1BR Riverfront 3rd-Floor | Balcony | Pool

TiffanyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

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.

An outdoor pool deck is visible, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. The deck features a mix of wood and concrete flooring, providing space for relaxation. The sky is clear, allowing natural light to illuminate the area, creating a serene atmosphere.

Jenny’s Villa

Geek Travel GroupRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The photos do not do it justice! It is surrounded by the jungle, and you will need a car, but you should have one in this area anyway. The place is immaculate, Sonia was fantastic, every need was met. The pool is perfect for a dip after a hot day of adventures. We hope to return here again and again.

Gigantic lovely room and home awaits you!

BradRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Maria and Arturo were fantastic hosts! Some of the kindest people ever. Arturo even woke up and made us a super early breakfast at 5:30am before an early tour! Private room was spacious. Good bed. I was a lone to do a little bit of laundry. Everything was as expected. They went above and beyond. True Airbnb style where you get to know and communicate with your host!The house is right next to the road and since there is no AC, the windows stay open for air flow. So there is for sure some road noise at night. It did not bother us though, as the fan in the bedroom is loud and drains out most of the noise.

A shaded outdoor area features a comfortable swing chair suspended from a wooden frame, embraced by lush greenery. A small table with a black object is positioned nearby, and the tiled floor reflects natural light, creating a serene and inviting space.
