The rooms were not very clean or comfortable They didn't clean our room once out of the 3 nights stay. I was worried to request it incase there was a charge. Mike wanted to charge us 80 us dollars to borrow tubes to go down the river, he said we'd need a guide, where the hotel next store gave their... More

Here are some points about this review that definitely need to be clarified. First, the cabanas are supposed to be cleaned every day. As a business, we have learned a lot from other hotels that are environmentally conscious and have elected not to automatically wash every towel and sheet every night - unless requested. We ask that visitors throw the... More

We (myself, my boyfriend, and his mother) spent 5 nights at the end of Feb 2012 at Cohune Palms and had such a great time there. I was a little worried after reading reviews about "shady management" but my fears were totally unfounded. Mike and everyone else is what made our stay there so great. I can't say enough about...

We only stayed the one night, initially we thought we were quoted the price in Quetzals and thought it was a tad high. Shocked later to learn it was US$ More

When I travel, I look for places that are unique to the environment, locally owned/operated, in a beautiful rural setting, and not too expensive. Cohune Palms met all these requirements and exceeded my expectations. I should have posted a while ago, but feel a responsibility now in response to some of the recent posts. I honestly feel, with all respect,... More

I did not like this hotel at all. I went there because I thought it would be peaceful since it was supposed to be in the jungle. Instead all I heard were the sounds of construction, dogs barking, and other people's loud music. Not peaceful at all. The owner of the hotel hooked me up with a tour guide that... More

My family traveled to Belize for a week. First we drove from Belize airport for our adventures in the jungle. While the drive on the western highway was not at all beautiful we were happy to arrive to a very well landscaped and clean lodge. Don't let Bullet Tree Falls scare you away, hidden away along the Mopan River under... More

Ok, first of all I have to completely agree with Esperanza's review. I didn't want to write a review because we loved Melanie so much but after reading Bevin's response to Esperanza's, I feel like I have to make a comment. Everything Esperanza said about Mike is true, he did the same thing to my husband and I. We were... More

Greetings - thanks for your comments. I just wanted to respond quickly - I will briefly respond directly to the "appalling" part of the earlier management response - only to say that I actually explained why cash is preferred and certainly didn't deny that most business owners in Belize prefer it and many add the extra percentage onto their bill...

We stayed in the off season last fall (september) We didnt have reservations and showed up kind of late on evening and Melanie was more than accomodating (even offered to cook us some dinner after she had already cleaned up, I settled for an easy bowl of fruit :) ) The rooms are CABANAS! Not swanky hotel rooms, very basic... More

Cohune Palms is a very nice hotel, that much is true. I hate to write anything negative about our stay there because the rooms were splendid and the food was delicious. Just have your ducks in a row regarding your plans and your rates if you decide to stay here. We were offered a discount upon arrival when we asked... More

Rough road to get to it but worth it once you arrive. Guenuine and caring staff do their best to keep you happy but the room could have been much cleaner for the price. Still you can't beat a sun deck with a rope swing into a turquoise river. More
