Gaia was as beautiful as all I read about! From the moment we arrived at Belize International Airport, we were greeted right away from a staff member of Gaia informing us of where our shuttle would be. Before you know it, we were in the mountains greeted at the front desk by Colby and Tony in the restaurant who was at our beck and call with every need we had. we had lovely dinners breakfast on the beautiful deck overlooking the waterfall, took the bikes out one day and found big rock waterfall, which was an amazing day. Bring your water shoes Had amazing dinners each night under the beautiful stars. What a perfect relaxing vacation.!!

The riverside Villa was amazing. One of the most beautiful places I have ever stay. We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was great!! The service was exceptional, the food and the tours were over our expectations. I hope to visit the Gaia hotel in the future. The staff did a great job. You are doing a great job with this hotel! Thank you for these beautiful days in the forest!

Gaia was a wonderful place to enjoy the jungle side of Belize. The staff was very responsive and assisted me with transfer from Belize City and back. There was an extra charge for this service. Check in was a breeze and the rooms are very comfortable. Hector at the front desk made arrangements for tours and spa and transportation, Freddy and Demor and Darren were perfect servers and went above and beyond! The resort is lucky to have them. The space down by the waterfall for sunning, dining and spa is so peaceful! Coco, the resort dog, accompanied me on a walk to Big Rock Falls too! It was a lovely stay. I cannot wait to come back some time.

I paid more for a room next to the waterfall. The windows had no glasses, just screens. Therefore, the room was wet and cold. We had to use the hair dryer to dry everything at all times. The hot water was not coming out. They could not fix it. The concierge was a disaster. Organized poor excursions, and when we traded, he charged the same amount. Except for a couple of days everything else was not worth it. Tthey said they would refund two nights. They did not refund the complete two nights. The food was also bad

Gaia is a very beautiful place. The property is so serene and was very grounding. The nature and wildlife is amazing and they do an excellent job to keep guests comfortable even though you are nearly in the rainforest. The staff and service were top notch and staff made sure we were comfortable and felt special. Definitely reccomend

We have nothing but good things to say about Gaia. This place was incredible! My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there and the staff did everything possible to make sure it went great. Every single person there went above and beyond. Incredibly genuine. I can't recommend this place enough! Special shout out to Freddie (I hope I spelled his name right). Super attentive. Made sure we had an awesome dinner every night.
