Just back from my third trip to Ambergris Caye (1991, 2006, 2007) and my third time at Ruby's Hotel. Maybe I should get out more and have a life! However, when you've discovered the proverbial "home away from home", why look any further? Owned and operated by a Hispanic family, they work hard to make their guests satisfied. Most single/double... More

Ruby's is a great place to stay if you are on a budget. I stayed with my friend (we are both 27) in a room with a double bed and a twin bed, full bath, and 2 massive floor fans. We paid 15USD each, per night. We did not have an ocean view (as it wasn't available) but I would... More

Ruby's this place is the most down home and comfortable I've ever been. I don't mean in as in 5 star hotel I mean as in the way they make you feel you are one of the family. I've stayed at Ruby's 5 times and they get to know you as a regular. If you don't like your room just... More

I have been to Belize 3 times and everytime I have stayed at Ruby's for part of the time, and can't wait to go back again! If you want to go to Belize and stay in a Resort and not really see what true Belize is like Ruby's is not for you. Experience the true essence of Belize here!! Great... More

Maybe the rooms on the top floor are better, but I stayed here the night I arrived and went hunting for a better hotel the next morning. The room was on the bottom floor right next to the restaurant and the walls were paper thin. I woke up at 5 am with a noisy group of men right outside my... More

My friend and I stayed at Ruby's for 3 nights in April and it was great. It's not the Four Seasons and we were ok with that - for $40 a night, what can you expect? But the room was clean, the twin beds were surprisingly comfortable, the bathroom was a good size, and the fan worked well! Our room... More

My boyfriend and I spent 10 days at Rubys we loved it the staff and the other guests were great. It's simple no frills if you want the frills you'll be happier elsewhere. We felt safe there it's really convenient. We both would not hesitate to stay there again. Also, we had a blast snorkeling with Lobo at Shark Ray... More

After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and having a small budget to work with, I figured that Ruby's would be an absolute steal for the money. While yes, it was so inexpensive that you couldn't consider it a waste to stay there, I found that it may have been more pleasant to sleep on the balcony or the beach. Yes,... More

After reading all the glowing reviews of Ruby's, we expected a sparse room for a great value, and for the hotel itself to have a good vibe. What we discovered was: a dark, dank pit of a room with no ventilation; an inability to sleep past 5 AM due to the thin walls betraying the movements of every early-rising scuba... More

We read about Ruby's Hotel on several message boards and were convinced Ruby's was for us. We were right! As seasoned travelers in our 50's, we were not the least put off by descriptions of Ruby's as "simple" accomodations. We knew it wasn't a resort at $35.00 US for an oceanfront room! What it was turned out to be was... More
