Nabitunich

We loved the beauty. The staff and food were incredible. Great location (although hard to find in the dark since the highway had construction). This place is wonderful

Off the beaten track gem A hidden, unique location complete with knowledgeable, personable, engaging host. Hot breakfast with local ingredients, meaningful conversations, cozy commons area. Arrived during a hot spell, but fans made it bearable. all in all a recommended base to explore western belize!

Nabitunich is a destination on its own right, worth making the trip to Belize. It is a place with a heart and character. It felt like a rural heaven on Earth. Location: don't let the fact that it is outside of town dissuade you- getting here is very easy because the property is on the main highway to the border with Guatemala. From Belize city you can take any bus going to Flores, Benque or San Ignacio and stop at San Ignacio/Benque and take a cheap taxi from there or ask to be stopped at the road leading to Nabitunich, like we did. We also asked the bus to take us from the nearby Mopan Gas Station for our onward journey to Flores in Guatemala. The fact that it's outside towns means you have piece and quiet and lots of space to go for walks and lots of wildlife. San Ignacio town didn't look great, so we had no desire to even go there. There is a lot to do around Nabitunich- we rented horses with a guide to go to the nearby Mayan historic site along the river, which was a great experience and we highly recommend it. There are also different walking paths in the forrest and along the river to go for safe walks. Finally- the person running the place Dominic made our stay extra special- he is super friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, with a great sense of humour and it was a pleasure spending time with him. Thank you for our stay, Dominic! Also thank you to all the warm and hardworking staff of Nabitunich who made sure the who place is clean, beautiful and who cooked the food.

I have travelled to over 80 countries. Stayed in thousands of low to mid range accomodations. I am not exaggerating when I say Nabitunich was the best. Dominic and his family were incredible hosts along with his amazing staff. Ive never felt so sad to leave an accomodation. A 10 minute walk to the river for great swimming and a little fishing. Walking amongst the cows, sheep, horses, was awesome. We even made great friends with the family pets. If you walk to the left at the river about 20 minutes you arrive in a protected area with howler monkeys. We saw 8 and even a mama & baby. On the property we saw fireflies, hummingbirds, and Toucans. The mayan ruins of Xunatunich is mere minutes away. We stayed 3 nights. We bought the package that included dinner for only another $9USD for 3. Food was excellent and aithentic. The common areas were amazing and Dominic was always engaging guests in conversation which led to everyone making quick friends. Rooms were clean. The farm has been in the family since before WW1. Thank you Dominic & family. You truly live in a magical destination. From the bottom of our heart our family thanks you & wishes you all the best.

The proprietor Dennis was awesome. The area has a wealth of sites, sights, swimming, culture and a natural beauty. He’s an interesting and worldly man. Knows of all to see in the area amd there are horses to ride right down the road. He undersells this booking as to not disappoint. I’d say you would be hard pressed to find a flaw in this property.

Great for a farm & sunset. Not all buildings had AC (a must). No TV & split building was easy to hear neighbor talking at normal volume. Dominic & staff were great. Common area was great. Food was good. Atmosphere was good, but descriptions like "farm tour available" were a stretch. Asked about it & seemed like it they weren't sure what we were talking about. If you want great sunset, "eco-friendly" & really interactive/knowledgeable host in a unique rural setting, probably the best place to stay in the country
