day was to Cave’s Branch tubing, as we floated through limestone cave, and then down a gentle river with Fernando.

The next day to Caracol Mayan ruins, Rio Frio Cave, and Rio on waterfalls and swimming area with Bruce.

Every day was new and exciting, and our room was always clean when we got back, besides an excellent breakfast and dinner every day. Your staff is what made it so special.

On day one at the airport we met David, and he drove us every day and become a good friend to us. He was great company and an amazing young man.

Best of luck to you all! Hope to see you again. This trip was for a 50th anniversary and Simone (as busy as she is) even remembered, and made us a card. What a group!

Dear Jungle Dome team,

Many thanks for an amazing introduction to Belize over the past 5 days, from the pick-up at the airport and trip to the zoo, and throughout the action-packed few days, I’ve had a great time experiencing a variety of activities, including my first ever horse ride and the beautiful ATM caves.

At the end of each adventure, it has been wonderful to have that feeling of coming ‘home’ to the Jungle Dome, and being made to feel part of the family, with lovely home-cooked meals, a comfy, homely room, and great conversations.

Thanks for the tips and advice, I am sure I will use in San Pedro in the coming days. You have a lovely place, and I will definitely  recommend it to anyone coming out here.

Belize Jungle Dome is AWESOME! David, our caretaker, has been amazing! He is full of knowledge about the sights we’ve asked him about. He is so interesting to talk to.

The meals have been very convenient, especially since we were over Easter weekend, when most restaurants have been closed. The pool is a refreshing break when we get back from our tours.

Make sure you do the cave tubing/zip-lining. St. Herman’s cave and the Blue Hole is an interesting side trip. Tomorrow we head to Mountain Pine Ridge and the, sadly, we have to leave the Jungle Dome, and head to San Ignacio.

We’ll always remember our stay here, and how welcome David made us feel.  I plan on writing a fantastic TripAdvisor review!

The Jungle Dome was awesome! We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff was great and the food was amazing. Our guide David was really nice, and Lucas was fun to be around too. Everyone here is so nice (including the dogs), we will definitely write a review about the Dome on TripAdvisor.

Dear Jungle Dome family,

This has been a home away from home…Simone, Andy, their kids, David, Marina, Tella, Wani, and all the crew, thanks to all of you for your hospitality, delicious food, cozy apartment, incredible spirit and beautiful energy.

I just leave my heart in Belize. I had, not only, a great time and amazing vacation, I also learned so much about the culture, history, and traditions.

God bless you!
Love and peace, Claudia

Belize Guest Comments - Scott and Tanya from Winston-Salem, North Caroline, USA



The Jungle Dome will always be special in our memories for many reasons:


  •  Friendly staff and excellent food! (Loved the fresh orange juice and the fry jacks for breakfast) 
  • Clean and comfortable room (Loved the fridge and coffee maker) 
  • Beautiful surroundings and wonderful sounds of the jungle (Orange trees, flowers, howler monkeys, horses galloping, and birds, plus roosters too!) 
  • Refreshing pool and relaxing hammocks…aahhhh! 
  • Daytrips to the ruins, cave tubing with David, the Blue Hole to swim, and driving on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway. 
  • Also, the visit to Iguana Conservation Project in San Ignacio, was lots of fun (I think I’ve already taken over 1000 photos in three days)

·         Most importantly, the Jungle Dome will be forever in our memory, because this us where we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. 

Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise in Belize, that we plan on sharing with our own friends and family through stories, pictures, and memories. 

Best wishes for the future,

Scott & Tonya Craver
