There's a new lodge in Cayo named after the Sleeping Giant.  Obviously, they are located on the Hummingbird Highway.  Their picture gallery has some beautiful shots in it. 

 

"Nestled into the foothills of the Sibun National Forest Reserve in Central Belize, Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge is surrounded by over a hundred thousand acres of untouched wilderness. It is an ideal retreat for nature lovers wishing to experience the sounds and sights of a tropical rainforest in a tranquil, undisturbed atmosphere."
