My Trip Review - San Francisco, California, USA - Dias Family - March 29 2008


This trip exceeded our expectations ~ we had a fabulous time! The food was wonderful, the trips were amazing and having everything so well planned out was incredible!

Everything we did was an adventure. Luis, our guide, was the best ~ we learned so much of the history and current culture of Belize from him.

Many many thanks to Karen, David & Wani for a trip of a lifetime!

We hope to see you all again soon.

Smarter Travel Off Peak Summer Vacations - Belize Jungle Dome


Bordered by Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea, Belize is an ideal choice for a summer getaway. Although summer is Belize's "green" or rainy season, you needn't fear spending your vacation huddled under an umbrella—rain showers are brief and usually don't last for long.



A trip to Belize can include beach time, an island getaway, and inland adventure trips, all during one vacation. Plus, accommodations and activities are deeply discounted in summer, so your trip can be significantly less expensive than it would be during other times of year.

My Trip Review - Wilmette, Illinois, USA - Cathy and Lauren Azuma - March 25th 2008

We knew we wouldn’t want to leave and that is an understatement. It has been like being able to visit family in Belize ~ that’s how it feels.



Highlights were Tikal, which was astonishing, the Belize Zoo, and yesterday’s trek through the ATM cave to see the Mayan archaeology remains at the top of the cave. Very gruelling but truly a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone here is so kind and makes you feel that the Dome is home.

Thanks to all and hope we’ll see you again soon.

Fondly,

My Trip Review - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - Kristin Coffan - April 28 2008

From start to finish the trip was excellent. Andy was very helpful and patient with all of our questions and requests with the planning of the trip and everything went so smoothly. We enjoyed all of our activities, every person we met and every meal.







To our surprise, we enjoyed our time here at the Jungle Dome more than our time in San Pedro. The staff was so friendly and helpful we couldn’t have asked for more.



I'm sure you hear this from all of your guests... the Jungle Dome staff was fantastic! the activities were well planned and very fun! and the place was very well kept and beautiful! I will be more than happy to recommend your services and location to anyone who is looking to visit Belize.



Thank you so much for making our trip to Belize so memorable.

My Trip Review - Thornhill, Ontario + Vancouver, Canada - March 2008

WOW!!! The food, the birds, the trips….it all was amazing. It was just like sleeping in the aviary at the zoo but better because there aren’t any cages. Plus we got to see wild monkeys. It was fabulous!

My Trip Review - Charlotte, North Carolina + Ohio, USA - March 2008


We are all so sad to leave the Jungle Dome. We are off to the beach but all agree that we would rather stay here for two more days.

The entire staff was amazing. You made us feel special. We came with our in-laws and sister’s family. This will be a trip that we never forget.

Thank you!

Trip Review - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - March 3rd 2008

Dear Jungle Dome Family

We had an absolutely amazing time staying here with you for the first time and hopefully not the last! Everyone was so welcoming, the food was a delight and we looked forward to each morning!

David was a great guide and companion on all our adventures and Karen did a great job planning out our days so that we got to do everything that we most wanted to do in this short time. Especially local-type stuff.



Loved the jungle night walk, catching iguanas by the river and watching David carve out a paddle with a machete in under five minutes, the ATM tour with Orlando and swimming in the cave.

Hope to see you all again soon!
