Virginia, Ken, and Luis were exceptional hosts! We enjoyed being up on a hill with a breeze and a sparkling pool. It was private with gorgeous views of the hills. A great location with only a 10-minute drive into town. We would for sure stay here again!

Everything was incredible!!!

Being able to order breakfast to make yourself in your room was incredibly helpful. Some days--we were being picked up at the villas at 8AM for excursions and it was really nice to have everything we needed in the room to cook ourselves a hearty, filling breakfast before a long day of events. The information booklet in the room is quite helpful. We also had our laundry done one day and it was folded so nicely when we got back from our day, and some items had even been hung to prevent wrinkles. The staff really showed hospitality in more ways than I can recall.

I would say one thing at night coming up the driveway could be dangerous. Also if two cars don’t fit in, it leads to backing up on a very narrow hilly driveway.

Loved everything about this place , location and the apartment itself .

We were greeted by Virginia, her friendly pups and 2 toucans upon arrival. The property is a 10/10. The view is stunning and sunsets are a must nightly. We stayed in cabin 4 and it was absolutely perfect! Literally spotless! The air conditioning was perfect and the cabin had every amenity possible. The infinity pool was fabulous for afternoon dips to cool off and the chair floats were an added bonus. Please come stay with Virginia and Ken! If you don’t you are honestly missing out!

Nothing much to complain about!

The birds and the sunset views!

The owner and staff were amazing! The location is remote and has great forest and wild life and is less than 10 mins from San Ignacio center. The villas are modern and very clean and comfortable. The dark sky there if you are into stargazing is amazing! Highly recommend it! Honestly, the owner thought of her guests and any convenience you think of, it is there, like water pitcher and glasses in the fridge.

The bed was the one Achilles heel. Though there was a topper, it was way too soft, like sleeping on a marshmallow. Not enough of a turn off to keep us from staying there again though!

The staff were very accommodating and the view was spectacular. Close to town, but still like a world away. The website does not do this retreat justice. Way above our expectations and wished we booked a longer stay.

Very peaceful property with loads of amenities including a nice infinity pool. Virginia and Kenny were very kind hosts who put up with many of our requests. Thank you for a wonderful stay ❤️

It would have been nice to have been given a heads up for the planned power outage so we could have better prepared for our travel day.

The sunsets at Villa Cayo must be among the best in the country. The grounds are stunning and very secluded, I highly recommend having a vehicle if you plan to stay here. The pictures don’t do this place justice, it’s spectacular.

A beautiful room overlooking the pool and lush jungle surroundings. Very comfortable. Loved being awoken by two parrots briefly tapping on the windows.

The road noise during the day. But you should not be spending too much time during the day there. So.much to see

We loved this place. The room was just right for two. The kitchen had all that we needed to cook dinner the three nights we were there. Not too far from town.

The mattress was softer than I prefer, but I got excellent sleep despite that. The shower vacillated between warmish to hot.

Wow. An extraordinary location in the hills above San Ignacio, away from the town noise and congestion, but a thirty minute walk or ten minute taxi ride to the center. Quiet, except for occasional dog barking, and so beautiful. We loved the villa and all the amenities. Everything we needed was provided. The room was spotless. Would gladly stay again.

Some of the windows were hard to lock and we needed several retries. Also, if you are afraid of dogs, it might be better to stay in some of the other villas as the owners are living in the main villa below the one we rented and they have multiple dogs. They are friendly but they bark a lot and can be loud and intimidating at times.

We had the Deluxe Villa with the 139m² and it was amazing - it is a rooftop villa with external showers and outdoor kitchen, the view was just amazing and the pool (just built, brand new, gorgeous) just two stories below us! Location is very good, a little outside of the city. There is a room service available every day and it is very clean and you have everything needed (including coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and a lot of utensils).

It was a tad farther from town than we thought, but worth it!

The views are amazing! The villas were clean and well equipped. The staff was efficient and helpful.

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.

Great place to stay with friendly hosts. Villa Cayo is only a few 3.5K from San Ignacio which is great for restaurants, shops and grocery stores. Located on a hill above the tree line gives you the jungle feel with great sunsets. A well maintained touch of paradise.

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.

Especially beautiful location. Very comfortable and appealing accommodation.

Nothing

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.
