The property is very quiet and the staff is super helpful and nice. We felt the food was a bit overpriced for the portion sizes and the flavors were just okay. The drinks were amazing. The tour to the cave on property was fantastic! We did the horse back riding as well.

Don’t give it another thought- book your stay at The Banks! I promise you won’t regret it! Beautiful property with no detail spared- Our family of four stayed at The Banks at the end of May for 3 nights and we wished we could have extended our stay. We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom villa on the river, the rooms were beautiful and spacious, very clean and we loved the outdoor showers. We also had our own plunge pool that was definitely larger than your average plunge pool. Humo, the restaurant onsite was delicious and had several options to choose from. We also visited the Sleeping Giant for dinner one evening and had wonderful pizza at Donatos. At The Banks we enjoyed kayaking down the Sibun River, riding bikes, and hiking. We rented a car from the BZE airport which I would highly recommend- this made it easy and convenient to take days trips- we visited St. Herman’s cave and did their tubing tour, the Blue Hole national park (amazing), Armenia (a local village nearby, we ate lunch at Hibiscus), and drove to the Mayan ruins- Xunantunich. Special thanks to Gianni- our amazing bartender-he went above and beyond, Jessica the manager- she was so sweet and always asked about our day, and Jair one of our servers. 10 out of 10 recommend The Banks- you will love it!

What a gorgeous gem in such a peaceful environment!! We were thrilled with our stay at The Banks. The staff was so warm and welcoming; excellent service! Everything was so beautiful! We loved our 3-bedroom villa....it was so large and clean. Lovely decor and having our own pool was wonderful! (Something to be award of.. one of the bedrooms has a separate outdoor entrance. It worked out okay for us since our kids are older, but this could be a problem for young families). The only negative in the villa was the furniture. The beds, pillows, couch and chairs were all very firm and uncomfortable. The ambiance at the onsite restaurant was lovely. We loved our breakfasts and desserts, but the dinner left us a little disappointed. I can tell they are trying very hard with their unique menu, but the items we tried just weren't as flavorful as we hoped. We ended up eating our other two dinners at Sleeping Giant which we really enjoyed. Overall I would highly recommend this gorgeous resort.

The room and grounds were absolutely beautiful! The staff seemed new and timid when we tried asking questions or trying to order at the restaurant. At times we felt like they were avoiding us.
