My travel buddies and I stayed at the Tropicool Hotel for a week in San Ignacio. It was about $10/night for a room with three beds in it. I believe it was one of the cheaper rooms they had at the hotel. There are two bathrooms that are shared with about 10 rooms in the hotel, unless of course you... More

I stayed there for 4 nights in a private room for 2 with a friend. It was clean and simple and great value. Originally we booked 5 nights and we wanted to change to 4, even during Christmas week, the owners said 'no problem' and we paid for 4 nights. We met some friends who stayed in the shared bathroom...

Moved to Tropicool after being grossed out by the "Central 'otel" 2 houses down the road that we left in disgust after one night. The two hotels are about the same price but oh my word what a different experience is Tropicool! The owners were friendly and helpful, the room and the common showers are clean with hot water. It...

Stayed at the Tropicool for four nights. We were definitely trying to stay on a budget and the price of the hotel room was definitely in our range. San Ignacio isn't a big town, but the hotel is right on the main street and yet is very quiet. Our room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The owners are super... More

I’ve stayed at the Tropicool several times. On my last trip, I looked at other hotels first, then headed straight for the Tropicool. All I can do is parrot what others have said: friendly staff; modest prices; a clean, relatively spacious room; noise-free, being in the back off the street; with table, chair, hangers, rod for hanging clothes; fan; clean...

We spent a night in town in San Ignacio and so wanted a convenient location near the restaurants etc. The main building of the Tropicool was full but there were cabins in the back yard. Our cabin was big and had a screened porch looking onto the yard, behind the main building which in on the street. It was comfortable... More

I loved staying at the TropiCool. At $15/night for a couple, I wasn't expecting much. Our room, while quite small, was spotlessly clean, very secure, and well-screened from mosquitos. We got fresh towels and soap every day. The shared bathrooms are also spotless, with reasonably warm (or at least not cold) showers. We stayed in a room, not a cabin,... More

My husband and I stayed for one week in Feb 2011 at the Tropicool Hotel during our visit to San Ignacio Belize and were extremely pleased with our accommodations. The location is perfect to see all the sights, dine, shop and book tours. Our room was very clean, the shower was hot and the bed was very comfortable. We loved... More

This was our 5th visit to San Ignacio and we have always stayed at different hotels. This time we stayed at Tropicool in one of the cabins out back after seeing the inside of one last July. The cabin was very comfortable and had all that we needed - fridge, kettle with coffee & tea bags, cups, lots of windows,... More

We stayed two nights in late November 2010. Our cabin at the Tropicool was clean, roomy, and convenient, and the price was right. Next time I would ask for the cabin with the screened-in porch. Ours was beside it, and we could not spend time outside because of abundant mosquitoes. Also, the noise from nearby bars and roads was pretty... More
