Peter's Hummingbird Rest was a great stop for my partner and I while we stayed at San Ignacio.
Peter and Jenny's family were very welcoming, their love of nature and wildlife was very apparent, and it made our guest house feel much more one with nature.
The bed was comfortable for us, they had a shower with hot water, a low key fully functional kitchen with a mini fridge, plenty of drinking water, a large fan, towels, solid internet, television, and a beautiful walkout patio.
The guest house is about a 15 minute walk into town, or you can easily flag a taxi heading down. The guest house was a short walk to a few grocery stores as well as a few restaurants.
Peter was extremely easy to communicate with, we had several questions regarding transportation and he was able to assist us in making plans to get to the guest house from the airport in Belize City.
We also had plenty of questions about excursions and nearby sites; he was able to provide recommendations and help us in booking the ATM excursions and Tikal excursions, which were fantastic. He books with a company directly in town and made all the appropriate arrangements for us; the rates were all pretty competitive and we felt relatively confident in booking with his assistance (especially after walking through town) there was also pick up and drop off right from his place as well.
Overall, if you're looking for a place away from the bustle of San Ignacio that is a short walk away, and even shorter drive, I would highly recommend any of Peter's Guest Houses. We didn't even have a chance to say goodbye as we left early to catch the buses to Hopkins. We also wish we could've spent more time exploring the property and see their gardening plans in action. Hopefully next time.
