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.

Our stay at the resort was a delightful escape into nature. Nestled by the tranquil Mopan River, we enjoyed the rustic charm and warm hospitality provided by the owner and staff. The food was outstanding, truly a highlight, but if you're looking for luxury accommodations, you might want to adjust your expectations as the cabins are quite basic. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that offered fantastic value for the money.

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.
