Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay at Villa Cayo in San Ignacio. It’s hard to beat the hill-top views and waking up to the sounds of the jungle! Virginia was a wonderful host and set up all of our tours. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and made our stay really enjoyable. We definitely recommend the ATM cave tour and the Tikal tour. If you are able, don’t miss these two gems! We stayed in Villa 4, a quiet setting with amazing views. We Villa Cayo a 5-star review.

Summary: We booked villa cayo for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint! This villa is stocked with everything you need. It is close to town, but you will need a car or a ride. We loved that it was out of the way into the jungle. It was a great central home base for our adventures. We saw iguanas, a toucan and many other creatures during our stay. We’d highly reccomend booking with Ken and Virginia.

Summary: Our hosts, Ken and Virginia, are the best. They have a lovely, private Villa, a 5-minute drive from San Ignacio. The guest homes are beautiful with plenty of windows to watch the sunset, parrots and toucans on the property. We stayed in 4 locations while in Belize, and this was my favorite. When we visit Belize again, we plan to stay here. It is a great location for the nearby Mayan ruins, coffee chocolate tours and Pine Ridge activities such as the Butterfly farm, Big Rock Falls, and cave tubing, Most Pine Ridge activities are a 30–45-minute drive. It is an hour and 40-minute drive to the international airport.

Summary: This property was gorgeous and SO quiet. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it really felt like a home away from home. We loved that there was a full kitchen and eating utensils, so we could cook some meals and save some money that way. It was also surprisingly fun to visit the San Ignacio supermarkets, since we had no idea what we were looking for and decided to try some things we had never seen before. The property owners messaged me on Viator before we arrived which was really nice. The only advice I would offer is to be prepared if you’re arriving in Belize on Christmas Day because everything is supposed to be closed. We lucked out and one or two restaurants were open, but that was something we hadn’t thought about. The owners of the property put some local fruit in our fridge, too, to make sure we were okay for food until things opened up again, which was really thoughtful! Anyway, the view was beautiful and we will definitely be recommending the place to my parents, who are thinking of visiting Belize later on.

Summary: We were undecided on staying on the coast or in the mountains for our trip to Belize. All of the glowing reviews for this rental persuaded us to give this one a try and stay in the mountains. This place was everything everyone said it would be. The unit itself was charming and the location was fantastic. We rented a car and the short drive into town for our meals was convenient. I would recommend Crave and Guava Limb for dinner and Ko-ox Han Nah and Pop's for breakfast. Virginia and Ken were both very sociable and helpful, giving us recommendations and nice conversation. There are many activities near here to keep you busy. I would recommend the Iguana Sanctuary in the San Ignacio Hotel, the night hike at the Chaa Creek resort, the botanical gardens at Duplooy's (the guide is worth it) the Belize zoo, massage at the magic touch in the Venus hotel. If you are really adventurous a drive to Guatemala for the Tikal Ruins (make sure you exchange enough money into Guatemalan currency and read info about crossing the border before you leave) and the ATM cave tour. The ATM was physically challenging but worth it.

Summary: This place is truly the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in! Pictures don't even do this place justice. It is amazing! To summarize our experience: we stayed in villa#4 (there are a total of 2 right now), a brand-new beautifully appointed villa on a hill top just outside of town. The grounds are immaculate and decorated with the most amazing exotic plants and trees.The interior is superb with high end appliances and beautiful wood finishes along with an awesome stained concrete flooring. The kitchen is equipped with every possible detail and there is also a BBQ grill outside which is constantly kept ready to go complete with charcoal, lighter fluid and BBQ lighter. Nothing here is cheap or worn- no scratched up non-stick pans or the likes of it. The A.C. also works flawlessly and there is a purified water source in the apartment so no need to go out and purchase drinking water. As if all that wasn't enough,the owners Virginia and Kenneth go out of their way to help out and will arrange activities for you if needed. Add that to the stunning views through the thoughtfully one-way tinted panoramic windows and it truly felt like paradise. And one last thing: you will enjoy a housekeeper who will wash all your dishes, clean up with great attention to detail and even decorate with a fresh flower from the garden. I wished every vacation condo was maintained like this!

Summary: Villa Cayo is absolutely THE best place to stay in San Ignacio! Virginia greeted us as we drove in and we all proceeded to the villa. She told us where things were located in the villa, gave us recommendations for restaurants, and recommended Chen's Supermarket for groceries. The views from this villa are spectacular! We saw Toucans and a Hummingbird out of our large windows that showcase the view. Very close to Cehal Pech mayan ruins, downtown, and the Market. Virginia and Ken lives in the house located up the hill and is accessible by a phone in the villa if you need anything. We will definitely stay here again! We are already planning our Belize visit for next year in May!

Summary: Ken and Virginia have created a wonderful environment for a terrific vacation. My wife and I stayed in the bungalow pictured for 7 days. The unit is wonderfully appointed and perfectly perched high above San Ignacio with a million dollar view. With maid service daily, a great kitchen and a BBQ, you have everything you need when you come back from a day of incredible adventures! We picked this unit on the strength of perfect ratings. It is completely warranted. You will NOT be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful way to spent out 35th wedding anniversary! We hope to come back some day. Many thanks! Patrick Schooley

Summary: First off, the hosts because they were beyond exceptional. Virginia and Ken were looking out for us from the time we booked, to a week before we arrived and through three days we stayed there. We were going to get guided trips and try and take a bus in, but thankfully, Virginia encouraged us both to rent a car and we are so glad we did (this was my wife's first time out of the US and my first time driving central). Virginia was kind enough to set us up with a great guide for the ATM tour the first day; when we got back, we had enough to visit Cahal Pech. The second and real reason we got the car, was to go to Tikhal - that was an excusion so plan for 4 hours of tour once you arrive. The morning we checked out, we rushed down to Rio on Pools for a quick dip and came home. While we were not travelling, we were encouraged to visit the downtown of San Ignacio - it wasn't on our radar but the people are extremely friendly and the town has a lot of character. We had no idea all San Ignacio had to offer. Ken and Virginia were able to provide us with a lot of good information, but we only really communicated through mediums (not in person), so rest assured to those honeymooners, you will fully have your privacy. Secondly, the accommodations were incredible. A luxurious private room/efficiency with a fully equipped kitchen, fridge, strong ac, no shortage of channels with a picturesque panoramic view. The room was cleaned everyday so we left the maid a few American dollars. It was just really nice to come home after our adventures to fully air tight, cool, comfortable room - great style too. You could honestly spend your entire vacation in the room and cook your own food if you wanted. We had a hard time balancing exploring the restaurants/town or whether we would just dine in; typically it depended on how tired we were at the end of the day. The view overlooks the luscious forests/jungle that grow near the river and the sunsets are incredible; admittedly, we had a hard time catching the sunset, there were just so many things to take in while we were in San Ignacio. I highly recommend Villa Cayo. If you have any questions, just send them a message; between providing us travel recommendations, directions, restaurant recommendations, and hosting at an incredible place, it's going to be hard to beat the added comfort. It's almost like you are getting a personal tour, that you end up taking on your own.
