To all the staff:
Karen, your charm & personality shone through in everything from the first email when we spoke, to the phone calls before we arrived. We thank you for your kindness and professionalism and making our trip such a memorable one. To the lovely girls who cooked our fabulous meals and huge portions and the impeccable cleanness of our rooms each day….fabulous.

Dear Karen and Staff
Thank you so much for helping me and my family have such a wonderful time in Belize! Every part of this vacation was amazing.
The wonderful view from our villa, the delicious chocolate chip cookies, the impeccable cleanliness of the house, the beautiful flowers, the super delicious food and most of all your kindness and hospitality, making us all feel at home!
All of the excursions you helped us experience were breathtaking! We loved the kayaking and the Black Hole Drop – which we will never forget!
Hope to see you sometime soon with the rest of the family!

Belize can be an intimidating place. Bear Grylls the intrepid TV explorer ventures into this wild country and shows the extreme side of jungle survival.

To all,
In speaking of the incredible experience which we had here in Belize & at the Jungle Dome, I feel like we’d be echoing the very same positive sentiment which have been elaborated far more eloquently on the previous pages, so instead we offer the following tips to future travellers:
1. Definitely partake in the board game playing in the evening, but be very wary of David’s rules in checkers.
2. Be open to trying any and all new foods you are served, even when offered termites or iguana!
3. A notable exception to rule number 2 is the ‘Jackass bitter’ leaf - the name should speak for itself (as should your common sense, unlike mine)
4. Do whatever it takes to cheat your way through the 9 trials of Xibalba...bring a headlamp too!
5. We found all of the remaining crystal skulls, so do not bother searching the ruins for them (but definitely take time to visit them regardless!)
In all seriousness, this made for the perfect venue & overall experience for an unforgettable, adventurous honeymoon. We were both very taken by the kindness of everyone we encountered, especially here at the Jungle Dome.
All our best to the lovely Hunt family and the incredible staff, James & Christine Giardina, Norfolk, VA, USA July 2009
Belize Trip Review - Bob and Lisa Beidelman, Jacksonville, Florida, USA - July 2009
The selection of staying at the Jungle Dome was a gift from heaven for us. Staying at the lodge was like being with family. We will be sad to leave. We appreciated all of the attention and exquisite service for meals, service and excursions. Much thanks to all of the staff and guides.
We will always remember our stay in paradise at the Jungle Dome and remember all of you in our hearts.
Thank you for sharing your home with us,

Belize Trip Reviews - New York and London, England - May, June 2009
What a wonderful place. Thanks to all of you at the Dome for making this an experience to remember. The staff are exceptional, the food fantastic and the location idyllic.
All the excursions we did were great, ATM & Blackhole Drop excellent. Nothing was left to chance, the planning meticulous. My only regret is there wasn’t more time to do more. Will have to come back & do it next time.
Thank you so much. See you again,

We can’t thank you all enough for making our time here so amazing. All our tours were excellent, well organized and well described. My favourite was the Blackhole Drop! The food was out of this world and thank you for my ‘special needs’ so brilliantly. Karen was fantastic!! Answered all our questions (and there were many : )
David, thank you so much for our endless nature walks. We enjoyed exploring the jungle and gardens with you so very much. Thanks for sharing it with us. And Luis, you’ve been very informative and extremely interesting. Thanks.
Overall, nothing felt like it was too much for you guys. You’ve gone out of your way to make us feel at home and most of all to enjoy our time here with you. We can’t thank you enough.
We can’t wait to come back. If any of you ever come to London, you have a place to stay!
Thanks again. Regards, Lisa and Mark London, U.K. P.S. We will miss the dogs very much. 11th June, 2009
