Vacation rentals with lake access in Cayo District

The development (Better In Belize) is in a somewhat isolated location, with some areas within (including this place) only accessible by 4wd vehicle, which we liked & added to the appeal. Our kind host lives next door so we felt safe. She was super-attentive, provided a great explanation of how everything works & how to conserve water/power as the place is off-grid. The view is breathtaking & at times it felt surreal to be immersed in the beauty. We appreciated the price as it was just my wife & I there & we are not rich so it was great to be able to have this experience vs being too pricey to consider. Our only regret is that we should have booked for longer, but now we know. We HIGHLY recommend the pontoon boat tour as well. We enjoyed 3 (yes 3!) waterfalls on the tour, the fresh BBQ lunch our guide prepared on board was delicious, and they even picked us up at the driveway. I honestly didn't want to share all this great stuff for fear it will be booked when we look to return:)

We had a wonderful stay. We were a family of 6 including 4 adults, a teenager and a toddler under two. Daniel’s place was gorgeous, gated, squeaky clean and even had a crib and high chair which was a dream for travelling with a toddler. Check in and outs were super easy and Daniel was super responsive to any questions or concerns. We let him know the toaster wasn’t working properly and a new one was on our doorstep by the time we arrived at the end of the same day. The pool was right outside the back door and we used it almost every day. It was super close to the local market and a great restaurant just down the road. Don’t pass this one up if you’re staying in the Belmopan area.

Walter was so kind and helpful! Our rental car company lied to us, the car we were given was not 4x4/AWD, which we only realized on the way down the gnarly access road to the house. When we let him know, he made plans with us to help us get the car back up the hill and contingencies in case we got stuck. We had to park at the top and walk, which was actually lovely for the most part, we got to see some cute tiny pineapples growing as well as a gibnut (big rodent creature) on our walks, among other beauties of the jungle. It was raining the morning we left and Walter offered to drive us up, which was a huge help with our packed bags! La Hacienda is a remote jungle adventure! Highly recommended for those seeking peace and solitude, but not for the squeemish or faint of heart! Also, highly recommend the Jungle Splash eco tours, neighbours of the Better in Belize location. Those guys are legit!!

I had a nice, comfy stay at Shaun’s place. It’s in a good location—close to grocery stores and restaurants.

I would highly recommend Ceasar's place! it a hidden gem for anyone visiting San Ignacio, it just like 5 mins away from the twin towns. it's a place where u can unwind and just relax; it's a quiet property with a big river bed space to just enjoy the sound of Mother nature and take a space in some cool fresh water. Caesar have create two different steps to access the river which made swimming a lot easier! it's a picturesque area. Ceasar was very attentive with our check in and he walk around with us and show us around the property and sharing information.
