Pedro's Inn is a must stay if you're heading to San Pedro. It's almost become a second home for me as well as many of the local ex-pats, and I'd make a special trip to Belize just to stay there (actually I have - twice!).

Peter, Walter, and the crew make everyone feel right at home - Peter is extremely affable, and the amazing Walter, well, you've got to meet Walter (ask to see his skydiving video, it's hilarious). Everyone will go out of their way to make sure you have a great time on the island.

If you're looking for five star luxury, please, go elsewhere. However, if you want to enjoy life to its fullest, meet new friends from all over the world, and enjoy some great beer and a few shots of Jagermeister with great people - this is definitely your place.

The rooms are spotless, the mattresses are soft, and the sheets are better than those I've slept on in the Venetian in Vegas. Consuelo will make your laundry look like new, too. Free Internet, WII and pool, and the some of the best pizza I've ever eaten (I recommend the meat lover's special with cilantro). You can't beat the price anywhere on the island, either, so what more can you ask for?

If you're headed to San Pedro, don't even think of staying elsewhere else. Pedro's Inn is the greatest!

Worst place in 7 months travelling

Simply the worst place we have stayed in many months backpacking. Hot, stuffy, beyond tiny "rooms". Its a barn with thin plywood walls so you are 1/2 inch from the person/s in room next door. You will never sleep for. There are not even any electrical sockets to charge an ipod - owner is that tight. The owner constantly had his mates and cronies in the back room of the bar playing poker. As beers cost same in the pokey bar as in best bars in town I couldnt see any reason to be there after day one....its not like you were made to feel welcome in any way.. Seedy just doesnt cover it.

Owner was also charging different people different amounts and was not telling the truth. For example, he said we had got the last room on the phone.... but only if we booked for 7 days at an inflated price even though we only wanted 4. He made it sound like we had no choice and made us pay up front. Then the place was very clearly far from full when we arrived. Others we spoke to got even worse fleecing that us. In the end we left 3 days early despite having paid in advance.

I have travelled all over the world and stayed in lowest/basic/scumholes to 5 star and this place, and way it is run, left the nastiest taste in my mouth to date. Its truly beyond me how there are so many glowing reports. Everybody we spoke to who was there at the same time as us was equally unhappy.

Do yourself a favour - go elsewhere. Anywhere at all

We stayed at Pedro's for 3 days this past Febuary. It is a simple hostel, a little off the beaten path, but also half the price of any other place in town. 2 beds in the rooms we had, and a shared bath/shower, but I also believe they have rooms that are upgraded for a bit more$.

It has a bar downstairs, that often hosts charity poker tourneys, as well as other events....most pub crawls end up here at the end of the night, so just go upstairs to bed........not to mention has the best pizza I have ever had!! Definately get the shrimp pizza.

We couldn't have asked for a better host in the owner Peter!!! Very helpful and pleasant. He even came to see us off at the airport the day we left, and took us around town on his golf cart (main vehicles in San Pedro)

We would definately return to San Pedro, and most definately stay at Pedro's. Peter can also arrange dive trips, as he knows most of the tour operators in town.

If you are looking for pub crawls....we met some people there who organize them and you can find that info out at [-] .

We discovered Pedro's Inn whilst staying at another overpriced hotel on Ambergris Caye, and switched over as soon as we could.
Large, spotlessly clean, air conditioned deluxe rooms with own bathroom, satellite TV and super comfy beds gave us the perfect hideaway from the Belize sunshine. And Peter's bar ticked all the boxes with ice cold beer, free flowing Jaegermeister, live football matches on the big screen, a pool table, amazing pizza, and of course its super-genial, wickedly funny host Peter.
Pedro's Inn manages to strike that perfect balance between giving you exactly what you want (privacy, peace, comfort, booze...) without forcing you to endure over the top americanised over-friendly "service".
Couldn't recommed it enough.....only wish we were back there now!

We had a great time staying at Pedro's. We rented 1 deluxe room & 1 basic room. Clean/ Comfortable/ A.C/ T.V. The bar next door is a good place for a cold Belikin, AWESOME pizza & Margaritas. Pedro's by far is the best Value for your money. Peter is a great host! Hope to make it back someday to check out the swimming pool (be careful not to knock your new fence down Walter) LOL!! Thanks for making our vacation a great one!
