This is perhaps or ninth stay at this property. We had not been to Belize since 2022, and I can say that the quality of service and the property is even better than before - and before it was fantastic. Dory assisted with our room selection and checked on us our entire trip. She was accommodating and patient with us! Since 2022, there is a whole new resort on the property - the Banks - which comes with a new restaurant - Humo. While we preferred the food at the Grove and Don Totino's, the atmosphere at Humo is insanely beautiful. Indeed, the entire property is lovely with a great hike to a gazebo which gives you a lovely view of the mountains and the "Sleeping Giant." There are other hikes on property and I understand they will be offering yoga in the future. If you do not have a car, there are great trips that you can take, including a Ceremonial Cave (which I have done in the past and it was quite cool) tour, expeditions to Mayan ruins, cave tubing or kayaking, and cooking classes. There are different room types so check into what you most prefer. We have to been to most and like all but one that is too near the road and road noise by reception. It is a slice of paradise in the middle of the jungle that I cannot recommend enough!

The grounds of this resort are absolutely incredible, a tropical paradise if ever there was one. The room was huge and lovely. The restaurant is OK, quite overpriced, and the food options are really minimal outside of that restaurant (even if you have a car: closest restaurants are in Belmopan, half hour away). But everything about this place, minus the food selection, is an absolute dream. Loved the jungle walks, the riverside views, the free bikes, the groves and trails … and the gardens of the hotel. Would come back.

The Sleeping Giant is a real gem and in itself a reason to head to Belize and spend a week at this beautiful resort south of Belmopan. The grounds and the interior design of the cottages and the house we rented are the best I’ve enjoyed in many years of travel and the staff is A plus. The restaurant with its open air and indoor dining is really good and there is not an amenity that is overlooked in this perfect place! Thanks to all at the ‘Sleeping Giant’!

We have visited Sleeping Giant a number of times. Every visit has been exceptional! The staff are all very helpful, courteous, welcoming and professional. The property continues to evolve, with many on site opportunities, as eell as off site tours. The rooms are spotless and well appointed, and the food is lovely. We highly recommend the property!

My boyfriend and I spent a couple nights at this property and from arrival to check out the staff and the service they provided was beyond excellent. We got a room upgrade as our room was located near the main road of the property, something they noticed and offered to us because their attention to detail is immaculate. We were staying for a couple nights and celebrating our anniversary and they did not disappoint. We got the pleasure of experiencing the Mountain View suites, and if you are up for a small hike it’s definitely a must-have experience. Sleeping Giant Rainforest Hotel exceeded my own expectations. If you are looking for a place to stay within the jungle of Belize this is the place to go.

This resort was absolute breathtaking and peaceful. This was our first stay (wife and I) and it was very relaxing. The resort offers a variety of nature experiences but we spent time admiring the beautiful scenery, pool and jacuzzi around the resort. Our room was a king with a river view. Great A/C and Our clean room and bathroom was spacious with an outside bathtub and shower. Also we spent time on our a spacious balcony. We enjoyed our dining experience; as well as the room service for our delicious meals. There was no television because it’s about getting back to nature which was much needed. All the staff we encountered were professional and kind; eager to assist you. Definitely will visit again! Thank you!!!!

Clean comfortable room, AC worked perfectly. Wifi worked all around the main areas (room, restaurant, pool, and closer grounds). Pool is open 24 hours and we were often the only ones there. Restaurant was delicious, breakfast was our favorite. Wood fired pizzas were good and ready quickly. The menu is not expansive although there is a daily special each night. We spent less than $75 per person per day on 3 meals. Onsite parking was plentiful, drive from airport to resort is easy and 100% paved. Staff was very friendly and often engaged in conversation depending on our days events. Did the onsite bird watching tour ($35US pp, min 2, super cheap) which we were told was 90 minutes but went 2 hours and even got a van ride back for breakfast. Bikes available to use on property, the trail is more work going away from the lodging than coming back which works nice when tired. Highly recommend this property. The only minor negative is vehicle noise from the main road and even that is not a constant thing.

This property is nestled inside its own private jungle. It's a very large, well kept property, with the rooms/cottages spread around so you have a good deal of privacy. There are only 20 rooms so it's not very busy and you often find yourself alone enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. They offer complimentary espresso machines, yoga mats, bicycles, paddle boards, and Kayaks. The pool is 24/7 and there are plenty of hikes nearby. They also offer tons of activities that you pay for separately. The restaurant having incredible food was a major plus including a giant woodfire pizza oven (didn't come to Belize for Pizza but not going to say I didn't enjoy it). I recommend picking up some fruit and hiking snacks on the way because they don't have any stores nearby. Each room has it's own filtered water machine.
