Gute Lage, aber überteuert
Pros:

Strategisch günstig gelegen, um innerhalb von einer Stunde Caracol zu erreichen.

Cons:

Uns wurde gesagt, dass es zum Abendessen nur ein Menü gäbe, ohne den Preis zu nennen.
Das Essen war lecker, aber 50 Dollar pro Person extrem überteuert, Getränke nicht inklusiv.

Pros:

Stunning, great views and food, tranquil and peaceful. Theyre looking to build it up but I think its perfect as is, a wilderness retreat.

Friendly people and amazing memories
Pros:

Everything exceeded our expectations, the staff were all so welcoming and attentive. Benoni, Kevin, the chefs, the housekeeping staff and the grounds staff were all amazing. Benoni looked after all our excursions by booking us with tour guides, all the guides were very knowledgeable and very friendly. The food at the lodge was absolutely delicious. The accommodations were extremely clean and staff was always available for anything we needed. I would highly recommend the lodge to anyone. We already miss being there.

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing we disliked.

Secluded lodge on lovely grounds, great staff, but missing some important amenities.
Pros:

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and very pretty. The surrounding countryside is amazing, and you really feel that you are away from civilization. The cabins have a certain rustic charm, with interesting indigenous art on the walls.

Cons:

There is only one electrical outlet in each cabin, and no wifi connection except in the dining area. The bathroom tap had only cold water (though the shower had hot water). The furniture was a bit worn and tired. And the lodge itself can feel rather isolated, since it is a half hour to 40 minutes from San Isidro.

Incredibly kind staff and beautiful grounds with some room/bungalow upgrades needed.
Pros:

Beautiful grounds and really lovely staff. The bungalows were spacious and we enjoyed the daily housekeeping.

Cons:

The bungalows are a bit old and there’s some things that are in need of repair. The beds are hard although I understand this is normal for Belize. The food is pricey. It is good and there is plenty and they accommodated our requests (Marcy is amazing).

Not suitable if you have no transport.
Pros:

The lodge and grounds are very pleasant and attractively situated adjacent to a small river.

Cons:

We had no transport and as there is no where to eat but the lodge. They have no menu, and provide one set meal, but at top a top hotel price.The transfer costs are also high. It is not a destination for hiking as we had hoped.

Good
Cons:

I would recommend to book activity by yourself and not with them. The price was way too high.

They did not tell us that everything was with a 10% service on the bill. We only knew that at the end when we paid our invoice for our whole stay. (Food, activities you book with them, etc)

Great value
Pros:

The lodge is located right on the main road which initially I thought was a draw back since we got some road noise, but after visiting a couple of others, I realized it was a huge advantage. Roads here can be really terrible. Being on the main road made access far more achievable

Cons:

The little edge on a working on improving things like having shampoo in the rooms

Such a unique and cool retreat. Amazing staff, gorgeous property, close to cool things to do!
Pros:

Benoni, Marcia, Oscar, and Kevin were so attentive, friendly, and accommodating! We left early one morning, forgetting our breakfast, and Marcia literally RAN the truck down to ensure we were fed. Good thing because our adventure that day was the ATM Cave, a calorie burner! Room was impeccably clean and maintained. Do not miss the 3 course dinners, YUM! And the grounds are stunning and so well maintained. We will be back!
Maggie and Morgan were so sweet and an excellent welcoming committee!

Cons:

It was lovely to disconnect, but if you need wifi in your room, that's an upgrade that is coming. Wifi is available at the lodge, and the lodge has a lot of comfortable seating. We were early am adventurers, but be aware that there are a few roosters on the property.

Pine Ridge Lodge was a wonderful introduction to Belize for my wife and I. Three days wasn’t long enough.
Pros:

Amazing location, very helpful and friendly staff, great food. Benoni was fantastic.
The lodge rooms sit right on the beautiful river, with an impressive waterfall just a short stroll away.

Cons:

The lodge is remote and rustic making it a great experience. The room amenities are few, with little storage and very small. For us it was not a problem.

Very good
Pros:

It's a very relaxed atmosphere and great for the type of traveler that doesn't need a hair dryer or mints on the pillow. All the staff are friendly and kind. And we loved the lodge's two dogs who immediately befriend everyone.

Cons:

It's an adjustment to remember not to put used toilet paper into the toilet.

Lovely location, great for families with a fantastic restaurant. About to have some major changes
Pros:

Great location for exploring pine ridge reserve. 5 min drive to butterfly farm and 5 min drive to fantastic waterfalls for swimming. Kids loved exploring the grounds- looking for spiders, scorpions etc. Food was amazing- best we've had in Belize and they were able to help with our transfers from belize city at a good price as well as provide transport for local trips. I understand that it is about to undergo significant renovations over the next few months under new ownership, so it will change alot (and probably go up in price!).

Nice retreat
Cons:

This place would’ve been perfect but the rather outrageous sums they charge for dinner, which is nothing to write home about. You’re captive there for dinner so no choice. Otherwise beautiful place!
