Beautiful place to stay! Staff attentive and very nice. My one complaint would be that they were out of some food choices that we wanted, but I am assuming is that was due to the time of year, they were are not fully stocked, which is understandable.

Our stay at Sleeping Giant was perfect! The grounds and location are beautiful. The staff are lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. We enjoyed 2 different excursions provided by their concierge service. Josh was wonderful. We biked and swam in the crystal clear river. The restaurants were top notch and accommodated our vegan/celiac-free friend. We got to hear the Howler monkeys right outside our mountain view room!

Absolutely loved this property! It's gorgeous and the staff is amazing! The rooms are spacious and honeymoon vibe. We went during the dry season which is the hottest so be prepared for the humidity and lots of stairs. If you are a light sleeper I recommend you being earplugs because the wild life dont care if youre sleep deprived. Food and drinks were so good and we definitely will be back!

This was such a special part of our Belize holiday. The staff was amazing, the rooms were absolutely gorgeous, and you can see that everyone working there takes great pride in excellent hospitality. It was simply a beautiful, relaxing, and utterly tranquil place to be with loads to do both on the property and excursions available. Wish we’d stayed longer than three nights!

This is a very special place to stay. If you're ready to unwind and experience being in the jungle surrounded by a lot of peace and nature, but also having lovely amenities, excursions, and wonderful service from the team running the resort, this is the place to visit. We were there for three nights and I am already thinking about when I might be able to come back and enjoy it for longer!

The grounds around the resort were beautiful and very well taken care of. It was relaxing to just hang out at the pool or walk around the grounds.

We had an incredible stay at Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell the team takes immense pride in it, as the grounds were constantly being meticulously maintained.The staff truly made our trip unforgettable. Every single employee was incredibly friendly and consistently went out of their way to be helpful. They made our logistics effortless, taking care of everything from seamless transportation arrangements to setting up our daily excursions.After a long day out in the Belizean heat and humidity, coming back to our room was a dream. The accommodations were spotlessly clean and wonderfully cool, providing the perfect, refreshing environment to rest and recharge.When it came to dining, the on-site restaurant was very good. We absolutely loved the breakfasts and dinners every day. The only minor critique is that the pizza was just average, but that wasn't an issue at all because their sister resort, The Belize Collection's The Banks, had outstanding food that we highly recommend trying.Overall, an amazing experience with top-tier service. We would absolutely stay here again!

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’!
