Jungle Villa with Pool • Sunset Retreat • Villa 9 - Villas for Rent in San Ignacio, Cayo District, Belize

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!

House was amazing!  Will rent again when we come back!  You have to have a 4WD vehicle!  So worth it once you get to the top!  Outside shower was amazing!

We enjoyed every part of our stay here. Clean and modern

Loved it! Amazing location. Had a tray of fresh fruit, water and drinks in the fridge upon arrival. Really enjoyed the outdoors showers. Just as beautiful as the pictures . Definitely need a  4x4 to get to the house. Will absolutely stay here again!

Located in a gated and secure community above the Maya Flats airfield, Chial Reserve felt very safe and secure. This is an absolutely stunning space in the jungle part of San Ignacio. We were nervous that our AWD car rental would not make it to the property, but it handled the gravel road just fine. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool after a long day of sightseeing. The kitchen had everything we needed. Julian was helpful in recommending Mayawalk tour company for our Actun Tunichil Muknal cave excursion as well as excellent private chef services by Chef Ennel. We were spoiled with ultra comfortable foam king beds, plush pillows and fluffy towels. We had the best sleep during our stay. Thank you, Julian for a memorable first-time trip to Belize!

This was was great! Gem in the Jungle. Very clean and very modern.

Julians place was excellent. The location was nestled atop a small hillside surrounded by jungle, just what we were looking for. The drive up to his place was up a fun, dirt road (4x4 recommended) and his place was incredible. The unit was clean and ready for our stay. It had updated furnishings and a fantastic view of the jungle around. Julian was great with communication on his end, providing check-in information prior to our arrival. Upon arrival he checked to make sure we were able to get settled. Additionally, during our stay he checked to see if we had everything we needed, and provided us the contact to his security in the off chance we did need something. He also provided us with a list of outfitters for the area, and offered to book us on an excursion one night during our stay. Julian was a terrific host with an excellent BNB. I highly recommend his place and would stay there again if our travels find us in his neighborhood again.

Clean, modern and new construction minutes from the maya flats airport and centrally located for inland jungle adventures. Drive to town is 8 minutes. Thanks for the stay!

Amazing home, awesome host! I would definitely stay here again.

OMG! This place is just beautiful. The outdoor shower and pool was so relaxing. Julian and his staff was so helpful. Definitely will be coming back.
