The lodge has the kindest and most helpful staff. The cabins were clean, well-stocked, and a joy to stay in. I saw several Toucans, and the food was fabulous!
Unit was fully furnished, and even came stocked with coffee for our morning dip in the pool! Incredible hospitality, and perfect location for those who like it a bit quieter. Will definitely recommend, and stay again when we come back. Thank you so much, to the entire team!
My room with a thatched roof was cozy and comfortable. Lots of hot water in the shower! Staff very friendly and helpful. I ate in dining room a couple times. Food and service excellent! Within walking distance to food stores, bank, some restaurants. Look forward to staying here again.
Very friendly staff. Pool and hiking trail onsite. Restaurant had great options. It's close to town and the tour companies will come pick you up. Wifi in the room was good.
The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was great. The property's jungle setting and landscaping made me feel like I was in a jungle. And while not a nightly occurrence, having howler monkeys howling the first evening really set the tone to remind me I wasn't in California. A special callout to the staff at Fiona's restaurant, the food was great, but talking with the staff there was super fun. I would recommend Maya Mountain Lodge to anyone and everyone.
Outstanding communication before and during our stay. The grounds were beautiful. Best dinner of our 3 week trip at the restaurant. Would definitely recommend!
I loved this place and wished I could stay longer. My room had a tilapia roof and it felt like a cozy nest. Lots of hot water in the shower! Staff all amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, super helpful.
Tried restaurant twice. Food, service , ambience wonderful.
Convenient walk to town and stores, bank, etc.
Last but not least the resident cat Luna made me feel right at home.
Great place - comfortable, friendly, relaxing. Not upscale or fancy, but thoughtful and perfect for a couple. Very well run, lovely staff, beautiful jungle setting, and just a 20 minute walk into town.

It’s very cute, good location, excellent surrounding area of each little cabin. Laundry services and they seem eager to be helpful in every way.
The resort is in a delightful location. The location makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle. Laying in bed listening to Tucans calling was amazing.
The pool is amidst trees with lots of local birds, including tucans flying overtop.
A nice hiking trail on the resort.
Close to all the local activities with pick up at the hotel.
The cabins are privately located apart from each other and the kitchen amenities allow you to cook in the room if you’d like to. The restaurant has a great menu and the food is amazing!!!
Highly recommend to solo or families travelling in this area
Very nice lodge, especially all info about trees and other species. We loved the fire pit and the candles they lit every evening. The rooms are basic and thin walls. The resturant was ok, the breakfast menu was great with a lot of options. Definitely stay here again for a few days. Its 2 km from town, so a car is recommended.
Loved my stay here, its cool lil spot tucked away in the jungle. Really cozy rooms and nice on-site restaurant where you can grab breakfast in the mornings and dinner after long day of exploring. Wonderful staff!
The room and the kitchen were spotless and very adorable. You are treated with kindness. Even the cleaning staff remembers your name. We love this place. We’ve already booked a stay for next year. The jungle is just beautiful. The restaurant on site named Fiona was excellent also. You would do well and be very happy staying here.
