RENT A CAR! This resort is on top of a very large hill and without our car we would’ve needed a taxi to get back up everytime. Would definitely come back. San Ignacio is a very vibrant town with lots to do. This resort was very accommodating to us during our stay. Very clean and well kept. The landscape was beautiful especially for a night walk. The staff was always at our service for anything we needed.

Restful retreat in San Ignacio

A comfortable room, beautiful grounds and swimming pool, and helpful staff made our stay a relaxing escape. The lodge is conveniently located just on the edge of San Ignacio and is centrally located for tours of ruins and enjoyment of the natural beauty of the area. Their restaurant is a convenient alternative to going into town for meals. Highly recommended if you plan to stay in San Ignacio.

Falling Leaves love!

Paula does an amazing job successfully running this great hotel. She is kind, attentive, and is on top of everything. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The location is convenient to ruins and an easy walk down the hill to the town. The restaurant at the property is also very good. Recommend highly!

We stayed in the family house and it was very clean with tons of room. The staff was extremely helpful. Pool was very nice and refreshing. The property is at the top of the steep hill so if you do not have a car and are not very active, you might find it difficult to walk back up the hill, but it’s easy to get a taxi, It very walkable into the main part of San Ignacio if you are of average fitness. Highly recommend this place for families and larger groups.

This is a fantastic property. The staff is so nice and helpful and the food is amazing. The cabana is a great room and it is right next to the Cahal Pech Mayan site. The only thing to be aware of is that there is no door on the bathroom!

The property management and staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and they were very accommodating staying open to check us in. They also ordered food for us from the restaurant which was closing. The feel was very authentic with trees and numerous separate spaces. Our luggage was did not arrive until our third day. They took care of it and had it delivered as soon as it arrived. Would definitely stay here again

Nice place to stay

Well taken care of grounds and facilities. The staff are accommodating and friendly and the on site restaurant, Obsidian is wonderful. We saw toucans every evening and morning when we were there! It is a 15 min walk to get downtown, but only $10 BZD to take a taxi back to the hotel.

Falling Leaves Lodge is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Our cabana was clean and spacious with a large bathroom and nice covered patio. The pool area was lovely and at times we had it all to ourselves. It felt like we were in the middle of the jungle but town was just a 10 minute walk away and the ruins were even closer. We were also able to get picked up for our cave tubing excursion right at the hotel. We had breakfast at the restaurant all three days of our stay and it was excellent with great service. If I return to San Ignacio, (which I hope I do!) I would definitely stay here again.

Only stayed here for one night before doing the ATM tour the next day, but room was clean and comfortable, and staff was very accommodating. They even let us order a very early breakfast so we could eat before going on our cave tour. Location is not super close to downtown area, but right next door to Mayan Ruins, which is fantastic. Great experience, highly recommend.

Several of us chose to stay at Falling Leaves and we were all pleased with our choice. The location is excellent. It's on the hilltop next to the Mayan ruins (well worth seeing!!!) and catches nice breezes. The AC works well. The rooms are comfortable and very nice by Belize standards. Also, the area is very quiet.
