    Beautiful and peaceful retreat at Vanilla Hills Resort outside San Ignacio!
    Vanilla Hills Resort was an outstanding place to stay in the hills just a few miles outside of San Ignacio!! From our initial contact with the resort until the day we left we had nothing but a wonderful experience there. Claudia and her husband have created a magical retreat in the forest and have paid attention to every last detail from the gorgeous and comfortable treehouses to the amazing food served in the beautiful open air dining area! We slept well every night and were awakened by birdsong in our private treehouse before walking down to a wonderful breakfast each morning and being entertained by the tropical birds and coatimundis eating the fruit in the trees. The pool area was just gorgeous and we spent a couple of lazy afternoons relaxing there and watching the monkeys play in the trees. The 3 Senses bar is also visually stunning and had fabulous cocktails! Claudia and staff (especially Reina) arranged our amazing tours to Tikal, Xuanatunich and Barton Creek canoeing with wonderful guides as well as rides into San Ignacio whenever we needed. Our pickup from Belize City airport and return to the ferry was comfortable and smooth as well with entertaining and informative drivers. We could not have picked a better place to stay in the San Ignacio area and will definitely be returning to this paradise in the future!

    Loved our stay in the jungle
    Jungle gem. Beautiful property and wonderful restaurant (we especially loved the breakfast). We stayed in the villa with our two toddlers which was great. We saw several iguanas and howler monkeys! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Would stay here again.
    Ongoing construction of new rooms close to ours made the villa feel a bit less private or secluded. But this is temporary.

    We had a nice stay.
    NIce unit in the middle of the jungle! Beautiful surroundings, friendly owner who assisted with arranging tours, transportation, etc.
    It's a bit remote. Cannot walk to the center of town, which is a 10 minute taxi ride.

    Beautiful but expensive
    Really nice surroundings (jungle) and facilities (the pool is amazing). The room designed like a tree house is really nice, quiet and comfortable. A lot of amazing wildlife around (birds, nose bears, monkeys…). All the staff was super friendly.
    It’s really expensive when you add activities, transfer and food. Even if it is nice, 25USD for a main course is a lot in this region. The restaurant could serve local food, and more affordable options for the dinner. As the hotel is not in town, it’s difficult to eat somewhere else.

    Vanilla Hills is a beautiful, comfortable, oasis in the jungle!
    Vanilla Hills is like a little private jungle oasis. There are only a few cabins, so it is very quiet (besides the howler monkeys) and not overrun with people. I liked that you got your own private cabin. The restaurant, bar, and pool area were beautifully designed, and completely surrounded by plants and exotic wildlife. The food was absolutely phenomenal, and the staff were extremely polite, helpful, and accommodating. They were all very personable and made an effort to actually talk to us, which made us feel very welcome.
    We stayed in the Orchid cabin, and although there was AC in the bedrooms, there was not AC in the main living space or bathroom. It was very hot and unpleasant to take a shower or try to relax in that part of the cabin. If they would add another AC unit in the main living space, it would have been perfect!

    The surroundings were magnificent. Every property is so private. The jungle was teaming with animal life. The staff were
    In the middle of the jungle and it’s so private
    Ants! But what can you do? You’re in the jungle.
