Our stay was really lovely. Rose and the other ladies made us delicious breakfast and dinner - the best that we had in Belize. The property was comfortable and conveniently located. It felt very safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
It was a beautiful and serene location
The staff/owners were amazingly friendly and helpful.
We received a tour of the properties Orchard which was fantastic.
We had a firepit and a BBQ at a disposal.
I would highly recommend this location
We stayed at their family villa. The house was clean, and it was a wonderful experience. Rose and her son Rodale were so kind and helpful. Rod showed us around the family land and the farm, and we drank fresh coconut water. We ate local foods prepared in a lovely setting on the property. We hope to be back some day. If you come, don't miss the ATM cave tour - amazing adventure!
I’m glad I chose my stay outside of the center of town. If you have a car and are debating where to stay I would chose this place because it’s so serene. There are 3 small houses on the property and they are all surrounded by trees. The hammocks in the porch were ideal. The breakfast was so good and the eggs I had there were the brightest ( real) eggs I’ve had. You’ll see hummingbirds right outside the restaurant. You can wake up and walk around the garden before you head out to adventures. We also ate in town which is so easy and quick to get to. We drove to monkey falls which is like 3 minutes away off a dirt road which we drove in our regular car . There are no signs to monkey falls but the gps took me there and it’s very beautiful and hidden . We just parked and walked down to it . Hot water was perfect and so are the beds and the staff is very kind. I’m a teacher and needed that peace which I found at this property.
Amazing little get away hidden in the rainforest near charming little town cristo rey! The cabins are clean and cozy and the staff were friendly and very helpful. If you’re looking for a spot off the beaten path while in San Ignacio you will love it!!!
The cabins are perfect just a few minutes drive outside of San Ignacio but feels like in the middle of nowhere. Rose and Rod are awesome hosts helping with booking of last minute tours and any info we needed. The grounds around the cabin are perfect. Thanks for a great stay
Loved the big screened in porch, so relaxing. We were able to cook breakfast before heading out for adventures in the mountain pine ridge and archaeological sites. Close to restaurants for dinner
Monkey Falls was set in a lovely location right in the jungle. It was quiet and relaxing. We were shown around Rod’s farm which was very interesting. The kitchen makes lovely home made food, including breakfast, which we ate every day. Tours can easily be booked from there and they will pick you up. It’s a short taxi ride from town. All in all a nice place to stay if you want to relax and you like jungle and wildlife.
My son and I stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. The staff is very warm and caring and we’re available if we needed anything. All of the food they served was delicious and we loved having a small kitchen to prepare meals when we wanted. The area is beautiful and safe. You probably want a rental car unless you like taking taxis. The hot water is not the hottest but when it’s 90 degrees it did not bother us.
The entire experience from making the reservation, to checking out, was seamless and couldn't have been easier.
The cabin was spotless, spacious and well furnished. The screened porch was perfect! The kitchen was beyond our needs, but very nice.
A great home base for checking out the various attractions in the area.
I would definitely come back to this place again as the perfect jumping off point for a trip into mountain pine ridge ... the staff was friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious and made to order ... 3 thumbs up
I loved this. It is out of town so it is quiet and there is easy parking. It is on the way to Caracol so my tour operator picked me up. The tour operators know where it is and it was super safe.
There is also a kitchen I didn't realize was onsite for guests only and you can pre-order breakfast and dinner.
I recently stayed at The Cabins at Monkey falls in Cayo and had a great time! The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially when I mentioned that the initial bed wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked. They promptly exchanged it for us, and the new bed made a significant difference in our comfort.
Aside from that, the atmosphere was lovely, and we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its excellent service and willingness to ensure guests have a pleasant experience.

If you are coming to San Ignacio, this is the place to stay! I cannot recommend this place enough and will 100% be staying here again when I come back. Great location, food, accommodations, safety, and vibes. Rose and her family are amazing, and she is an incredible chef. She made us all different meal throughout our time and even made breakfast to go on the day we were leaving early for a tour of the ATM caves! Better than any bigger resort or hotel around the area, it felt like we were the only guests there! Such an amazing and special time spent here.
Beautiful property and cabin! Very quiet and relaxing and the food was amazing! Rod and Lori were very accommodating and so nice. I can't wait to go back there. Highly recommended!

We had hoped this place would be more like a jungle lodge but it really was more of a rural neighborhood house on the main thoroughfare. The family cabin seemed a lot more like a blah Airbnb. Wasn't too clean but wasn't disgustingly dirty. Just didn't feel like it was worth the amount we paid or really worth it at all. You could not walk to monkey falls from there. To go anywhere you would need a car, which we had, fortunately. The front door didn't have any bolt. And the A/C only worked in the rooms leaving the shared living space blazing hot even with trying to flood the living space with air from the rooms.
The owner was super nice but this place just wasn't worth it. We stayed in a dumpy cabin at another place in town that turned out to be a better fit for us than this.
We stopped in for one night and absolutely loved this place. It's a not far from shopping and dining, and the owners were great. Would recommend to anyone wanting quite stay not far from town. We will absolutely be visiting the cabins at monkey fall again!

The place was clean, the only issue was the bathroom Toilet was leaking so there was a pee pee smell in the bathroom
When we arrived Expedia hadn't sent my information to the Cabins, which had the potential to be quite the disaster. However, the could who owns the place were extremely accommodating, offered us the same rate that Expedia did, and got us in and ready to go with no hassle. The units are BEAUTIFUL. Everything was absolutely fantastic.
