Crystal Paradise Resort

My husband and I stayed her for three nights and really enjoyed ourselves! The following are the pros and cons: PROS: The place is beautiful! The landscaping is wonderful and the sleeping accommodations are clean and well maintained (good mattress too!). We ate dinner there one night and breakfast each morning. The food was quite good. Each morning, they feed the birds and a great variety of them come to the feeders. It's a great way to start your day! We took a guided canoe trip early one morning and loved the tranquility as well as the birds we saw along the way. Due to having somewhat limited mobility, they went above and beyond to accommodate me in getting me to the river and back. They go above and beyond for their guests. Though you're in the jungle, it's only a short drive to San Ignacio - a perfect combo. The delicious Cam's Bakery Restaurant is only three minutes down the street. Make sure you eat there one night. It's delish! CON'S: I hate to even list any cons, but there are a couple things that I feel should be mentioned. For someone who has some mobility issues, the very low toilets were tough on this gal's knees. Prior to getting the new higher toilets in our house, we had the lower ones and I think these are even lower than those. There were some steps that didn't offer any type of hand railing. Again, tough for those that need or prefer something to hold onto. I want to be clear that this is not just an issue with this property. Belize is not too ADA aware. It wasn't the only place that I found these issues, but I wanted to bring it to the attention to those who might be considering the facility and want this information. The last con was that you might wake up to no water to shower or flush the toilet and might have to wait an hour or so for it to re-establish itself. We encountered this one of the four mornings we were there. It seems to only be a morning thing. With this all said, the Tutt family takes great pride in their resort and ensuring that everyone has the best stay possible. We loved the tranquility of the resort and the warmth shown by the staff.

Our family of four (kids 8 and 11) stayed with the Tut family at Crystal Paradise for 4 nights, March 23- 27, 2025 . Eric picked us up from the airport and led us on 3 day trips throughout our time at Crystal Paradise. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. We always felt safe under his guidance. Carolita and the kitchen staff took amazing care of our picky eaters and made sure we ate delicious meals that were wholesome and nutritious for all of our day excursions. Alba is an amazing office manager, who was very responsive to all of my questions. As this was the first time our family traveled out of the country, we were nervous but excited. Eric, Alba, Carolita and the Tut family welcomed us with open arms and took amazing care of our family. We were so lucky to have found Crystal Paradise and so grateful that they took such thoughtful care of us on our first trip to Belize.

Beautiful property with wonderful staff! We took advantage of the resort's transfer and tour services, which was a great decision. We were very well taken care of and I will be staying here again in the future 🙂
