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!!

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!

We stayed in a beautifully designed tree house, the pool was lovely and the restaurant and bar area were very nice. It’s overall fairly well maintained but a 10 min drive into San Ignacio (20 USD return taxi). Menu at the restaurant was good (limited for vegetarians), welcome cocktail was excellent. The hotel organised tours and transfers for us - it’s worth checking the details as there were a few mix ups. It’s expensive for a 3 star and the hotel could improve some services to make you feel like you are getting good value for money. We are comparing this to a 3 star hotel we stayed in at Caye Caulker which was exceptional all round!
