Delicious Home-Cooked Meals

The food at Clarissa Falls was absolutely fantastic! Every meal was cooked to order and full of local flavors. I especially loved the fresh fry jacks and jam at breakfast. My daughter ordered a fruit bowl that was so large she couldn't finish it, and everything tasted homemade and fresh. Chena was more than willing to accommodate special requests and made sure we enjoyed authentic Belizian dishes. Dining here added a lovely touch to our experience.

Charming Rustic Cabins

The accommodations at Clarissa Falls were rustic yet comfortable. We stayed in a thatched roof cabana that was clean and cozy. Though there was no air conditioning, we found the fans were sufficient to keep us cool at night. The ambiance felt like being in a nature retreat, which was exactly what we wanted. The individual huts added to the charm of our stay.

Refreshing Outdoor Showers

I thoroughly enjoyed the shower experience here! Each hut had its own bathroom with a shower, and although it was basic, it was always clean. The shower setup felt very natural, being close to the jungle environment. Plus, the hot water availability made it refreshing after a day of activities. It was a simple pleasure that connected me with nature.

Active Adventures Await

We had a blast tubing down the river! It was such a fun and relaxing way to spend an afternoon, surrounded by nature. The hotel provided tubes, and we floated along, soaking in the beauty of the river. The experience was complemented by seeing various wildlife, including playful dogs swimming alongside us. If you're looking for an active way to enjoy the outdoors, this is the perfect spot!

Staying at Clarissa Falls Resort was truly a memorable experience. It offers a rustic charm with clean and comfortable huts that provide a great base for exploring nearby attractions like the Xunantunich ruins. The food was fantastic, served family-style, but the lack of consistent hot water was a minor inconvenience. The location, right on the Mopan River, provides a serene ambiance perfect for relaxation. Overall, it’s a wonderful place, especially for families looking for a unique getaway, though it may not be ideal for those seeking luxury.

My stay at Clarissa Falls was nothing short of magical. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and Chena made us feel like part of her family from the moment we arrived. The location right on the river offered stunning views and a chance to truly immerse ourselves in the Belizean lifestyle. While the rustic charm of the cabana was perfect for the experience, it might not suit everyone, especially those looking for luxury. Overall, the hospitality and local experiences far outweighed any minor inconveniences.
