Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge, a Muy’Ono Resort

We loved most things about this place and would very likely choose to stay here again. The best part was that you really felt like you were in the jungle and we saw a variety of wild animals (kinkajou, coatimundi, a variety of interesting birds) while dining because fruit is left out for them nearby. I doubt there is anywhere else in this area that this is possible. The entire grounds are gorgeously kept, and there's a lovely river on sight and they provide tubes and canoes that you can use for free (also mountain bikes). The staff was great and food and drinks were good. Our cabin was beautiful, large, secluded and seemed like a very good price. The bed was very comfortable. Now the negatives: it is 4 miles down a very rough road, so you don't want to come and go often. The food and drinks were expensive, likely twice what we paid in Ambergris Caye the days prior. Although happy hour had 50% off all drinks. The wifi is very good in the dining area but there was none in our cabin (this is a place to "disconnect" I think though). There is no air conditioning and it was very hot during the day, but we slept comfortably with fans on at night and woke up with a chill in the air. If you're a light sleeper, you might struggle with the noise of the bugs at night and birds in the morning.

We enjoyed the lodge overall. Food was a bit overpriced for Belize but there were few options nearby. PIllows and bedding could use an upgrade. Overall a rustic vibe in the middle of the jungle. No cell service and wifi in some areas.
