Black Rock Jungle River Lodge

Frommer's Review

So, you really want to get away from it all? Well, this is the place. To reach Black Rock, you travel 6 miles (10km) down a dirt road and a mile (1.6km) alongside the Macal River. The setting, on a high bluff overlooking the Macal River, is one of the nicest in the area. Swimming and inner tubing on the river from the lodge are excellent. The deluxe cabanas are truly beautiful, with stone floors, two queen beds, plenty of large screened windows, and views of the valley and river below from a private veranda. The standard cabanas and shared bathroom units are quite comfortable and beautifully situated as well. Meals are served in the large open-air dining room and main lodge area, which also has a fabulous view of the river below and forests all around. Dinners are served family-style, while breakfast and lunch can be ordered a la carte. This lodge is owned by the same folks who run Caesar's Place at Mile Marker 60 on the Western Highway; you can just get yourself dropped off there before continuing on to Black Rock. If you're driving, take the turnoff for Chaa Creek and duPlooy's, and then follow the signs to Black Rock.
