This place is amazing and was the perfect home base for all our excursions. David found us when we were slightly lost because our GPS stopped working and brought us right to the house. Anything we needed we could ask and got a response almost before I put my hone down. The covered pool was cool and really refreshing after a long hot day in the jungle. This place feels like you're in the middle of the jungle but only takes a couple minutes to get into town. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Very clean and tidy as well as a kitchen that a chef would surprised. All of this while being environmentally conscious.
Beautiful property. Kitchen was fully equipped. Laundry room was very helpful as we like to travel with just a carry-on. Hosts were responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.
David was always just a WhatsApp message away with any questions and was very prompt in replying or actually coming to the house.A great please to cook meals for the family and have some quality time together. Loved the sunsets and star gazing from the balcony.
This was an amazing property and it far exceeded our expectations!!! The team - Maria, Hadas, and David were excellent! We booked tours through them and they also helped us book taxis to town. Their customer service was amazing! Definitely do the in-home cooking class with Dora - she's amazing too! We would recommend this place to everyone and would definitely stay here again!
Our group of three couples really enjoyed our stay at the hacienda- what a magnificent location! We loved mornings on the deck just bird watching and listening to the sounds of nature. It was a nice end-of-day retreat after each of our daily adventures in the area (Mayan ruins, river cruising, etc.). Additionally, the staff provided great suggestions for activities and even arranged on-site massages for each of us. The one recommendation we would make is to make the home more suitable for more than two couples by providing a larger bed in the third bedroom.
If you’re in the area, this is a gem. The pictures don’t do justice for the size and quality of this home. All of the Hosts - online and onsite- are super nice. Highly recommend.
Davina is a unique property just outside of San Ignacio. You're close to town, but feel that you are in the middle of nature, complete with many types of birds, plants and monkeys. The house is very comfortable and the hosts very helpful. This was our second stay and probably won't be our last.
From the initiation of our reservation, we were guided by Hadas and David. They supplied specific directions to the property and a wealthy of information about area attactions. The home, deck, pool and grounds are beyond gorgeous! It was difficult to leave! Our entire stay was seamless, peaceful and very enjoyable. Hadas and David were always available on the VRBO app if we had questions.

This place is wonderful and full of Italian character. David, our host, built the house and is very knowledgeable of the area. If you want a peaceful, private jungle getaway, this is the place for you. It is showing some age in places, but we prefer to stay at properties with character instead of the modern, sterile feel that many rentals have. There is no cheap, generic B&B art in this house. It is authentic and charming.
Breakfasts on the deck were relaxing, as were evenings in the pool.
Maybe it's a stretch to call it the jungle but for a Southern California boy it's a jungle. Listening to the Howler Monkeys and the birds all day and night was absolute paradise to me. Told my friends, that would be my husband and 4 others that "I've got this". It's going to be great.... that just doesn't even begin to start.... I have this gigantic smile and good feeling overcoming me just writing this review..... amazing..... I want to use the "F" word and every other expletive in front of amazing to describe it. I just walked around looking at everything I could take in, trees, plumeria (frangipani to you Easterners), Orchids, air plants just growing in the trees and hanging to the ground.... a Tropical Enthusiast's dream come true.The house was every bit of every thing we had hoped for... it fit to a tee every description and way it was presented online. David who runs the place is there if you need him and not if you don't. I would say "transparent" to your stay yet there to any degree you need him. I would say that after having stayed in San Pedro and kinda putting our finger on a spot to be centered for the second half of our trip and hoping it would be central to activities, ruins, cave tubing and quiet you could not pick a better place. This is the kind of place you dream your vacation will take place. The accommodations were spectacular and in no way do they need to defend any little thing... I could go on and on but am out of space. This place is FANTASTIC!
We absolutely loved staying at Villa Divina! The house is beautiful and spacious, surrounded by nature. From the Social Flycatchers building a nest by the pool to the Howler Monkeys in the trees in the front yard, we felt constantly connected to wildlife. What an amazing place!
