Villa CAYO is to the jungle what Condos are to the beach. These air-conditioned, fully equipped, luxury boutique villas provide comfortable, affordable accommodations on a private 12 acre estate focused on ecotourism. Located just 1 ½ mile from the twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena with auto rentals, taxis and bus service easily available making this a perfect vacation destination. The villas are nestled on a terrace overlooking the Village of Cristo Rey Village and the Maya mountains. From the observation deck of the main villa you can see Spanish Lookout and the surrounding countryside. While on the roof veranda you could also be greeted by some of the 225 birds known to occupy the jungle canopy in the Cayo district. Particularly friendly you could be greeted by the Aricaris checking to see if you might have a papaya to share with them. At night the local kinkajou or coatamundi could be in the trees eating the seeds and nuts. Waking up to the jungle mist and the sounds of the chacalaca and parrots can be one of the greatest jungle experiences. The BBQ area is located on a hillside terrace under tall Salam trees that offer food to many of the birds and wildlife of our area. There is a conversation and observation deck available for all of our guests to use. The villas kitchens are fully equipped to allow cooking for special diets or to avoid the high cost of resort dining or local restaurants. There are baking sheets for roasted vegetables, crock pots for slow cooking and a BBQ area for grilling. This excellent location is close to most of the Maya sites, zip lines, caves and cave tubing. The friendly owners can help you arrange your adventure tours. They will strive to make your eco-adventures a safe and relaxed experience without any hidden charges. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transport -

Collins, Colorado - summer in Rand ,CO. 31 Jan 2017 #### Fantastic Place, Views and Hosts! Our stay at Villa Cayo was a fabulous experience. The unit is the best equipped place we've stayed in the 15 years plus we've used VRBO. The kitchen had everything you could want for your stay. All appliances were first rate. The shower, bathroom and hot water system are well designed. The best thing was the king size bed was very comfortable, which is a big deal for us. Ken and Virginia could not have been more welcoming, friendly or helpful. The Crave restaurant which was their number one recommendation for dinner was a great dinning experience. The fact that it is a studio Villa does not do the place justice, it's more Villa than studio. Overall this was a great stay and experience, I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed Villa Cayo. We will return. ##### Scott & Deanna T. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronna W. 30 Jan 2017 #### Breathtaking! A must stay in the Cayo District! Wow, wow, wow! Villa Cayo is an awesome place to stay! I enjoyed myself, felt safe, and felt comfortable staying there. First, the panoramic view and sounds of nature is breathtaking. Next, the modern conveniences available made my stay very comfortable. Finally, Ken and Virginia were so gracious and welcoming. They made me feel like family. Upon my arrival, Virginia took me to San Ignacio, gave me a tour of town, took me to the market, and made sure I was good to go. She also assisted me in the coordinating of transportation and tours for my adventures in Cayo. I had nice conversations with Ken and got to meet their dogs too. It's good to stay in a place where you feel treated very well. I would highly recommend staying at Villa Cayo. Thank you Virginia and Ken! ##### Ronna W.

If you want to experience the jungle on your trip to Belize, this is the perfect spot. You will enjoy the outstanding views and sounds of the jungle. This place is sparkling clean and so comfortable with everything you need right there. You are only a couple of miles to downtown with a quick taxi ride. Virginia and Ken make it so easy for you to do any tour or excursion you wish. We have never had such exceptional hosts! All of their recommendations were outstanding tour guides.

We found the quietness of night sky stargazing one of our favorite parts…. Although the tours, local market, restaurants and Ruins were everything we could have imagined! We will come again….

Arranging guided trips or giving ideas for self guided adventures, foods, and shopping. The place is beautifully decorated, very clean, completely furnished, and cleaned daily with everything fresh upon your return of the days adventure. It is an excellent jumping off point for touring various Mayan ruins, caves and falls. We loved the local area, lodging and Ken and Virginia as well. You will not be disappointed if you stay with them in one of their cottages. ##### David B.

The view was magnificent, the place was close enough to town, yet felt like a true 'escape' in the jungle. I wished we had stayed longer. Virginia and Ken were so helpful: taking us in town the first day we arrived to get groceries, showing us around the town, and helping us organize a tour to the ATM caves. We felt completely at ease at their place. They left us contact information for taxis and other important numbers. All details were considered, from the cookware, comfortable bed, blackout blinds, to the overall appearance of the place. There was a lot of care put into this place and it was greatly appreciated. A wonderful place to stay... definitely our favorite during our travels through Belize. ##### Tassie H. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon L. 16 Feb 2017 #### Paradise! First, I will say that Ken and Virginia went above and beyond to not only make us feel welcome, but to help us get there! We drove in from Belize City a little late after our luggage didn't arrive and we ended up getting to San Ignacio after dark. Google Maps couldn't figure out where to go and we were completely lost in the dark and in a foreign country. Ken and Virginia jumped in their vehicle and met us down the road from Villa Cayo and escorted us up to the property. After a long flight, delays and lost luggage, their hospitality made it all better. Once there, Virginia walked us through the entire condo and answered all of our questions. She even has a list of recommended places to go/eats and cab drivers! It was great to not have to think about that after a long travel day. The condo itself is beautiful. Love that you can drink the water without worry, the kitchen is stocked with anything you need, the bathroom is gorgeous and the views are breathtaking! Truly a find in the jungle of Belize! Ken and Virginia were the most lovely hosts. They honestly care about their guests and went above and beyond to be there for us. They met the cab driver when our luggage finally appeared the second day at 9pm, they kept track of us and their other guests as we came and went to ensure we made it back safely each day and enjoyed our adventures. Oh, and they have the most adorable rescue pups on the property. They are the sweetest dogs! We headed to San Pedro after our stay in San Igancio thinking the beach is what we would rave about upon getting home but honestly, the jungle has our hearts. It is beautiful, peaceful, safe and the people are amazing. We loved each day we spent there and plan to go back and maybe buy a few acres of our own. Thanks again to Ken and Virgina. We plan to see you again soon if you will have us back! ##### Shannon L.

My girlfriend and I stayed here from Jan 24-27, 2017\. We actually planned the start of our trip around a 3 night opening we found in their schedule. Delaying the anticipated start date of our trip to Belize proved to be a great decision once we arrived at Villa Cayo. The accommodations were phenomenal and definitely lived up to our expectations and more. The villa was very clean and comfortable and had a gorgeous bathroom/shower with good water pressure. Although we were busy during our time in San Ignacio, we made every effort possible to simply unwind and spend time at our villa. We bought groceries at Chen's supermarket (recommended by Ken and Virginia) to make breakfast before our ATM cave adventure and our last morning before checkout. We had everything we needed to make a great meal and it was so relaxing to enjoy a meal outside with such spectacular views. We took some of the best sunset pictures with the landscape/mountains in the background! Ken and Virginia were the best hosts we could've asked for. We arrived late after a long day of travel and they greeted us to help with luggage and made sure we were comfortable. They provided recommendations on anything we needed including restaurants, taxis, planning day trips, etc. and even gave us a ride into town our first morning there with a personalized tour of town. They were always available to help and made a great effort to ensure we had a worry free and memorable stay :) Ken and Virginia connected us with a taxi driver named Jose who we ended up arranging a shuttle with after checking out our last morning and beginning our Journey to San Pedro. Jose was super friendly with a great personality; highly recommend him even just for local rides to and from town. Do your self a favor and stay here!! 3 nights is not enough. Before we even left, we were already contemplating our next trip back to stay at Villa Cayo to potentially do a day trip to the Tikal Ruins in Guatemala! Thanks Ken and Virginia!!! ##### Justin K.

My partner John and I had a wonderful time in San Ignacio! Ken and Virginia are delightful, they pre-booked us with a local guide, David, who took us on a tour of Barton Creek Cave and to Big Rock Falls. David, a local of Mayan and Jamaican decent, is extremely knowledgable of the area, plants, history etc. Ken and Virginia provided us with additional information of where to go in the area, ruins, good super markets, etc. Great people, we would definitely stay there again! A beautiful view from the sitting area and our villa, hummingbirds at our window, many birds including parrots flying by, and great sunsets! Very peaceful, we loved it. ##### Tracey G.

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Virginia we knew we were in good hands! We couldn't wait to return to our place every night and watch the sunset, the views are amazing! Virginia even recommended places to eat, taxi drivers and tour companies so that was super helpful! We used Mr. Biaz for our taxi driver and he was amazing! We cannot wait to go back!! ##### Abbey P.

After dumping our bags, Virginia took us to town for a tour, grocery shopping and bank ATM. The view from the villa is stunning and we could see Guatemala. The villa was cleaned daily, and hibiscus flowers were left on the bed. The kitchen is totally equipped and my husband cooked all our meals. The BBQ works well too. Everything in the villa is top notch from the design to the furnishings. Air conditioning was welcome in the heat and humidity. Both Virginia and Ken were a wealth of information about the area. It is a convenient 10 minute bus ride from San Ignacio. ##### Frances E.

Beautiful views Virginia and Ken went out of their way to acclimate us to the area...going so far as to drive us thru town while pointing out points of interest, good eats etc. They went beyond to even assist in scheduling tours, transportation and offering great insight to options to spend our time effectively to see and do as much as possible in the time we had. Very much enjoyed our stay! ##### cara e.

The property was 5 sta San Ignacio is a wonderful small town. There were many activities to do and a variety of places to dine. The villas are 5 star. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. Even though there were plenty of places to choose from to dine, we ate breakfast in the villa just about every morning. It is quite pleasant to watch the sun come up while viewing the jungle and valley just steps from our front door. The villa and property are very clean and maintained well. During the day while we were out, the villa was cleaned thoroughly allowing us to return from a long day to watch the most beautiful Belizean jungle sunsets. Belize is a beautiful country with very nice and welcoming people. We look forward to returning to Belize and Villa Cayo. ##### Eric G.
