Staying in the Caribbean is an adventure. The Conch Shell offers a really authentic stay, and although water and energy are such precious resources on the island, the shower was hot with good pressure. The location for a San Pedro experience can’t be beat. But the real treasure was the staff, our room was sparkling clean and they helped us at all questions and turns with true concern and friendliness. There are apartments or service areas or something directly behind the rooms, and being the authentic space it is, the windows do not close so you really are not exactly in a private space on the first level rooms. The weekly rate to stay here is so affordable, however, that I didn’t mind my neighbors knowing me surprisingly well at times! It’s right in the entertainment district. But the noise ordinance keeps San Pedro reasonably quiet at night, it’s an early town. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the Conch Shell Inn, the city, the Cayes, and the people and country of Belize.
