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.

The lodge was seclusive but had all the basic amenities that you would need. We loved that we were in a jungle environment and woke up with nature everyday. The staff were very helful and friendly and made our stay welcoming. Fiona's Cafe had amazing food for breakfast and dinner, with reasonable prices. We enjoyed our stay very much!

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!

Property is idealy located next to Santa Elena and San Ignacio for easy access to all shopping and business needs. I do believe the pool area needs an upgrade, it's fine but time for a re- decking and more modern pool.

Gorgeous property. Amazing people. Great communication. Good location. Because if the construct of the rooms, they are not easy to cool. I would definitely stay here again but just know there is wildlife and difficult cooling. There is a mini fridge, a water dispenser and coffee is provided. The trail around the property is plus.

Loved it!

The front desk was extra helpful in arranging transportation to outings and to the airport. They are very service oriented. The lodge is definitely a unique place of cabins in a jungle atmosphere with beautiful plants, but close to town. The 5 of us stayed in a 3BR family cabin. Two of us took advantage of having massages in their cute little spa, which was great. We ate dinner and most breakfasts at their little restaurant. Very good food.

From check in to check out the staff could not have been more welcoming. The cabin was spotless and everyday was kept that way. The grounds are so well maintained with signs everywhere to let you know what tree, plant or fruit is growing. Nature trails also add to the stay. A great place to stay in San Ignacio

Safe and secure.

Lodge was great. Very well kept and friendly staff A bit difficult to find as there is a sign by road but no lighting. We were in Chachalaca bungelo and lots of steps and no hand rail. Not the greatest for an older couple like us. There is dining on site and it was very good but a limited menu..

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.

This is a centrally located property that feels very much like it is miles away from civilization. You can hear cars occasionally but the thatched cabins and larger parties can accommodate any size of party. The staff is very helpful in suggesting and arranging tours in the area in which there are many options. Their tour prices also seem to be the most reasonable in the area. The couple who prepares food is precious and while the menu is somewhat the same from night to night, it is delicious. For our family, the larger Peace Apartment was great since it had 4 beds and two separate rooms with a large kitchen and separate sitting area. Good value and great staff make this highly recommended.

I stayed here for two nights in April 2023. You should have a car if you stay here because it's a little bit of a walk (30 mins?) from the downtown area of San Ignacio. The property itself is like a jungle oasis. They have a nice restaurant, a spa, a pool, and some hiking trails. I appreciate that they take such pride in taking care of all the plants on the property. The people who run this are very nice, very helpful, and very attenative. The cabins are very cute and roomy. They have everything you need including a complete kitchenette. I like all the flowers they leave around your room. They gave me more than enough pillows and towels. I highly reccommend this place!!
