We stayed in a family cabana for 3 nights. Our cabin was simple and clean. There was no air conditioning but the ceiling fans cooled down the room just fine in the evening. The family that owns the Crystal Paradise was very welcoming and helpful about helping us plan activities while we were there. They were in no way pushy... More

Great hospitality, wonderful food and overall nice clean facility. More

We stayed here just a couple of nights, but would liked to have stayed longer and done more trips. The grounds were very nice. The thatched cabanas were nice. It is in the "jungle" of sorts, so insects are to be expected. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The owners would come and chat with guests at supper time.... More

We found the accommodations to be very adequate and a great value. We were attracted to the place because of its peaceful setting and the fact that is owned and operated by a Belizean family.

The food was wonderfully prepared home-style... More

I stayed here for about a week for a school trip, and while we did not spend much time at the actual resort (we were out doing tours and excursions all day usually), the time we did have there was great. The Tut family is very knowledgeable and hospitable. The surrounding forest was beautiful and we saw some great birds.... More
