Restful retreat in San Ignacio
A comfortable room, beautiful grounds and swimming pool, and helpful staff made our stay a relaxing escape. The lodge is conveniently located just on the edge of San Ignacio and is centrally located for tours of ruins and enjoyment of the natural beauty of the area. Their restaurant is a convenient alternative to going into town for meals. Highly recommended if you plan to stay in San Ignacio.

Great place to stay in San Ignacio
Great spot. A bit of a distance from downtown, and definitely up a hill. Beautiful place, though. And very friendly and helpful staff.

Falling Leaves love!
Paula does an amazing job successfully running this great hotel. She is kind, attentive, and is on top of everything.
The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The location is convenient to ruins and an easy walk down the hill to the town. The restaurant at the property is also very good. Recommend highly!

San Ignacio Jungle Gem
Some of the friendliest and most helpful hotel staff I have experienced. Paula greeted me at my late arrival and made sure I had everything I needed both at check in and throughout my stay, including some great excursions. The ever present bar and restaurant crew Elias and Harim were always there with recommendations and friendly conversation. Be it I had to leave early for a tour or needed advice on bars to visit while in town. Rangel, Kevin, Maria and Helen were busy keeping the room clean and the property well kept. If you visit be sure to go see the turtles in the wishing well and tell them hi.

FANTASTIC PEOPLE!
Great property and truly amazing people! In addition to providing super friendly and far above the usual service of very good hotels, they went far beyond in helping us resolve an issue with our rental car. While we waited we sat around the new pool and learned from employees about the birds and howler monkees we could hear. These people are awesome and that's why we always try to pay a visit each year when we come to Belize.

We stayed in the family house and it was very clean with tons of room. The staff was extremely helpful. Pool was very nice and refreshing. The property is at the top of the steep hill so if you do not have a car and are not very active, you might find it difficult to walk back up the hill, but it’s easy to get a taxi, It very walkable into the main part of San Ignacio if you are of average fitness. Highly recommend this place for families and larger groups.

My brother and I had an excellent stay at Falling Leaves lodge. The room was big, spacious and comfortable. Ms. Paula and the entire staff were superb. The entire staff made us feel welcome and were available for any assistance, if needed. The view of the city from the restaurant was amazing.

Not worth price.
The people and the resort especially Paula were very nice and helpful.
However, the condition of the resort is poor. The pool area was in disrepair and the hot tub was not hot.
Just overall not what we expected for the amount we paid.

Super Cute Property with Incredible Staff
I adored my stay here and wish I could have stayed longer. First, the staff are AMAZING. So warm, so helpful, so lovely. I am someone who always has a million questions and does silly things like not know how to lock my door-- they were there for all of it with a smiling face. 11/10 staff experience here.
Second, the property is so cute! All the nature around the accommodation is awesome. I was told you can sometimes see Toucans in the front tree! While I didn't witness them, if you go be on the lookout :)
Third, the location. It is *right* by one the Mayan ruin sites, which makes for a lovely morning adventure (before all the crowds rush in). I will say that this location is at the top of a giant hill.... so there is a trade off of having the peace and quiet/nature with the amenities of being directly in town. I ended up walking down the hill (into downtown) and then taking a taxi ($5 USD) back up one night, and then walked the other times.
I would absolutely stay here again. I was traveling as a solo female traveler and had not one issue. Highly recommend.
