We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. What a unique experience! The food offered at the restaurant on site was not that good and very pricey. However the host did help us order from a local restaurant using delivery that was very good.

We had a really nice stay at Maya Mountain Lodge! The grounds are absolutely beautiful with so many plants, and the pool was much needed after being out exploring in the heat all day. Fiona’s Cafe had good food at reasonable prices. The staff was very friendly and helped us book taxis to and from town. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay in nature, but not too far from town!

Property is idealy located next to Santa Elena and San Ignacio for easy access to all shopping and business needs. I do believe the pool area needs an upgrade, it's fine but time for a re- decking and more modern pool.

All of the staff go above, and beyond their duties, to ensure that the guests have the best experience. I enjoyed walking around the property. I took the plant and edibles tour on the property. The food in the restaurant is very good. It’s definitely worth staying there, for the experience.

Gorgeous property. Amazing people. Great communication. Good location.
Because if the construct of the rooms, they are not easy to cool. I would definitely stay here again but just know there is wildlife and difficult cooling.
There is a mini fridge, a water dispenser and coffee is provided.
The trail around the property is plus.

What a place!
Absolutely perfect stay. We had the 2 bedroom villa which was gigantic. It comes with a well equipped kitchen and a back terrace that is perfect for breakfast sojourns before getting into the heat of San Ignacio. There is a pool here too, albeit small. The staff are particularly great, and everyone is super polite and helpful. You will need a car to get here, and it’d make sense to rent one anyway as you have to drive in Belize. There is a great walking/hiking trail in the property to get the juices flowing in the morning. All in all this was a super stay.

Lovely property and excellent staff. They were extremely helpful with anything we needed. The rooms/huts were really cute and cozy. We would have liked a bigger bed but that’s the only thing I’d change.

Amazing spot close to town but far enough into the jungle to have a quiet getaway. Cesar helped us start to finish and ensured we had an amazing stay. The restaurant on site was fantastic and highly recommended. Really can’t recommend this place enough, if I’m ever back in this area of Belize, I will not hesitate to stay here again.

Tranquil little paradise in the nature! Loved the grounds and the authentic style of the rooms. Room was beautifully prepared with flower petal decoration on the bed & bathroom. Nice pool area to relax and 40 min nature trail through the trees although we didn’t see any tucans unfortunately. Shower pressure great - the best we had in Belize! Ate dinner and breakfast in the onsite restaurant - both delicious but a little on the pricey side. Turned up for breakfast one morning without pre-reserving/ordering and all worked out fine. Had a scorpion in the room one night but all part of the nature experience! Location is a short drive from the centre but far enough to feel totally in the nature. Highly recommend!
