The property is on the verge of being good or great in their uniqueness. Plenty of dining, pools are great, tour setups are perfect, but the service (other than front desk) was very poor. Like we were an inconvenience to them. Food was bland and the substitute they gave me was ill cooked and made me sick. The room was meh, with a TV that turned on at random, a fan that was noisy and the bathroom that had broken tiles and a window that wasn’t covered all the way…in the shower. Just so close to great…

It is a beautiful setting on top of the hill above town. So walking to it was challenging but fun for me. Staff were awesome. If you are a light sleeper don’t get a room above the bar and restaurant. Comfy room. Warm water runs out in the afternoon but when it’s hot out it feels great to take a cool shower.

This is a nice, budget resort in San Ignacio! The on site amenities were great, a couple of food options and a bar. It is close to town, although located on a pretty steep hill. We stayed in the standalone bungalow rooms, which were very fun and novel with one drawback: because of the thatched roofs, lizards could easily get into the rooms and they would leave excrement (that has a not pleasant odor). Staff cleaned the rooms daily, but the smell would linger. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but something to consider before booking. Overall, a fine property.

The staff was excellent always trying their best to make your stay enjoyable. Food was good and atmosphere terrific. It should be said that you are on the top of a mountain so if you walk from the resort be prepared to walk back up a steep hill. The views are amazing. Overall I would stay there again.

This place was great (definitely not your typical hotel!) and I’d totally come back. Food, service, uniqueness, cleanliness all 5 stars. The food was more expensive than I thought it would be and the bed in our cabana was not comfortable (it dipped in the middle). Hot water was a little sketchy, but all in all a very cute place with very helpful staff. We’d come back for sure.

We stayed in one of the cabins. Bed was severely dipped in the middle, no where to put clothes, no hangers etc. one day with no hot water. Facility is very clean, staff are excellent, food is very good. Bar makes outstanding drinks. Staff very helpful getting transportation etc. pools are very clean.

Amazing views and staff
We’ve stayed here before, and will do so again! We love views and set up of the resort, had several great meals at the restaurant. Power went out the first night but was resolved quickly with great communication.

Amazing views from the top of San Ignacio!!
From our first contact with the hotel they were very helpful and accommodating. They arranged all the transfers we needed to get there and then to get to our next destination in Belize as well. They also arranged for 2 tours: cave tubing and the Xunantunich archeological site. Both tours were fantastic with excellent guides. There is a restaurant, a sushi bar and a coffee shop at the hotel which is very nice because it sits on the highest point in San Ignacio and there is not much else in the immediate area. It is a quick and easy cab ride (or you can walk) into town. There are amazing views from the hotel which sports multiple (unheated) pools that have a quirky mini golf vibe with a big pterodactyl fountain, which sadly was not turned on while we were there. I would suggest adding the breakfast buffet to reservation as it is a tasty and convenient option. We would definitely stay here again if we ever some back to San Ignacio.

Absolutely gorgeous view at the top of the hill overlooking the town. I love hanging out in the covered porch/lanai not having to worry about mosquitoes. The walk to the town is easy, but going back up can be difficult for those not physically fit since it's a steep road going up. We didn't mind since we love walking everywhere. You can get a taxi for about U$D5 I would definitely stay there again.

Magnificent View
I enjoyed the area. I stayed in a standard but would have up graded had I known about the different room types available. I would stay at this hotel again in the future but choose an up grade in room. The view from my room was magnificent.

I can’t believe this hasn’t been mentioned many times. Sound travels up the hill. There is a nightclub at the bottom of the hill that is incredibly loud. I stayed in a cabana & I was basically in the club. I could hear bangers (until 3am) Saturday then word for word karaoke Sunday night. Even with earplugs in, you will not sleep. Engines fire up when the casino & club close, then the dogs start (3a-4a). The cabana is cute with a great view from the hammock though.. There is a net over the bed to catch gecko poo, which is a nice touch. You’ll need to ask for a blanket as there’s only a sheet on the bed. The staff was very friendly. The walk into town is not terrible but as other reviewers mentioned, it’s a hike up the hill. A taxi is only $5USD though if you don’t want to trek up. I recommend eating meals elsewhere. (The pasta sauce was inedible to me. It was so sweet. They did graciously provide me with a different sauce upon request.) The cafe has good coffee. All hotel restaurants are expensive. Eat street food if you want good, cheap food.

Hotel perched on top of a hill overlooking San Ignacio. Comfortable cabins with air conditioning and hot water showers. Excellent food options at the restaurant. 40 minute walk to downtown, but given the location will be uphill walk when returning to the hotel.

This hotel, on the top of the hill, offers splendid views of the surrounding area, and it is only a very short walk from the Cahal Pech Mayan ruins. Well worth a visit.

The staff is amazing and the tours are always great. We like that they offer so many tours and when you get back exhausted the Bar is open with great drinks. The bungalow was not as clean as our room last year and the ac had a hard time keeping up with the extreme heat in July.

Sad to say, but we were given a Cabana at the end of the property. No internet, no working TV, old beds, no hot water, very little water pressure, and very old air conditioner (didn’t cool the room very well). The staff was very friendly and nice and moved us to another room…but did not have another Cabana to move us to. The new room was nice, but did not have the screened in area with a hammock we were looking forward to. It was also 1/3 the size. My daughter had stayed at one of the Cabana’s near the pool before and loved it! But beware, the one at the very end of the property is not nice at all!

This place was so much better than we even expected. We just needed a place to stay in the inland area while we did a few excursions, but we ended up loving the hotel as much as any of it! The pools were lovely, the food at the restaurant was AMAZING, the staff was wonderful and very helpful. Loved our enclosed porch with the hammock too!

Food in the restaurant was excellent! Staff was friendly and accommodating. Cabanas were clean and attached screened sitting area was nice. Some of the cabanas were quite a walk from the main area. Normally not a problem, but on a side hill. Anyone with even minor physical limitations will not want to be in the cabanas at the bottom of the hill.

We enjoyed our stay here! Our cabana was great and we loved the hammock on the deck. The pool was great and the food in the restaurant was really good! The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Nice location and great view! The only thing that concerned us is that there were so many falling coconuts in the trees outside our room. Otherwise a great place to stay and we would definitely recommend it!
