Falling Leaves Lodge

I adored my stay here and wish I could have stayed longer. First, the staff are AMAZING. So warm, so helpful, so lovely. I am someone who always has a million questions and does silly things like not know how to lock my door-- they were there for all of it with a smiling face. 11/10 staff experience here. Second, the property is so cute! All the nature around the accommodation is awesome. I was told you can sometimes see Toucans in the front tree! While I didn't witness them, if you go be on the lookout :) Third, the location. It is *right* by one the Mayan ruin sites, which makes for a lovely morning adventure (before all the crowds rush in). I will say that this location is at the top of a giant hill.... so there is a trade off of having the peace and quiet/nature with the amenities of being directly in town. I ended up walking down the hill (into downtown) and then taking a taxi ($5 USD) back up one night, and then walked the other times. I would absolutely stay here again. I was traveling as a solo female traveler and had not one issue. Highly recommend.

Beautiful quiet spacious Excellent staff

Falling Leaves Lodge is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Our cabana was clean and spacious with a large bathroom and nice covered patio. The pool area was lovely and at times we had it all to ourselves. It felt like we were in the middle of the jungle but town was just a 10 minute walk away and the ruins were even closer. We were also able to get picked up for our cave tubing excursion right at the hotel. We had breakfast at the restaurant all three days of our stay and it was excellent with great service. If I return to San Ignacio, (which I hope I do!) I would definitely stay here again.

Some of the friendliest and most helpful hotel staff I have experienced. Paula greeted me at my late arrival and made sure I had everything I needed both at check in and throughout my stay, including some great excursions. The ever present bar and restaurant crew Elias and Harim were always there with recommendations and friendly conversation. Be it I had to leave early for a tour or needed advice on bars to visit while in town. Rangel, Kevin, Maria and Helen were busy keeping the room clean and the property well kept. If you visit be sure to go see the turtles in the wishing well and tell them hi.

Beautiful resort

A comfortable room, beautiful grounds and swimming pool, and helpful staff made our stay a relaxing escape. The lodge is conveniently located just on the edge of San Ignacio and is centrally located for tours of ruins and enjoyment of the natural beauty of the area. Their restaurant is a convenient alternative to going into town for meals. Highly recommended if you plan to stay in San Ignacio.

Falling Leaves was wonderful. The staff was amazingly nice and very helpful. The hotel itself is a little dated, but it's well kept and the pool area is brand new and really a cool spot to hang out. The location was close to everything and an easy starting point for tours and recreation. The food at the restaurant was good and was fairly priced. We will definitely stay here again.

The staff went above and beyond when we needed help with any thing. We lost our camera in a river while cave tubing, and the front desk went above and beyond to retrieve it from the tour company and make sure that we got it back. It was not expected, and a refreshing surprise. Food was really good.

We had a wonderful stay here and I would definitely stay again. The staff was all extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant is very good, and if you have an early morning planned for tours you can pre-order your breakfast the night before. We booked the ATM and Tikal tours directly through the hotel and felt very safe and well informed for each tour. Please note if you plan on walking into town lots this hotel is at the very top of a very big hill, it is still close to all of the San Ignacio activities, but just be prepared for a big walk back to the hotel.

The people and the resort especially Paula were very nice and helpful. However, the condition of the resort is poor. The pool area was in disrepair and the hot tub was not hot. Just overall not what we expected for the amount we paid.
