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!
Outstanding resort and grounds. Entire staff was friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed the service and fresh food at the Grove restaurant. Hiking, biking and kayaking activities made our stay a wonderful experience. At night they had candles lights around the grounds. Very beautiful property!
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 rainforest lodge and all of the staff who work there goes above and beyond to ensure your stay in the enchanted place is perfect in every way possible.
The grounds are like a magical paradise and the staff were all amazing. Such a beautiful lodge.

The entire staff were amazing! Every person we met greeted us and asked if we needed anything. The room was very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable.
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.
Everything was simply amazing about this place! The customer service, the beautiful grounds, the gorgeous room - EVERYTHING was perfect. Don't hesitate to stay here. We had a River View room and it was perfect - high ceilings, big bathroom, and huge patio with four comfy chairs and a hammock. We'd hang outside to listen to the wildlife. We spent time exploring the property, which was fun. We also did a morning sunrise breakfast on the cliff top and that was a wonderful experience. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so special.
We loved staying at sleeping giant! The staff is very friendly and the resort is beautiful.

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’!
