Crooked Tree is a town in Belize District, Belize.
Sits about 50 feet (15 m) from the lagoon. The lagoon gets a lot closer if it rains so be sure and park well away from the water's edge. Rates are reasonable at US$40-$80. The rooms are clean but a bit spartan. Air-con is not in all rooms and the heat and humidity can be a bit much if you are not used to sleeping without it in the tropics. The staff are very friendly. There are signs pointing you to the Lodge and everyone in the village knows the location anyways. The roads to the lodge are poor, at best, and any heavy rain will render them impassable to anything less than a 4WD. Even then, typical rental cars like the Suzuki Grand Vitara have got stuck in the roads. The Lodge takes all major credit cards.
Crooked Tree is about halfway between Belize City and Orange Walk on the Northern Highway. The exit is well marked. You will leave the surfaced road for the packed dirt road of the causeway that leads to the village.
Read in the guideThe roads in the village are sandy and hard to drive in good conditions and awful in heavy rain, which is not uncommon.
