Gorgeous views. The owners live on site and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. They also recommended a great local tour company (Belize Nature Travel). The food was delicious. Highly recommend.
I went to Belize by myself but I never felt alone. Jay & Christine (and the guests) were all so incredibly friendly.
We convened nightly fur dinner, drinks, and conversation. I would return to this resort again & again! A car is definitely needed to stay at the resort and for exploring the local area.
This is absolutely an idyllic place to stay, we left feeling like family. It's beautiful and so small that all the guests get quite friendly as well. They have many resources and can set up anything you need, and the food and drinks are delicious. You should have a car to stay here as it's a little bit out of Georgeville and a little further from San Ignacio, but I can't imagine staying in town versus this lovely friendly place. The pool is a welcome addition for a dip at the end of the day!
Property was very beautiful in all aspects, from the owners being very attentive, to the landscape and peace and quiet feel. Christine provided guidance on transportation which was very helpful! Definitely recommend this location.
We had a wonderful stay! Christine and Jay were so kind and helpful. We enjoyed an evening looking at the stars with them. Food and drinks were fantastic! This is a very peaceful place to take in the jungle views and enjoy the sky. Would return to stay here without a second thought.
Excellent hosts! We arrived late in the evening for a 1-nught stay. The property was clean, the bedroims were clean and the beds were very comfortable.
As nice as the property was, the real treat was the hosts. They were exceptionally friendly, kind, and hospitable.
The banana bread and fruit for breakfast was delicious!
We will definitely be back!
Gumbo Limbo is a true oasis tucked into the jungle! Our family of five couldn't have been happier to have stayed there. The owners and hosts, Christine and Jay are an absolute pleasure. The property itself is immaculate and well appointed. Their commitment to sustainability and eco-tourism is greatly appreciated. It's obvious they care about the community around them and doing what they can to be good stewards of the land and resources of Belize. The property is a perfect jump off spot for countless adventures in the immediately surrounding area. You could easily stay here for months and not do the same thing twice.
The grounds are beautiful and the Belizean stewed chicken and homemade ice cream were awesome! As well as Jay and Chris were very attentive hosts, great people.

Great location, quit isolated which is what we came for. Easy access to the main attractions - driveway needs to be improved for better access but otherwise we had a grat time. Hosts were very kind and took care of anything we needed. Would come back again !
This lodge is owned and operated by a super nice couple who go out of their way to make things great for the guests, including helping our young teens machete up some coconuts they found out hiking. It has a VERY convenient location near San Ignacio and many things to do (our favorites include the Rio Frio River sites like the caves and pools).
Our stay (2nd one) at Gumbo Limbo was AWESOME! We went with our two adolescent boys - family room was awesome with three beds. Pool was great, awesome hammocks for reading, a jungle trail to enjoy the f & f... boys went tarrantula hunting with the owner at twilight - the pool was great...amazing views and the food hit the spot everytime. Loved it and plan to go back!!
Loved staying here! Christine and Jay were amazing hosts and helped us out so much. Even before we got there, Christine reached out and gave so much info and help. The property was very nice and we loved staying there.

The best experience my mother and brother had!
I scheduled them last minute because my brother had a school open house, this was the closet place and the best decision ever!
Their customer service is beyond excellence!
Jay and Christine (owners) will treat you like family. The lodge is beautifully maintained. The nightly homemade dinners are fantastic. The location to both the exquisite falls and San Ignacio is perfect.
We had a wonderful stay at Gumbo Limbo. Steve and Mike were incredibly gracious hosts and great company. The setting was so serene and the food was fabulous. I give Gumbo Limbo the highest possible recommendation!
