I loved everything about this property the rooms were clean and well equipped. The grounds were immaculate and there is a trail you can walk through the jungle. The meals were all as goid as any 5 star restaurant. Their chef could work in the finest restaurants and put everyone to shame. I had 2 massages and again they were amazing. On top of all this their staff are some of the most efficient caring and respectful I have ever come across.

Fantastic place in a jungle setting close to San Ignacio town. Individual cabins private a cozy and private feeling. The staff is very welcoming and work hard for their guests. We stayed in the Peace Apartment that has two bedrooms. It place has a 1950s motel feel - dated and a bit run down. Fiona’s restaurant does a very solid breakfast and dinner. The pool area is nice, but the water temp is chilly in January. Saw toucans and heard howler monkeys on the property. Very affordable, but not fancy.
Filtered water provided!

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. 😐
