Beautiful property in the mountains - peaceful. The staff was incredible. Luis arranged our tours and transportation. He was super responsive to questions and was a pleasure to work with.

The villa owners are the kindest people! When we had ants in our room (due to heavy rain so not the villa’s fault), they swiftly moved us to a new room. They also offered great tips and were overall very sweet.

The property was in the jungle! There were a pair of toucans that visited every morning. The staff was wonderful and friendly.

Fantastic location outside of the city. Could see the stars at night, and the sunrise/sunset. My cabana had a kitchen, amazing native wood throughout, and toucans that liked to knock on my window! The staff (especially Luis, Virginia, and Ken) were beyond supportive and kind. They made everything convenient and easy. I didn’t have a rental car and it was not a problem at all. Perfect place to stay.

From the moment you pull, the owners make you feel like welcome guests. Amazing combination of comfort, privacy and scenic views. Having a full kitchen was a huge bonus for us (and the kitchen has all the equipment you need for cooking a meal). Virginia and Ken (the owners) are super hosts. If we are ever back in San Ignacio area, we will not even look for a different accommodation, unless Villa Cayo is all booked out. Highly recommend with one caveat - you need to be travelling with a car to fully enjoy your stay at Villa Cayo.

Owners building a large pool right in front of the villa that will become Pool Villa ... our preference are small villa tucked away from the future pool .., but I am sure many customers will enjoy this large pool.

Fantastic property sitting on the top of the hill about 3km from the center of San Ignacio. Well maintained, superbly clean, owners care about you as a customer. Very quiet setting in between many trees, ,yet close to the San Ignacio. Can't even begin to explain all the interior design made by the owner, custom doors, wooden table, cabinets; beautiful view from the bed into the woods every morning. 2 Aracari Toucans visiting us every morning and evening, sitting at the villa window and watching us.

It's a bit far from town and not an easy walk due to lack of sidewalks on the roadway -- you'll want a vehicle or be prepared to spend on taxis to get to/from most places.

Excellent stay in a stunning location. Beautifully constructed villas -- every detail was considered and we were extremely comfortable. The staff was dynamite, so friendly and willing/ready to make us as comfortable as possible. Daily maid service felt luxurious! Loved having a kitchen and gorgeous, stunning views from the hilltop. Really was a highlight of our trip to Belize, staying among the trees in such a peaceful and beautiful place.

We purchased the transportation package for $510 but with all the tour packages, transportation is factored into the cost, so you rarely use the transportation set up in the package deal. The cost is $120 to and from the airport and we only used the transportation provided on 5 occasions over a 10-day period ($20 round trip into town). If we didn’t have their transportation package, we would have saved $170.00. We made a trip to another town to pick up a cell phone that was left behind and were told it was not covered under the transportation plan, even though we hadn’t used it for several days. We ended up paying the extra $50 out of pocket. Just a heads-up to be sure you will be needing their transportation daily.

The villa was immaculate and the views were spectacular. The full kitchen was a definite plus and the unit was tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We will be booking again.

The bed was double twins together which was a bit soft and left a hump in the middle. If they could switch one thing it would be that. Rest was wonderful.

The hosts Virginia and Ken were very friendly. Edgar was extremely helpful with his knowledge of birds in the area. The property Villa 2 had a lovely view. Set up really well with full kitchen and room was immaculate. Highly recommend a stay here for anyone traveling to the area.

Beautiful room with a sensational view over the rain forest. The owners and all the staff were super friendly and helpful without being intrusive. This was very good value. They have a lovely garden. It’s a 15 minute drive into San Ignacio so helpful to have a car or use a taxi

Bugs crawling on the walls of the bathroom & on kitchen counter top & the kitchen wall, small holes in the walls.

Breakfast was great. Love the fresh fruit.

My room was out of propane when I arrived. But they had it filled as soon as they could.

Great view Convenient location Nice hosts

Villa Cayo has a fantastic location that it is not located in or close to the city of San Ignacio, but we knew that before we arrived. Since we didn't have a rental car we had to pay a taxi to reach restaurants and the market since walking could be very dangerous to town and back especially when dark.

We stayed on the 3rd floor which was a great choice as it provided amazing views and breezy cool evening for star gazing. We heard howler monkeys on our first night stay. Couldn't see them, but we asked Virginia the next day what was all that commotion and she told us it was howler monkeys indeed. We did order breakfast one morning before our shuttle pick-up for the ATM Cave tour. We both had the breakfast burrito which was very tasty and the local seasonal fruit was amazing. Thanks Luis for a wonderful breakfast. Virginia was a wonderful host and we talked with her daily and she made calls for us to set up our day with drivers / guides that made our trip so special. I promise you'll never sleep on a more comfortable King bed then what we slept on and we were spoiled with having our room cleaned daily. We also used the private Villa Cayo shuttle service from the BZE airport and to the water taxi's in Belize before departing to San Pedro. Romell was our driver both ways and was the nicest driver anyone could ever expect.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Cayo. Virginia, Ken, and their staff provided a beautiful hilltop retreat. They helped us book our daily excursions and you can order breakfasts to be delivered to your room before your outings. We were in Unit 3 and felt we had the small lawn and valley view to ourselves. We would not hesitate to recommend Villa Cayo to friends visiting San Ignacio.

the property is on the top of a hill and oversees a green lush jungle. the pictures don’t do justice to view.

If you like your personal freedom to come and go with little notice, you may want a car rental. The hotel is too far from town to walk. No worries, if you don't have one as taxis are easy to get and their shuttle driver also will run taxi service when not working at the property.

The view from both the villas and the roof top villa is exceptional. We stayed four nights in the roof top suite. When we decided to book our flight two days later than planned, Virginia was able to get us into one of her four villas detached from the main house. Both are excellent accommodations. The owner is very accommodating at booking tours, arranging transportation to and from town, and providing a breakfast service. You will be glad you made this choice.

Meticulously clean, modern facility and incredibly well stocked. Small details like RO water, coffee, sugar, as well as fill and plastic wrap made our stay so pleasant.

Villa Cayo was a great find! The location was perfect for exploring Mayan ruins, local caves, and various river areas. Virginia was a welcoming host and the property itself was nothing short of amazing, with all of the creature comforts of home (with a few extra creatures because of the location above the canopies of rain forest). While we greatly enjoyed the roof villa, we weren't able to take advantage of some of the amenities. We'd love to come back with a larger group so that we could better take advantage of the space.

Without a question this is the best place to stay in San Ignacio/Cayo! Virginia and Kenneth are the most caring hosts. The villa itself is even better than it looks in the photos. The hospitality details is exceptional and the villa itself was such a reprieve. The views are amazing, everything was immaculate and we were even able to cook quite comfortably in the well appointed kitchen. The daily housekeeping and the grounds is just gorgeous.

The taxi rides were a little pricey for the distance travelled.

Virginia and Ken were welcoming and wonderful hosts. The views from the villa exceeded all expectations. Their recommendations were spot on and the puppies made it feel like home.

Nothing we didn't like. All perfect!

Absolutely stunning villa! Exactly as it showing on the photos and more! It is on the hill so the views are fantastic! Very nice owners, very attentive, helped us with tours and PCR test. Villa itself was absolutely amazing - everything from bed to kitchen supplies, well positioned and beautifully decorated. You can't add anything - it was simply perfect!
