Belize Hotels Resorts accommodations jungle lodge Belize

Hidden Valley Inn is one of the few small luxury hotels in Belize situated within a private nature reserve. The accommodations are comprised of only 12 cottages which surround a central lodge housing a bar, restaurant and several lounges. It is also one of the only resorts whose facilities, trails and jungle waterfalls are reserved for exclusive use by resident guests guaranteeing privacy and some of the most personalized service in Belize.

The original homestead was built in 1970 by Julian "Bull" Headley an American captivated by the beauty of the Pine Ridge area. It gradually became an Inn and Bull finally sold it in 2001 to a Belizean family whose portfolio under the umbrella of "The Roesons Group" incorporates many prominent Belizean companies including a major interest in the Sunbreeze Hotel www.sunbreeze.net on Ambergris Caye and the Belize Biltmore Plaza www.belizebiltmore.com in Belize City. Hidden Valley Inn was renovated in 2002 and the management has ten years experience operating exclusive African Photographic Safari Lodges. The Inn was referred to by Forbes.com as "Belize's Hidden Secret". Read the article by clicking on the link below. www.forbes.com/2004/01/15/cx_cv_0115dow.html

The cozy cottages with ceiling fans and screened windows all feature en suite bathrooms providing plentiful hot water. Brick fireplaces, handcrafted mahogany furnishings and elegant décor in earth tones reflect the warm intimacy of the Inn.

The Main House forms the "heart" of the Inn. It has been converted from the original homestead and reflects the graciousness of a high-country lodge with its vaulted ceilings, exotic tropical cypress paneled walls and four fireplaces. Our guests enjoy meeting new friends in the relaxed atmosphere. The three lounges and bar provide ample area to gather before dinner with a cocktail and share information with one another on the adventures of the day, or to settle quietly in a comfortable chair in one of the lounges to read or watch the undisturbed antics of the acorn woodpeckers and hummingbirds.

The swimming pool and hot tub is the perfect place to soak away the stress of urban life or enjoy a frozen margarita at sunset.

Power is supplied by a 110 volt generator between about 6 AM and 10 PM and then inverters supply the cottages with 110 volts through the night as well. Lights are kept to a minimum enhancing the view of the night sky.

A fusion of local and international ingredients lends a truly original flavor to our cuisine making it some of the best food prepared in Belize.

Breakfast starts with our own Hidden Valley Inn Coffee, which is grown and roasted on the property and freshly squeezed juices. A choice of home-baked goods and an assortment of fresh fruits and cereals are on the buffet, followed by a full hot breakfast.

Most guests request a picnic lunch , but there is also the option of a delicious lunch from our a la carte menu.

In the evening, the dining room is set with white linen, fresh flowers and candlelight to create an elegant and intimate atmosphere. The menu changes daily and offers a choice of appetizers, entrees and desserts incorporating both local and international dishes. When the weather is fine we also offer outdoor dining on the pool terrace. The service by attentive Belizean staff is unforgettable; they will charm you with their willingness to provide anything you need.

For those needing to stay in touch, a satellite connection provides high speed internet access. For those with laptops, the main house has wireless connectivity and a cable is available if you do not have wireless.
