Ek Tun was a highlight of our month-long holiday. As soon as we arrived the adventure began with the very welcoming Phylis meeting us to help us across the river into her piece of paradise. The accommodation was simply stunning, beautifully decorated cottages with spacious rooms and huge gardens to roam freely. And the welcome from the host was more... More

Staid 2 nights at Ek Tun and it was lovely: Leave all your sorrows, worries and expectations to civilization back and take the risk to be in nature - real and un-spoiled nature. I never saw such a beautiful natural resort with a landscape that's breath-taking. I already saw a lot of "jungle-resorts" in Belize; Ek Tun ist the only... More

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed Ek Tun. The landscape is fantastic! Very remote, yes, it's not exactly easy to get there, but it is a little corner of paradise with a wonderful host. If you are the outdoorsy type and looking for a romantic getaway, this is definitey for you. You don't run into other people anywhere around, but... More

I have had the privilege of traveling to many parts of the world, and staying in some of the world’s best hotels, but I have never seen a place as beautiful or magical as Ektun. The owner, Phyllis, has created a paradise on earth that I thought only existed in my imagination. First, the grounds of the property are stunningly... More

Ek Tun is a remote lodge (not resort by any means) at the end of 6 miles of rough dirt/rock road and across a river. It is an absolute piece of paradise once you are there. Phyllis is a wonderful character, knowledgeable of the area having lived there for many years, an extremely good and creative cook and very caring... More

In July of 2008 my husband and I booked a trip to Ek Tun for our 1 year anniversary in November 2008. We were so excited by the rugged beauty of Ek Tun and the surrounding tourist attractions and we couldn’t wait to get there. One week prior to our arrival in Belize, Phyllis contacted us with some upsetting news.... More

I’d like to say that my wife and I had a wonderful time at EkTun on our 25th anniversary trip to Belize but we where never picked up by Phyllis the owner on the designated date and time, 12 noon in the town of SanIgnacio in front of Eva’s restaurant. By the way, the bar across from Eva’s, Fire Water... More

The lodge is located in a beautifull and select enviroment into the jungle with a beautifull natural blue pool with runing water straight from the rocks and mountain. It has two lodges with two rooms each far apart one from the other for privacy ,surrounded by nature, streams of water, noises of frogs all sorts of insects and a wonderfull... More

My partner and I stayed at Ek’ Tun for four nights in late March/April. I loved my stay and would highly recommend it for travelers looking for a low-key, off-the-beaten-track experience—and a romantic one at that. As some reviewers have already stated, Ek’ Tun is not for everyone. It doesn’t have the amenities that large “jungle lodges” in the district... More
