I loved everything about this property the rooms were clean and well equipped. The grounds were immaculate and there is a trail you can walk through the jungle. The meals were all as goid as any 5 star restaurant. Their chef could work in the finest restaurants and put everyone to shame. I had 2 massages and again they were amazing. On top of all this their staff are some of the most efficient caring and respectful I have ever come across.

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!

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.

Quiet Gem with Room for Improvement

Here's my 4-star review of Maya Mountain Lodge in San Ignacio, Belize: I'm torn 'cause the spot's got prime location vibes – super quiet and close to nature. But, cleanliness was a bit off; sheets weren't exactly fresh-smelling, which threw off the whole experience. Plus, kitchen service was shut down, and that wasn't mentioned upfront in the listing. If they're gonna fix those kinks, this place could easily hit 5 stars. For now, it's solid 4 stars if you're looking for peace and don't mind some trade-offs. 😐
