Cassia Hill Resort

This hotel was fine for the price. Our room was surprisingly nicer than expected, and staff were helpful. But not having easier access to food/drink when the room had kitchenette features was difficult with kids. A microwave and fridge are only so helpful when there are no bowls, plates or cutlery. The restaurant/bar was only sporadically open, couldn’t be counted on. Separately, though the pool was great, the whole property had a half-abandoned vibe to it. Made for a quiet, peaceful stay but you also wondered… why are there so few guests in high season?

This property was perfect for our family. Beautiful gardens and pool.

This is a great location for someone venturing into Guatemala for the day. We were in Cabin 8 which was perfect for our family. Properties closer to reception look newer. Ask for a low number. The pool is nice after a hot day. There is not a lot of staff so expect to have to look for help at reception and breakfast. Ask if your breakfast is included in your stay. The breakfast is expensive for what is included. There is a grocery store less than 1/2 mile into town.

Cassia Hill was GORGEOUS. The buildings were lovely, the house was perfect. The outdoor shower attached to the bathroom was an incredible bonus. The grounds themselves were living gardens with wild iguanas on site and howler monkeys directly behind in the jungle/forest area next to the property. We had slow internet but they were quick to address and solve it. We arrived in the "rainy season" so slower season in July but it didn't rain. The restaurant was undergoing roof repair so wasn't in operation but we found a few very good restaurants nearby in San Ignacio. Very close to the Xunantunich Mayan ruins. The pool was awesome. The only not-so-awesome part is that it is near a major road so certain times during the day we could hear the car traffic. Throughout the town of San Ignacio they were burning trash pretty much constantly while we were there and the smell and air quality was really tough to get used to. Overall we enjoyed our stay and much appreciated the oasis and friendly faces that Cassia Hill provided for our family.

Very great stay with my family of 9. Breakfast and dinner was good. Pool was great. AC really cools the rooms. Great stay for the price.
