A Touch of Paradise in Belize
Everything about Mystic River Resort was fantastic! We traveled with 7 couples and the staff made our stay perfect and memorable. The accommodations were luxurious, the restaurant was excellent,the tours were great,and it was a perfect getaway in the Belizean jungle. What really made everything perfect at Mystic River was the gracious, kind, and helpful staff. They were amazing! We would highly recommend a stay at Mystic River.

Mystic River has a lovely set of villas by the river in the Belize rainforest. We had two 1-bedrooms and one honeymoon suite. The good things about this property: beautiful grounds, amazingly helpful and friendly staff all the way from the front desk staff to the restaurant staff to the drivers/tour guides. They take a lot of care with the room set-up; fresh flower decorations on the beds and bathroom were really pretty. The food at the restaurant was good though not amazing. The resort is a good jumping off point for a number of excursions in the local Belize area and we also visited Tikal in Guatemala. All our excursions went smoothly and were enjoyable. There are some areas that the resort could improve though. The furnishings in the room feel old; in particular, the mattresses and pillows are not very comfortable. I think with some updating, it could really be great again. Some of the resorts had light bulbs that were a very harsh white light; others had a softer spectrum light that would have been appreciated throughout. In general, more lamps would be helpful, especially in the one-bedroom villas. We were traveling at the end of the rainy season and there were some days where it rained lightly; in some parts the flagstones were a bit slippery for my elderly parents and if I were traveling again with them, I'd probably need to chose a different place for their comfort. On the other hand, my husband, kids, and I were not bothered by that.
