Great choice
Mel and Rose made our stay convenient. They’re easy to reply and attend to our questions and needs. The place is a good location for excursions and was absolutely the right choice for us as we were planning to drive to Guatemala.

Pleasant stay
We enjoyed our stay at Monkey Falls very much. The onsite restaurant was perfect and delicious. The host, Melody, and her brother were very helpful. There was a little problem with termites swarming with the beginning of the rainy season, which apparently only happens at the first rain. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful Family-run Jungle Home
Rosa is the grandmother and would cook specific off the menu meals for us. She noticed we arrived late and knew we would be hungry. We felt taken care of fully with last minute transport requests and food. The space is absolutely lovely and spending time on the porch was magical watching Tucans fly and listening to the jungle sounds. The driver Rod was questionable but besides that I would highly reccomend staying here. The Monkey Falls nearby were lovely and we had them all to ourselves. The grounds were covered with beautiful orchids, plants and bird. The place had some mystic ancient energy for sure. Felt really great supporting a local family!

Cute Cabin with Very Kind Hosts
We stayed for 10 days and the cabin had all the essentials nevessary for a comfortable stay. The best part was our hosts who were available for questions and tours around the property. They made our experince in Belize much more exciting and left a long lasting impression.

Nice cabins, good price
We stayed here for four nights while in Cayo. Cabin 3 was very comfortable for our family of four, and the setting was quite nice, with lots of hummingbirds and toucans coming to the property. We also really enjoyed the breakfasts. Staff was responsive and helpful with arranging transportation and such. Getting around can be somewhat inconvenient without a car, but I think this is true for most places in the San Ignacio area. Would definitely recommend.

Helpful host; great location
Melody is a great host, going out of her way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. She provided great recommendations for activities, transportation, and shopping. She even gave us a ride into San Ignacio on short notice when our cab didn't show up. Having a car as part of the rental was a huge convenience, but we only needed it two days out of a week because many of the trip companies were willing to pick us up at the VRBO. Location is close enough to San Ignacio to take advantage of all the town has to offer, but you still feel secluded in the "jungle." Only negative is that the kitchen is a little difficult to cook full meals in due to a very old stove and limited pots/pans/utensils.
