This property was amazing! The pool was honestly perfect. Chairs were comfy, there was seating beside and inside the pool, the bar was close by and they would bring the drinks right to you.
The property is beautiful! The restaurant is lovely. The staff are so kind and helpful. Our kids loved having an afternoon swim after touring the area! We would definitely recommend staying at Vanilla Hills :)
The property was amazing. My kids loved the pool and wondering around the grounds searching for wildlife. Staff were attentive and the room was very clean. We would definitely stay here again. We stayed in the orchid room which was great for a family of four. Our only complaint was that the beds/linens weren't the greatest and the shower was small/dated but everyone still slept well. Such a magical place. So grateful we stayed there.
This resort was absolutely perfect and better than we expected! The grounds, lodging, food, and staff are 5 stars. 10/10!! We stayed here for 3 nights and it was our favorite place we stayed out of our 10 day trip in Belize. It was the perfect place for our romantic yet adventurous honeymoon and we can't wait to come back and bring friends. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time at Vanilla Hills. Our villa (Orchid) was a wonderful, comfortable place to return to after all day excursions. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. I only wish we had more time to relax and enjoy 3 Senses - there is so much to see in the area!
We stayed in a beautifully designed tree house, the pool was lovely and the restaurant and bar area were very nice. It’s overall fairly well maintained but a 10 min drive into San Ignacio (20 USD return taxi). Menu at the restaurant was good (limited for vegetarians), welcome cocktail was excellent.
The hotel organised tours and transfers for us - it’s worth checking the details as there were a few mix ups.
It’s expensive for a 3 star and the hotel could improve some services to make you feel like you are getting good value for money.
We are comparing this to a 3 star hotel we stayed in at Caye Caulker which was exceptional all round!
The grounds were full of wildlife and beautiful! Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. Our house was spacious and fully stocked. Our family, including 3 teenagers, had a great time swimming and relaxing.
We loved the quiet peaceful setting of the resort. The pool area, grounds and restaurant were all beautiful and well kept. We were very impressed and would love to return one day!
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.
We loved our stay in the Gumbo Limbo Treehouse! The room was beautiful and staff were amazing! We even had a troop of monkeys playing in the trees one morning while we were there.
Claudia, Jose and Mark were the staff we interacted with the most and they were all fantastic. Great place to relax with plenty to explore nearby. The food onsite was great and the pool was perfect.
It was a beautiful resort and the staff made sure you had everything you needed. Very attentive. The restaurant there was not only beautiful but had great food. Would stay there again if I ever have the pleasure of a second trip to San Ignacio.
The staff was extremely helpful. They helped to book our day trips with great guides. The food was excellent and vegetarian friendly. Our cabin was private, quiet, and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the country around San Ignacio.
