This is probably the best place you can stay in/around San Ignacio if you’re looking for these things: location, noise, a great host, good meals and proximity to water while paying a super reasonable per night fee.
Location: just a few minutes by taxi from San Ignacio. A couple hours from Belize City, William’s shuttle makes that a seamless process so you don’t need to navigate (unmarked) roads in a foreign country. Not to mention, Pacz Tours will pick you up for tours right from Cohune Palms!
Setting/proximity to water: Nestled next to a beautiful, cool, fresh-water river (crocodile less), you’ll see plenty of wild life including birds, monkeys and even agouti. No pool will be found here, but it’s a great water source. Be sure to check out the rope swing!
Host: One must mention Mike. Think Jungle Bob Marley with a chill/super positive outlook on life, great stories, and he can open a beer like a boss.
Meals: Super affordable pricing and definitely cheaper than you’ll get if you go into San Ignacio. The only downfall is if you are less of a planner, you do have to tell Melanie in advance that you’d like dinner.
