Jungle Villa with Pool • Sunset Retreat • Villa 9

The home was beautiful and immaculate. Very peaceful, great AC. The pool was amazing. Great base to visit everything in the area. I believe the road has been improved, as there are traction assists on the steepest parts. I did not have to use AWD at all, and my 16 year old daughter was able to drive up without issue. If you've never driven in mountains or are an anxious driver, this might not be the spot for you. Otherwise, a 4WD would be nice but not necessary.

This hidden oasis is a precious gem in Belize. The host was wonderful. Wish we we would have spent more time here. Don't miss out on this home located in the most beautiful location in Belize. Dr Matthew A Johnson

Unique and private setting. For the discerning luxury traveler. Host was proactive and responsive and staff was very helpful when needed. Would book here if I return to the area.

Chill Reservation is a great place to stay! If you want isolation in the middle of the woods and still feel home with all the technology in the world this is the place! Need a 4x 4 vehicle to go on steep roads. This place is phenomenal! With private pool, you can unwind with all the forest friends! Birds lizards etc. They have washing machine as well so no worries if you have dirty clothes. The welcome fruit basket was also greatly appreciated👍! We will be back again!

The space was incredible. The hosts were attentive beyond expectation. While the environment was remote, the home was highly luxurious and modern, with small details in mind. I couldn't help but take full advantage of the kitchen while utilizing the hyper-local food options from nearby markets. Toucans visited several times daily, and I even spotted a monkey in full relaxation mode. I couldn't help but follow. The pool over the jungle canopy area was a space of extreme comfort and the outdoor shower experience will never be forgotten. I did cliff diving and pyramid climbing for the first time nearby. I was delayed in writing a review because I've had trouble adjusting to returning home. This will not be forgotten. Great memories. I look forward to revisiting it soon.

We loved our stay here. The home is situated in a private gated development. It is spotless, modern and beautiful. The outdoor seating area is very pretty and a nice place to relax and cool off in the pool. In the morning we saw 4 toucan in the trees. The beds, pillows and linens are very clean and comfortable. The outdoor showers were wonderful. The AC was nice and cool despite +100 degree temperatures outside. The drive to the center of town is about 20 mins with a grocery store conveniently located along the way. As others mentioned the road to the house is steep and requires a 4x4. Julian’s communication was very prompt and helpful. We would love to stay here again.

This rental at Chial Reserve is beautiful! My family loved the small pool and I found the outdoor shower to be very relaxing. The rental is about 15 min outside of town, to the west of San Ignacio, so expect it to take a little longer to get to some of the area’s activities. However the house was always so peaceful to come home to. I didn’t want to leave. It is just up the road from chaa creek but better, in my opinion, to stay here instead. Julian was very responsive and let me alter my dates which I very much appreciated. I need to give Ines, an employee at Chial, some recognition. He is such a wonderful asset to Chial Reserve. If you need anything while there he will help you out. He is there to get you to your villa (you do need either a 4WD or AWD - we had a Kia AWD and it did ok but we were there in the dry season) and is very responsive to any other concerns you may have. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back sometime.

This is a beautiful place to stay. You definitely need a 4WD vehicle to get there which should be mentioned in the listing. Very clean and modern.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! Julian’s place is stunning…truly a Belizean getaway. Julian was very responsive, answering all of our questions and providing recommendations. The house was well-appointed, beds were very comfortable, and the outdoor space was perfect. Cooked several meals with local goods in the beautiful kitchen. We’ll definitely be back!
