Ꙭ After booking, you’ll receive a Personalized Digital Guest Guidebook ______________________________________________________________ The Belize Bungalow is one of the LUCKY DREAMER LODGE bungalows. The large deck has 4 hammocks, and additional seating - with room to spare! We are steps away from the Macal River and have a two-person kayak and inner tubes ready for your use (no additional charge). The Belize Bungalow does not have a view of the river, but does have an enchanting jungle-yard view (as seen in the many photos). We also have a second bungalow on the property with a river view that sleeps 2 - the Banana Bungalow ( airbnb.com/h/banana-bungalow-lucky-dreamer-lodge ). And if you have a group of up to 6 people, book both! The Belize Bungalow is a stand-alone cabin. It was our home for over 5 years, before we built our current home closer to the river. The Belize Bungalow is roomy and functional, but not fancy :-) The Belize Bungalow is fully screened. There is a custom-made mahogany queen bed, and two twin-size sofa beds. The very large, covered/screened deck overlooks the property with extra seating and private dining area. There are over 100 variety of birds on our property! We had a birdwatcher identify over 60 bird species in a three-week period! We are an official e-Bird HotSpot. There is a separate outdoor kitchen/dining area for the use of our guests. It is a shared area with guests that book our other Bungalow. The kitchen is not inside the bungalow - as just boiling water would heat the entire room! Even our own kitchen is 'outside.' :-) The outdoor kitchen is a few steps away from the bungalow. We provide ground coffee, sugar, powdered cream, salt, pepper, and other condiments/cooking ingredients. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots/pans, mixing bowls, dishes flatware, cups, etc. We also have items such as aluminum foil, plastic wrap, non-stick spray, etc. We also provide unlimited filtered water for the use of guests. We recommend bringing refillable/lidded bottles to take advantage of the water and to avoid buying bottled water while here. Cold water is in the frig, as well as ice cubes for guest use. We pay your AirBnB Booking Fee + we do not charge any Housekeeping Fees! LUCKY DREAMER LODGE has been named 2021, 2022 & 2023 Best Central American Jungle Glamping Venue AND awarded the LUXlife Community Impact Award 2022 for Belize, and Green Initiative Award for 2023. We were also featured in the Sept 2022 edition of International Living. Check out the photos for the entire article. Guest access Lucky Dreamer Lodge guests have access to the 1.5 acre property, which includes a genuine Mayan mound (yes, you WILL find Mayan pottery, guaranteed!) but you have to leave it behind. Other features include an outdoor dining area/kitchen with a full-size frig and charcoal grill. There is also a double sink and 6-burner gas stove and oven - and lots of countertop space. We also have a guest laundry facility where guests can do laundry for no additional charge. Please let us know if you want to do laundry so we can turn on the butane and electricity. We grow fruits, herbs and vegetables. You are welcome to anything ready to harvest! Depending on the time of year herbs may include, basil, parsley, rosemary, oregano, garlic chives & mint. Veggies may include tomatoes, onions, lettuce, hot peppers, and more! Fruits include bananas, pineapples, mangos, soursop, dragon fruit, avocado, raspberries, nuts, and more! The bungalow has a spacious private covered deck, with 4 hammocks and other deck seating. There is a 2-person kayak available at no extra charge, as well as inner tubes for use on the Macal River - which is in our backyard! There are dams on the river, so in the afternoon the river rises and flows quicker - that's why we recommend kayaking only in the morning. Pick-up service for the kayak is not available. It is not feasible to kayak to San Ignacio as there are no secure places to dock. Please note that the bicycles are available to use within our village. They are 'well used' bikes and would not fare well on the roads outside of our village.

We welcome all races, ethnicities, genders, orientations & religions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUCKY DREAMER LODGE is Gold Standard Certified by the Belize Tourism Board. No AirBnB Booking Fee! No Housekeeping/Cleaning Fee! If you need more space than the Belize Bungalow, we have another AirBnB listing that sleeps 2, called the Banana Bungalow. Book both Bungalows for Groups up to 6 people (inclusive of children). Belize requires all legal accommodations to be licensed. Our License # is 2078. There are a LOT accommodations in Belize that are not licensed (a few in our village) - so please ask them before booking if the listing doesn't mention the BTB license#. Please note that we are required to collect 9% sales tax. We do NOT have a gratuity charge. *************************** No open flames permitted in/near the bungalows. Also, no food, drinks, wrappers, etc., permitted inside the bungalow. This is a jungle and the jungle bugs (mostly ants) LOVE food and have an amazing jungle communication network to share new sources of food with! *************************** LUCKY DREAMER LODGE is a member of 'Pack for a Purpose' - we collect donated supplies for two local organizations - Cayo Animal Welfare Society and the Cristo Rey R.C. Village School. *************************** Cristo Rey Village is in the jungle region of Belize. While this provides incredible beauty and natural wonders, it also means that heat, humidity, sudden tropical squalls, power outages and water outages are not uncommon (However, we do have a back-up generator, and back-up water supply & pump). ************************** We have free high speed wi-fi service on the property and in the bungalow. It is fast and reliable! However, if the power to the village goes out, we do lose internet service, but that doesn’t happen often. ************************** We strive for a calm, serene & relaxing environment; and most of the time it is just that. However, the local birds are very active as daylight breaks, and the Howler Monkeys can be a bit startling at night. We are also in the middle of a small, but active village. Sometimes the neighboring roosters, dogs, church music, etc. can be heard. HOLIDAY DISCLAIMER Holidays are VERY festive times in Belize, and the love for celebrations is deeply ingrained in the culture. During holidays, it's common for locals to enjoy lively gatherings with music and fireworks, contributing to a vibrant and joyous atmosphere. We understand that this exuberance may be disruptive to some guests' stays. However, whether staying with us, or anywhere else in Belize, it will be louder than normal during all Belize Holidays. And a Holiday isn't just a single day of celebration..... Belizeans start celebrating days before and usually at least one day after any given holiday. Some of the 'loudest' holidays are New Years, Easter, Belize Independence Day (Sept) and Christmas. For more information about Belize Holidays, we recommend reading our Blog article: belize-holidays-popular-to-little-known So, for those guests who are extremely noise sensitive please keep these things in mind.
