What an amazing experience! Hadas was an amazing host, and very helpful and informative! She helped us book an amazing tour with Jamal who picked us up for a wonderful jungle pontoon experience, which I highly recommend. She helped us navigate the area with excellent tips on where to go, and what to see. The house itself is AMAZING! The view is even better than the pictures show. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. We hit the farmer’s market for some wonderful ingredients on the way in! The wildlife is all around you! It is a soundtrack, but totally worth the experience. It’s the jungle what do you expect?! Dora was super friendly, and had we had more time I’m sure her classes and massage are top notch. All in all I was most excited for my island and ocean time, but am leaving Belize most amazed by my jungle experience at Alma Del Rios!

Trip was planned for my wife’s 35 bday with extremely short notice. Hadas was absolutely amazing! She assisted me with scheduling multiple events every day of our stay. It’s not often you find someone who authentically cares what their guests think, how their stay was and the time they spent inside the facility. It was as if everyone that guided us on our journey knew of Hadas and her beautiful family! I’ve never been to any other place where I felt welcome and at home as much as I did there, and it was immediate. As far as Alma Del Rio. Absolutely exceptional! Quiet, nestled on the edge of the Macao River in the jungle. I’m a hard one when it comes to being pleased. This lodge and the experience with Hadas, her staff and all of our guides far surpassed my expectations!Also, Dora made the visit even more exceptional which I did not feel was possible. She made the place nice and cozy, cooked an amazing traditional iconic dish for my wife and I. I could keep going and going. Just know you won’t be disappointed in the least staying at Alma Del Rio. And do not forget to bring Alma a gift from whenever you’re traveling from! She will make your heart explode in joy with her authentic appreciation. We will be back as soon as life allows us to do so!Thank you Hadas, Tom, Alma and Dora

We really enjoyed this accommodation. It was very easily accessed from San Ignacio. Comfortable and beautiful. We would stay here again, hands down!

We loved staying at Alma del Rio. Hadas and her family were so kind and helpful and so welcoming. The home is beautiful and they’ve given a lot of attention detail. The grounds are gorgeous. She had many fruit trees and beautiful flowers everywhere and there’s a bird feeding station where you can leave fruit and watch the birds (and the occasional lizards) come to snack on it. We loved listening to the birds and geckos and watching the sun set in the evenings and we had fun using the paddle boards in the Macal river just down the hill. The only complaint was that the house was very hot and because it’s open to the outside lots of bugs get in. The location was great though - close to town but feels like you’re totally removed from it all. Thanks for a great stay!
