The beauty of this hotel is only eclipsed by the hospitality. The staff here are amazing. Every person went out of their way to be helpful, friendly and engaging. 10/10!

We have nothing but good things to say about Gaia. This place was incredible! My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there and the staff did everything possible to make sure it went great. Every single person there went above and beyond. Incredibly genuine. I can't recommend this place enough! Special shout out to Freddie (I hope I spelled his name right). Super attentive. Made sure we had an awesome dinner every night.

beautiful grounds next to a Nature trail and leaving down to a “beach” on the waterfalls

Gaia was INCREDIBLE. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are beautiful, the scenery is stunning, and yet the best part is the fantastic service. We felt like friends with Freddy and Javier by the time we left. Greg was also a wonderful tour guide. And Colby helped us decide on and book adventures. They all made us feel right at home! un fact, they didn’t let us check in until we’d had a welcome drink and sat down for a lovely candlelit dinner. And speaking of the restaurant - the food and drinks on the property are really great which is good because unless you have 4WD you’re unlikely to be going elsewhere to eat. Expect to pay American prices for food and drinks but it’s worth it as almost all (if not all) the food is grown right there on the property - everything’s incredibly fresh and delicious. My favorite part was lounging down by the waterfall or sitting on our balcony overlooking it, listening to the sounds of the jungle.

Gaia is a very beautiful place. The property is so serene and was very grounding. The nature and wildlife is amazing and they do an excellent job to keep guests comfortable even though you are nearly in the rainforest. The staff and service were top notch and staff made sure we were comfortable and felt special. Definitely reccomend

Beautiful setting on the river with nice cabanas, tram down to the river level “beach” area. The staff was amazing-all of them

We spent three days at Gaia, a beautiful, small lodge nestled in the hills above San Ignacio. The room was beautiful and looked out over the waterfalls, the sounds of which lulled us to sleep. Dinner and drinks in the main lodge were excellent. We also went on an Intro to Birding tour in the morning, saw toucans and other birds and went on the tour of the garden which supplies fruits and veg to Gaia and to its sister resort in San Pedro. You can hike along the nature paths and walk down to the waterfall and chill out there (and take the funicular back up!). I was a bit worried that we were too far out of San Ignacio for first time visitors who were going to be out and about doing things like the ATM cave tour and visiting ruins, but the road is now almost entirely paved (only the last 10 mins are off road, and that section is graded). Gaia is better suited to those who want a few days in a beautiful luxury setting away from it all. But with our own rental car, we had the best of both worlds and left feeling refreshed by the greenery and water, the beauty of Gaia, and uniformly fantastic people who work there.

Great property, exceptional staff in every position, great food and convenient location for area day trips. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Five stars
