クリスタル パラダイス リゾートの口コミ・レビュー・評判

Great and beautiful grounds. Our bed was comfortable and lots of hot water. They have a bottled water to refill your bottle. The staff was nice. My daughter got heat stoke the frost day we are they which kid of spoiled the time but we did go to the river to cool off. This place is far from town and a taxi costs 25.00 each way so don’t forget anything.

After snorkeling at Turneffe Flats, I booked a 6 day birding experience at Crystal Paradise. My bird guide, Abi Moralez met me at the marina and we immediately started birding on the way to the resort, stopping roadside at a place with excellent food for lunch. Upon arrival at the resort, I was impressed by the beauty and maintenance of the grounds. The cabana where I stayed was clean, air conditioned and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the meals were first rate. The local food was perfectly prepared and extremely flavorful. If the chef offered a cook book, I would purchase it in a heartbeat for the recipes. The highlight though was the birding. Abi was so good at identifying birds by their calls, and then spotting them almost immediately, telling me where to look. We traveled through many different habitats, took a canoe trip down the Macal River, saw the Frio Cave and the Maya ruins at Caracol where we hiked through the jungle spotting birds as well as a family of Howler monkeys. Abi was a pleasure to be with, friendly with a great sense of humor, and an extraordinary bird guide. If you take this birding trip, ask for him to be your guide. It is a family run business, and you were treated as part of that family.

Crystal Paradise is an amazing place to stay in tropical rainforests. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we booked a third. The eco system is a vibrant tropical rainforest, the staff are generous and responsive, the rooms clean and very comfortable. We love local whole food and ordered 2 breakfast and 1 dinner and it was all local, Belizian and delicious. The location is excellent- both rural and quiet but only 20 minutes into San Ignacio. Staying at Crystal Paradise also connected us to 2 of the best guides we’ve ever experienced (Jam Jam Tours for ATM Tour and Eric for morning birding). This is a unique, beautiful,welcoming lodge that is reasonable priced for all it provides. We had 5 adults and 2 children and we all delighted in the wildlife, orchids, geckos we noticed relaxing in hammocks or in a walk down to Macal River. This is an amazing, well run family run lodge you will be grateful to visit.

Beautiful facility on a very private family owned site outside of town. The family is so kind and an accommodating to our individual needs. The food is extraordinary and unique to local flavor. Lots of birds and a nice hike down to the river for a refreshing swim is the icing on the cake.

What a great find. The whole experience at Crystal Paradise was great. The location and atmosphere was so amazing and quaint. It was so refreshing being away from the hustle and bustle that we often see at other resorts. The grounds were amazing. The cabana were clean and pleasant. The food was very nice and the atmosphere of having all the guests eating around the same time was very engaging. It was wonderful to mingle with the other guests. Such a great group. Edna was a great host. She arranged two day trips that were amazing. The ATM cave with Ian as the guide was so amazing. What a special place. The experience of spelunking in the cave was so cool. It is one of our favorite experiences. The trip to Caracol with Ronell as our guide was also great. What a great place. We hope to come back with our family next year.

Not far from the twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena, the Tut family have created an oasis for birds and travelers at Crystal Paradise Resort. It was our home base for a 6 day birding package of Central Belize with Birding in Belize with Paradise Expeditions. Our bungalow was clean, comfortable and air conditioned and looked exactly as pictured. The Tut family were gracious hosts. The friendly, outgoing patriarch of the family has coffee ready before the sun comes up and gladly shares his love for birds. Meticulously kept grounds makes birding on the property easy. Even those who just sit and watch the birds at the feeders will see many different species. We enjoyed the excellent Belizean food and service the lodge provided. The Tut family women run the kitchen and lodge operations and are assisted by staff who are like family. Homemade tortillas and dishes featuring locally grown produce were special treats. Each evening at dinner they reviewed our schedule for the next day and provided tips on what to bring. The Tut family women were also very helpful pointing out birds or where to find them on the property. Our guide for our birding excursions, Abimael Moralez, was excellent. He helped us find many of the birds we were most interested in seeing as well as many other species. In addition to the itinerary, he knew great off the beaten path spots to see birds and wildlife. We were able to see about 120 different species of birds as well as howler monkeys, spider monkeys and tayras. He was very thoughtful and made sure we were doing ok in the high heat and humidity. He kept track of all sighting on ebird and shared with us so we had a complete record. Besides sharing his great birding knowledge he was also very knowledgeable about Mayan history. We enjoyed our time with him very much and would love to go birding with him again in the future. If you want an authentic Belizean experience choose Crystal Paradise Resort and Birding in Belize with Paradise Expeditions.

This was our first trip to Belize. We stayed at the Crystal Paradise Resort in San Ignacio for 4 days. The family friendly run resort is very welcoming and the staff is amazing. Our room had both AC and a ceiling fan that we were grateful to have due to the Belize humidity. The accommodations in the room were simple, yet very clean and comfortable. We had hot water throughout the day. The setting of the resort is very tropical, and yet we were only a few miles from the center of town. Each day we were served a delicious home cooked full breakfast and dinner by the talented Carmelita. We loved the honor bar system where we had self-service and prepared our own drinks then, paying the bar bill at checkout time. The resort has a calm and quiet atmosphere. The outdoor dining area was a great place to view birds that fed at the numerous feeders along the deck railing. We traveled with the wonderful tour company, Belize Nature Travel.

The resort was comfortable and clean. The staff was very accommodating and the food was very good. The place was centrally located to all the attractions in the area. We took the tour to Tikal, which was excellent. The staff walked us through customs and immigration into Guatemala, which was very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay. Bird watching during breakfast on an open air patio was amazing. The staff at this Belizian family owned resort could not have been nicer. They were very accommodating including cooking special meals for our picky eater. The staff made arrangements for a guide and a variety of adventure activities at our request and readily made changes as we revised our plans. Cottages were charming and cleaned daily.

We had arranged 3 nights at Crystal Paradise Resort in San Ignacio as part of our 14 day trip to Belize. We were picked up from Belize International airport promptly and on time in a private transfer vehicle by Elvis. Elvis was very nice and professional and very knowledgable about the local area and he also does birdwatching tours for the resort. The resort is Belizean family run and managed by the Tuts. We arrived and were checked in by Alba. Our cabana was very nice and comfortable. All meals were prepared by Carolita and eaten in the outdoor dining area or on the tours as packed lunches. The food was simple but delicious using produce from the local farmers markets. There is also a bar run by an honor system, where you can sip your drink and watch the toucans eating fruit on the feeder. We had 2 trips planned all organised by the resort. The first was to Tikal, in Guatemala. We were driven to the border by Jeronie, one of the brothers. Again very knowledgable. He got us through the border in minutes where we were met by our Guatemalan guide. We also did the Barton Creek tour in canoes with Eric, which was amazing. The wealth of local knowledge within this family is incredible. We were driven to the airport on the last day by Luz another family member who is also a tour guide. Super nice family. Can highly recommend this resort and would love to go back and spend more time doing tours.

The resort is perfectly situated for excellent birding experiences, and the guide we had, Abi Morales, was one of the most expert we've ever known. The accommodations were just what we needed after a long day of birding - good beds, good shower, great meals, and friendly competent staff.

A friend and I spent three nights at Crystal Paradise on a dream trip to Belize, and it was truly the best decision we could have made for our inland accommodations! We stayed in a cabana with a loft, and this was the perfect arrangement as one of us had the downstairs, and one of us was upstairs. It was spacious, clean, and the new AC worked great to keep us cool! The grounds themselves are also immaculate and lovely. There are plenty of places to relax in hammocks and chairs, and we loved watching birds at the feeder stations. We had worried a bit about bugs, but they were absolutely not an issue, at least not this time of year, and I think part of that is a credit to how spotless the grounds are kept. Where the resort really stands out is their excursions. We had three day trips with the resort, one to the cave tubing, one to Caracol, and one to the Belize Zoo on our way back to Belize City. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! They were happy to make adjustments, such as taking us to the local market one morning for a bit of shopping, so don't be afraid to ask. They will do all they can to make your time special and perfect for you. You can't go wrong with a stay at Crystal Paradise!

This was the best place we stayed on our first trip to belize. We loved the following *the grounds Are beautiful and I loved eating in their little outdoor palapa with the swings watching the birds. *the restaurant on site was great and I thought a great deal for the quality and amount of food *the tuts (who are belizean) were just the best proprietors from start to finish. They did our laundry, helped arrange lunch for off site visits, helped arrange a tour guide when my husband wanted to drive to caracol but still have a guide (the guide rode in the back) for the site. At a discount since we drove. They came up each night to ask us our plans first the next day and how they can help but were never pushy (I mentioned this as another reviewer said they were) just accommodating when we needed it. Also I enjoyed talking to Victor though we only got to meet him shortly before we left. *cristo Rey is a little out of the way but not super far - about 15 mins out of San ignacio *free water refills always available Things to note: bar honor system - note your items then pay the tab before you leave We were very sad to leave here after our three night stay. Next time, will have to try the birding! Thank you tut family!

This was my 3rd trip to Crystal Paradise, the first with my grandchildren. We were a group of nine from 8 to 70. We were met at the airport and taken to the resort. The minute you drive into the resort you enter another world. Beauty and hospitality! You feel like the Tut family are welcoming you to their home. Alba managed to put together an experience that all ages could enjoy. Luz and Everil are tour guides extraordinaire! Luz is knowledgeable and fun. As the 70 year old in the group I benefited greatly from Everil's steady presence and strong arm! Carolita and her kitchen crew produced magic, no picky eaters at her table. Mr Tut made sure the coffee was going and provided jungle remedies when there was an owie. His laugh will start your day off right. The whole family goes out of their way to make your visit special. I have been back less than 2 weeks and am working with Alba on my next trip! La Adventura Continua!!!
