This place was awesome! We stayed in a bungalow named Kinkajou and we actually saw a Kinkajou (also called Honey Bear) while we were there! The food was delicious and the wait staff were very nice and efficient. The best partwe were literally in the middle of the jungle!!! Saw so many birds that were lifers!!! Highly recommend Pooks Hill!

Best birding spot for beginners and avid birders. Nice jungly rooms and endless activities both on-site and top notch tours. Very professional staff. Highly recommend.

Very tranquil place. The wildlife is pretty amazing there, even despite the fact that it's been decimated by Mayan, English, and Spanish rule for the past 2 or more millennia. It's attached to the Tapir Mountain reserve, and one can actually see tapir tracks on the trails along with a number of cat tracks. I would make one suggestion to the owner. I would love for the manicured lawn down at the base of the property to be "set free". There are approximately 5 acres of prime lowland forest waiting to grow up if someone would simply leave the lawnmower away. But I'm a biologist and I teach restoration ecology

Good food and people. Very wild surroundings with lots to see. In my opinion, they could benefit from adding bug netting around the bed rather than just over the top. Overall, a fun and memorable visit.

Went here in August 2013. Simply an amazing piece of land and great owners. I loved the bird walk cabana!! Also loved the river on their plot of land.

Pooks hill is gorgeous (of course, it's in the lush jungles of Belize) and the staff could not be nicer or more attentive.
That being said, there are a few things you should know before staying here:
1. You'll be way off the beaten path, and will have to drive off-road drive to there.
2. Bugs can be a huge problem. I was eaten alive by mosquitos my whole stay.
3. The little bungalows are essentially open rooms - there's a wall that separates the bathroom from the bedroom, but everything is open, so expect there to be no secrets between you and your bungalow-mate.
4. Go to ATM (Actun Tunichil Muknal) - one of the staff here gave us a tour and it was absolutely fantastic.
All-in-all I'd stay here again. I'd just bring serious bug spray.response / report this review
