Hi folks,
I need help deciding where to stay in Cayo district. I admit I need the extras like A/C,TV and swimming pool. Therefore, I have narrowed it down to Mopan River Resort OR the new Ka'ana Boutique Resort. MPR is the better price by far. Ka'ana is $400 per night. That sounds like a lot for Belize.
Has anyone stayed at either property?

Any other luxury resorts in the area.?

Thanks
Mary

I stayed at the Mopan River Resort about a year and a half ago. We really enjoyed it. It was nice to have all the transfers and tours included in the price. Ka'ana is right off the highway and I met a few guests there that complained about the smell of car exhaust on the grounds. $400 a night plus food plus excursions seems very overpriced to me.

The only drawback to the MPR is the set schedule of activities. You can't pick and choose what you want to do on a particular day- the owners let you know what the next day's excursion will be at dinner the night before. This was fine with us, but if you need control over your itinerary another hotel would be a better choice. I loved all the excursions they planned. The trip to the pottery cave and Tikal were the highlights.

I will second what Essiedot said. Mopan was great! I was there a few years ago, under the old ownership, but a friend from Tripadvisor, who I reco'd it to and went a couple of years ago said it was still great.

Having where I was going each day dictated to me wasnt a problem because I knew the area well, and picked the place because every excursion sounded excellent. I had already been to Tikal, but it was worth going a 2nd time. They may be able to be slightly flexible about trips they do multiple times in a week, but trips like Tikal or Caracol are only done once a week, so you have to go when theyre scheduled.

You might see some old negative reviews about barking dogs and evangelical churches broadcasting, but it wasnt that bad. It's a real town across the river and you get the positives and negatives of that.
