Falling Leaves Lodge

There are only great things to say about Falling Leaves Lodge. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The grounds are great. Christiana made our stay so seamless - she helped us with our booking, sent texts when our tour/guide showed up, provided great recommendations and assured we had all the towels/water/anything we needed. Wifi is good. It is up a steep hill, but taxis are easy to come by. And it’s right next to the entrance of Cahal Petch. Highly recommend!

We stayed for 3 nights in mid May at the tail end of a heat wave. We had 2 king rooms SR3 & SR2 directly under the restaurant. With the ceiling fan and air conditioning running we barely heard a thing and it wasn't an issue. The property is as described on their website, comfortable and with very helpful and friendly staff. Always willing to help. They have recently opened a pool which is lovely to cool down at the end of the day (but there isn't any real shade down there if going earlier in the day). Definitely order breakfast the night before because their restaurant works via a que system so if you get behind other orders it is slower than typical service (in my opinion). We ordered an appetizer one night, put our dinner orders in at the same time then realized the appetizer wasn't enough for the 4 of us. We asked for another one and were told it would come after the dinners. This was for ceviche, something you scoop on a plate, so not the most efficient system. If we were in the area we'd stay here again. Note the hill up is ridiculously steep. You won't be walking up or down, so don't be misled if that's your plan it won't work.

Falling Leaves Lodge was a great place to stay! Christiana in the office was always helpful. We arranged our Tikal tour through Falling Leaves in advance. Great private tour and I am so glad that we chose to book through them. We had breakfast each morning at the lodge. One morning, we needed to leave super early, so we were able to pre-order breakfast and it was ready and hot the minute we stepped into the restaurant. In the evenings, we were tired from our tours and relaxed with a cold beer and dinner at Falling Leaves. Room was comfortable, air conditioning worked, food was good, staff was friendly and helpful ..... no need to go anywhere else!

The staff and location was fantastic, right next to Cahal Pech and feeling like the middle of the jungle! Great breakfast before adventures and amazing evenings sipping wine by the pool. Can’t recommend this place enough! Don’t worry about distance from town, fun walk down, or cheap cab ride back.

This is a lovely place on top of the hills. The pool is new and inviting, especially during the scorcher of a spring this year! Ms. Paula and crew are so friendly and helpful. It was a quiet-no road noise, just the occasional monkey dropping things on the roof at night😊. The ac worked well and the beds were comfortable. The restaurant was delicious, great breakfast and dinners. Just be aware, it is at the top of the hill-a steep long hill to walk up-taxis are available though! The place next door (cahal pech village resort) also has a nice pool and bar you can use for a small fee, for a change of pace)

Cute hotel with great service! Very clean rooms and excellent, friendly staff. Beautiful grounds with wildlife and nice new pool. Staff went out of their way to get us ready for our tours and even provided big spray one day when we forgot ours.

This is the second stay for me and I absolutely love Falling Leaves Lodge. The entire staff treat you like you’ve been a long time friend. The property is beautiful and set on a hill so at night while eating dinner you have a view of the lights of San Ignacio. The food is fabulous! They’ve just put in a beautiful large pool which is the perfect way to cool down and relax from your day. The rooms are perfect and clean with air conditioning and nice showers. I’m a stomach sleeper so the bed was a little hard but still very doable and had plenty of comfortable pillows. This place is my favorite!

Up in the hills a short drive from downtown San Ignacio, next to Cahel Pech ruins...what a quiet spot to relax after a day checking out Tikal, etc. Our room was a bit basic, but very clean and quiet. The pool had just opened and was a very nice addition! But the best part of our stay was Paula who was always available to help...and the wonderful restaurant! We ate dinner and breakfast there every day of our trip to San Ignacio. On the days with early tour pick ups, we ordered breakfast the night before and it was ready to eat when we got to the restaurant. Do not miss the Almond Fish - it is outstanding! It was the best fish dish we had the entire trip!!!

Great place to stay in San Ignacio. Very peaceful and natural (except the leaf blower running a lot). They are almost finished with new pool. The front desk staff, Miss Paula, is the best! She arranged awesome tours and massage and was super patient. Really liked the regular cabana we had. Good restaurant on site. Up a steep hill but taxis always available. I would totally stay there again if in that area.
