Kiskadee Lodge

Punta Gorda

My husband and I, along with my mother, were visiting family in the Toledo district. Kiskadee Lodge was a short (5-10 minutes) drive to Punta Gorda but closer to the jungle, which is what we wanted. Kendrick, Sharely, Maria, and Amir were wonderful people - attentive, informative, and very friendly, but they made a point of giving us our privacy. 

We had breakfasts some of the days, and Maria and Sharely served authentic Mayan or Belizean preparations - delicious! Kendrick and Amir also gave us a personal tour around the beautiful spread-out property, which contains an believable number of fruit trees, vegetables, and jungle, as well as an interesting history. 

We could also hang out on the couches or hammocks in the lodge, where wi-fi is available, and Kendrick was diligent about having the wi-fi extender work for the casitas. However, be aware that southern Belize is not reputed to have a good, reliable network connection. 

The casitas themselves were large and comfortable, with fans, mosquito nets, a hot/cold-water shower, and two comfortable queen beds in each casita; the beds were comfortable even for very tall people. The surrounding area is breathtaking and alive with the aromas, sounds, and sights of the jungle. The pictures of Kiskadee are very accurate. 

We arrived in the rainy season, but perhaps the following items of note are applicable all year round: 1) bring umbrellas, a headlamp, and rubber shoes (clogs or boots) to go to and from the casitas/rooms and to walk around the local areas; (Kendrick didn't know we were prepared; the first night we had come back from visiting, he came out to the car in the pouring rain with umbrellas and lights for us, so we could make it back to the casitas. That's a considerate host!!) 
2) be sure to bring cash or have PayPal ready to pay for the meals ordered plus the mandatory accommodations 9% (July 2017) tax because Kiskadee doesn't have a credit card machine; 
3) the closest ATM is in Punta Gorda (use the Belize Bank; the Scotia Bank ATM doesn't always work and it charges a higher transaction fee); 
4) don't forget to use bug repellent because the mosquitos and sand flies will feast on you; this is the jungle; and 
5) be aware that the jungle has beasties, small and large, which are a natural part of the whole rain forest experience. 

We would definitely stay at Kiskadee Lodge again and highly recommend it for visitors to the Toledo District of Belize!


Jungle heaven

I enjoyed a nice stay in this low key hut. It was quiet and comfortable and the host Marr ( Maria ) was amazing. I was an idiot and went ocean kayaking my first day in Punta Gorda which is a nice little fishing village in Toledo district. I got burnt! I mean burnt up and couldn't walk. Well, Marr brought me food and cared for me and I will never forget her kindness!! I love you Marr and the Kiskadee lodge and will be back some day.

LOVELY HOST

This small jungle lodge on the outskirts of Punta Gorda is a great place to rest up and relax in a nature filled atmosphere.
Good wifi in the common area and a hot shower in a huge all tiled ensuite is a rare combination in Belize.
Clean simple traditional thatch housing gives Kiskadee lodge an authentic Belizean vibe.
It's easy to get there by car and a bus stop to PG and the surrounding villages is across the road from the lodge.
Kiskadee is a good central location to several Mayan ruins, Punta Gorda, local food and more.



Great rate, comfy jungle retreat 

A family run lodge with huge acreage that really makes you feel at home in the jungle. There are just a couple very nice cabins which keeps it extra quiet.  The home cooked meals are simple and authentic, perfect for those who want a true jungle experience. The staff are friendly and helpful but also allow you a quiet and personal experience. Kiskadee lodge is perfect for the adventurer looking for a more authentic jungle experience.

Great for animal lovers!

Caretaker Maria and Amir are really friendly and underwent all efforts to make us feel really comfortable. @ Maria: thanks for your great and wonderful homemade chicken....yummy we can only recommend this place !

Thanks

The lodges are located on a large property planted with oranges and lemon trees. They offer large rooms, very clean, and very well furnished. Ours had a bathroom adjacent to the room but with a view to the outside. A real natural break, very pleasant and very relaxing. Just a little pity that the staff were quite unfavorable, especially on the last day, and the very basic breakfast. We had a hard time putting up with the poor dog who was crying because he was tied up all day near the restaurant.

A good place to visit the Deep South

Unfortunately, we only spent one night at the Kiskade Lodge, but on that one day Kendrick, Sharely and their team were able to plant this magical place as an unforgettable paradise in our hearts. The luxurious Kendalow garden is located in the middle of a tropical park of oranges and mango trees, palm trees and numerous other flowering plants, vanilla orchids grow in the surrounding forest and star fruit, but each of us was able to enjoy freshly picked from the streams as much as we wanted. The bungalow is extraordinarily pleasingly tasty, extraordinarily tasty (two adults, two teenagers) and the windows of the park offer a fantastic round-trip taste in the park, but we also enjoyed the lovely taste of our beautiful gardens and gardens, as well as the taste of our lovely gardens and gardens, as well as the taste of our lovely dining rooms and restaurants, as well as the luxurious dining room and the luxurious dining room, which we have enjoyed in our hotel rooms and restaurants, but we would not have been able to
