Gumbo Limbo Jungle Resort

Christine and Jay knew the local restaurants well and gave us great tips for trying Belizean specialties. Every place they recommended turned out to be a gem. We were happy spending most evenings right at the resort, though. The patio was a lovely spot for drinks and dinner, and the menu had plenty of good choices. The stewed chicken with beans and rice was a favourite. Everything the kitchen staff made was outstanding, so it was hard to go wrong. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and cared for while still feeling like jungle. Our room was spotless, and the bed may have been the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. The main resort and pool areas were fantastic, and with the amazing weather, we were especially glad to have that beautiful pool. Chris and Jay were pleasant and accommodating, always anticipating what we might need. The Gumbo Limbo staff were friendly, skilled, and second to none. We loved our time at Gumbo Limbo Jungle Resort and can’t think of much that could have made the stay better. Thanks for a great visit. We’ll see you again!

The grounds were beautiful, clean, and well kept, and our rooms were up to date. Jay and Christine took care of us far beyond what you’d normally expect from owners. It felt almost like having a private resort. They served dinner whenever we wanted, and the food was very good. The drinks were excellent, too. They also gave us sound advice about local happenings, restaurants, places to visit, and tours. My family and I highly recommend this place.

We had a relaxing, pleasant stay, and the large grounds were nice to walk around. There’s a pool, and their adopted dogs kept us company. We heard there was a stray horse roaming the nearby hills, but didn’t get to see it. The couple running the place were warm and really had everything dialed in. The rainforest setting is beautiful, with plenty of activities and sights nearby. Their guide recommendations for Mayan ruins and places to eat made us very happy with what we experienced. They provided a light breakfast, and dinner was available for a small charge. We had some of the best stewed chicken of our whole trip. We’ll be going back.

We’re here as a family of ten, and Jay and Christine have been wonderful hosts. Since it’s our first time in Belize, we’ve had lots of questions, and they’ve been very helpful and knowledgeable. The villas are very clean, and the food has been delicious. We ended up having all our dinners here, even though that wasn’t our original plan. It’s very centrally located for our excursions. I’d suggest getting an AWD car. We’d definitely stay here again.
