Lower Dover Jungle Lodge & Maya Ruins

Oh may this place is a gem. Maddy is a beautiful person & so helpful! This was stop #2 after arrival in Belize City! Peaceful, food is 1st class! I rode the bus from Belize City to Lower Dover & I’d do it all again just beautiful! Kid would have a blast here!

Maddie is awesome. She makes sure you are comfortable and happy. She is also a great cook. The meals are made with love. We will be back. Great relaxing stay.

We had the most experience at Lower Dover and can't wait to come back! Maddie is the absolute sweetest and very knowledgable. She took as on a tour of the ruins and it blew our minds! This hostel is sitting on so much history, this is a very unique opportunity a place to stay! We got the home cooked breakfast and dinners and they were all so so delicious! The cabin was comfy and cozy. Don't miss out on staying here!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lower Dover. We didn't have a car, but a bus stop was a 10 minute walk away so it was easy to get into San Ignacio. Maddie was a wonderful, helpful host. She dropped us off in San Ignacio one day, had great suggestions on things to do, ate dinner with us many nights, played board games with us, and made delicious food. We especially enjoyed the vegetarian dinners she made for us when there weren't other guests. We stayed in the Red Cabana. It was perfect for us and included a comfortable bed and outdoor toilet. They were building a bar very close to the cabana when we were there, so that may take away from the lovely deck lounging atmosphere. Her property was great for meandering through the forest exploring ruins, and looking for wildlife. It was a great place to chill for a few days.

5/5 Lower Dover is the most interesting place i stay on this trip. It is a quiet jungle lodge, clean, comfortable, with adorable animals. Host Mandy and her family are super nice, help me so much during my stay, thanks to Mandy's help, i got the last chance to join ATM cave tour, which i highly recommend to all my friends. The breakfast and dinner they provide are natrual, healthy and delicious, must try. i met four othet guests here, we always had happy dinner together. Fantanstic!

This place is very back to nature. They have a mini farm with turkeys and ducks etc. Because it’s a little out of the way they do offer Brkfst and dinner. If you book in advance they reserve dinner. If coming in late, take advantage it was a very nice meal. There is also a time restriction for dinner, be aware. Owner is very nice and informative.
