We love getting videos and photos from our guests and this one is a beauty. From Steve Fief who returned to the Dome for a second visit, this time with his Dad, Mark (His first trip outside the USA). Steven and Mark did the 7 Night Reef and Ruins Package, booked through the Belize Jungle Dome. If you want "laid back adventure" then this is it. Enjoy.

•  Friendly staff and excellent food! (Loved the fresh orange juice and the fry jacks for breakfast) 
• Clean and comfortable room (Loved the fridge and coffee maker) 
• Beautiful surroundings and wonderful sounds of the jungle (Orange trees, flowers, howler monkeys, horses galloping, and birds, plus roosters too!) 
• Refreshing pool and relaxing hammocks…aahhhh! 
• Daytrips to the ruins, cave tubing with David, the Blue Hole to swim, and driving on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway. 
• Also, the visit to Iguana Conservation Project in San Ignacio, was lots of fun (I think I’ve already taken over 1000 photos in three days)

Andy, Simone, David, Nora, Wanni, Lucas, Aidan, and the rest of the staff; What an amazing 4 days! Everything was so much fun, and the guides were so well-informed, it is hard to pick a favorite.
The first day we went to the Xunantunich Mayan site; quite interesting, with Junior as our guide;

Then on to the Iguana Park.

Next day was to Cave’s Branch tubing, as we floated through limestone cave, and then down a gentle river with Fernando.

The next day to Caracol Mayan ruins, Rio Frio Cave, and Rio on waterfalls and swimming area with Bruce.

Every day was new and exciting, and our room was always clean when we got back, besides an excellent breakfast and dinner every day. Your staff is what made it so special.

On day one at the airport we met David, and he drove us every day and become a good friend to us. He was great company and an amazing young man.

Best of luck to you all! Hope to see you again. This trip was for a 50th anniversary and Simone (as busy as she is) even remembered, and made us a card. What a group!

Dear Jungle Dome team,

Many thanks for an amazing introduction to Belize over the past 5 days, from the pick-up at the airport and trip to the zoo, and throughout the action-packed few days, I’ve had a great time experiencing a variety of activities, including my first ever horse ride and the beautiful ATM caves.

At the end of each adventure, it has been wonderful to have that feeling of coming ‘home’ to the Jungle Dome, and being made to feel part of the family, with lovely home-cooked meals, a comfy, homely room, and great conversations.

Thanks for the tips and advice, I am sure I will use in San Pedro in the coming days. You have a lovely place, and I will definitely  recommend it to anyone coming out here.

Belize Jungle Dome is AWESOME! David, our caretaker, has been amazing! He is full of knowledge about the sights we’ve asked him about. He is so interesting to talk to.

The meals have been very convenient, especially since we were over Easter weekend, when most restaurants have been closed. The pool is a refreshing break when we get back from our tours.

Make sure you do the cave tubing/zip-lining. St. Herman’s cave and the Blue Hole is an interesting side trip. Tomorrow we head to Mountain Pine Ridge and the, sadly, we have to leave the Jungle Dome, and head to San Ignacio.

We’ll always remember our stay here, and how welcome David made us feel.  I plan on writing a fantastic TripAdvisor review!

Dear Jungle Dome family,

This has been a home away from home…Simone, Andy, their kids, David, Marina, Tella, Wani, and all the crew, thanks to all of you for your hospitality, delicious food, cozy apartment, incredible spirit and beautiful energy.

I just leave my heart in Belize. I had, not only, a great time and amazing vacation, I also learned so much about the culture, history, and traditions.

God bless you!
Love and peace, Claudia

This place is simply fantastic…and unique. The scenery is beautiful, the dogs are protective, the service is great, the food is amazing and the people are wonderful.

We feel like we have made a lifelong friend in David. 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. Test him on his knowledge of the land and the birds and his Texas Holdem Skills!

We did the Caracol and the Cave Tubing/Zip Line tours with Luis and the ATM Tour with Emil.

The best thing about our experience is everything we learned from David, Luis and Emil. These guys have a wealth of knowledge and are willing to share with anyone who asks. We hope to never forget anything on this trip but will certainly never forget the people we have met.

Thanks Jungle Dome!!

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!

Thank you all for an absolutely wonderful experience! The trips, food and service were tip top quality - couldn’t have asked for more. All I have to say is: "Thank God for Trip Advisor for pointing us to the Jungle Dome!"

Where do I ever begin? Our trip to Belize has been absolutely amazing and we owe it all to the Jungle Dome staff! When we missed our connecting flights due to weather delays, I emailed Karen in a panic and she quickly called me back and explained that she would simply change our itinerary to accommodate the change. Karen managed to change our stressful situation into a very relaxing and comforting one.

We were greeted by David at the airport, who was very cheerful and told us great stories on our way to the Jungle Dome. Delicious meal and Amigo’s - Good recommendation!

We loved the serene setting here and enjoyed David’s signature Coconut drink : )

Our favourite excursion was the ATM cave, an absolute ‘must do’ while here! That’s not to say that any of the other trips were less than spectacular.



I definitely recommend the Blackhole Drop for the thrill seekers, cave tubing for families and zip-lining and kayaking for the adventurous...and when in doubt, the pool is great too!

The meals were great. Today’s brownie with cream cheese filling was just sinful. I hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did. Thanks again to Karen, David and the rest of the Jungle Dome staff for an unforgettable vacation!!

My husband and I are here on the second leg of 3 of our honeymoon….and what an adventure! I would first like to say that we have been to many adventurous and historical places but none quite like this. We actually started our trip in Guatemala and then flew to Belize where we were greeted by Luis at the airport. He was immediately warm, funny and incredibly knowledgeable. We knew we were headed to the Jungle Dome but the Jungle Dome has far surpassed any expectations we may have had.

The staff has been excellent with just the right amount of attention. The Chefs….my hats off to them! I wish I could spend a month or two learning how they cook. Everything is delicious and made from scratch!

Where to adventure to? We are here during the rainy season so our activities have been debated on a daily basis. We first went to the Belize Zoo, guided by Luis who was able to give us an extensive history on the animals and Flora. We got to see the jaguars, puma, harpey eagle and many other wonderful Belizean creatures.

Our next day was a full day – tour of the ruins. Luis again was our guide. We told him his brain was going to explode one of these days for how much information he holds in there. He is a true historian and an invaluable aspect of this resort and our time here.

Next off to Che Chem Ha Cave. Our guide and care taker of the cave was very much spiritually connected to the history and spirit of the cave. Definitely for the active individual who is not afraid of dark enclosed spaces. If you make it in there – what a life-altering experience.

The Black Hole Drop was a vigorous hike only to descend via the mountain between a massive opening between two once-connected caves. The staff was truly professional and knowledgeable. We were quite lucky that only the two of us were on that tour as we were able to trek all the way in the cave. It was one of those experiences that puts into perspective how small we are in the grand scheme of things.

Today is our final day here before we are off to one of the islands. With room for one more adventure (cave tubing).

We have enjoyed our stay and even wish we had booked longer but as always, so much to do, so little time.



Thank you Jungle Dome for all the Amazing memories!

Absolutely fantastic!! We will recommend the Jungle Dome and Belize to family and friends. There is no question that if I didn’t have prior commitments (same family and friends listed above and a job) then I would stay here and work!!

The people here are kind, the weather is fantastic and the food is fantastic. My wife and I are here on our honeymoon and we couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate.

Oh yeah, also the ATM cave tour is a must. Of the adventures we did (Black Hole Drop, Cave Tubing, Zip Line, Kayaking) the ATM was far and away the most amazing.

The Jungle Dome is a wonderful place. The grounds are beautiful, the food is yummy and the staff couldn’t be nicer. They are wonderful. We had a lot of fun zip lining, cave tubing and exploring. We faced our fears of spiders, scorpions and snakes and the jungle is now our friend! We will never forget our stay at the Jungle Dome.

I am sad to say this is our last night here at the Belize Jungle Dome. These past few days have been paradise for us. The culture and rich history of Belize just seem to entrap you making you never want to leave. The staff here have been beyond excellent. I feel that we have definitely received the royal treatment for our honeymoon.

Upon our arrival we were greeted by Luis, who gave us a history lesson as we drove in from the airport. He is such a wealth of knowledge. Karen made us feel right at home and our candle-light dinner on the balcony of our room was perfect. The food was beyond compare at every single meal.



Our first adventure was to Caracol with Luis and once again we learned so much. I think this adventure was one of my favourites. The Mayans were such an interesting people and Luis never missed a beat with trying to show us everything. Our next adventures consisted of cave tubing with Luis, ATM with Orlando, horseback riding with Cesar and a trip to the zoo with David. ATM was definitely an experience I will never forget. It’s extremely challenging trying to get to the cathedral but well worth the trip. If you have time for the zoo it is a must.

Everyone here – Karen, Luis, David, Wani, Tea and the rest of the staff – have made this a trip of a lifetime. Getting to know them and where they come from and the rich history here will definitely bring me back for another trip to Belize.

The ATM Cave was probably my favourite trip. It’s a challenge but the cathedral is amazing. Luis is awesome. He is basically a history book on legs and he is not bad with the botany and zoology either. I loved listening to Karen’s and David’s stories of how they ended up at the Jungle Dome. Karen makes me want to pack up and move to Belize and David is a complete inspiration. The food has been excellent and I am going home fat! I loved the zoo and horseback riding was a blast! Everyone here has been so nice and helpful. I can’t wait to come back.

Andy, Simone, David, Louis and everyone here,

Our trip was spectacular. The zoo was incredible-we learned so much & the animals were so close!

The horse riding was great. Fast for those who wanted and slow for those who didn’t. The cowboys were wonderful. Cave tubing was relaxing. The zip line was fun-especially the rappelling at the end!! And ATM was the absolute BEST trip of all! Thanks so much for making us feel like family.

We had a hard time choosing where to go for our honeymoon. After all, it is a pretty big world! But we are so happy that we stumbled upon Belize and the Jungle Dome!

We could not have imagined a better trip if we wanted to. Between the ATM cave, Caracol, Cave Tubing, Zip Lining and the overnight stay in the Black Hole Drop cave, many amazing memories were created. Also, thank you so much for your hospitality.



The food was wonderful, our room stayed clean, everyone was very helpful, much information was offered and service was always given with an eager smile!

This trip’s success had everything to do with your hard work so thanks again!

Good luck to you all.

From start to finish the trip was excellent. Andy was very helpful and patient with all of our questions and requests with the planning of the trip and everything went so smoothly. We enjoyed all of our activities, every person we met and every meal.

To our surprise, we enjoyed our time here at the Jungle Dome more than our time in San Pedro. The staff was so friendly and helpful we couldn’t have asked for more.

I'm sure you hear this from all of your guests... the Jungle Dome staff was fantastic! the activities were well planned and very fun! and the place was very well kept and beautiful! I will be more than happy to recommend your services and location to anyone who is looking to visit Belize.

Thank you so much for making our trip to Belize so memorable.

We had a terrific day trips to Che Chem Ha/Xunantunich, Barton Creek Caves, Butterfly Farm, Rio on Pools and River Cave Tubing – all highly recommended. We love Belize ~ thank you for all you have done to make it memorable.

This was my second trip to Belize, and my second stay at the Jungle Dome! This time I brought the whole family, (two adults and 5 kids) and what a wonderful time we had!

The resort is small, quiet and quaint, and situated in a perfect spot for reasonably quick access to all the jungle type tours. A perfect place to come "home" to after a day of touring.

The rooms are very spacious and clean, the staff is super friendly, and the food is fantastic! Everything made from scratch and lots of it! My "kids", ages 15-29, are still talking about the food!



Must do tours: The Black Hole drop, The ATM caving tour and the Cave tubing. Wouldn't recommend the Zipline. I didn't think it was good value for the money....but then if you've ever done the Zipline in Whistler, B.C., Canada, it's really hard to find something that will compare to that!

All in all, a fabulous trip thanks in a very large part to the Jungle Dome and their great staff!!

My second visit to the Jungle Dome, this time with my daughter Jodi and grandson Alex. How wonderful to relive an incredible adventure through my grandson’s 10 year old eyes! Once again the staff treated us like extended family ~ hospitality superb and the meals wonderful. Luis was a fabulous guide, always up for something different on our adventures together ~ and as a result we found the ‘real’ crystal cave on the river tubing trip! A 45 minute trip ended up taking 3 hours! Very awe-inspiring and great fun! Thanks so much Karen, Andy, David and all staff. We enjoyed our family holiday immensely.
