About this property

Rio Mantra-1 OR 2 Bedroom with a pool by the river

Rio Mantra is a secluded riverfront vacation home on the Macal River, just a 5-minute drive from downtown San Ignacio. Surrounded by trees and nature, it is the perfect place to relax, enjoy privacy, and still be close to town, restaurants, tours, and the market.

The house is fully equipped for a comfortable stay and features a private infinity pool, beautiful natural surroundings, and a private path down to the river. After a day of exploring caves, Maya sites, waterfalls, or the town of San Ignacio, you can cool off in the pool, listen to the sounds of nature, and enjoy the peaceful riverfront setting.

Rio Mantra is located in a small residential area with a few lovely neighbors nearby, but they are not in view from the pool area, so guests can enjoy privacy while relaxing outdoors.

Wildlife is often seen around the property, including monkeys, toucans, gibnuts, kinkajous, and many other unique visitors. Hummingbirds are also often seen feeding near the infinity pool.

The home is offered as either a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom stay. The second bedroom is opened for reservations of more than two guests. For two guests who prefer separate bedrooms, the second bedroom can be opened by adding the third-guest fee.
The entire house is yours to enjoy during your stay.
We are kids friendly but we do have a pool so watching the kids is under your responsibility .
Please do not smoke inside the house.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful location. You really feel like you are in the rain forest. Lots of animals to see while hanging by the pool. Close enough to the city to be convenient, but far enough to let you feel like you are in nature.

This property is heaven on earth. It was super clean. Laying on a raft in the pool and watching the hummingbirds feed was so peaceful. The host recommended some wonderful activities and knowledgeable guides. The location is convenient to San Ignacio as well as loads of adventure options. We loved it here!

Wonderful place to stay

My family and I (kids ages 4 & 6) loved staying here. The home and surrounding area is simply beautiful and we loved the pool. I would recommend having a rental car to be able to enjoy the area fully (we did and really appreciated having it). Lovely stay and would highly recommend.

Perfect place to stay

Rio Mantra was the perfect place for us stay. It offered quiet and seclusion, without being too far from town. The house, pool and hospitality were amazing. Hadas and Annabel made us feel welcome and the communication was perfect. We would definitely stay here again, if we come back to visit Belize.

Great San Ignacio Base

Rio Mantra more than met expectations of both couples staying here. Hadas is incredibly responsive without being intrusive, and we looked forward to returning “home” at the end of each day.

Fantastic get away!

This place is absolutely stunning! Our host Hadas was great to work with - very friendly and approachable. The back yard is quiet, private, and serene - after a day of activities or even just bumming around town it was great to come back and just relax. Highly recommend, it's worth it!

Absolutely Amazing

We had an amazing start to our Belize family vacation. Hadas, the home, and the amenities far surpass the description in the photos. We wish we had stayed longer!!! Do rent a car Super easy to rent from the Belize airport. Very short drive to many supermarkets and fresh fruit and vegetable stands.

Fabulous stay at Rio Mantra

The house was lovely and clean and well managed. Better than the listing. The pool was clean and delightful. Hadas is an attentive manager but gave us privacy. We took a cooking class at the Eden Valley Mayan Kitchen, toured the Oxmul Coffee and the Green Hills Butterfly Ranch. We took a guided tour to the Caracol Mayan Ruins. A fabulous stay

Fantastic Getaway!

We loved everything about Rio Mantra. It is a great place to land each night after exploring the wonders of San Ignacio and area. We even cooked in one night. We spent most of our time outside by the pool listening to the sounds of the jungle. A toucan came by several days and a family of parrots made a playful racket. It was great!

Excellent property just as described. Comfortable, clean, well appointed and close to everything. We enjoyed a drive to and through several local communities. We stopped and ate at 3 of the places listed in the guidebook along with some that werent.we will likely stay again when visiting the area and have already shared the listing with family and friends. Thank you especially to Hadas for her direction and immediate response to questions.

Secluded, private resort quality home

We loved the location and its proximity to town and places to visit. The home was modern, clean, spacious, and had so many hummingbirds to entertain us. Our host was helpful, super nice, and immediately responsive with any questions and needs. A few notes: the road down is a bit rough and should be initially down before dusk. We had no trouble after that. Connection to WiFi difficult.we will definitely stay there again! We stayed at a luxury resort after in San Pedro(unless you have smalwould recommend Rio Mantra (unless

All You Need in the Jungle

We could not have been happy with our stay at Rio Mantea! Yes, a few bugs and bees made their way in, but this place is really special! It has everything you need and more! We felt spoiled while there because everything you need is at you disposal. Now to Hadas, she was spectacular! Our luggage did not make it on our flight and that made us delayed for check-in. Hadas was understanding and offered for us to leave her local number with the airline to help get our bags to us. Twenty-eight hours later, Hadas was the one communicating with the delivery driver to make it happen! Could not have been more pleased with Rick Mantra and only wish we had planned for another night there!
