Fantastic spot to stay upon landing in Belize. Minutes from the airport, we were relaxing in our room 15 minutes after landing. Kevin is a fantastic host, with solid advise on food and transportation. He also picked up food from the brewery for us.

A Belizians Stay
Kevin was so welcoming from the moment you arrived. He took time to walk us to our room and show us each bit of it. He was moving all day between getting guests to and from the dock, to showing guests to their rooms, to helping guests get food or shuttles. He did it all with a smile too! The rooms are dated, but spacious and comfortable. We really liked having a kitchen in ours so we could stop at Sky Markets, nearby, and cook our meals. The showers are heated which is a treat after 7 island days. The porches are all equipped with hammocks which is nice to take in the evening or morning breeze. They also let you use their fishing pools to fish off the dock in the old Belize river! Breakfast was nice too.

Pets accepted, but not "friendly"
The cabana was clean enough and the setting is beautiful. There was only one person working there. He was was not service oriented in any way. Took his time with everything and not helpful.The booking said it was pet friendly, however, there are 4 dogs running loose on the property that were harassing my dog every time we took her out to potty.

Totally enjoyed the River Bend Resort!
Our stay at the River Bend Resort was great. Kevin was great! He was extremely friendly and informative. Whatever we needed he was there with it! The grounds are very cute and it is very close to the airport! We didn't realize that we would have to park across the river and then have a boat come pick us up, but it all worked out and our car was totally safe where we left it! We would book the River Bend again.

Unique
We found this to be a unique place in need of a bit of a tuneup. First and foremost, the on site staff of Kevin and Genelle are wonderful and kind. There is a nice dock for enjoying a beer. Our room had a country feel, which we hoped to have. Food was a bit challenging to get delivered but we made due. Kevin was prompt in getting us out on time to catch our flight. Avoid conversation with the onsite owner - I’ll just leave it at that. Anyway, it’s a fun place but go with tempered expectations.

A Taste of the Jungle
This was a great, more primitive jungle experience. If you're looking for a fine hotel, you'll be disappointed. But the boat arrival, bird sounds at night, and jungle foliage were unique experiences. Breakfast was very limited as well. I wish we would have stayed long enough to take the jungle boat tour they offered.

The customer service at this resort is excellent. A rare tropical storm had flooded out the road to this resort, so we couldn’t make it there for our stay. But when I called customer service, they were very easy to work with and gave me a full refund for my stay. I hope to stay here the next time I am in Belize.

Cute property on the Belize River and super close to the airport. They have a nice little lobby/bar/hangout area with pool table, tv games, and fishing supplies. Our little cottage was amply stocked with the basic kitchenette items and was clean and spacious.

We liked having to take a boat ride over to the inn. Very unique. Since it was raining so hard we didn't get a chance to walk around. The breakfast was adequate , we had enough to eat.

Total rip off
Didn't tell us we needed to board a boat when we booked. Said 2 miles from airport. One of us in a wheelchair and one coming from Africa. Tried to cancel immediately and would not let us. So a total rip off. No refund hence bad review.
It's worth it to be honest when advertising

The highlight of our stay were a pair of brawling iguanas right in front of our cabin! River Bend is a convenient 5 minute drive from the airport. The staff is exceptionally accommodating, and they went out of their way to help us feel (and be!) safe.
It is a rustic location, which was perfect for us, as we are experienced rural travelers. Note that the last leg of the trip involves a 1 to 3 minute boat ride. There is a fully stocked grocery store nearby - once you are on the other side of the river it is a walkable distance, but I recommend that you strongly consider the taxi, as the driver gave us a lot of additional information.
