We stayed at Calico Jacks for two nights recently with our two boys, 13 and 9. Onsite, they have both the best ziplining in the country as well as great caves to explore. Therefore, for activities, you are not being transported for several hours and the fee's are lower. There are only two units on the property so don't expect... More

Our 2-night stay at Calico Jack's was phenomenal. We experienced the jungle and all its natural beauty, as well as the amazing hospitality of the owners and staff. The food was delicious, the rooms fantastic. Being in the jungle in the rain, surrounded by the most beautiful tropical plants and wildlife was awesome. We were blown away by the art,... More

Safety was the main concern by Calico Jacks. Safe practices, double cables, safety lanyard, guide practices were cut and dried science of safety. They handle all the gear so you know it has never been dropped, damaged or connected improperly. I can respect this as I am a Commercial Tour Operator back home in BC Canada. But I personal was...

We are frequent travelers to Belize. When we find a hotel we like, we return to it again. We discovered Calico Jack's while researching environmentally responsible hotels in Belize. Their wonderful hotel in Maya Beach, was one of those, and we've spent many hours relaxing in their cabanas by the sea. When we heard that Chet Williams and Ydahlia Metzgen... More

We came to Calico Jack’s to zip line through the canopy and had a blast. As first timers, we were a bit nervous, but our guides professionalism and clear explanation of the process quickly settle any qualms. We only had time to do two of the lines, but would love to go back and try the new line they opened... More

My husband and I are Belizeans but have lived in the US for 38 years. Our children were born in the US and we have traveled extensively. Belize is by far our favorite place. It's home. The beauty of Belize is captured at Calico Jacks- El Progresso , Cayo district. The location is a little difficult to get to but... More

My wife and I went to the new resort being developed at Cayo, and spent a whole day walking its medicine trail, exploring one of its caves, and (madly) testing a 500 foot zip line running over the forest canopy. We had the best one day's activity in years and if we were not laughing, we were stunned into silence... More

We had the most amazing experience at Calico Jacks inn February 2008. We have two boys 11 & 8, who cannot stop talking about the trip, the hotel, the food, and the small staff who felt like family by the end of our week. CJ's is small, maybe 10 cabanas? It was so quiet, there were other guests during our... More
