The property is beautifully maintained & perserved. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, & responsive. They supplied alot of opportunities for activities in the area & with discounts. We had our own car & was able to enjoy things outside of the hotel but they are able to fully accommodate those who did not have access.

The lodge was seclusive but had all the basic amenities that you would need. We loved that we were in a jungle environment and woke up with nature everyday.

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.

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.

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.
