Holiday houses in Riversdale

Staying with Tricia felt like staying with “auntie”! She’s a gourmet cook using fresh organic vegetables. She gave vegetarian choices. She took me to a gift shop after I mentioned I wanted to buy art. We shared ice cream at a local shop (amazing casava, coconut and real rum in the rum raisin). Her friends and family were hospitable, friendly, and as a solo Woman I felt absolutely safe. So much I didn’t even lock my room! Tricia was hospitable without crossing boundaries. She’s a very trustworthy and respectful person as are the rest of the crew! Put ups to Gaston for encouraging me to swim in the Caribbean Sea - fire take in front of the property! I cannot say enough about their level of professionalism and etiquette. Moving forward, I will always stay with Tricia when I’m Belize.

The spot was extremely cute and clean inside and outside. It's about a 20-25 minute walk from the main part of Hopkins Village. With a bike, which was provided (there were several), you can get there pretty easily during the day time. Other nice amenities included a 5 gallon jug of bottled water, an on-site washing machine, and some clothes lines. Wendy also proactively reached out before and during my stay to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. All and all, it was great stay and would book again.

Words really can’t express how beautiful Tamzin’s place was! The pictures really did show just how amazing the space is. There is nothing else we could have wanted this place to be stocked with. Tamzin went above any beyond making sure we felt welcomed upon arrival. Don’t hesitate booking this place.

The White Orchid Villa is a lovely house in a beautiful setting on the banks of the Sittee River. It's surrounded by large trees that were filled abundant bird life that was a treat to listen to while sitting in the hammock in the screened in porch. Due to its location on the river there are lots of mosquitoes so bug spray is a must, which also made the screened in porch that much nicer. There is a canoe available to go explore the river and the lovely Town of Hopkins is a short drive away. The kitchen is fully stocked with lots of spices and everything you would need to prepare meals. The on-site caretakers Christina and Domingo were friendly and welcoming. Rupa, the owner was very helpful with suggestions and local contacts for tour guides. She also quickly responded to any questions we had. To top it off, there were friendly dogs with two adorable puppies that totally charmed my daughters. We would definitely come back!

If you like going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean, this is the place to stay at. The cabins are right along the edge of the beach and are walking distance to local businesses and delicious food. A bike is sufficient for getting around to businesses that are little further away and tour companies are close enough for pickups to further places. We happened to be there during a heat wave and were very happy that the bedroom had AC which helped us stay comfy at night. During the day the breeze from the ocean is cooling, so leaving the windows and door open brings in a nice breeze. There are chairs and hammocks on the porch and on the beach. Overall I recommend staying here for a relaxed beach vacation.

We love the property and keep coming back; this was our 5th or 6th straight year. We like the fact that it is pretty far north because we like to explore the beautiful country of Belize. We are still close to the great restaurants in Maya beach and can access the village relatively easily. It is clear that Greta loves the property too and does her best to take care of it and improve upon it. The progress on the fountain is great and we look forward to see it functioning in its full glory. We appreciate the effort she makes! Whenever an issue arises, we appreciate the fact that we can work together with Greta to quickly resolve it. It was also a bonus to have Phillip working on the grounds and trying to improve our esperience while we were there this year. The only downsides with our visit this year was about a week of squalling cats during the night and owls that were extremely loud during the wee hours. We are looking forward to coming again next year or perhaps even later this year.

Had a fantastic 5-night stay at the Toucan Guest House. Comfortable, well-appointed house in an ideal location. It is close to both Cockscomb and Bocawina—two of our favorite jungle reserves—so we had no problem getting to both during prime early morning birding hours. It was even close to Hopkins for restaurants, groceries, and the beach. Hosts were fantastic. We highly recommend.

What an incredible experience! If you are looking for sand, sea, sun, and pure peacefulness, this is the place! It felt very private. The beach was right by the house and the breeze was unbeatable. Breathtaking view. Sandra was quick to communicate and very accommodating to our family. They went above and beyond to help us feel at home and be comfortable. They had beach chairs, beach toys, games, and more. We absolutely loved the screened porch. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the sand and waves. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!
