Our Vanilla Hills stay exceeded all expectations & we cannot wait to get back!
Located just a few minutes from San Ignacio, it’s a prefect home-base to hit Maya ruins, ATM Cave Tour, Big Rock Waterfalls, etc. Our lovely Tree House was well appointed, beyond clean and had the most AMAZING indoor/outdoor shower!!! One of my trip highlights was showering in a jungle 😊
The onsite restaurant was delicious, and the pool was pristine and morning & evening.
The entire staff was warm, engaging, and happy to help with plan/tour suggestions.
THANK YOU, Claudia, for the “unbelizable” accommodations, cooking and personal touch.
See you again soon! CHEERS, Kara & Guy

wonderful resort with great food and staff. only 2 negatives were I notified the owner that the foliage needs to be trimmed at the entrance to my cabin but it was not done. A big disappointment was that not no Belizean food was on the menu. Travel is to experience different foods and cultures but sadly not in this case.

Tucked outside of town Vanilla Hills was perfect for our family of 6. While most of the accommodations were smaller, our 6 person guesthouse was tucked into the jungle with beautiful views from the balcony. We ate both nights at the Three Senses (sight, smell and taste) restaurant where all of us (ages 7 to 80) were well fed and wonderfully satisfied. The boys loved the pool and the grandparents loved the newly built bar area for their evening espresso. The staff and owners were very attentive and took good care of is, you felt like family. I would highly recommend a stay, much better than a large hotel.

Our stay was AMAZING!! Mark made our visit so personal and warm, he’s the best. The restaurant was delicious and accommodating to my friend’s dietary needs. I would recommend Vanilla Hills over and over again. We stayed in the large villa and had so much space and privacy. The infinity pool was perfect, and there’s a walkable river access we went to as well! There’s tons to see and do on the property as well as nearby. Our stay was perfect. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Great property not far from San Ignacio. Loved our two bedroom villa. Plenty of space and comfortable. The restaurant was excellent for breakfast and dinner with easily the best food we had on the trip and at a fair price. Everyone was personable and the place is very inviting and welcoming. Beautiful infinity pool as well

Our stay was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything top notch. Beautiful grounds and pool area. Comfortable accomodations and great staff. This is a boutique hotel in a quiet and relaxed setting. The culinary offerings for this small hotel were amazing! The chef prepared gourmet meals that were the best of our trip. Truly delicious! I would recommend inquiring about the meal plan for your stay. The owner arranged some great day tours for us to ATM and Caracol. We enjoyed the mornings with lots of bird watching to be had while eating breakfast. You will enjoy staying here!

We had such a great time here. We stayed in the king tree house. It truly was like staying in your dream tree house. Full glass windows let you wake up and see the trees and wildlife first thing. The outdoor shower was very relaxing and private. Claudia was so gracious and had lots of suggestions for the best things to do. She booked our tour of the ATM and we had such a knowledgeable and fun guide named Patrick. The food at the restaurant was very good and servings were very generous. You can watch the birds and wildlife feed as you eat. The pool is also very nice. Another nice thing they do for you is put everything on your bill at the end so you only have one transaction fee. I highly recommend a visit here!

A very beautiful place, nested in a tropical forest full of birds (and squirrels). The restaurant is good and the staff is nice and helpful. The chalets are large and comfortable. The swimming pool is pleasant.

A stay at Vanilla Hills Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. Right from the beginning, the communication with Claudia was smooth and easy, setting the tone for a welcoming experience. The organization, professionalism, and warm greeting upon arrival by the staff made us feel truly valued. The excellent hotel boasts a prime location. The cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The property's beauty and relaxing atmosphere were complemented by the outdoor dining room, offering a picturesque backdrop for delicious meals and birdwatching. The pool, overlooking the hills, provided a delightful space for both relaxation and fun. Our spacious room in the trees was beyond gorgeous and provided such an amazing retreat with fantastic views. The daily towel animal creations by housekeeping added a fun touch to our stay. The hospitality at Vanilla Hills Lodge is truly outstanding. Claudia and the team were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They went above and beyond by organizing all our transportation needs and two fabulous excursions to Tikal and the ATM cave. The staff added a personal touch to our trip by checking on us often and providing valuable advice on other local attractions, restaurants, and amenities. The overall experience was a true testament to the dedication of Claudia and the staff to providing exceptional hospitality. We highly recommend Vanilla Hills Lodge. Thank you to Claudia and the entire staff!

We had a wonderful stay at Vanilla Hills with our 4 children. We stayed at the villa. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us. The property was gorgeous with opportunities to see wildlife each morning, including Toucans and Coatis. We loved swimming in the pool and sitting on our porch. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant each day and the food was amazing and fairly priced! They had plenty of vegetarian options. All the staff at Vanilla Hilla were so kind and accommodating and willing to answer questions. We felt very comfortable and welcomed here. This place is really special!

We loved everything about Vanilla Hills, the treehouse was awesome the food was delicious and the staff is great. The activities we booked with their help were fantastic. The crystal cave tour with Sisco and the day trip to Tikal exceeded expectations. The whole experience was the best part of our vacation and we visited 4 other places none were as memorable as Vanilla Hills and San Ignacio.

We had an amazing time staying at Vanilla Hills Lodge. The owners were very nice and helpful, as well as all of the staff we encountered.
We loved seeing all of the wildlife while eating breakfast and dinner on site. The easy access to town was very nice too, so we were able to do some shopping and eating out too.
We were able to book an outing through the site and also go out on our own with our car rental.
I highly recommend staying here. We absolutely loved it!
