Very nice lodge, especially all info about trees and other species. We loved the fire pit and the candles they lit every evening. The rooms are basic and thin walls. The resturant was ok, the breakfast menu was great with a lot of options. Definitely stay here again for a few days. Its 2 km from town, so a car is recommended.

Our stay at Maya Mtn Lodge was great. It was a quaint little place in the jungle. Our room was clean and quiet. The staff was super nice and helpful. The restaurant staff were lovely, and the food was excellent. I did a birdwatching tour one morning, which was great. We saw many different types of birds that I had never seen in the wild before. We had a large shared covered deck area outside our room, which was a really peaceful area to hang out.

We loved our stay at The Maya Mountain Lodge. Though the rooms are not glamorous, the location was great and the staff absolutely outstanding. Every single staff member was attentive to our needs. They made our planning effortless by arranging everything for us. They greeted us with smiles and were knowledgeable of local flora and fauna and enjoyed sharing their knowledge with us. We will be repeat customers wirhout a doubt.

Rooms are a bit older but very clean. Beds not the most comfortable but otherwise no complaints. The staff, especially Levi, really went out of their way to ensure our stay was excellent. We had an issue with a tour not showing up (due to vehicle issue) and Levi was very responsive and helpful!

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.

The property is beautifully maintained & perserved. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, & responsive. They supplied alot of opportunities for activities in the area & with discounts. We had our own car & was able to enjoy things outside of the hotel but they are able to fully accommodate those who did not have access.

We had a really nice stay at Maya Mountain Lodge! The grounds are absolutely beautiful with so many plants, and the pool was much needed after being out exploring in the heat all day. Fiona’s Cafe had good food at reasonable prices. The staff was very friendly and helped us book taxis to and from town. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay in nature, but not too far from town!
