Pine Ridge Lodge is a special place. Just go ahead and check out the reviews. They are not lying. Neil, Marcia, and the staff at Pine Ridge will do anything that they can to accommodate you and make your stay enjoyable.
The resort is definitely rustic and out in the wilderness, but it is impeccably clean, wonderfully decorated and appointed with whatever you need. There are personal touches (Neil would send us on excursions with a jug of water and plastic cups, as one example) and they really do try to make sure your stay is above and beyond expectations!
Neil helped us schedule tours to Caracol and also to the ATM cave. As other reviews have mentioned, the staff always asked what you wanted to eat the next day and prepared delicious food, dessert, and breakfast.
My 3 teenage kids also had an amazing experience.... interacting with Neil's family to Neil showing us some amazing animals on his property (chickens, guinea hens, turkeys, and also some Belizean wildlife). There is WiFi in the main lodge building but not in the cabins, so it's a good balance for screen time, if your teens are like mine!
Staying at Pine Ridge is the real deal....real Belize, real hospitality, and a really nice experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience and stay
Posted 22 Dec 2023 on HotelsThe property is stunning and in the middle of amazing nature (short hike to a waterfall, short drive to the best swimming hole we’ve ever experienced).
Great location, easy central access to all the amazing pine ridge forest experiences, Caracol, ATM, Xunantunich, San Ignacio, etc.
Immaculately clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms dripping with art (the use of daily incense kept all bugs completely out of our rooms as well).
Jose (property manager) had quick and timely communication with any questions beforehand and during all of our excursions which he personally made happen (so much better than a large tour group imo).
Neil (owner/chef) made absolutely amazing food. He asked us the morning/night before what we wanted ready for us making it incredibly easy as well.
Finally, truly wonderful people. It’s a small operation which I prefer, but in no way did that sacrifice any aspect of quality during our stay (and for us, enhanced it).
Thank you so much, true highlight of our trip!
Cheers until next time.

Could not recommend this place ENOUGH! Absolutely loved Pine Ridge for our stay in the Cayo district. The location was perfect for exploring Big Rock Falls, Rio on Pools, ATM cave etc, but outside of those things, Jose and Neil were just the best. Jose made sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed / planned. We had most of our meals at the lodge due to convenience and I wouldn't have had it any other way - Neil is a phenomenal cook and always asked what our preferences were and customized the meals to our liking. I looked forward to every meal because I knew it was going to be great! This place was perfect for a quiet, relaxing stay!

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night. Everything was perfect from the second we arrived. Jose greeted us at our car and was there for us if we needed anything at all. They cooked us a lovely dinner and sent us with a packed lunch and snacks the next day seeing we had to leave early. He also had coffee and a fruit plate ready for us before we left for Caracol. We booked the room by the river and it was clean and beautiful. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area. Can't wait to go back.

Quiet, relaxing stay. The property is so beautiful and relaxing- but be forewarned that you’re really “out there” so there’s no quick run to a drug store, so bring anything with you that you think you might need.
The lodges were airy and comfortable. Neil is so hospitable and a great cook. Jose is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for more and will stay longer next time!

I had a wonderful time at Pine Ridge Lodge. The staff, particularly Jose, are extremely helpful. It feels like family when you're there. I wish I'd booked for more than two nights! Best place I stayed during my whole 2 week trip.
