Beautiful but expensive

Really nice surroundings (jungle) and facilities (the pool is amazing). The room designed like a tree house is really nice, quiet and comfortable. A lot of amazing wildlife around (birds, nose bears, monkeys…). All the staff was super friendly.

Stunning location!

Located near xunantunich which meant we could have an early start and arrival to the ruins. Lots of wildlife and birds on property. We enjoyed the pool and the jungle setting!

Amazing jungle lodge I would be happy to return to

Beautiful hotel with so amazing cottages. Extremely clean and well built cabins, also very private. Beautiful and cozy landscaping all over with nice light and wildlife sounds. So cool outdoor showers in the cabins. Big beautiful pool and cozy sitting area. Very kind and personal service.

Highly recommend for a relaxing stay in nature

What a perfect stay. The staff are incredible, the place is amazing and we had everything we had such a lovely stay. Highlight was having a delicious (and copious) breakfast on our last day watching all of the animals coming to eat too. Including a coatimundi, hummingbirds, toucans, and many other amazing birds. The Pina colada la were also some of the best I've had !

Beautiful surroundings, warm staff, and lovely rooms make this a top-notch lodge!

Everything about the lodge is amazing. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The grounds are stunning and full of wildlife. The staff members were all so friendly and welcoming. And the restaurant was absolutely top-notch. Everything we ate there was delicious. It's clear the owner has set high expectations, and she was always on site and very helpful and gracious. We loved that the lodge was out of town and felt remote, and the unit we stayed in was super private and tucked back in the trees. The open air shower afforded us great views of the trees and nature, and we even got to see the coatimundis playing in the trees. Honestly, staying at the lodge was one of the best parts of our whole trip to Belize.

Our Tree House Bungalow was a little slice of heaven. So beautiful, quiet, and private. We loved waking up to the tropical birds singing. The food and service at the restaurant was exceptional and our hosts were very friendly.

Highly recommended! Perfect stay for all.

Amazingly impressed with this resort! Perfect location. It was nice to be away from it all- tucked back in the trees. True jungle type feel! The cleanliness, the staff, and the grounds were stunning. It was nice to stay somewhere where the staff treated us like normal people. Coming from the states, often time when we visit Central American countries there’s a definite.. dislike we feel from staff members. Not here- these guys welcomed us into their country and were excited we travelled far to enjoy their country. Super recommended!!

Vanilla Hills Lodge is absolutely beautiful. The food is definitely a big highlight. We were there for Christmas and enjoyed the 5 course meal prepared by the owner, chef, and staff. I highly recommend Vanilla Hills for a peaceful retreat while touring all that the region has to offer.
