Vanilla Hills Lodge

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!

Our stay at Vanilla Hills was wonderful. Stay here. You will completely enjoy it. Vanilla Hills is in a great location that is only a few minutes out of San Ignacio. It is like staying in a nature preserve. Pool is gorgeous and the restaurant and staff are top notch. Carina at the front desk was a joy to interact with. She also brought us drinks down to the pool after a day of exploring the ATM cave and was our waitress that night as well. She was so wonderful and friendly. The owner went over and above to help me fix my glasses that had broken by loaning us a small screw driver. Felt like we were staying with family. WONDERFUL place and stay!!! Highly, highly recommend.

Our baby moon here was great! Claudia was very welcoming and helped with ideas of things we could do with me being pregnant. We enjoyed our stay and will for sure return in the future!

This lodge was the perfect mix of privacy and easy access to town. The casitas are in the middle of the jungle and you fall asleep to the sound of the birds and insects. We also saw a coati and pecary on the way to breakfast - speaking of, the breakfasts are huge and delicious. The pool is beautiful and peaceful. At the same time, you are less than 10 minutes from downtown via car/taxi if you do want to leave the property. The staff was very kind to my children (age 4 and 6) and were over-all amazing. I highly recommended Vanilla Hills Lodge!
