Vanilla Hills Lodge is simply outstanding. My wife and I were treated with such gracious hospitality. The location is lovely and the staff is incredibly helpful. There are so many good things to say about this place and its wonderful owners, Claudia and Franklin. They did everything they could to make sure that we had an amazing experience during our time here. Accommodations were clean and incredibly comfortable. Setting is simply lovely. We found the dining experience to be superb with excellent wait staff and superb cuisine. We look forward to returning here.

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.
