Waterfront vacation rentals in Cayo District

Beautiful building with exceptional staff. The food was absolutely delicious although you had to order and schedule a sitting time in advance which made planning activities a bit more restrictive. The lodgings are incredibly peaceful and quite intimate. It was amazing being so close to the river was and the room was exactly as shown.

Very cute & private feel. Right on the edge of a beautiful river. It has a very bed & breakfast feel to it. They only cook to order & take your breakfast/dinner orders in advance. We were immediately greeted with friendly staff and were served dinner by the pool the first night we arrived. There was only one other couple staying there at the time and we felt as though we had the place to ourselves and accommodations were customized. Lovely little place to stay just a short distance outside of San Ignacio. The riverfront property is a pubic river access but it was never crowded or loud. The access is only used during the day for the public.

Absolutely incredible, I have no words. We had such a wonderful time, we didn’t want to leave. All the meals were delicious and the staff was kind and attentive. We want to come back!!

Simply breathtaking. It is way better than it looks in the pictures. Perfectly placed between the Cayo district for cave exploring and tubing, and Guatemala to visit Tikal. The staff were super friendly and helpful every step of the way. They should apply for a Michelin star- the food was AMAZING. I was happy to have my own car because it is not walking distance to any shops, especially once the sun sets. I would definitely come again!

Absolutely the best place to stay for some peace and quiet. Wonderful host and bartenders.

Mahogany Hall was beautiful. It's outside of town but still very close to anything that you need. The food and drinks were great to have onsite the night we arrived. If you're using Google maps coming on Main Road from San Ignacio, I would recommend skipping the left turn to the backroad it first suggests and going ahead to the fork in the road ahead. If you then take the fork to the left and then take a left on Paslow Falls Road you can skip the rough back road. The RWD we rented didn't like the back road, but you would be better off with a AWD.

Beautiful location although not quite as walkable to town and restaurants as I had thought. A car or a hired driver is necessary especially at night to go to town for dinner. Felt extremely safe. The price was a bit high for not having a kitchen or refrigerator and the AC did not work but it also was not warm outside so we were fine. You’d want to check if it’s working if staying in hot season. The views were absolutely stunning from our balcony area outside our room. It’s a super quiet neighborhood. It was nice to have a bar on site and the breakfast and meals if you reserve ahead was nice. Make sure you eat before heading back for the night if you haven’t reserved dinner because it’s in a residential neighborhood and no restaurants right there. I would definitely stay again . We had 5 adults and we were all comfortable and slept well in our two bedroom

We will be booking this air bnb next time we come back to Belize. We didn't want to leave. The beautiful greenbelt of jungle behind the Villa offered us amazing wildlife viewing when we drank our morning coffee, when we took a dip in the pool, and when we ate our fresh cooked dinners outside. The backyard is really full of Tucans, Parrots, and Kinkajous! The kitchen is beautiful and perfectly set up for a home chef. We loved using the soundbar to wind down with our own music at night. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was amazing too. The host has thought of everything. If you crave a private villa in a beautiful setting, this place is for you.

The pictures don't really do this place justice. We were all blown away by the beauty of the river flowing by, as well as the charm of the bedrooms and common spaces. While we were a little uncertain about how things operate (since we found it on Airbnb, we were thinking more traditional house than hotel, but it is a small hotel that we privatized with our large group), those concerns quickly vanished when I spoke ahead of time about what to expect. When one of our members became extremely sick with a migraine, the staff did such a caring job of helping out with whatever he needed. The food was outstanding! We even had several dietary restrictions in our group (severe nut allergy, gluten/dairy intolerant, vegetarian) and they still made delicious meals. The location was just perfect - off the beaten path but close to the places we wanted to go. Everyone was extremely friendly and looked for ways to help out. We all loved it!

Our stay at Riverside at Hillside – Riverfront Home @ RiverHill in Cristo Rey, Belize was truly unforgettable. The location is magical—perched on a hillside overlooking lush jungle with a peaceful river flowing below. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. Every detail made it feel cozy, inviting, and like a true home away from home. One of the highlights was the private swimming area down the hill along the river—it felt like our own hidden paradise, perfect for relaxing and taking in the natural beauty. The staff were incredible—so kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. Every view was stunning, from the vibrant tropical plants to the gentle sounds of the river and wildlife. It’s the kind of place that slows you down, helps you unwind, and surrounds you with peace and beauty. If you’re looking for a perfect escape to reconnect with nature while enjoying comfort and privacy, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!
