8/10 Very good

Amazing place in the jungle. Nice room with own pool and river view. But icluded breakfast was very very simple. No hot food or you need pay extra. Only few cakes and hot beverage. Acommodation price is high so you expect better breakfast. Restaurant overpriced. Prices in USD dollars. I'ts strange.Not all quests are from USA. Road to resort terrible with low car. Overall I will give 4 stars not 5 for this resort.

Belize Mystic River
The staff, the food, the service all excellent. Only comment is that having a massage during the rain on the yoga platform was not up to your standards. We had to ask several times for our massage to be in our rooms instead of freezing out in the open. Other than that our stay was very good and I would highly recommend Mystic River to anyone going to Belize.

6/10 Good

Overpriced for what it really was
The resort in itself is very well located overlooking the Macal River. We paid extra to get a "Cloud 9 Suite) with a little pool in our terrace but unfortunately that little pool was too cold to soak and enjoy. Other than that, the room was comfortable even though the faucet and shower were of poor quality. Our biggest disappointment was the quality of the food which was also overpriced for the quality and size served. Also, we thought that offering a "continental" breakfast, when you pay your room a total of $320/night, was a little stingy since they always charge extra should you want eggs. It's better to add $20 to the daily rate and offer a full breakfast. Overall, we had a good time but it was just ok and certainly overpriced for what it was.

What an awesome experience at Mystic River! After researching several places to stay in the Belizean jungle, my girlfriend, friends, and I decided on this one. The staff went above and beyond for our stay, even throwing a thought out surprise dinner for our friend’s bday. Steve, Leo, Sylvia, and Darwin were top notch and provided both great service and a wonderful experience with conversation and suggestions. The ambiance was everything we were hoping for and love the secluded jungle environment. Would highly recommend booking any tours through them as well, especially the ATM one which exceeded all expectations. Thank you Mystic River!! 10/10

My wife and I stayed a few here for our 10 year anniversary and absolutely loved it! The staff was great and very helpful, our room and the adjoining private plunge pool were clean and well built, the restaurant was amazing, the facilities were well cared for. Definitely will be coming back next time we visit Belize! The tours and massages were also very good! Would recommend!

It was amazing. The food was delicious. The staffs were friendly and very accommodating. The only problems we had was the room had no AC or mini fridge. If it had it this resort would be a five.

It was exactly what the Dr ordered: peaceful, quiet, serene, tucked right in the jungle with nature. Couldn’t get enough. Almost cried when we had to leave. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing stay in San Ignacio!

Our stay at the Mystic River resort was fantastic. We stayed for 5 nights and I am glad that we were there for that amount of time. There are so many great activities to do in the area and we used the lodge as a base. We spend 1 day doing local activities and relaxing in the lodge. Highly recommend their tours as they are flexible and private. We just booked the night before. The restaurant is fantastic! I highly recommend the lodge as a place to decompress and enjoy nature.

This was an amazing property and we had a wonderful time. It is off the beaten path. There is no air conditioning so when it is sweltering it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. We had plenty of fans and slept with all the windows open.

Mystic River Resort feels like you are staying in the Congo with an amazing staff, food, drinks, and rooms. The rooms do not have AC so we recommend staying here in the winter/spring unless you are used to the humid heat. The excursions available all around are awesome! And the food/drinks within town are amazing and CHEAP! We will definitely be back to the resort in the winter for a cooler experience as we see more temples.
