Traveler Reviews on San Ignacio

Venus Hotel

Jul 17, 2008

The room was fine, only the shower/toilet/sink was in the corner of the room and though it had a wall round, it didn't go to the ceiling and had western style bar swinging doors. All in all the bathroom wasn't that private so be prepared to share all with your room mate! Also our room door didn't feel that secure,... more

Casa Blanca Guest House

5 of 5 stars
Western Australia
Jul 15, 2008

The Casa Blanca is right in the middle of town and close to some great restaurants, bars, internet cafes, post office and buses. Eva's, one of the best places for breakfast, is right opposite. Guests can also use the kitchen and lounge at the Casa Blanca. The owner is very helpful and went out of her way to organise a... more

Cohune Palms River Cabanas

Jul 14, 2008

I discovered this place while researching our trip on the internet and it totally exceeded my expectations. The setting is absolutely beautiful. The four thatch-roofed cabanas sit among jungle trees and pretty gardens overlooking the Mopan river. Our family of 5 comfortably stayed in one of the cabanas that had a loft. It was clean and nicely maintained. It had... more

Maya Mountain Lodge

Bay Shore, New York
Jul 13, 2008

I absolutely loved everything the lodge had to offer, friendly staff, amazing food, awesome excursions. Hated the bugs, I understand we were in the jungle area but I just wasn’t expecting that many bugs in my room. Fortunately my boyfriend had read reviews on other sites and brought duct tape to cover the open areas on the windows and door... more

Ek' Tun

Jul 12, 2008

The lodge is located in a beautifull and select enviroment into the jungle with a beautifull natural blue pool with runing water straight from the rocks and mountain. It has two lodges with two rooms each far apart one from the other for privacy ,surrounded by nature, streams of water, noises of frogs all sorts of insects and a wonderfull... more

Maya Mountain Lodge

Olympia, Washington
Jul 11, 2008

We had a great 4 night stay at the Maya Mountain. We were there with our 2 boys, ages 15 and 17 and it was a good experience for all 4 of us. We enjoyed the large family cabin we stayed in, with it's palapa roof and regional architecture. The staff was very friendly and the food terrific. I highly... more

Casa Blanca Guest House

Jul 10, 2008

The Casa Blanca Guest House is the best hotel in its class in San Ignacio/Santa Elena, Cayo. I have stayed there 5 times now over the years, from a few day to a week. I would not stay anywhere else. I have paid a lot more for a lot less elsewhere in Belize. The hotel is super clean, safe and... more

Ka'ana Boutique Resort

New York
Jul 10, 2008

We recently returned from our trip to Belize where we spent four amazing night at Ka'ana. After the friendly and accomodating staff gave us the grand tour of the property, we knew we had made the right choice. The grounds are gorgeous and immaculate. The rooms could not be more comfortable. (we visited another popular resort during our stay, Chaa... more

Hidden Valley Inn

5 of 5 stars
California
Jul 9, 2008

We stayed at Hidden Valley as a two part vacation with the first 4 nights here and the second four at San Pedro. The Resort, Staff, & Food are excellent! We would highly recommend taking the time to stay with Hidden Valley. All of the waterfalls on the property are gorgeous, and when we were hiking we felt as though... more

Maya Mountain Lodge

Jul 7, 2008

I stayed in the main lodge with my adult daughter in June 2008. The lodge sits on a hill outside the town of San Ignacio. The fact that it is located in a rain forest offers positive and negative aspects. Positves: the staff and owners were very pleasant and helpful, the grounds were well kept and the location was great.... more

duPlooy's Jungle Lodge

4 of 5 stars
Washington DC, District of Columbia
Jul 7, 2008

Myself and 7 friends stayed at Duplooy's at the end of June and we enjoyed the experience. The hotel isn't for everyone though. There is no air conditioning and we encountered many bugs/spiders while we were there. We stayed in Las Casita and the house was perfect for our group. There are two king beds (one on each floor) and... more

Coming from NYC to CHAA with a connection in Houston was far too long I left my apt at 5:15am NY time and did not arrive at check in until 5:30PM belize time. If I ever return to belize I will go before May when then have direct flights, the connection and the drive was too much. I went with... more

Iguana Junction

Jul 6, 2008

On our recent short 10 day trip to Belize we needed a tranquil spot to really unwind. Iguana Junction was perfect, on the bank of a swimable river and almost imersed in jungle - it provided a "Back to Nature" feel with everything you need to chill out properly. We particularly loved spending an evening on the hammocks in the... more

Ka'ana Boutique Resort

Los Angeles, CA
Jul 5, 2008

Decided to stay at Ka'ana based on the reviews on TripAdvisor and was pleasantly surprised to find that our stay was better than expected. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the casita was beautiful, the location great, etc. What was surprising was the romantic and PRIVATE ambiance - stayed 4 nights and hardly ran into other guests! For extra... more

Cahal Pech Village Resort

5 of 5 stars
California
Jul 4, 2008

My wife and I stayed at Cahal Pech for the first half of our honeymoon. We stayed in one of the cabanas. The weather in August was humid, but we never felt the need to turn on the AC. The food was WONDERFUL. I still miss the breakfasts. The staff was very friendly and helpful. When we left after 5... more

duPlooy's Jungle Lodge

duPlooy's is a very unique experience. It will be an excellent one for some, and an absolute nightmare for others. For my husband and I, we had an unforgetable stay and will remember it fondly for years. That's not to say that there could not have been some improvements.......... duPlooy's can best be described as "unpredictable". You won't be able... more

Lodge at Chaa Creek

5 of 5 stars
Columbus, ohio
Jun 29, 2008

We just returned from 5 nights at Chaa Creek and would definitely stay there again. We are a family of five and stayed in the Spa Villa which was perfect for us. The spa villa is separated from the rest of the cottages so we really felt like we had our own place in the rain forest. The property is... more

I was here in Jan 2008 with my boyfriend. We loved it so much!!! Awesome cabins. On your own, beautiful view of the valley and waterfalls. Fell asleep to the sounds of the falls. Great tours!! Waterfalls, caves, ruins, horseback rides!! I would go back in a heart beat. If you are wanting an awesome jungle experience, give yourself at... more

Mayawalk Tours

merida, mexico
Jun 27, 2008

We went to Mayawalk tours after reading a favorable review in Lonely Planet. We did their Caves Branch cave tubing tour for $75 each, which was too expensive for the service we got. We booked the tour the day before, but the agency failed to mention that their guide had the day off the next day. So their plan was... more

Hi-et

4 of 5 stars
merida, mexico
Jun 27, 2008

After a disappointing night in Elvira's, we discovered the Hi-et, which, for a few dollars more, gave us a private bathroom and a much better quality room. A double room cost us $25. The Hi-et is a family-run hotel in a colonial style house. To get to the rooms you have to walk through the house, past the kitchen and... more
