One
of the finest properties in Belize and a pioneer in ecotourism development,
the Lodge at Chaa Creek sits amidst 365 acres of lush rainforest on
the outskirts of San Ignacio, overlooking the Macal River. Accommodations
are provided in 23 comfortable palm-thatched cottage rooms, including
two garden suites, or combined to make a complete garden suite with
Jacuzzi, two Treetop Jacuzzi Suites, an Orchard Villa and a Macal
Suite with Jacuzzi, all nestled along the riverside in a setting of
unmatched beauty and tranquility. Each of the spacious cottages are
decorated with Mexican tiled floors, large mahogany beds, private
bathrooms with hot water, and ceiling fans.
The resort also offers manicured gardens,
a magnificent thatched-roof restaurant featuring Mexican, Belizean,
and American cuisine, and a bar, observation deck, and conference
center.
Guests at Chaa Creek can relax and rejuvenate
with the services of a high quality spa after an active day on the
reserve. The Spa at Chaa Creek is set above the Macal River Valley
with a panoramic view of the Maya Mountains and Caribbean rainforest.
Along with the professional staff and state-of-the-art equipment
and facilities, the Spa provides a tranquil and extraordinary sensory
experience that promotes harmony between the inner and outer self.
Guests can get a fascinating overview of Belize's
archaeological, cultural and natural wonders at Chaa Creek's Natural
History Center. The Blue Morpho Butterfly Farm at Chaa Creek allows
visitors the opportunity to observe the full life cycle of this
iridescent tropical queen of the butterfly world. Chaa Creek Guests
can interact with nature by exploring the river and miles of well-maintained
trails, Mayan temple sites, and through activities such as hiking,
canoeing, horseback riding, mountain biking and bird watching. Wildlife
abounds, and some 250 species of birds have been sighted within
the reserve. Chaa Creek Cottages & Spa is one of EcoAdventures'
favorite Must-Stay properties, and no trip to Belize is complete
without it. |
