The Lodge is beautiful. It is situated in a lawned clearing within the reserve, with white-washed cabanas circling the ruins of a small Mayan Plaza.

The Cabanas, built in the traditional Mayan style with high thatched roofs are fully screened, spacious and cool. Each is detached with a roomy bathroom and hot water is provided in the showers. Most rooms have electricity.

The main building, also designed in the traditional Mayan style, nestles on the hillside, looking down over the lawns to the creek and dense forest below. Lantern-lit evening meals of European and Caribbean dishes are served buffet style.

The Verandah Bar and Lounge is a large thatched open space, comfortably furnished. A welcoming center for relaxing. There is a small but interesting library. The tranquil environment is ideal for simply relaxing.

Vicki and Ray Snaddon are the friendly hosts who genuinely enjoy getting acquainted with their guests. They will look after your needs personally, ensuring that you get full enjoyment out of your stay. Vicki does most of the cooking herself, serving up delicious meals with Caribbean and European flavors. The evening starts with cocktails and conversation in the lounge followed by a delicious dinner served buffet-style in the lantern-lit dining room.

When you have unwound and are ready for adventure there is a whole range of Activities available at Pook's Hill.

This coupled with its unparalleled position in the very heart of the country, makes Pook's Hill a perfect base to discover the sites and sounds of Belize.
