“This hotel is true boutique experience in an amazing location with the most wonderful staff!”
My experience at this hotel fulfilled all my expectations! The staff went above and beyond to look after me . My room was beautifully clean comfortable … the location and ambience of this hotel is quite special … definitely worth it ! The on site guides and drivers in particular Santos really made my experience even more special by showing me wildlife I would never have seen otherwise ! Thank you !

“Lovely peaceful hotel in superb setting”
Very clean and staff all very friendly and helpful. Pool area is great to relax after any trips, and food (we had breakfast and lunches) is very, very good. Short walk into town and the hill (slope!) is easily manageable!! Don’t believe anyone who says it isn’t unless you have genuine mobility issues.

“Your best option for staying in San Ignacio, very classy hotel.”
Very nice and charming hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Both bar and restaurant are very good. The bed was really comfortable, which is important to me. The location is awesome, really strategic for trips to Xunantunich, Caracol, and the Green Hills Butterfly Reserve, all of which I would highly recommend visiting while there. The Green Iguana Conservation Project is right on site, likewise highly recommended.

“Great location with friendly staff”
Great location for both walk into San Ignacio and local trips. Hotel staff very accommodating and did everything they could to make our stay smooth. Lovely restaurant overlooking jungle - great to see Toucans in the morning.

“Great views”
We stayed at the beach front house. The view from the main bedroom and living room was awesome. In general the apartment was nice, the main bedroom was spacious with a large comfortable bed, same with living room with dining area and kitchen included. The balcony had both a dining table, hammocks and resting chairs, perfect for breadfast and dinners. A/c in the main bedroom was brand new and worked great.

“Pleasant but dated.”
The hotel is a little old style but the staff in general are very friendly, particularly the manager in the dining room. We have 4 adult children and they were able to stay in a room all together which was perfect. The swimming pool and lounge beds are very nice and so is the bar and cocktails. The hotel is located on a hill just outside the town so was an easy walk down into the town.

“Very poorly run, dated and low quality hotel - very overpriced.”
There was really nothing that we liked. It was a big disappointment. The price is outrageous for the quality of the resort and service.

“Really enjoyed San Ignacio Resort - for us, it was the best place to stay in Belize.”
Food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We really liked the toucans and the howler monkey living in the grounds of this hotel.
