We can't express fully how much we enjoyed our time with you both, and of course the other guests as well. In reflection, we don't think we could have picked a better spot to have our wedding. Every day was full of new adventures and vivid memories. I only wish we could have stayed longer. We can't wait to come back sometime. And the food... well, it was wonderful too. Thanks for everything. Bill & Debbie; Oklahoma

Just want to let you know how much we enjoyed our visit with you and your very beautiful resort. Everything was wonderful, food, drinks, your excellent staff, drivers, guides.. the whole deal, don't change a thing! We hope to make another trip maybe with another couple or my Dad. The "cinabons" are a nice touch and I only gained 2 lbs! Could you please send the recipe for your wonderful Banana Velvets? Thanks again! Mark & Sue; Washington

We really missed the Mopan, you folks, and all the rest of you guys when we got over  to the Cayes.  It just wasn't the same...and we probably would not go back there...but definitely will go back to the Mopan.  We really went through Mopan Withdrawal Pains.  Every night at 6 we'd wonder what all was going on at the lounge, started looking for "banana velvets" (never did find any, natch!! :O( , missing the comraderie, the great food, and wondering what was laid on for the next day.  It was truly a relaxing and enjoyable time.  Jeff & Lexi; Wash. DC

Just a quick note to thank you once again for a wonderful, memorable stay at your resort. I am having such a fun time reliving our stay there by telling all the customers (in my store) about your resort. We rave about the meals and all the wonderful trips to the various Maya ruins. I particularly enjoyed the folks who worked there. Please pass on my regards and thanks to [all of them]. You have a wonderful friendly crew and the helped make the stay memorable. I do have one favor to ask of you; if you would please email me the recipe for the [Banana Velvet] which you give to all your guests upon arrival. I look forward to the next time we can stay with you at Mopan. Noe & Judith; California

We enjoyed your resort more than we can tell you. Thank you for making our vacation with your hospitality and good food and drinks. ...All the staff are very professional and caring about the guests. Nobody could ask more from a resort. You have it all!! Duane & Kathy; California

I would just like to personally thank you for a wonderful stay at your resort. ...out of all the places we stayed in Belize, we found yours to be the best we could have chosen; when we arrived everything was first class. If we ever return to Belize, we will definitely stay longer at [Mopan]. I have already recommended it to our family members and anyone else who plans on visiting Belize... It was so much more than we expected! We are only sorry that we didn't stay longer, and could have experienced more of the tours offered. Debbie & Noel; BC Canada

I wanted to write to tell you how wonderful your resort is and how much we appreciated everything you did for us while we were with you. Everything about your lovely piece of paradise was just what we had hoped for. My cabana was perfect and so comfortable. I realized later that I should have stayed on with you for the remainder of the trip. It was much more what I was looking for in a quiet, restful vacation. I would love to return sometime. Janet; California

I just wanted to send you a thank you note for the best vacation we ever had. Jim and I had a great time and we would like to thank [all of you] for making sure it was perfect. We hope to get back soon. Marilyn & Jim; Pennsylvania

Katie and I have travelled a fair amount, and been to high priced resorts and small inns across the globe. Mopan River Resort ranks among the upper tier, in our opinion. From the courtesy and knowledge of the gentleman that picked us up [at the airport], to the warm welcome we received upon crossing the river, to the outstanding food and drink, to the incomparable expeditions, you have hit the mark for a world class resort. Best of all, you have been able to do it in a way that allows you to get to know your guests, ,and more importantly it allows your guests to get to know you and to feel 100% the welcomed friend. The warmth that you exhibit to your guests and that personal touch is what puts Mopan River Resort "over the top." Thanks again, Katie and Don; Illinois

As I sit here back at work, my mind wanders and I'd do anything to be back in the bird tower sipping a Banana Velvet! ...what a wonderful time we had at your resort; and as promised, a vacation we'll never forget. The facility was gorgeous, well maintained, lush and relaxing. All of the extra touches added to the special experience we had at Mopan River Resort. And the food -- simply outstanding! I thought we had a few really good Thai restaurants in our town-- they are minor league compared to [Mopan]! Another unique aspect was the social environment that you create for your guests. We met some great people last week and we'll probably stay in touch with some of them. It was great to hear reports from fellow guests on what to expect during the next day's advnetures. All were a lot of fun and we learned much from your excellent guides about Belize and its culture and history. We will certainly recommend your resort to others. As someone who does economic development work at our local university, I can fully appreciate the impact your efforts, investment and commitment are making to Benque Viejo and the region...very impressive. Thanks again to you and your staff for a fantastic experience at MRR! Leslie and Peter; N. Carolina

Thank you for a fabulous week. My expectations were high because of what I had read and heard but they were exceeded in all respects. As a resident of Belize, I have been to most parts of the country but last week was the best single week in the four years I have lived here. I had not realized the advantage of your location until I visited. We spent less time driving to Tikal and the many attractions of western Belize than guests at any other resort. This meant more time at the sites and more time back at the resort enjoying your hospitality. Best wishes, David; Corozal, Belize

We enjoyed every minute of our stay with you. I have been to several top-rated resorts, and it is clear that Mopan River beats them all. Our stay was incredible...hopefully, we will have another opportunity to visit with you. We are passing the word on to our family and friends. Mopan River goes above and beyond. Steve and Sandra; N. Carolina

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Mopan. This was the best vacation we have ever had. You guys were great, the food was great. Thanks so much. We want to come back to Belize next year. Is your recipe for World's Best Coleslaw a secret? I would like to have the recipe! Jim and Cynthia; Illinois

We long for the days spent at your piece of paradise. The resort was more beautiful than we imagined. Everything was perfect from the moment we met the two of you to the day we departed. We enjoyed all of the tours as well as the knowledge and friendliness of [your guides]. Your version of happy hour when everyone gathers to have a pre-dinner drink and talk about their day proved to be a wonderful way to meet the other guests, share our experiences and get to know them. The kitchen staff should be commended for their hard work from early in the morning, making those wonderful sandwiches for our lunches, till after the evening meal. This trip was the most unique that we have taken. It is one we will always remember. We look forward to returning some day soon. We wish you continued health, happiness and success. Gord & Donna, Kelly & Jackie, Michael & Ian; Saskatchewan, Canada

It's not often a resort exceeds our expectations, but Mopan River certainly did. We had a great time, one we will be talking about for years to come. I can't tell you how nice it is to come back all hot, tired (and maybe aching and soaking wet too) and find a cool, comfortable cabana and a fabulous dinner waiting for you. Thank you for your hospitality. We appreciate your efforts to make us feel at home. It was great to meet such nice people. We are bragging about Mopan River Resort to all the people we know, so who knows, you may have more guests from Idaho in the future! Mary Ann and Joe; Idaho

Laura and I would like to thank you for everything! Your warmth, friendliness and hospitality made the entire trip. Obviously, you've carved a niche of paradise. Your attention to detail in creating this place, right down to the smallest thing, was exquisite. The food was fantastic, and how about those VELVETS!! Thanks again for everything. Laura and Peter; Texas

You have such a special place here in the Cayo area. We will never forget our "jungle experiences", the people we have met and most of all, our hosts, who have put together a fantastic package of services. We will definitely recommend Mopan River to our friends and hope to return ourselves. Dick & Judy; Washington

Thank you both again for an enchanting six days at your charming and unique resort. our warm hospitality and outstanding price/performance ratio make Mopan River one of the best values we have ever found during years of world travel. Not only will we recommend your resort to everyone, but will likely return ourselves one day just to enjoy your delicious comforts again. Dick and Marilyn; California

Thanks for letting us stay with you for the last week. It was more fun than I could have imagined! All of the tours were great, as was the resort, staff, and most importantly the two of you. You have set a truly high bar that I do not think anyone else in the world will be able to reach. Thank you again for your company and the wonderful experience you provided for us. Rachel & Jason; N. Carolina

...We are still talking about our great week at the Mopan River Resort! We wanted to email you to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay with you: The tours, especially the cave trips, were great adventures. We loved the food, the company the tours, banana velvets... Thank you again. Murray & Victor; Texas

We would like to take one last opportunity to thank you for your hospitality during our week's stay at Mopan River Resort. We enjoyed every minute of our visit there! Every aspect of your facility is exemplary. Our cottage was wonderful, and was well cared for by your staff. Meals (and libations!) were beyond excellent. The daily excursions were well planned and well executed, we enjoyed every one. We loved the isolation afforded by the river/ferry. We loved the wonderful setting that you have worked so hard to provide your guests. But, most of all, we would like to thank you for making us (and all guests) feel like "family" during our stay. We have traveled extensively, but have never quite experienced the sense of belonging to a group that you engender there. We'll miss you... Bill & Sarah; New Mexico

Our Mopan River Resort experience was awesome! We found everything we could have asked for--a beautiful resort, a variety of fun and interesting activities, delicious meals, a responsive staff, and the most gracious hosts on the planet. We will treasure the memories of our time here for the rest of our lives. Dave & Darley; California

Many thanks for the really grand time we had at Mopan. It was one of the most unusual, warm, and wondrous trips we have taken, and the accommodations and attention to detail for the daily expeditions, were above all of our expectations. We loved visiting over on Ambergris Caye...but the unusualness of your resort and daily expeditions were truly the highlights of our trip. Gene & Mary; Kentucky

Even as I write this, I wish I were clambering over Temples II and IV at Tikal, or looking forward to a Banana Velvet later in the day. Thanks to both of you for your part in making sure I had a terrific trip. Thanks also to everyone working behind the scenes. This is the first time I've ever written a thank-you note to a resort -- proof positive that you aren't a business establishment, but rather are more like family to those of us who stay with you! Kathy; Florida

I wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for everything you did for us during our stay. Everything from the food, drinks, and of course your hospitality, was first class. We had a great time on our honeymoon [in Belize], especially during our stay with you. Thanks for arranging everything and making our part of the deal pretty effortless. We really did feel more like guests than customers, and that's the first time I've felt that way leaving a resort. Glen & Nicole; California

We can't imagine a better place to spend a week's vacation than at Mopan River Resort. The food, excursions, hospitality, staff, environment, and special touches were unsurpassed. We will be recommending your resort to all our friends and family. Cindy & Mark; Wyoming
