The property was amazing. My kids loved the pool and wondering around the grounds searching for wildlife. Staff were attentive and the room was very clean. We would definitely stay here again. We stayed in the orchid room which was great for a family of four. Our only complaint was that the beds/linens weren't the greatest and the shower was small/dated but everyone still slept well. Such a magical place. So grateful we stayed there.

We had a wonderful time at Vanilla Hills. Our villa (Orchid) was a wonderful, comfortable place to return to after all day excursions. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. I only wish we had more time to relax and enjoy 3 Senses - there is so much to see in the area!

This resort was absolutely perfect and better than we expected! The grounds, lodging, food, and staff are 5 stars. 10/10!! We stayed here for 3 nights and it was our favorite place we stayed out of our 10 day trip in Belize. It was the perfect place for our romantic yet adventurous honeymoon and we can't wait to come back and bring friends. Thank you!!

We had a fantastic stay at Vanilla Hills. Our cabin was very comfortable with awsome views out of all of the windows. The on-site restaraunt has fantastic food and we enjoyed a special tapas tasing event while we were there. We would definitely return.

Our family had an incredible stay at Vanilla Hills Resort, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing—the perfect place to unwind while still being close to all the adventures around San Ignacio. The food was outstanding, and every meal was fresh and delicious. What truly made our stay special, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming, and eager to help. They coordinated our excursions seamlessly, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer without any stress. The wildlife on the property was amazing. We saw howler monkeys in the trees almost every day, along with coatis and iguanas, which our kids absolutely loved. One of the sweetest moments of our trip was when the housekeeping staff took the time to show our children how to fold towels into animal shapes. It was such a thoughtful gesture that they still talk about. If you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly place with exceptional service, delicious food, and an authentic Belize experience, I can't recommend Vanilla Hills Resort highly enough. We would absolutely stay here again!

It was a beautiful resort and the staff made sure you had everything you needed. Very attentive. The restaurant there was not only beautiful but had great food. Would stay there again if I ever have the pleasure of a second trip to San Ignacio.
