I had an awesome stay with Julie and Gary. Terrific hosts, and a terrific location.
Our stay was wonderful at Wish Willy! Julie and Gary are excellent hosts taking care of any needs! The location is fabulous with a quick walk to town where there are lots of food options. We had pickups directly from Wish Willy for tours.
Julie and Gary are fantastic hosts. They arranged tours for us in advance of our stay and recommended all the best restaurants and experiences. Location is a quick 10-15 minute walk to San Ignacio.
Really great place. Awesome views of the river and surrounding nature (birds, iguanas, etc). Walking distance to both towns. Don't forget to get some salsa.
Julie & Gary made me feel like a member of the family; Ready to aid if/when I needed. Had suggestions for a variety of activities or restaurants. (For me) walking distance to downtown and neighboring San Ignacio (15-20 min walk)Plus benefit to taste some of Julie’s Zucchini’s salsa!!!
Julie and Gary were absolutely fabulous! Their communication in the weeks leading up to arrival was phenomenal. They greeted me with a warm welcome and were extremely helpful in area familiarization. Their cabanas are beautiful and clean and provide the best view in the city. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!
I got a little turned around, and called Julie. She talked me through getting to her place. She even scheduled your for me.

Convenient and comfortable
Gary and Julie are wonderful hosts and even set up a dinner at a nearby restaurant for all the guests (nine of us) who were staying at Wish Willy (which, by the way, is a kind of lizard). The view of the river and the jungle around it may be misleading--it's an easy walk into San Ignacio (across the bridge) to restaurants, the market, and the bus station. We recommend room number one--very spacious with its own deck. Other rooms are pretty small for two people but would work great for one. Julie will set up tours and trips and bus transport is easy to access. The whole place is clean in very informal.
Julie and Gary are amazing hosts. Their place is so wonderful, secluded and accommodating. We had a cute little efficiency with everything we needed. Probably the best part of staying here is the hosts Julie and Gary and their amazing deck high above the river. They were great about pointing out things they knew we were interested in such as birds and other wildlife. Julie gave us a tour of town and offered suggestions for restaurants and good attractions and activities. The places we ate at her suggestion were really good. We did the Raptor Center as well and thoroughly enjoyed that. The place is wonderful, the hosts are incredibly likable and helpful and the deck at their compound is amazing. Hated to leave. Would definitely come back here.
Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They took us for a tour of the town and we enjoyed drinks together on the patio overlooking the river.
Will stay again if we are back in Belize.
