The Midas resort is an oasis in San Ignacio. The spare room ended up being booked during our stay so we were upgraded to a deluxe room for $10 USD/night. This review is for that room and the resort facilities.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the AC worked wonderfully. We booked an excursion to the ATM caves through the front desk and it was perfect! The one woman at the front desk, I believe her name was Amina was super friendly and answered all our questions and inquiries.
The pool was great and very clean, it was closed until about 3/3:30pm every day for cleaning, so if you’re planning on spending a day swimming, be aware of that.
The restaurant offered great food, we had breakfast there a couple days. Highly recommend the Belizian breakfast with bacon or the fresh fruit.
From the resort it is a short, less than 5 minute walk into downtown San Ignacio. One day we took a local bus from the welcome centre to Xunantunich and back to Cahal Pech for 2BZD pp. each way. There are also great restaurants and many tour operators on the main street to check out. For local restaurants, we especially enjoyed the Guava Limb Cafe, which is only a couple blocks away from the resort.
