As advertised, the room is giant- and private- with its own bathroom (equipped with fresh towels and soap) and a fan. There is no A/C but the temperature dips at night and I was fine. The family is very inviting, and polite. The breakfast food was amazing. Both Mr. and Mrs. Matus were very approachable and easy to ask directions/advice from. We also had some great conversations around education in Belize, and the Belizean government (since elections are Nov. 4, 2015). I really enjoyed our conversations and having the opportunity to understand their community (everyone knows each other in San Ignacio and Santa Elena) over coffee or fry bread. I would return and stay with them because I felt safe and at home. And for those on a budget, or traveling solo, this is a great place to stay because they are able to give so many pointers on where to go or who has the best prices. For those who have confirmed reservations, I would suggest reaching out to them beforehand for their advice on tour guides or hikes.
