We had a long travel day and arrived late. Sheila and Rusty were outside waiting for us when we arrived. Sheila had on her apron and dinner was waiting. How wonderful. We felt like family and the food was absolutely terrific. Sheila and Rusty Nale are terrific hosts. Sheila is a fabulous cook and Rusty is social and friendly and made us feel like we were at home. Even his jokes are funny! The rooms are clean, well-decorated and welcoming. The upstairs dining area is screened in with a view of the jungle. We loved the Tranquility Lodge and the surrounding jungle - complete with a swimming hole! We recommend the Tranquility Lodge.

We were there for 3 days and it was such a great experience. Everything was perfect including the room, the service, the great food (Sheila is a fantastic cook), the river, the jungle, the butterflies and, specially, the owners, Sheila and Rusty. We want to go back there !!! If you go in southern Belize, YOU MUST GO THERE!!!
5 out of 5Absolutely Wonderful

Sheila and Rusty provided an amazing place for our service group to relax after long days of service work. The food was absolutely delicious (our group loved food a little bit too much). I would recommend Tranquility Lodge to everyone! Amazing!

A co-worker and I found Tranquility Lodge by "accident" on a scouting trip for an international service trip for university students. This was the best accident we ever made. Sheila and Rusty were amazing to work with and set up trip arrangements---their knowledge of the area helped us set up a great trip. Their extreme generosity while we were staying with them made us never want to leave! The meals were better than great (and we had big appetites after doing service all day!) and the rooms were perfect for our group (they even fed our coffee addictions!) This is a great spot for groups! We were able to reserve the whole lodge and the great room upstairs was ideal for meetings and daily debreifs. The swimming hole is a great place to cool off and the lodge is at a perfect location to get to PG, Mayan ruines, and other villages in towns in Toledo.

Rusty and Sheila Nale have definitely figured out the way to run a B&B! Their hospitality, friendliness and helpfulness far exceeded our expectations. The rooms in this jungle setting are very well appointed and clean. The furnishings are unique and lovely. The meals prepared by Sheila, Rusty and their staff were a definite surprise -- as good as, if not better than, any meal served at 5-Star hotels in the States. We would highly recommend the Tranquility Lodge to anyone wanting a comfy room and a fantastic meal in an absolutely beautiful setting. Tami and Chuck Swanson Ogden, Utah
4.8 out of 5April at Tranquility Lodge

What a lovely stay we had at Tranquility Lodge in April -- having learned I am a birder, Sheila and Rusty arranged for Agapito, an excellent local birder, to not only go birding around the lodge itself but also to lead tours to local sites including Mayan ruins and an organic cacao farm, birding along the way. This was such an easy and pleasant trip; both room and food were very good. I hope to return someday soon and recommend this lodge enthusiastically, especially to birders.
5 out of 5I want to return !!
April 08, 2010
I thoroughly enjoyed my too brief of a stay with Shelia and Rusty at the Tranquility Inn. Their previous experience (decades as hotel and inn managers in Belize) is obvious – they are most gracious hosts. The Inn is well managed, clean, and is all one needs to relax and enjoy the nature and culture of the area. The surrounding grounds are lush in tropical plants and teeming with a plethora of birds. (A high point was seeing Belize’s national bird – the colorful Keel-Billed Toucan my last morning there.) Shelia prepared great meals, enough so that I asked for seconds, which she gladly served. They recommended tours (Mayan ruins, Cacao Trail, caving, snorkeling, diving) – there is something for everyone. I hope to return; next time I will spend more time in this corner of paradise!
5 out of 5Beautiful and birds too!
February 12, 2010
We spent part of the first week of February 2010 at Tranquility Lodge near Punta Gorda. The lodge itself is a great place for birding, and the hosts Sheila and Rusty are extremely helpful in locating and identifying birds and orchids. The accommodations were excellent and clean; the food was delicious. We felt quite at home and were able to do day excursions from here. Sheila and Rusty were able to recommend guides, birding spots, restaurants in Punta Gorda, and other good places to stay in the north. We will be going back!
