The Venus Hotel can be a nice economical stay or a complete bummer, depending on which room you end with. This will explain the big discrepancy between the above reviews (all of which are accurate). For our first two nights we were put into a room on the second (third in US) floor (i.e. the floor above the reception floor)... more

The nicest place we stayed in Belize. We were trying to stay on a tight budget on our stay in Belize, but we wanted something clean, convenient, and with some style. This place fit the bill and then some. more

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

Our trip to Belize (first and so far only) found us spending our first two nights at the lovely Venus hotel. All was perfection from the start.

Deciding factor, a little more elbow room and a wonderful internal window. Comfortable beds,... more

This is a great place to stay in San Ignacio and I would highly recommend it to anyone! The hotel is located in the heart of the city and is a safe, quiet, and clean place to stay. The owner, Maria, and her staff are very friendly and helpful. Marie has been renovating the place over the past few years... more

I stayed at Venus Hotel and the staff and Maria Preston are very friendly especially Maria who is the owner. She gave us advice on where to eat and who take us on a tour which we had a fabulous time. I think the greenfarms got it very wrong from my perspective. more

I found the staff curt and unpleasant. This place is more in the line of a youth hostel than a hotel. I... more

Venus is hands down the best value accomodation in Cayo. If you are looking for character, luxury, look elsewhere... if you want all the fixins and some spare change, Venus is key. Large hotel with AC and hot showers, a 24 hour staff is perhaps the most unique of all, so if you arrive late, someone there can still rent... more
