Modern Hilltop Villa With Pool and onsite staff on a 50 acre private reserve

I really don't know if I can say enough about this beautiful home and the incredibly kind and attentive family who cared for us. We stayed at Kukulkan for 7 days with our 3 children, ages 9, 7, and 3, and I'm not sure what we would have done without Leonardo and his lovely family who live on-site and take care of anything you might need during our stay. For us, this was Leonardo taking my son and I to the market and grocery store, taking the whole family kayaking through caves in the jungle (while even kayaking with our 7-year-old son and two children from another family so we could all enjoy the experience together), taking my sons and I on a day trip to Tikal in Guatemala (my husband and 3-year-old daughter stayed behind, so Leonardo also really helped look after our young sons and even got them some chips when he thought they were hungry and some of the Mayan natural chewing gum which was such a cool treat!), taking the whole family zip lining through the jungle (and offered to take pictures for us that we will treasure for a lifetime!), getting us little things we needed from town while he was out, pointing out spider monkeys, howler monkeys, and a toucan as we saw them in the wild on our excursions. And Adelita, Leonardo's wife, came in while we were gone and washed dishes (unfortunately, the dishwasher was broken while we were there), washed, dried, and folded our laundry, cleaned up and restocked toilet paper, paper towels and such, and cooked the most delicious traditional Mayan meals for us on two occasions!!! The kids loved the house and the pool so much they could have just stayed at Kukulkan the entire time, but we all really enjoyed our excursions as a family and have memories that will last a lifetime. We enjoyed family time at the house--relaxing by the pool, grilling out one night on the HUGE deck, and waking up each morning to the beautiful jungle. One suggestion--the expansive windows truly make the house and help provide the jungle experience, but bring an eye mask if you're a late riser. Also, although Kukulkan has A/C in the bedrooms for comfortable sleeping at night, the rest of the house does not, and our 3-year-old daughter developed heat rash a few days we were there. Just something to consider if you have very young children. We are so very grateful for this experience, and we would return again and again!

We had a very enjoyable holiday week in this gorgeous property. The kids won't forget this trip for a long time. Thanks again to Leonardo and family for making it a great experience!

It is close to being in heaven as you can get without actually getting there. The views overlooking the mountains are just spectacular

If you want to go enjoy the jungles of Belize, this home is perfect! We first were going to spend our entire vacation on the beach and do excursions to the jungle; but then I felt like the experience at each location would be totally different and I was right! This home is absolutely beautiful and the views from the backside of the house and pool are unbelievable. There are 3 decks off the back that are huge as well. I always felt secure on the property and in this area of Belize, with Leonardo and Adelita, their 3 children, and 2 dogs staying right next door on the property. Also Leonardo would take us anywhere we wanted to go, whenever we wanted to go. Leonardo and his family helped make our vacation even more special! Leonardo arranged all our excursions and took us there as well. We did the Tikal Ruins, ATM Caves, Medicinal Tour, several trips to town for drinks, food, dinner. Leonardo and Rocky (their dog) took us down the path on property to the river, so we could swim. One night we were going to go out to a restaurant to eat, and since there were 10 of us, Leonardo needed help getting us around, his helper was name, Noel. Noel was taking us to our restaurant they had picked for us, and Noel told us, that was his job for the day, figuring out which places were open and which would be the best place for us to eat. One night Leonardo came over and bbq ribs and chicken for our family. Adelita made flour tortillas and black beans. Leonardo and Adelita and their children joined us for dinner that evening on our huge deck! We all enjoyed this night with them. The home sleeps 10 comfortably. It had very comfortable beds with beautiful views from the bedrooms. All the furniture in the house was comfortable. The house had wifi, which was a big plus for our family. I definitely didn't regret my decision to split our vacation up in Belize and stay at Kulkulkan Villa for the first 4 nights. We enjoyed the beach in San Pedro, but it was a totally different experience in the jungle and definitely very personal. I would go back again and stay longer next time!! Recommend this place!!!

If you are looking for the perfect Belizian Jungle Vacation home-you have found it right here!! We stayed 5 nights with our four kids and they literally cried when it was time to leave. We spent the next five nights at a resort near a beach and each day our 6 yr old would ask "Can we go back to Leonardo's house, please?" The beautiful home, pool and 50 acre private and very secure property are just incredible. Perhaps even MORE incredible is the wonderful family who lives on site! Leonardo and Adelita made our stay just perfect. They were so kind and accommodating. Our 8 yr old son needed an emergency appendectomy our very first morning at Kukulkan Villa. We were so grateful to have Leonardo and Adelita there to help us figure out exactly how to handle this very scary situation. Leonardo even came to visit and brought breakfast and a gift the morning after surgery! Leonardo also accompanied us as a tour guide on a cave canoeing and zip-lining adventure. Many of the Belizian adventures require a tour guide to participate and it was SO wonderful to have a licensed guide ready and willing to accompany us each day! He carried kayaks to the on-site river for us to explore and picked us up downstream two hours later. He accompanied us everywhere we wanted to go and lead the way. He also recommended great restaurants, shopping and Mayan ruin sites in the nearby town of San Ignacio. Such a great little town! The home is very modern, clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The WIFI worked well and the beds were so so comfy! The sun rises early in Belize, so bring some sleep masks if you enjoy sleeping in! Adelita is also a fantastic cook, if you'd like to try some typical Belizian cuisine. She makes incredible breakfast foods with hand-made flour tortillas and the best beans you'll ever have! We also had a delicious rib dinner with them one night and Adelita made a fabulous potato salad and cole slaw.

The experience at Kulkulkan Villa is un-like any we have ever had and one we will never forget! I promise if you choose this property, you will not regret it. We will definitely return to Kukulkan with our family!
