This place is simply fantastic…and unique.

He is one of the greatest guys. We never got a chance to hike with him at night in the jungle, but we know it would have been memorable and we know he is going to make a great guide one day.

From the first email inquiry response to the end of our first two days today, it has been a great experience. Lightning-fast responses from Karen made our planning of this trip very efficient. She has been consistently patient, resourceful, responsive and accommodating. The staff here at the Dome has been very friendly. Home-cooked food here is tasty and the choice for us vegetarians and vegans is great! David is always here and helpful. Luis is so knowledgeable on the Maya culture and history, he is an encyclopaedia. He is well read, has worked with botanists and geologists and is also great with the canoe and cave tubes!br /br /Every Belizean we have met is friendly. The tour guide, William, at Che Chem Ha who owns the property and discovered the cave was very helpful and informative in the cave. His family made a simple but delicious vegetarian meal for us. I think this friendliness rubs off on the visitors too as everyone staying here at the lodge has been friendly. Sitting together for dinner at the same table promotes this friendliness even more.br /br /The countryside is beautiful. The variety of trees, fruits and flowers is bewildering. Weather has been pleasant – not too hot, not too cold. Many roads are dirt roads and poverty is rampant and obvious but friendliness and simplicity beats all.br /br /It is the last day here already and we are sad to leave this place as it has been like home.br /br /Karen was wonderful in making last minute changes for us in the last 2 days. Tikal was excellent, zip line was great. The night walk with David was a neat adventure. We got to see crocodiles, monkeys, racoons, a variety of spiders, herons and other water birds. Luis is so full of information about the Mayas. The long ride to Guatemala and back was full of conversation. He is quite versatile with his knowledge of botany, caves, history and politics.br /br /Karen you are the best part of this all; you made the experience memorable. Thanks a bunch!

Belize Trip Review - San Francisco, USA, Christine Hardy Arthur Edelstein
Author: andy
Dear Jungle Dome Staff:br /br /Thank you for a wonderful three days in Cayo. I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay while visiting this beautiful region of Belize. The grounds here are very peaceful and we felt extremely welcome always. Karen you did a great job planning our day trips and making recommendations. David, we enjoyed and appreciated your knowledge of the flora and fauna of Belize. To the cooking staff – we have never been so well-fed in our lives! It was wonderful to eat outside in such a tranquil setting with such outstanding meals.br /br /Since we were the only guests here this week, we now know the wonders of traveling in the off-season. That we will recommend to everyone along with the Jungle Dome in general.br /br /Thanks again and good luck with everything!br /br /Christine Hardy Arthur Edelsteinbr /San Francisco, CAbr /USAbr /br /September 24, 2009div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8193308-2678836302482580466?l=belizevacation.blogspot.com' alt='' //div

The Jungle Domebr /location was perfect - I'm not sure anyplace else is quite as centrallybr /located! It's about an hour to the West to the Xunantunich ruins, 1/2br /hour East to the zoo, maybe an hour or so South to Barton Creek Cave,br /less than an hour to the inland Blue Hole National Park, and 10 minutesbr /to Guanacaste National Park.br /br /And although the Jungle Dome is 5 miles off the highway, it's one of thebr /easiest "5 miles off the highway" locations in Belize. Although it'sbr /not a paved road, it's one of best unpaved roads we saw in all of Belizebr /- recently greatly improved and in great condition.br /br /The place only has about 4 rooms, and during our low-season stay, webr /were the only guests! So Karen upgraded us to a poolside suite. It wasbr /huge! A large bedroom, separate living room/kitchenette, big bathroom,br /walk-in closet/dressing area. Oh yeah, and a private outdoor patio withbr /comfy chairs to just sit and listen to the sounds of the jungle.br /br /The place is absolutely perfect if you have a young child, as we do,br /because everything is right outside your door. We had our meals on abr /patio 5 feet outside our room door, the pool was 10 feet away, etc.br /Everything was "in view", so Jack was able to roam the grounds, play,br /and explore, while we could be relaxing in a hammock, or finishing abr /leisurely breakfast. The pool has a terrific shallow area where Jackbr /could wade and play. He must have spent 2 hours a day in there!br /br /The cool thing is that although it was great for young kids, it alsobr /would have been great as a romantic hideaway if we were traveling alone,br /or as a fun hangout if we were there with a group of friends. The nicebr /thing about a small place like this, is that its character is largelybr /what you make it. And Karen seems just as comfortable hosting variousbr /types of guests, from those who want to hang out in the evening at thebr /treetop cafe overlooking the pool tossing back Belikin beers andbr /Caribbean drinks, to those who prefer playing hide-and-seek andbr /ring-around-the-rosie.br /br /The food was excellent - we ate breakfast and dinner there each day. Itbr /was interesting being asked via email before we left home what we wantedbr /for dinner when we arrived in Belize! My wife replied: "I'm mostlybr /vegetarian, my husband's not picky, and Jack would love just plainbr /noodles." No problem! We had a great meal waiting for us when webr /arrived, and everyone got exactly what they wanted. I would call thebr /food "homestyle" - not "fancy", but excellent, and plentiful. The kindbr /of food the cook Juani would serve you if you were a guest in her ownbr /home, and always served with a friendly smile.br /br /After leaving the Jungle Dome, we stayed at two other excellent placesbr /in different areas of Belize (HIdden Valley Inn and Hamanasi). Andbr /although we all had a great time at both, our son Jack kept saying "Ibr /really liked Karen's hotel. Can we go back to Karen's hotel?" Webr /hadn't booked the last two nights of our trip - leaving it openbr /depending on where we wanted to spend more time. We thought aboutbr /staying someplace else, like Jaguar Paw, for variety. But Jack lovedbr /"Karen's hotel" so much (and so did we), that there was no reason to gobr /anyplace else! So we came back for our last two nights.br /br /centera href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vvmx0ylX8zo/Sura5upH0SI/AAAAAAAAALk/gVwMTyiGhxc/s1600-h/F+Orchid+1.jpg"img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vvmx0ylX8zo/Sura5upH0SI/AAAAAAAAALk/gVwMTyiGhxc/s320/F+Orchid+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398367788664869154" //a/centerbr /br /Coming back to the Jungle Dome felt like coming home after 5 days away.br /It was fun coming back to people we now knew - Karen, Juani, guidebr /David, the house dogs Max and Phoebe, and the familiar pool and grounds.br /It was fun telling everyone about our week's adventures, and Karen wasbr /visibly touched by our "I liked Karen's hotel" story.br /br /A couple of other anecdotes:br /br /1) On the last night of our stay, I had the opportunity to do a "nightbr /jungle walk" with guide David. I highly recommend it. David drove mebr /and a couple of Karen's friends down a ridiculous overgrown dirt andbr /grass track, then onto a barely visible "path" through cornfields andbr /brush, to a great little trail through the jungle along the Belizebr /river. There, we hiked with headlamps, and got to see glowing eyes ofbr /kinkajoos and opossums hiding in the trees, a crocodile swimming in thebr /river, giant frogs, and lots of large spiders quietly spinning theirbr /webs. The jungle is alive at night! At one point, we stopped, turnedbr /off our flashlights, and sat silently in the dark on the jungle floorbr /for 5-10 minutes listening to the sounds of the jungle. A surrealbr /experience.br /br /2) On most of the mornings, I went for an early run along the dirt roadsbr /around the lodge. Past the Banana Bank Lodge and its horses, pastbr /groves of fruit trees, and through large clearings and pasturelandbr /surrounding by trees. So peaceful and invigorating. And each time,br /house dogs Max and Phoebe accompanied me the entire way - usually joinedbr /by a couple of other neighborhood dogs from the Banana Bank Lodge orbr /local homes. At one point, I was running down the road surrounded by 5br /dogs and a white horse(!) which ran a few yards with us as one of thebr /dogs was nipping at his heels. What a sight! (And normally I don'tbr /even *like* dogs!)br /br /centera href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vvmx0ylX8zo/SurbgDM2YDI/AAAAAAAAALs/cS7afR409NE/s1600-h/Whitehorse.JPG"img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vvmx0ylX8zo/SurbgDM2YDI/AAAAAAAAALs/cS7afR409NE/s320/Whitehorse.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398368447018459186" //a/centerbr /br /3) On two mornings, we woke up to the sounds of howler monkeys roaringbr /in the trees just across the river, tropical birds chasing each otherbr /around the huge Guanacaste tree just past the pool, various otherbr /tweets, and what sounded like a woodpecker right outside our door. Jackbr /sat up and asked "Daddy, why are all the animals talking at the same time?!"br /br /Anyway, if you like the idea of a small modern lodge, with beautifulbr /grounds, a great location, and friendly people, then I'd highlybr /recommend the Belize Jungle Dome!br /br /Len Granowetter and Amy Roscehelle - Somerville, Massachusetts, USAbr /br /October 2009/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8193308-8787426860106473144?l=belizevacation.blogspot.com' alt='' //div

Honeymoon flowers when we arrived (all fresh from around the jungle dome and beautiful!) and a great staff. David was a friend as soon as he picked us up from the airport, Karen has been extremely helpful with our tour and travel arrangements and we cannot say enough about the food!!! It was fantastic and the meal presentation was always impeccable.br /br /We did a 2 hour horseback ride the day we arrived which was nice but very strenuous for two people who hadn’t ridden in several years and who had just gotten off the plane!br /br /The ATM cave trip was very very cool. Very adventurous and crazy but we were kept safe and having a fun time – that was a once in a lifetime experience.br /br /We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to recommend The Jungle Dome to friends!br /br /TJ amp; Jessica Leebr /Asheville, North Caroline, USAbr /br /June 9th 2009br /br /hr /br /br /Like so many people before us, we don’t even know where to start ….everything was so fantastic, especially the people. The uniqueness of the Dome, the staff and the adventures were way beyond our expectations. Each trip holds special memories that we will never forget. The beauty of the grounds is inspiring, you have done such a fantastic job transforming this place into a paradise. There is not a single thing we would change about this trip! It was just the perfect mixture of adventure and relaxation, not to mention the delicious food that provided us with the energy to do all these day trips! We have certainly fallen in love with Belize and the Jungle Dome and hope to visit again.br /br /Emily amp; Kevin Samuelbr /Moosonee, Ontario, CANADAbr /br /July 2009br /br /hr /br /br /What a wonderful trip! From the dogs and cat to the wonderful and friendly staff, I instantly felt at home.br /br /I came here looking forward to experiencing the zip line and Black Hole Drop but found the ATM cave to be the most thrilling. The day trip to Tikal was great..I am so glad I made that trip.
