A gentle breeze and the thatched roof make the temperature inside the room pleasant both day and night. Each room contains a queen-sized bed and a single bed. Garden View Thatched Cabanas - As the name suggests, the Garden View cabanas offer a great view of the garden and landscape of Crystal Paradise. Each room has a double bed and single bed. Regular Room - These economical rooms may not come with a porch and hammock but are near a palapa with hammocks and sitting area. We offer these rooms at a reduced rate. Jungle Tree Houses - For those seeking a more primitive adventure (no electricity or flush toilets), we recommend staying in tree houses at Martz Farm. Located about an hour from Crystal Paradise, they offer family-style comfortable lodging in the jungle tree tops. While here you can go horseback riding or caving in the jungle. Your hosts there, the friendly Martinez family, provide safe drinking water and excellent food. ACTIVITIES: Let Paradise Expeditions be your guide to Belize.
