This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay--it exceeded our already high expectations! This was our first trip to Belize, and if we come back (which we plan to do!), we would definitely look to stay at Aliana's again.
The house and grounds were immaculate and well cared for. The hosts and groundskeeper were around frequently, and were friendly and welcoming. The house itself was lovely and cozy, with little touches that made it feel like a home. We loved having a fully equipped kitchen, a nice sitting area inside and out, air conditioning, and access to a laundry room. We also loved the big yard with trees and flowers, and being able to walk right down to the river! They also have a really nice outdoor kitchen and seating area that would be fantastic for entertaining (especially if you stayed here with a larger group--definitely possible since there are several different villas on the property). It's definitely a place where you want to spend time and linger.
As the hosts note, it is about a 20 minute drive from downtown San Ignacio, which may not be ideal for everyone. However, we enjoyed having a secluded place to stay that was still close to everything we wanted to do.
