We are saddened that “Jim” did not enjoy all aspects of his stay at the Mopan River Resort. Unfortunately, no comments were made to the owners during the couple’s stay at the resort; otherwise, all efforts would have been made to meet the guest’s expectations for their honeymoon.

Mopan River Resort is a true All-Inclusive Resort. Included in the vacation package are all transfers to and from Belize City, luxury cabana or suite accommodations, meals, local drinks, taxes, service charges, tour transportation, and a Guide for all tour sites in Belize. No tipping is allowed on the resort. We do offer the availability of extra services not included in the package price such as massages, laundry service, selections from our wine list, private dining, etc. The Resort has special all-inclusive packages available for weddings and anniversaries, and we are always happy to customize a package to include any additional services to suit anyone’s needs. We offer three bedding arrangements; standard size twin, standard size queen and a custom size king.

Site entrance/Border fees for a 7-night stay are a total of US$112.50 cash per person. The Resort recommends that each guest brings US$150.00 to allow for some extra spending money. All our Belizean tour site entrance fees are between US$5 and US$10 per person, except the Che Chem Hah tour which is US$20 per person. The Tikal tour to Guatemala costs US$60 per person which includes the Belize border tourist departure fee, Guatemala border entrance fee, Tikal site entrance fee, and if you choose to use one, a Guide fee (we are not permitted to guide in Guatemala). All information is outlined on the Resort’s website, and in the four-page “Mopan River Resort’s Know-Before-You-Go-Guide” sent out to guests booking directly with the Resort. Included are details such as, Belize entry requirements, health, drinking water, currency, weather, what to expect during your stay, and helpful guidelines on what to pack.

Private candle lit dining on the veranda of the luxury cabana or suite is available as an extra service, and is included in our Wedding and Vow-Renewal All-Inclusive packages. Stated clearly in our literature and on the Resort’s website, all guests tour and dine together in a social setting. The evening dinner bell at 7:00 pm summons the guests to the dining area after the guests have enjoyed an hour of appetizers along with cocktails in our lounge. Dinner is a three course meal served buffet style. Portions are controlled by the guests who serve themselves. Breakfast is served in unlimited quantities and features a full menu, not just a Continental breakfast. Included are several varieties of egg dishes, toast, bacon, pancakes, etc., along with fresh fruit and fresh fruit juice(s). Lunches are two-course meals which are also served in unlimited quantity. Full-day tours include a pack lunch for each guest featuring a full selection of sandwiches, chips, cookies, and muffins. All tours are also provided with a selection of water, sodas and beer for guest enjoyment.

The tour itinerary is scheduled to provide the maximum guest enjoyment of the various tour sites, and to accommodate everyone’s preferences. The tour itinerary is set to accommodate guests staying for several days in order to avoid repetition, and to avoid large crowds and other events which may affect guest enjoyment. The tours provided by the Resort are clearly outlined on the website. The Resort’s guests enjoy hearing at dinner what tour is scheduled for the next day, and guests are informed of tours planned for the duration of their stay upon inquiry. Consultation regarding the tour schedule is conducted prior to arrival and especially with guests where health or physical disability issues will affect their enjoyment of the tours. There is always the option of not going on the tour planned for the day and instead relaxing in or around the Resort enjoying a hammock in one of the palapas, our beautiful swimming pool or wandering the resort grounds enjoying the gardens, paths or bird watch from anywhere on the grounds including the bird tower.

Mopan River Resort is a small resort that provides an intimate social setting. Guests do get quite comfortable getting to know one another and often long term friendships have been forged here. There are many places and opportunities to have special quiet time together with your loved one such as your private veranda on your luxury cabana or luxury suite, the bird tower, the gardens, the chapel, etc. Mopan River Resort is chosen as often by honeymooners as it is by guests wishing to see the sights and flora, fauna and birds of Belize. The resort provides a very romantic setting for weddings, honeymooners and even those proposing marriage.

With a maximum guest load of 24, the owners and staff enjoy the ability to get to know each guest and to provide individual attention and service. Mopan River Resort prides itself on striving to ensure each guest has the best holiday experience possible.
