While most of the accommodations were smaller, our 6 person guesthouse was tucked into the jungle with beautiful views from the balcony. We ate both nights at the Three Senses (sight, smell and taste) restaurant where all of us (ages 7 to 80) were well fed and wonderfully satisfied. The boys loved the pool and the grandparents loved the newly built bar area for their evening espresso. The staff and owners were very attentive and took good care of is, you felt like family. I would highly recommend a stay, much better than a large hotel. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe May 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Vanilla Hills Lodge is simply outstanding.

Located just a few minutes from San Ignacio, it’s a prefect home-base to hit Maya ruins, ATM Cave Tour, Big Rock Waterfalls, etc. Our lovely Tree House was well appointed, beyond clean and had the most AMAZING indoor/outdoor shower!!! One of my trip highlights was showering in a jungle 😊 The onsite restaurant was delicious, and the pool was pristine and morning & evening. The entire staff was warm, engaging, and happy to help with plan/tour suggestions. THANK YOU, Claudia, for the “unbelizable” accommodations, cooking and personal touch. See you again soon! CHEERS, Kara & Guy ##### kara Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly Dec 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful stay at Vanilla Hills with our 4 children. We stayed at the villa. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us. The property was gorgeous with opportunities to see wildlife each morning, including Toucans and Coatis. We loved swimming in the pool and sitting on our porch. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant each day and the food was amazing and fairly priced! They had plenty of vegetarian options. All the staff at Vanilla Hilla were so kind and accommodating and willing to answer questions. We felt very comfortable and welcomed here. This place is really special! ##### Holly Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trent Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was extremely helpful and gracious. ##### Trent Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We LOVED our stay at the property!

The food prepared at the restaurant was superb. There was a lovely infinity pool that we were able to enjoy. (Temps were in the mid-90s) We stayed in one of the treehouses and loved it. Very well appointed. Pretty pathways throughout the property. Be sure to visit the green iguana rescue in San Ignacio. The property's location is handy for Mayan ruins and cave tours. Love this place. ##### Teri Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Resort This was our first hotel on a two week trip around Belize. We stayed at 6 other hotels/cabanas over our whirlwind tour of this great country. We waited until the end to make sure, but this was our favorite resort of all that we stayed. The cabin we stayed in (Hibiscus), was well appointed. The staff did a phenomenal job - they made up the extra bed in the room when we arrived and ironed the sheets as they made the bed. The daily towel animals were a nice touch too! The infinity pool was clean and relaxing. Food at the restaurant was amazing - highly recommend it. We really enjoyed watching all the animals on the property. The staff were phenomenal, making sure everything was taken care of. Highly recommend this resort! ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a fantastic stay at Vanilla Hills. Our cabin was very comfortable with awsome views out of all of the windows. The on-site restaraunt has fantastic food and we enjoyed a special tapas tasing event while we were there. We would definitely return. ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The pool, the birds and animals, the cabana and the meals and wine. ##### michael Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6057934-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bar Harbor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bar-Harbor-Hotels-Bar-Harbor-Inn.h8241409.Hotel-Information) > > [Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Sleeping-Giant-Rainforest-Lodge.h5972402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Talisman](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Hotel-Talisman.h2982027.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hilton-Toronto-Airport-Hotel-Suites.h22628.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel SB Icaria](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-SB-Icaria-Barcelona.h1065583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bellevue](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellevue-Hotels.d56347.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Salmon Arm](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmon-Arm-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d6138741-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shoreline Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Shoreline-Resort.h15089994.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Brickell](https://www.expedia.ca/Brickell-Miami-Hotels.0-n6240961-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Prince Edward Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Prince-Edward-Island-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6058122-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Jamaica-All-Inclusive.h1576054.Hotel-Information) > > [Oasis by the Bay Vacation Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Wasaga-Beach-Hotels-Oasis-By-The-Bay-Vacation-Suites.h6583570.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [BIG Family & Multi-Family Cottage with Incredible View, Hot Tub & Sauna](https://www.expedia.ca/Parry-Sound-Hotels-BIG-Family-Multi-Family-Cottage-With-Incredible-View.h18954980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels.d179899.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Martinique](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Martinique.d113.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hilton Scottsdale Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Hilton-Scottsdale-Resort-Villas.h7862.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyc/delhi-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fra/toronto-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fco/yvr/rome-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nrt/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ktm/winnipeg-to-kathmandu) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to New Orleans (MSY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/msy/montreal-to-new-orleans) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Victoria-Intl.d4872537.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Commonwealth Stadium](https://www.expedia.ca/Commonwealth-Stadium-North-Central-Edmonton.d501028.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/13/Bahamas) ### General > [Visit Montbello](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Montbello.dx553248635919600576)
