“Undescribeable experience - fabulous!”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

My husband and I stayed at MET in February, 2013. It was fantastic! We thought the views at MET were some of the prettiest we saw in Belize, and there were a lot of beautiful vistas to behold in Belize! As I see others have noted in their reviews, I had the best night's sleep in our casita - we... More

“FABULOUS!”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

Can't say enough about MET. This charming lodge's mountain location is so serene filling your senses with colorful, fragrant vegetation, an abundance of birds, unique sounds of frogs, birds, neighing horses and howler monkeys, and refreshing breezes. It's a perfect place to relax when you are not on one of the many adventures offered such as half and full day... More

Thank you so much! We really appreciate your time and effort and great description of the place, activities, and people of MET. We look forward to your return! More

“Wonderful people, wonderful trip.”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

The trail guides were all experienced. The food was wonderful. If anything we were overfed. I'm looking forward to returning. I am going to ride a lot more often before I leave home for my next trip to cut down on the soreness. We're going back. Mike, Maureen, and Danielle.

Thank you for writing so quickly after your return, especially knowing how busy you are, it means so much to us! We learned so much from you and look forward to your return. We'll cut down on the rations if necessary. :) More

“Top Notch”

Reviewed 6 March 2013

I can't say enough about MET and the people who run it. It's in the interior of Belize and you don't have to be into horses to fall in love wit the place. The family-run center will custom build you any trip you want. The food is some of the best I had on a two-week trip and I wanted... More

“Wonderful vacation”

Reviewed 1 March 2013

Great way to see the interior of Belize, even if you're life does not center around horses. Aaron and staff do a wonderful job of taking care of their guests, including custom food, trips, horses, whatever. Beautiful cabins, great food, fantastic scenery, friendly people. By the second day we all seemed like old friends, and look forward to returning.

Thank you! I appreciate you pointing out that guests do not necessarily have to be horse riding enthusiasts. Even novice riders can enjoy this method of seeing Belize, up close and personal. We look forward to seeing our new "old friends" again one day! More

“Unbelievable”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

A trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend any opportunity to take a trip with MET. My brothers and I were looking for a multi-day backpacking trip. We did not want a pre-packaged trip that only goes to the obvious, touristy spot. I emailed a few Eco-lodges and was directed to Arran Bevis by several of them. Arran designed exactly... More

I returned from MET a week ago and cannot stop thinking about the experience. One cannot adequately describe the adventure, the beauty and the spirit of MET in words...you have to experience it for yourself. The Bevis family and their staff were warm, charming, knowledgeable, had great stories to tell and treated us as if we were part of their... More

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I'm sorry I was away when you were here but the family told me they enjoyed meeting you. Thank you for choosing MET! More
