In Mayan, Chan Chich means "little bird".  Located within a 250,000 acre private reserve, Chan Chich Lodge is bordered to the north by another 262,000 acres of protected lands managed by Programme for Belize.

There are just 12 thatched-roof cabanas. Each cabana is fully screened and has two queen-size beds, ceiling fan, private bath with hot and cold water, 24-hour electricity and a wrap-around veranda complete with hammocks. The cabana is beautifully finished inside with local exotic woods.

The cabanas surround two main buildings   that contain the reception desk, the :Looters Trench" well stocked bar, the dining room specializing in international and local cuisine, small library and a gift shop highlighting local crafts.
