Truly a “tranquil gem” as described! Slightly tricky getting in, but then you’re blessed with a jaw dropping view of mountains jungle and river. The place is huge and well appointed, only about 10mins from town (and some of the best shopping in Belize) — great if you want to save some cash and self-cater.
We used this as a launchpad for Caracol adventure, and it worked out famously.
Also, we have two young kids (4 and 7) and having space to roam around was super awesome. Local host (Marilyn) very sweet and attentive.
Third time to Belize, first to San Ignacio, based on our experience we’ll definitely visit again! A charming legit little town with tons to do. Some stuff to make it accessible to tourists but also still very authentic.
