Everything about Alma del Rio was amazing! The houses are beautiful and the garden/forest is part of each one. We spent all of our time at the houses on the porch watching the birds and listening to the frogs and monkeys. If/when I go back to Belize I will stay her again!

The porch and kitchen became a focal point for our family, with EVERYONE spending time there instead of individual rooms. This was great because often people tend to go do their own thing, and due to the feng shui of this villa, it seemed to me that everyone was naturally drawn to the communal spaces (especially once someone misses seeing a toucan).

Peaceful time in nature

We loved the place, the houses were beautiful with some high quality wooden furnishings. We spent some very peaceful mornings reading and watching birds, although no toucans for us unfortunately. Overall a wonderful way to end our time in Belize. Dora was super kind and helpful at check-in. The provided guide to San Ignacio was also super helpful. check in

Beautiful Home in the Jungle

Our family of 5 (3 kids aged 17, 14 and 8) stayed at this property in early January. The property is absolutely beautiful, and the home(s) were so well cared for and gorgeous. Having the river right behind the home was fun for fishing and exploring. Also we always felt very safe not only in the area but the home also has a locked gate to enter and exit. There were all of the amenities we needed for our stay. The property is known for being environmentally friendly and is open in many ways to the outdoors. If you aren't the outdoorsy type or don't like camping this may not be for you. We loved being able to have the open showers, opening the doors to the screened porches and seeing wildlife right there. That also did present the risk of spiders and ants in the home. We were prepared and helped the spiders out and sprayed Off for the ants so it wasn't a huge deal after the first night.We aren't big planners but the owner and property manager were so accommodating. I messaged late in the evening a few times asking for help with excursions and they were so sweet and easily had things lined up for us the next day. We highly recommend the ATM tour but be sure to bring socks and read reviews. The property is very close to town with a grocery store right down the road and most of the attractions a short drive away. Overall, it was a great stay in San Ignacio and this property did not disappoint.

This property could not be better. The two houses accommodated our group of 9 perfectly. Check in was smooth and it was so helpful that the property owner met us there to explain everything about the property. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful accommodation or property. You are truly in the jungle and right on the river. Our group loved paddleboarding in the river and watching the wildlife from the screen rooms. This is a location not to miss!
