The location is truly amazing, surrounded by forest, numerous species of birds and some visiting howler monkeys. The staff made the trip truly memorable, they were kind, polite, helpful and went out of their way to help.

The food at the restaurant was outrageously expensive, to the point that we ended up leaving the hotel to eat elsewhere. We later found out that the original owner (before Muy Ono took over) had the same menu at HALF of the price. They simply cannot charge 15 USD for a flour tortilla with cheese and beans, it's insulting. The staff are seriously underpaid. I find it really hypocritical of Muy Ono (the owner company) to praise themselves for doing "social work" by giving money to some charities and then pay their staff below the minimum wage and have them work long hours and more than 7 days straight.

Wow. The peace and serenity of Sweet Songs is unmatched. The grounds are exceptional and the uniqueness of each space is truly unparalleled. The service was impeccable from our arrival to departure. Carlos was so knowledgeable! We learned so much about the culture we were able to immerse ourselves in at Sweet Songs!

The water pressure and temperature of the sink was fantastic... the shower... not so much.

We absolutely loved the location. The surroundings were so beautiful and full of life. The nearby river with tubes and canoes provided by the lodge made for a lot of family fun, with exploring and jumping off rocks into the river. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and beautiful and the pool side bar was a bonus with a very friendly bar tender. The rooms and bedding were clean and comfortable and the air-conditioning worked well to keep us cool. The city center was a 20-30 minute drive on a dirt road part of the way and was very passable by an AWD car rain or shine. (I'd even say it's passable in a 2WD car) Our family really enjoyed playing and spending time together here.

I believe we stayed in bungalow #8. The blinds were completely see through from the outside at night. We did not realize this until our 2nd night, so who knows what passerby's may have seen as we were completely unaware of this problem. Also, 2 of our adult children stayed in bungalow #6. When we checked in we were told there was no key available for this room, but they would get one for us by morning. Turns out the only way to lock the door from the inside is with a key. So for the first night our kids stayed in an unlocked room with a chair pushed up against the door. When we asked for the key again in the morning they still did't have a key, but they said not to worry about leaving the room unlocked because no one was going to go into their room. We had to take all of their valuables out of their room and lock them in our room when the left the resort for an all day excursion. They did have a key ready for us that evening. The restaurant food is mediocre at best. For the USA $25 price I was expecting more.

Sweet Songs Lodge was beautiful! The property was just gorgeous and the staff were wonderful. They were extremely accommodating in every way.

They could have used some solar lights on the road path down to our bungalow 11. We would also suggest setting up a pool table, darts and some other outdoor activities on site for families in the building above the pool and on the surrounding grounds. the lodge is growing so this is not a criticism, just a suggestion.

secluded, quiet and clean

a lot of steps

beautiful location with a lot of wildlife

nothing

Staying at this property was like living on a movie set- the jungle background and wildlife were incredible and Toucans joined us for breakfast every morning. I didn’t even need mosquito repellant. The pool overlooking the treetops with howler monkeys was perfect after a full day of excursions along with the bar drinks and food with helpful staff.

the lodge is situated in the jungle and perfect for a remote and luxurious jungle experience. a taxi will take you for 70 Belize $ (one way) from San ignacio to the lodge (about 20 minutes). we saw some monkeys, Tucans and other birds during our stay. for swimming you have the pool with a cocktail bar or the river with a natural small beach, both were great. you can get a canoe or a tube to explore the river for free! the staff was always very nice and helpful. we also got a take away breakfast one morning when we need to leave earlier

as said before by other guests, because of the remote location the lodge’s restaurant is the only place to eat nearby if you don’t want to go back to San ignacio (if you go by car you might not feel comfortable by night on the unpaved road). prices are in US $, at lunch you get food from the menu (10-15 US $), for dinner there is a choice of 2-3 different starters, main courses, desserts. we first thought it is obligatory to take all 3 courses and ended up with 44 US $ per person. as we recognised later you can also just take the main course. for a 2 night stay we found that still okay. it would actually be nice to get some of the lunch meals for dinner as well.
