about chaa creek lodge, cayo district

In a place of diverse ecology, wild jungle, rich civilisations and archaeological sites, Chaa Creek Lodge has become recognised as a great example of green tourism in Belize. Within a 365 acre reserve, the resort is surrounded by wildlife and natural history and there are vibrant, rich cultures to discover, such as the Maya civilisation.

Despite being such a nature and community focused resort, the accommodation is surprisingly luxurious and comfortable. A variety of palm thatched cottages are available, as well as luxurious suites; some in the garden, others in the tree tops, yet all with their own private Jacuzzi and unique, solid furnishings.
