Great location to stay for a few days after crossing the border. 

- Getting there: Follow Google Maps until it looks like you're going to drive into the lake. Turn left and go between the concrete wall and the lake (the lake was very close to the wall when we were there but we didn't have to engage 4x4). 

- Price: We paid $10 Belize pp.

- Showers & bathroom: We had access to our own indoor bathroom with a shower.

- WiFi: Good speeds for us; 20mbps download and 10mbps upload.

- Other things to note: Nary was very kind and friendly. Carrie's Kitchen is a great place to eat; whatever they have as the special of th day is probably th best choice. Nary can probably find out their hours and special for th day if you ask her.

Really friendly, quite tight turn in but no problem good showers , right on the Lagoon

Entry to the area is $8 BZD per person now.

We didn’t pay any entry to the area. Nobody wanted anything, the road is under construction so perhaps the entry booth was removed? Jacana Inn is a nice and peaceful place right at the lagoon. The owner is very friendly, opened a hotel room for us to use the bathroom. 10$ per person.
We didn’t need electricity so we didn’t ask for it. Wifi didn’t work. She told us it doesn’t work with iPhone only with android????

Still open! Very quiet place and friendly hosts, the perfect place to have a closer look at the crooked tree village. Parking on grass with a view at the lagoon and they let you use the bathroom with a shower inside an unoccupied hotel room. Still 20 BZD per van per night. Great stay!

A place directly on the lagoon. Parking with grass. The owners are very nice. We were the only ones there. 20bz$ per night for RV and the whole family. We caught some fish in the lagoon and cooked them. They are called crana, they were delicious. Wifi.
We could use a bathroom with toilet and shower. We had an extremely quiet night, perfect !

We had a peaceful stay in the garden at the beautiful lagoon.

Great place to stay in the crooked tree wildlife reserve. It's still 20 BZD for a van / 2 people, and she will give you access to a very clean bathroom with shower and good wifi. Nari is super friendly and welcoming. Great view on the laguna. She told us the trails in the reserve were not maintained due to the pandemic, but we could spot a lot of birds inside the village as well.

You need to pay the fee for the reserve separately (one time fee of 8BZD per person) at the entrance of the village (there's a sign saying please check in here). They normally also have trail maps available there.

We camped here for 2 night for 20 Belize per night. Safe place, pretty view of lake, good birding. Strong wifi. Let us use the bathroom and shower in one of their rooms. The shower was very weak and mostly cold water. We rented their "canoe" for 40 Belize for an entire day from 6am until night. Didnt eat here, but they do serve all meals if told in advance. The owners are very nice. had an interesting tour from Earl, the husband, of all the different food plants they are growing on their property. He's recently moved back from LA to retire here on this parcel of land, which has been his family's property for at least a few generations

Very nice owners. We loved this place. we payed for a room 25 US Dollars instead normally 35.
Campground ist 10 US Dollars per tent. WiFi close to the bureau is well, but not in the rooms far away. Absolutely recommended.

Report Check-In

Place with lovely owners! Can park direct in the direction of the water. Best to come in the main season to see the birds and maybe the manatees. In the low season a good place to stay for one or two nights. For shower and toilet you get access to one of the cabana rooms.

Report Check-In

Quiet and tranquil place to stay. The lady was lovely. We could use electricity (a cord to reach the plug inside the house is necessary). Wifi works better by the side of the house, between the fence and the house. The gate was already fixed when we were there.
Two people + defender with rooftop tent 20 belizean dollars

Report Check-In

Very friendly owners as previously described - they were fixing the entrance so we couldn't go in, but we could park right outside the house.
Electricity available, just bring an extension cord (6 meters or so to the house).
Shower and toilet inside the hotel, clean but not too much water pressure in the shower.
Toiletries and towels also included.
Unfortunately water level is too high at the lagoon right now, so not many birds.
Wifi wasn't working but I think it's a temporary issue.
Nice place for our first night in Belice :)

Great camping place as previously described. Ask the owner about her cashew wine. 12Bz per bottle and worth every penny.

This is a really quiet and peaceful place, good to relax. Earl and Nerie are a lovely couple and we enjoyed our time so much, we stayed three nights instead of only one. Nerie opens one of the guestrooms showers for us and we haven’t had a private bathroom since a while. Also the people in the village are very welcoming, we went for a walk and it started raining, so we were invited twice to villagers homes to wait for the rain to stop. We loved this place! 20,- BZ per night

Earl is a very nice person. We paid 20BZ with electricity. The WiFi works great. It’s a very good place to camp. :) the lake is beautiful.

Still 10usd for 2 in a minivan, perfect for a first night after crossing the border. Earl and his wife are very friendly and helpful! Good wifi and access to a room for bathroom and very hot shower. But don’t forget the mosquitos repellent for the sunset time, they’re pretty agressive, although they’re quickly gone after that..

We spent one relaxing night at Earl and Nari's place. They are awesome hosts; very welcoming and friendly. We parked our van in the garden and could enjoy a hot shower and their - relatively - fast wifi. It is still 10 Belize Dollar pp pn.

Great host with a lot of local knowledge. myself, host Earl and an overlandrer couple from Belgium spend a better part of the night having a great conversation. Plenty of room for all kinds of vehicles, could be a problem when the water level is high. Paid 35 for a spotless room.

Beautiful beautiful beautifulllll spot! What a great hosts. Incredible friendly. Good wifi, clean bathrooms. It's just a amazing place to relax. Every morning between 5:30 and 8:00 you can see some sea cows in front of you in the Lagoon. So many birds around. Just a great spot with the best hosts so far since our 16 month trip. They also have some rooms available for 35bd. Enjoy your stay!

Earl and Nari were great hosts. The cashew festival is coming up and they took the time to educate us on the fruit and flower and even gave us some to sample! The parking is spacious with a great view of the water. We enjoyed some of the fastest wifi we have seen in awhile. They had solid grounded power - a rare find for us in the past few months. The tourist office said this time of year some of the best bird viewing can be done between the tourist office and the Jacana Inn. We paid $20 Belize a night for 2 people. They opened a hotel room and gave us bathroom and shower access. Nari was also nice enough to do our laundry at a very reasonable rate. We stayed 5 nights.

Very friendly owners! They will open a room for you an you can use restrooms, shower and wifi.You camp just at the boarder of the lagoon. In the afternoon there is shadow from trees. In the morning we saw a lot of birds when we did a longer walk. In Town there are lots of Cashew Nut trees. We payed 20 B$ for two people.

Nice place and nice owners. Worth it if you need a shower and wifi. Clean bathroom. Nice view on the lake.
We paid the entrance fee to the reserve but I doubt this is necessary as the guard insisted to have a donation rather than we pay the entrance fee. Then we did not get any receipt. Great place to see amazing birds.

Quiet, awesome little place right on the water. Good internet and they'll open up a room for you to use the shower/bathroom.

Earl and his wife are really nice and treat you like welcome guests to their Inn and to Belize. They're also a wealth of information, with tons of awesome suggestions on travel in the country.

Lots of coconuts in the yard and you can wander a few yards to the water to fish in the morning..

$20bzd/night.

We bought a bottle of cashew wine for BZ$ 12. Very nice. Crooked Tree is all about cashews.
Beware if you stay on a Friday or Saturday; young locals come to the lake at night to drink and play loud reggae music well into the night. Bring earplugs.

we parked on the grass beside the inn and were able to plug in. Paid 20BZD for two ppl and our truck. Confirm coordinates are wrong as it is across the causeway. when you come into village turn right at T junction and follow the signs. There are some Adirondack chairs on the shore under some trees. Neri and Earl, the hosts, very helpful. They sprayed around our truck when we commented about there being a lot of ants.
