Ian Anderson’s Cave Branch Adventure was simply amazing. The setting in the jungle was truly beautiful almost to a spiritual level. It was completely refreshing staying there in nature. One of the best parts was all the staff including the adventure guides. Everyone was so nice, friendly, and hospitable. They made you feel like you belong there and were part of their family.

Incredible spot with super friendly staff. You are in the jungle and it shows in every way. The sounds at night make the price of admission worth it alone. Being on a lazy river and having a cool pool is icing on the cake. Had one issue with our first room but they got it all squared away.

Unique place. We love it there. The landscaping is impeccable. The staff goes above and beyond. The swimming pool is so fun for the family, with two waterfalls and a hot pool. Hard to get so close to nature and at the same time be so comfortable anywhere else. The view from the cottages by the river is breathtaking, the room is cozy and the decoration is great.

We stayed for a week and enjoy every moment of it. From the spectacular views of the jungle to exploring the histories of the Mayan and explore the historical cave. This was the most spectacular, and unique experience I have done. The only down side I can say is lights! Lights being set upon the wall way towards your rooms it gets really dark. Rather than that the stay was beautiful and will definitely be back in the future.

The property is a very unique property which offers a nice stay with opportunities of incredible views in the tropical jungle of Belize. My wife and I experienced a one week trip to the property that we will never forget as it offered such a different experience. It's not just a property which offers adventurous/exciting excursions. If you enjoy being in nature, the place is a must! The bird watching and horticulture experience is exceptional. We were able to join the owners and staff for their 2024 Halloween costume contest which was cool to be a part of. Unfortunately, we couldn't do everything due to rain but the staff was very accommodating and helped us plan alternative activities on short notice. We are now planning to bring our two kids (21 & 24) to the property sometime in the future as Belize is a country you should visit at least once in your life.

From the moment we stepped on property we had the feeling that we had found a special place in the jungle. The facilities were great, the tours were fun, but what made the resort different from all the others was the staff. My kids laughed and joked with them the entire time. The dinner service was fantastic with a four course dinner and two dinner options available each not. We traveled to other areas in Belize after leaving Caves Branch. However, my daughter said we should have saved the best for last because all the other hotels pale in comparison to our stay at Cabes Branch. Thanks to Geovani, Thomas, Leo, Alexander, Junior and all the other staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make it such a memorable stay.

It was an amazing trip and excellent resort! You have to go. I love the place, the view, very quit and the tours are very fun! We did the tubing, in the cave. Amazing tour, you can stay cool while its hot outside and you learn a lot. We went to the Zoo, Christain made it fun and took us to a restaurant with funny signs we were laughing all time. We also went to the Mayan Ruins, its tiring but fun, make sure you dress light and stay hydrated. Staff in the resort made our trip excellent. Very friendly staff. Tania, Angleita, Vector, Jose, Robert, Christian, Arnold and all of them nice and welcoming, and very professional! The room was just outstanding, be ready to make your workout for the week in one climb up 😆. The view was amazing. We were able to cleanse the stress of the whole year. One thing, be careful when dealing with Gio (one of the front desk team members) he will try to play smart, but he is sometimes confused about shuttle and tour prices, but he is nice and once you set the rules with him he would then help you!

Property was great, beds were comfortable, food was DELICIOUS, atmosphere was perfect, and everyone was friendly and helpful! Well thought out by Ian and Ella and well executed by them and their staff! Was really great to be able to talk to Ian in person since they live right above the lodge! Would love to come back but would CERTAINLY book direct with Ian's instead of through Expedia for this property in the future. Expedia makes it sound all-inclusive, but there were limitations (no bar snacks, only local-alcohol (not a huge deal for us) but no adventures were included (other than complimentary guided botanical gardens tour) since we booked through Expedia, whereas adventures would have been if we booked direct. Like booking through Expedia because we can book flights at the same time; and have never run into these discrepancies between all-inclusivity at other stays we'd run through Expedia. On the day our one excursion with the lodge was cancelled - due to weather - we found other activities to fill the 'void' quickly...checking out the Inland Blue Hole across the street from the property's driveway (just a short 10-20 min walk), walking the botanical gardens, and getting signed up that morning for afternoon horseback riding for our kids! We felt very safe and taken care of at Caves Branch and will recommend it to anyone! We'd love to come back for a longer stay to experience more of this wonderful country, property, and all the beauty and adventure it beholds!

A beautiful and adventurous gem in the jungle

Caves Branch is a beautiful place to stay, in the jungle surrounded by flowers, trees, and native birds. We (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed in one of the Jungle Suites, separated from other suites by trees; very private. It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and hear the birds singing, or listen to the distant sound of howler monkeys at night. There is a small botanical garden on-site, free kayaks that you can borrow to paddle on the river, and just walking the paths is lovely. The foods was incredible. A breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, omelet station, and pastries/pancakes every morning, a different 3-course dinner every night. We have dietary restrictions (1 lactose intolerant person, 2 gluten intolerant people) and we had plenty to eat. Vegetarians also have options, and I think vegans would do ok as well, though with less variety. You'd only be really restricted if you have multiple requirements, e.g. vegan AND gluten free. We did not do the tours the resort offers but heard great things about them from other guests. The only thing I'll note is that it is a combination of luxurious and rustic, as noted on the Caves Branch home website (though not necessarily on Hotels.com). The cabanas have screen walls (with curtains all around that can be closed for privacy), and some large bugs did get inside. There is an AC unit directly over the queen bed that will cool the bed area but not the whole cabin (bc of the screen walls). We loved it but it's not for everyone.

Ian Anderson's cave review

Firstly the Pros. The resort looks amazing, great scenery and surroundings. They definitely try to create an experience. The food is fresh and a lot of care and attention is given to it, the portions are also good. Swimming pools is nice and it is next to a river which you can swim in or kayak if weather permits The cons. Although the service is great when it works, it is inconsistent, they don't always respond quickly. They muddled my son's birthday cake and gave us the wrong cake which got mixed up with a couples anniversary cake, this was a massive blunder and could not be rectified. The pricing of the food is not clear and transparent, sometimes it's a buffet and sometime a fixed menu but the pricing is not clearly communicated. The onsite activities are over priced especially when you include resort fees on top. You could book these directly for cheaper if you have a car Sometimes it feels they pester you with booking activities There is no wifi in the rooms which is not great when it rains as you are mostly stuck in your room The rooms don't have windows instead they have mosquito nets, so if it gets really hot the AC in the room is not effective
