    There was none aside from this loud bird that pecked at our window to get up.

    The location was centrally located to activities. We arrived late due to flight delay, yet they had a meal already prepared for us, we called ahead, along with a complimentary signature drink. It was delicious. The staff was amazing and SO kind.

    The location was great. It's next to a Mayan ruin and surrounded by trees and lush vegetation - beautiful. The pool had a tranquil waterfall and warm water. Everyone we encountered was helpful and cheerful. The restaurant had a sweeping view of the valley below, and the food was delicious! Sebastian, our server was amazing and gave us perfect recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Falling Leaves Lodge.

    Everything was great.

    Of all our travels in Central America this was our favorite place. Paula was a wonder. She set so many things up for us, tours and taxi. Everyone from Restaurant staff to Gardner and housekeepers all were friendly and so kind. Food was all fantastic. We loved being on the hill overlooking the city. The jungle environment was so fun with birds. It was a great stay.

    Everything was great! I thought this place had a pool but I wasn’t told where it was or see it but I didn’t explore the entire grounds.

    The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Clean rooms. The restaurant is very good! They were able to make an early breakfast for take away for me when I had an early morning call time for a tour - much appreciated! Cahal Pech archaeological site just next door.

    After breakfast, we were unable to get drinks or snacks till past 4pm, which put a damper on cocktails by the pool. We also weren't able to get anything super early, prior to excursions, so plan for that. The restaurant food wasn't great and was pricey, but that's no big deal since there is so much close by. Great view from the restaurant patio!

    We loved our stay at Falling Leaves Lodge. It's only a five minute walk down the hill to town, and less to the Cahal Pech archaeological site, but it feels like you're in nature. Our room was larger and nicer than expected, and super comfortable. AC worked great, good water pressure, hot water fast. I kept thinking 'I could live here.' The room had bottled water and coffee for us. The new pool area was very nice. The staff was super friendly. We passed multiple other lodging options and remained happy that we had chosen Falling Leaves. It's a great value for money as well.

    The Staff were amazing. Especially Kevin and Paula!! The room was comfortable, but at night there is alot of light that comes in the room. The AC is really cold, which is nice. It is quite a trek to the town center as there are 2 steep hills to go down then back up. Takes about 25-30 minutes or a $5 cab ride each way. It is located right next to the Cahel Pech Ruins. These are some really nice ruins. The onsite pool was very nice too.

    We just spent six days and nights at Falling Leaves Lodge and had a great stay. Miss Paula is a wonderful hostess and her staff is very attentive. She arranged our transport to and from the lodge as well as our tours to the ATM cave and Tikal, both of which were fantastic. Our room was under the restaurant and as others have said there is a little noise during the hours it is open. We had breakfast every day there and most dinners and the food was very good. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it completely. Thanks Miss Paula for a memorable stay!

    The walk up the hill is steep! We walked up after spending some time in Ben's bar at the bottom. After that, we chose to pay taxis $5 USD each way to go into the city for site-seeing, shopping, and restaurants. Our room was under the restaurant which was a bit noisy until 9:00 pm. The food was hit-and-miss, some dishes excellent but others average.

    The hotel was perched on a hill overlooking San Ignacio with beautiful views at night. It is next door to the amazing Cahal Pech ruins which I recommend even if you are planning an excursion to one of the larger ruins nearby. We also enjoyed the iguana rescue center, the chocolate making demonstration at AJAW, and visiting the local market for some shopping and fresh tortillas in the morning. The zipline/cave tube adventure was about an hour's drive and highly recommended. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, especially Miguel in the hotel restaurant. Our room was big with a nice patio and a giant king size bed.

    The bar & restaurant were very quiet, it wasn’t high season but we found a couple of other places nearby which had a lot more people, so a better atmosphere in the evening.

    The staff were very friendly & helpful. Paula organised a lift from the ferry at Belize City & one over the border to Tikal. We felt that all of the drivers were friendly, professional & responsible. We liked the room, the pool & the site next door, Cahal Pech. The weather wasn’t great so we did the chocolate workshop & the green Iguana tour, both good. Shame the caves weren’t open.

    Staff were wonderful and made sure we had all the tours and transports we needed, despite the Tropical Storm. Loved the pool and hot tub. The restaurant had great food. And the location was awesome - right next door to Cahal Pech ruins and just up the hill from town (walkable with a workout or short taxi ride).

    We had an awesome stay at the lodge! Everyone is super friendly and so helpful! They can organize and book many tours for you or just recommend things to do. The room we had was very clean and the food at the restaurant is great! The pool was refreshing! The lodge is directly next to the Mayan ruins Cahal Pech, which is definitely worth visiting! Highly recommended!!! You can see and feel that the lodge is maintained and led with love!
