The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was great. The property's jungle setting and landscaping made me feel like I was in a jungle. And while not a nightly occurrence, having howler monkeys howling the first evening really set the tone to remind me I wasn't in California. A special callout to the staff at Fiona's restaurant, the food was great, but talking with the staff there was super fun. I would recommend Maya Mountain Lodge to anyone and everyone.

Warning: This place will cause you to forget all your worries and relax in nature!

What a fabulous place to lay your head for a few nights. Nestled amongst the jungle and mountainous terrain is Maya Mt Lodge. There are hiking trails that head down to the river, definitely explore these. The pool is a welcome relief after a hot day of exploring nearby archaeological sites or exploring the town. You hear the birds and cicadas constantly and it feels like you are in the jungle. The cabins are spread out enough to feel private but also there are enough rooms in each cabin to have chats with fellow travellers.

The staff here are amazing. Cesar at the front desk is an absolute legend! He is knowledgeable and helpful and can book just about anything you need - tours, transport, dinners, you name it he can do it! I'm sure if you asked him to book you a skywriting lesson, he would be able to do that!

Julie (and Rey) in the restaurant were so accommodating, cooking me delicious vegan food on request, definitely check out the on-site restaurant!

It is walkable to the town (about 30-40mins depending on the heat and your love of uphill streets!) or you can grab a taxi.

I'm really glad I chose to stay here and not in the hustle and bustle of the town (even though it is a bit of a walk/taxi to get into town there's not actually that much there), and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Bring a good book and just enjoy all that Maya Mountain Lodge has to offer!

The resort is in a delightful location. The location makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle. Laying in bed listening to Tucans calling was amazing.
The pool is amidst trees with lots of local birds, including tucans flying overtop.
A nice hiking trail on the resort.
Close to all the local activities with pick up at the hotel.
The cabins are privately located apart from each other and the kitchen amenities allow you to cook in the room if you’d like to. The restaurant has a great menu and the food is amazing!!!
Highly recommend to solo or families travelling in this area

Our stay at The Maya Mountain Lodge was absolutely wonderful. The place is very cozy, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful nature — exactly what we were looking for.

The staff are extremely kind and helpful, and a special thanks goes to Cesar, who truly went above and beyond. We had unexpected difficulties at the Guatemala–Belize border and arrived very late, around 10:30 pm, but Cesar was still there waiting for us with a smile and made sure we felt welcome and taken care of. That meant a lot after such a stressful travel day.

The restaurant food is delicious, easily one of the highlights of our stay. We also loved that the lodge offers several activities, including cooking classes.

The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean, providing great rest after full days of exploring.

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. 😐

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.

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!

Our jungle oasis

The Maya Mountain Lodge was our jungle oasis. It is a two minute drive from Santa Elena and less than 10 minutes from San ignacio.
We stayed in Agouti which had a good sized bedroom with a 2 person table, bathroom and a kitchen in the porch area. The kitchen was set up with a microwave , toaster, fridge, coffee maker, kettle, gas stove, and oven. We cooked several meals there which is always a welcome change from eating out all the time. We also had our own outdoor area with a picnic table and hammock.
The grounds were a tropical arboretum with a lovely variety of plantings. We paid a nominal fee for a bird walk around the property. Levi helped us see 24 species including stunners like the collared aracari and the keel billed Toucan.
The staff was very helpful helping us schedule outings, do our laundry ($10 USD) or recommend a pizza place.
The pool area seemed fine but needed better seating.
One night a concert in town was so loud that it kept us up until 3 AM - not the Lodge's fault exactly. Otherwise it was very quiet and restful.

Welcome to the Garden of Eden! This jungle lodge felt so lush and the grounds were absolutely relaxing and peaceful. Definitely an oasis. The shared patios, decks, and pool area were a highlight with gorgeous surroundings, bird sounds, and hammocks galore. Cesar was amazing in helping me book tours weeks before our trip, and coordinating shuttles, airport transfers, taxis, and pretty much everything we could have desired--our own travel agent with such quick response times! So grateful for him! Even when one of our tours was cancelled last minute due to a ferry malfunction, Cesar coordinated an impromptu cooking class that ended up being of of my favorite parts of the trip. Our only complaint was that the beds were quite hard, but otherwise, a perfect place!

Wonderful Lodge, Lovely People

This lodge was amazing, the room was clean and big, the whole site was gorgeous with so many huge plants and trees! There is also a small hike you can do around the lodge. The pool is great and the set up around it is really peaceful.

The staff is really nice and so helpful. They gave us a map to walk downtown, which is 15-20 mins by foot. We were 3 girls and never got worried about walking around. We took a cab to come back to the lodge at night since it’s on top of a hill and it gets dark at 6:30 there. The taxi fare was pretty cheap, around 10-15 BZE (you need to ask the driver for the price and negotiate before you get in the taxi).

Also the clerk at the front desk of the lodge booked all the activities we did during our stay. The company they suggested was very good. We did Actun Tunichill on the first day, Xunantunich and Nohoch Che’en (highlight of our trip) on the second day and Caracol with the Rio pools on our last day.

The lodge also has a cute little restaurant that is managed by a separate group of employees. You can book the restaurant with the reception and choose your meal in advance so when you get to your table it’s almost ready and you don’t have to wait. This was very useful especially on the mornings when we had to leave early for our daily activities.

We really enjoyed exploring San Ignacio, but it was also great to have a cool place to hang after our day. Would 100% recommend The Maya Mountains Lodge !

We loved our stay at Maya mountain. The staff were so kind and could not do enough for us- they booked all our trips and transport with local taxi/ tour companies, they even arranged a night tour in the property’s grounds so we could see owls and other nocturnal time animals.

The room was perfect, great AC and a well stocked kitchen (coffee, tea, oil, salt, pepper, etc) so no need to buy anything other than food itself which was great.

We loved eating at the restaurant on-site for breakfast and dinner. The couple who ran it were so friendly and the food was delicious.

Finally, we loved the pool area and the fire area, it was touches like this that made the stay really amazing. Being able to sit out and enjoy being in the jungle and also cool off in a lovely pool. Also a great area to bird watch so bring your binoculars!

Getting the shower temperature regulated was a bit tricky, but having a screened in kitchen was nice. We also used the clothesline to dry our clothes after the ATM cave experience. It's very peaceful and we met a few other guests having dinner or breakfast there. We were able to bring our own wine since the dinner is catered in.

I can't say enough great things about Maya Mountain Lodge!! Levi and Jina took wonderful care of us the whole time. Tio and his family in the kitchen took care of our bellies the whole time :D

The rooms are basic but they go above and beyond to make them comfortable and special! The cleaners even put flowers in the bathroom each day. The pool area is lovely, I LOVE that they have yoga mats and blocks available to use whenever. The hiking trail was lovely (though calling it a hike is a bit of a stretch, was more like a 20 minute loop).

The location is great, especially if you have a car to get into town. Otherwise you can easily arrange a taxi for about $10USD (20 Belize) each way.

This place is SO affordable for what you get (honestly Jina, I think you can raise the prices a little LOL)! It felt like a family and we felt so welcome in Cayo. Can't recommend any more! Thank you again Levi and Gina for everything!!

Maya Mountain Lodge is set in dense forest with many beautiful tropical plants labelled for the enjoyment of guests. Staff are always available, friendly and helpful. The home-style cooking prepared by the lovely family that serves breakfast and and dinner at the resturant is excellent. We hope to return one day!

There are many things to like about Maya Mountain. Everyone that works there is extremely kind, responsive and helpful. The rooms are old but spacious, clean and bug free. Set just outside of San Ignacio, all the amazing activities present in the area are very close. Xunantunich, Cahal Peche, Barton Creek, ATM Cave, Oxmul Coffee Farm, 2 Butterfly farms, Rio Frio, The Market in San Ignacio, iguana and bird sanctuaries.

\"Huts\" located in the jungle with a modest but very clean and comfortable pool. We were treated like family. Kudos to Levi the manager.

The onsite restaurant, Tios Mayan Restaurant, is very special. This husband and wife team are really great. They went way out of there way to take care of us. Ask about things they can offer that are not on the menu.

Ok, the queen size bed is smaller than I like so I have to mention that. Internet, AC, hot water, maid service are all great.

Cannot think of a place we've stayed where we were treated better.

What a find! This place was perfect. We had the absolute best time, the staff were bar none! Jina was so helpful. Tio and his wife made the most amazing and healthy meals. I would recommend to stay here and experience the jungle. We love Belize!

We loved our stay. Staff were amazing and super helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Our room had a kitchen which was great to keep food for breakfast and snacks for the day plus for buying dinner from the market and reheating it later. We actually had to ask them not to come and clean because they were so diligent!!
The grounds and plants were beautiful. Lots of bird watching - even from the pool where we even saw a toucan!!
Awesome, we loved it. Can’t wait to come back and bring more of our family.

Amazing Stay

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the lodge and will definitely plan on coming back! The property is gorgeous and guests have access to a hiking trail, massage, and an onsite restaurant. The cabin was well stocked and comfortable and Levi at the reception area went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, answer our questions and even drew us maps to local areas that we wanted to visit!

We stayed in the Toucan for 10 nights this June. We loved the staff! Levi brought us gifts of coconut and peanuts from his farm, and Mangos from the gardens. Every day the room was cleaned, fresh flowers in vases, and Emma made us a flower arrangements on the bed and fancy towel folds! We stayed at Marriott and Hilton and were never spoiled like this! The grounds are like a botanical jungle garden with birds everywhere. Be sure to try the restaurant. Tio and Francelia are great cooks and you can't beat the price. Breakfast and dinner Belizean style! 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely LOVED our stay here. The apartment cabin we rented was totally comfortable and well equipped with anything we could need. It was great having a little kitchen to use during our stay, and the porch & hammock were very relaxing. The property is so lush & beautiful with all kinds of flowering & fruit trees (free mangoes dropping daily!), & beautiful (quite chatty) birds everywhere. We were visited by hummingbirds every morning porch-side. The pool was clean and refreshing amid the high temps during the time we visited. Their hiking trail was perfect for a morning route. We only ate at the onsite cafe once, but it was delicious! The chef & his wife were so friendly. The star of this place is definitely the host who resides there, Levi. He went out of his way to help us get our bearings with transportation (incl bus & taxis), plan/arrange activities, suggest nearby restaurants, & even picked us ripe coconuts when my husband said he wanted to try one! I was really happy here and would love to return again before long. thank you!
