This property is under new owners and is now Garden Hills Resort. They are and have been doing remodeling. The rooms my brother and I had were very clean, had nice amenities, mattresses were really comfortable, pillows were great. The best part was the staff however. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! We both had issues with hot water in our rooms. We brought to their attention and it was remedied immediately. (Yes in the tropics, but water was still to cold to comfortably shower) They have a nice pool with the adult pool being infinity and the lower pool for children. They have a bar and snack area by the pool as well as you can order food from the restaurant there. The main restaurant is nice and has some really good food at a reasonable price along with a bar to go with it. They charged average prices and not resort prices as you would usually experience. The resort is just far enough out of town to be pretty quiet, but close enough that it only takes a few minutes to get to town by taxi, driver, or your own vehicle. It is also close enough that the tour companies that we dealt with will pick you up at the hotel instead of having to go to the normal meeting locations. One really nice point is a viewing deck above the pool area where you can sit to watch the sun rise and set, watch and listen to the birds, and have a nice cup of coffee or a drink. As I said all of the staff we interacted with and talked frequently with were absolutely amazing and were a big part of making a terrific stay. A few that were we had a lot of interaction with that were exceptionally kind and helpful (sorry if I have any of the spelling of names incorrect): Maralyn, Janelly, Javier, Albert, and Emily. They were our bartenders, servers, latte, and smoothie makers. Roy, the resort driver who is friendly, helpful, and full of advice. We had a lot of great times with him and enjoyed every minute of it.

I honestly can’t think of anything that I really disliked about the property. With the new owners, it appears that they have plans to make it even better.

Rooms were excellent, very clean and comfortable. The staff are off the charts friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has great food and very reasonable. The resort recently changed hands and the new owner has really made some great changes. The pool area is large and also has a large kiddie pool next to it. The patio overlooks the mountains and has exceptional views. It’s 5 minutes from the Myan ruins and 10 minutes from the San Ignatio farmers market. This is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone traveling in the San Ignatio area. We loved our stay.

Great place to stay, just outside of San Ignacio. Perfect for a tour in Belize or day out to Guatamala. Several amazing archaeological sites to visit nearby. Very nice and helpful staff. Swimming pool with bar and food service. Clean room with ac, large bathroom and nice shower with rainfall showerhead. Enclosed is also a balcony..Iron+board in room available, no fridge or watercooker. Hot water easily available at reception on request. Extra info, from border to Tikal with 1,5 hr taxi cost us 500 Qtz. .

Quite a spacious room with comfortable beds, a spacious bathroom and a lot of sockets, air conditioning was also fine and a hot water was really hot, the breakfast was quite good as well.

In the morning the water flow in the shower was very weak, breakfast is very expensive, in the morning it is very noisy when other guests leave their rooms, it is impossible to sleep. There is no help in delivering suitcases to the room, the hotel does not correspond to 5 stars at all, maximum 4.

Pool was great, staff were attentive and helpful, view from the hilltop overlooking jungle was lovely. It’s a short drive into San ignacio so you ideally need a car. We didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food. Drinks were good and reasonably priced.

Room was a little small for five of us but We managed. I think the pool area would be improved if it didn’t have a roof over it so you could see out over the beautiful view from the water. Also the music at the pool was very loud, could have been a little quieter and still have had a good atmosphere.

Very accommodating and friendly staff. Food and drinks were good and quite reasonable considering it is a resort. Karaoke with the Saturday night crowd in the covered swimming pool and bar area was a wonderful, noisy, tone-deaf blast! We actually booked an extra night for less than online prices directly with the front desk. We were having too much fun and wanted to see some more things in the area.

Cold shower in our Room 4 (in fairness, they had a sign saying it was farthest from the heater - where is it? San Ignacio? 🤣) There was nothing at this place that would ever keep us from coming back - in fact, we booked an extra night!

The staff were incredibly friendly and always smiling. Also the location high on a hill allowed for excellent views. The food was delicious and the cocktails were excellent.

The property is old and the entire place could use refurbishment. None of this detracted from our enjoyment of the service and excellent location so near to many Mayan ruins and caves.

I love where the resort was located out of the city. It was really nice and quiet. They had a nice size pool that catered to everyone and karaoke on Saturday ❤️❤️. I recommend this resort it’s really affordable.I will be going again real soon. The staff is really nice and friendly, always a smile on their faces ❤️❤️.

I was raised in San Ignacio so I love going home for the local food. I didn’t like that the only Belizean food was breakfast. Everything else was American food.
