Iliana Paj

Born in the rural village of San Lazaro in northern Belize's Orange Walk District, Iliana grew up surrounded by farmland, fresh ingredients, and the rich traditions of Belizean home cooking. From a young age, she honed her culinary skills, learning to prepare flavorful dishes inspired by her heritage.

In 2004, her world expanded when she moved to San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye—trading the countryside for the Caribbean Sea. Embracing island life, Iliana found her passion in hospitality, thriving on meeting new people and sharing her deep love for Belize.

Now, she brings the best of both worlds to the table—combining the rustic, homegrown flavors of the mainland with the fresh seafood and tropical ingredients of the islands. With a love for hospitality and an eye for detail, Iliana is dedicated to making your experience unforgettable—one delicious bite at a time.
