The white orchid villa was an amazing place to spend our 10 days in Belize. The location is quiet and calm, letting you enjoy nature to the fullest! We saw and heard many many birds. The screen porch lets you enjoy being outside, while keeping the bugs away! The house was very clean, very well equipped for cooking, and the beds comfortable. Groundskeeper was friendly and helpful, property manager was great also. Tours are easily coordinated from Hopkins, and they will pick you up at the property even. Definitely recommend this property for a peaceful, calm, relaxing get away! Thank you Rupa for sharing your home with us!!

We had a perfect stay at White Orchid! The Sittee River is stunningly beautiful and Hopkins is a friendly town with everything we could have needed and more. Can’t wait to return! Hopefully, we can stay at this villa again!

We had a great stay at Rupa’s Jungle Compound on the Sittee River over Christmas. Rupa even arranged to have a Christmas tree set up for our two year old daughter. The property is as advertised right on the river. We were hoping to swim in the river, but there are crocodiles. It’s pretty murky, so you can’t really tell what lurks beneath the surface. Enrique and his wife, the Mayan caretakers, are very amicable. Enrique took me fishing on the canoe. Many fish were caught. His wife made a traditional Mayan fish soup for us on Christmas Eve. The property is a ways out of town on really bumpy roads. A vehicle with high clearance is recommended. We had a Hyundai sedan and it was painful to drive. No internet, but we knew that going in. If you have T Mobile you’ll get 256k speeds for data and texting, which worked fine. The dogs barked every night. It didn’t wake our daughter, so it was a non issue for us. Mosquitos were pretty bad, but we were prepared for them. Overall we had a great time at the compound.

The property was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Fished right off the dock. 24 year old daughter was not crazy about the fact there was no WIFI. I found it a plus. Unplug and unwind.

We LOVED our stay in Hopkins, and this property was fantastic. Hopkins is what you imagine a Belize village to be - multicultural, beautiful, tropical. It is NOT developed and touristy like Placencia - here, you can eat at a touristy location or a local restaurant - you can enjoy the local outdoor market on the weekend - and you can also access tour operators. This house was a very short drive from Hopkins, and perfectly situated on the Sittee River. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained, the property was safe, and the house was a lovely airy, bright home. You ARE in a relatively remote, tropical setting, and if you have the right expectations going in, you'll have a great time. There ARE bugs, there is no wifi, cell reception is spotty at best. There are plenty of family games, a well stocked kitchen, a friendly caretaker, and the beauty of birds, iguanas and the jungle right outside your door. This is the perfect base-camp for self-catered day trips. Don't miss the hike up Antelope Falls (in Bocawina Mayflower Park - 15 minute drive) - the view and pool you can jump in at the top are spectacular. Also don't miss a leisurely canoe trip up or down the Sittee River, which is right outside your door! The caretaker was friendly and accommodating, communication with the host was prompt and thorough. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
