Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved this property! It's gorgeous and the staff is amazing! The rooms are spacious and honeymoon vibe. We went during the dry season which is the hottest so be prepared for the humidity and lots of stairs. If you are a light sleeper I recommend you being earplugs because the wild life dont care if youre sleep deprived. Food and drinks were so good and we definitely will be back!"
"The hotel is nice with a beautiful garden, but it’s not a good value for money. Everything is extra, including the room coffee which is $5 USD per day, after paying 900 USD for two nights! Breakfast is à la carte and the size is tiny. They charge service fee for the room mini bar. The restaurant is very expensive and does not serve local food."
"We loved staying at the Villa Massis! They have created a piece of paradise. The room was perfect and comfortable, air conditioning was great, the pool was refreshing after busy days of tours. They served yummy food options and were attentive to details. Their new riverside bar area with a deck and steps down to the river is a fun and gorgeous setting. I would highly recommend staying here. They are about 10 minutes outside of town but close to restaurants and shops. They provide a lot of services on the property. Lucy was really great and helped us out with whatever we needed and Jason also made sure we were attended to and having a good time. You can book tours directly through them as well.

"We had an incredible stay here. The pools were beautiful and well kept. Food was good, of course pricier than local options but still fairly priced and fresh. The landscaping and grounds and boardwalk were a dream though. Amazing work they have done here. It has to be decades of tending and pruning.
The property manager was able to help us with our tour plans as well. We found cave tubing and ziplining through her connection to be cheaper than booking online."
"We had a great stay at the West House overall. Good location if you want to be able to walk around San Ignacio (probably the nicest hotel in that area). The reason for the mixed review is that we had something “go missing” from our room during our stay. It wasn’t something that we would ever bring out of the room with us and the worst part is that it was inside one of our bags when we left the room, meaning someone either went through the bag and took it or it fell out during the room cleaning and then was taken. The front desk staff (who are also bartending) were awesome. Very helpful with recommendations, helped us coordinate taxis, made incredible drinks. We asked them if the item had been turned in and they said no and that the house cleaning staff said they didn’t take it. It wasn’t particularly valuable so it’s a mystery to us as to how it ended up “missing” but other than this we did really enjoy our stay. "
"Our family stayed at Mystic village last week. We had two units next to each other. The staff was amazing and the overall resort exceeded our expectations. Loved the bar and restaurant which was overlooking the river. We had several day trips and the resort coordinated for us. Pool area was nice after a long day of touring. "
