Falling Leaves Lodge

A fantastic 3.5 star hotel. Though not located in the center of downtown San Ignacio, the hotel is literally right next to the Cahal Pech Mayan ruins. Meanwhile, city center is just a short 7 min drive down the hill. The rooms here are huge. My cabin (Cabin 1) even came with its own giant private hot tub on the veranda. The whole environment is very jungley, so be prepared for plenty of little critters everywhere. But hey, if you're coming here, then you're here to experience nature right? The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. Christiana at the front desk is fantastic. If you're coming to San Ignacio, I'd definitely recommend a stay here.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Paula who works the front desk addressed for a taxi to take us to Xunantunich for $40usd and the driver waited there for us while we explored. Kevin the groundskeeper was full of recommendations during our stay. The property is located right next to the Cahal Pech Ruins and is located on top of hill. It's about a 25 min walk down two steep hills to reach the town center or you can take a taxi for $5 each way. The property was very nice and had alot of birds around. Aracaris, Chachalacs, Vireo, etc. The room was worth the cost. AC was very cold, water pressure was very good with hot water. They also mention the tap water was filtered and drinkable, but we just chose to use it to brush our teeth with it. There is filtered water available in the onsite restaurant to refill your own bottles. The bed was a lil hard and there is alot of exterior lighting that comes in during the night. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Falling Leaves Lodge.

First time in this part of the country and it was great. Loved the quiet area and the staff was great very helpful.

Paula was a super host. She met our every need. The pool has a certain feel, like a natural pool in the jungle. All staff was very helpful.

We loved our experience at Falling Leaves Lodge. We rented the Stonehouse Room for a family of four with two teens. We had plenty of space. The room was very clean and well appointed. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful, but so close to town. The pool was gorgeous! Food at their restaurant was very convenient after a long day or for breakfast before we set off. The price was perfect as well!

We were celebrating a birthday and wedding anniversary with a short stay in San Ignacio and decided to stay at Falling Leaves Lodge. We stayed in one of the cabanas and truly enjoyed our stay. They even decorated our room for the occasion. The room was comfortable and clean with a small fridge and coffee maker, with easy access to a nice pool for cooling off in the afternoons. The lodge restaurant has a nice view over the valley and we enjoyed a couple of dinners there. We loved the quiet location and convenience of being able to walk next door to the Cahal Pech Mayan site (that is definitely worth a visit). Paula was very friendly, had lots of information for us, and was extremely helpful, including arranging a driver to take us to the Botanical Garden when their tour van broke down. We appreciated the recommendation from Kevin to visit Ajaw Chocolate & Crafts for their demonstration and tasting. Everyone was friendly and kind and helped made it a great trip. We will definitely go back!
