I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place! Our friends recommended it, and it exceeded our expectations. First, the location is absolutely perfect. You don't want to stay in town...this is close enough to it (about 10 minutes by taxi) and still feels like a super quiet jungle retreat. Claudia and Franklin are the NICEST most accommodating hosts. They called us taxis, gave us recommendations for dinner, excursions, even tips for our stay at the beach in Placencia 3 hours away. Everything we had for breakfast was absolutely delicious. And the setting...just gorgeous. We heard from Franklin they have been there for 8 years, broke ground using machetes and then purchased surrounding land so they could maintain the quiet, private property they imagined. Their hard work paid off! We loved being greeted by hummingbirds, the sweets bunny rabbits and the adorable kitten Josefina. :) Our guesthouse, the Orchid house was WAY bigger than we expected for only 2 of us, with a beautiful porch facing the jungle, the most incredible woodwork, unbelievably clean and well designed, because Franklin is a contractor and knows his stuff! We never heard the other guests because the guest houses are situated far enough away that you have complete privacy. We especially loved the little touches like flower petals sprinkled everywhere upon our arrival, animal shapes with the towels that were different every day. On our last night we were even greeted by cookies! I cannot imagine a better place to stay in San Ignacio. After long days of adventuring, THIS is what you want to come back to. I highly recommend it!!
