We Stayed 5 Days
Wish Willy Cabanas was perfect for us. It’s walking distance to the market and town. The Riverfront cabana has a narrow cement patio overlooking the river. We enjoyed mornings, drinking coffee and watching the wildlife. Julie immediately showed us around town and gave us tips about the community and where to find what we needed. She and Gary were generous with their time and helped us if we needed anything. We were very

Best VRBO experience so far! We will be back to Wish Willy Riverfront Cabanas.
Before we ever even got to Belize, Julie was unbelievably helpful in making suggestions for things to do. When we arrived, we entered as strangers, we left having made life long friends. From the moment you arrive at Wish Willy Riverfront Cabanas, Julie & Gary make you feel like cherished family. From a lovely welcome drink, to a tour of San Ignacio, where everyone seems to know and love Ms Julie, to evenings spent talking about everything under the sun. On top of that, the cabanas are lovely, with everything you can think of to have a great stay. If you are looking for the perfect place to stay in Belize’s Cayo district, look no further that this place. You will NOT regret it! We will be back!!

A pleasant stay
Julie and Gary are very friendly. Upon checking in, Julie gave us a quick tour of the town and showed us the good places to eat. She provides us beach towels for our ATM tour and is available thru whatsapp calls. The apartment is clean and has a lovely view of the river. Their house is very close to the heart of San Ignacio- less than 10 minutes of walking. I highly recommend it.

Come for the fantastic property, come back for the great people.
We had a great experience. The property is as advertised, great view from the balcony, comfortable bed, full kitchen, nice bathroom. We felt safe and secure the entire time. Julie and Gary are wonderful people, if you have no itinerary, they can dial you in in no time, if you have a full schedule, as we did, they will give you all the tweeks to it, that only a local could. Very nice, hospitable people.
