    We absolutely loved this lovely property! Hosts were very kind and accommodating! Daily housekeeping was awesome and Luis was super helpful in getting us set up with activities and rides to town. Very quiet and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back.

    Beautiful and immaculately maintained property. The tree top unit is very unique and exactly as represented with a five star view. We had a couple of short service issues during our stay (once electrical and once water). Probably just bad timing. Also, several dogs on the property that tended to bark sporadically throughout the night. None of these issues would stop us from staying again. Very much recommend.

    This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. Ken and Virginia were awesome and our room was always clean and tidy. The views were so beautiful and the outdoor shower was top notch.

    After a little confusion at check in got sorted out, we truly enjoyed staying at Villa Cayo! The hosts, Ken and Virginia, were friendly, gracious hosts and the property is beautiful and well maintained. The pictures REALLY don’t do justice to this fabulous property! It is quiet, secluded, well appointed and waking up to the mist covering the forest and watching the vista appear as the sun warms up and burns off the mist. Absolutely gorgeous! Convenient to both Santa Elena and San Ignacio, and as a bonus Virginia can help arrange any excursions you might want. We will definitely stay here again when we return to San Ignacio!

    Be a part of the jungle with just a short drive from the city. My husband and I enjoyed the rooftop villa on this trip. We felt like we were totally alone on the mountain top. Virginia is a great host and has great recommendations for eating out and day trips. This is not your normal house rental, staff comes in daily to freshen towels and clean up. I personally don't feel they need to but it is nice to have the ac turned on in the afternoon to cool your room before you return from your excursion. Most amazing sunrise and sunset views will be enjoyed here. My early rising husband captured a sunrise video with the sounds of the jungle birds waking up, that was unbelievable. No need to beat yourself up driving hours to the jungle resorts you can experience it here and have the convenience of the short drive to eat put, shop, and explore near by ruins. Also recommend going out to Rio on Pools and Rio Cave out the same road. Pack a lunch and enjoy a swim in the pools. Every time we have gone to the pools we have the entire place to ourselves. Highly recommend you have 4 wheel drive anytime you travel in Belize. The cabins are just as nice if you dont want outdoor showers, cooking and stairs.
