Great Service
If you stay here, have then arrange your tours. I used another service that wouldn't pick me up at the hotel. However, they called and got them changed for me. They provided excellent service. The hotel is outside of town so if you are looking for a quiet place located in the trees then I would highly recommend it.

Our family of four stayed in the family house and absolutely loved it. The staff was so friendly and attentive to our needs. The place was clean and the air conditioning was cool and there was space for all of us. We loved how they let us eat any fruit we found on the trees and on the surroundings. We found a coconut and they cracked it open for us too. It was so close to the town of San Ignacio as well. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute and quiet place in the jungle with the most friendly staff

Peaceful little cabin in the jungle. There was an option for breakfast and dinner. There was a trail around the property, which was a nice little 25 minute hike in the jungle. Staff were friendly.

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 !

The property is beautifully maintained and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. It's a little farther out of the "city centre" but taxis are easy and cheap. The rooms were very clean, excellent water pressure, pool was clean and the onsite meals were delicious and authentic. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful resort and great service; it was truly enjoyable. Jina, Levi and Cesar were great, as well as Tio and his wife at the restaurant. Thanks! There was an error with our reservation through the third party, but they were quick to fix it with no issues. Also, they assisted us and booked a tour for one day to Flores, Guatemala that went exceptionally well. Totally recommend this resort when you’re in the area! Cheers and thanks again for hosting us.

This property is absolutely beautiful! With its lush jungle foliage and hiking Trail, it was very peaceful and tranquil. The small restaurant on site only offers breakfast and dinner, but their food was very good. The staff was fabulous. Just a 10 minute walk into town. I would definitely go back and recommend this property to my friends.

This is a solid 3 star property. It is outside of town and the restaurant only serves if you order ahead. If you are traveling solo, they will not open the kitchen to serve just one , which is a bummer because there isn't anything close by. However, people were very kind and super helpful. The property is delightful. Just remember it is a 3 star.

The staff were excellent! Loved eating at the property restaurant. It's fun by a lovely local couple. The property is beautiful! I would have liked a little cleaner and more updated experience. There was a large hole in one towel, and a washcloth looked discolored. Being in the jungle meant lots of cobwebs on the screens and in hard to reach areas. Lots of handles on windows were missing knobs. The refrigerator smelled a bit as it is turned off when not in use. The pool was great! I would stay here again!

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! Thanks again to the team for making the stay so great, Sophie
