Review of Vanilla Hills Lodge 4*

Look no further. You have found the place! My girlfriend and I stayed in the Hibiscus guest house. It was beautiful! The stain wood interior fit perfectly with the jungle surroundings. The rooms were very comfortable and cozy and we had plenty of privacy. Everything was clean and well cared for, and it was clear that the owners take the extra time and attention to make sure everything is perfect. When we arrived we found lovely fresh cut orchids placed around the house, it was a welcomed display. The site grounds are strikingly beautiful, you really do feel like you're in a jungle oasis. We loved getting up each morning to the sounds of the patriots, toucans, and howler monkeys. The best part of the whole adventure were our hosts. Claudia was amazing, and a God send, she singled handily saved our vacation. We arrived late in the evening in the pouring rain. Claudia came out to meet us with umbrellas and helped us to our cabin. When Claudia found out we had not eaten because of traveling all day she insisted on feeding us a wonderful German Supper. We were scheduled on a tour to see the ATM cave the next morning, but because of the rain Claudia knew it would be closed. She went the extra mile by calling our original tour company (which had done nothing to inform us the cave would be closed) confirmed the closure and then booked us on another tour of Caracol. We are so grateful that she knew we would have a problem because of the rain and that she took measures to help us figure out another activity. Claudia's cooking is also first rate! I'm a self proclaimed foody and everything that Claudia served was top notch. She really is quite masterful in the kitchen; making everything from scratch. You'll find that the food here is a real treat. There is no doubt that next time I come to Belize I will stay at Vanilla Hills Lodge again. You'd be crazy not to stay here!
