The location cannot be beat. The Venus is right in the center of the main street in San Ignacio. There are plenty of places to eat and a very quick walk to the local markets. Also, right next to the soccer fields if you want to catch a game. The staff were very nice and friendly. The rooms were very clean and the bed was much larger than expected. The bathroom may be a bit tight if you are a larger man like me (6'3" 220) but its manageable. The hotel was under renovation while we stayed but it did not impact our stay at all. because of the location and the local night life it is very loud around the hotel until late into the night so if you are a light sleeper that may be something to consider but it did not bother us.
