This has by far been one of the best experiences of staying with an airbnb host. Maria and Arturo were so welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. Arturo personally took us into San Ignacio to make sure we found a restaurant to watch a football game. He also made us delicious breakfast every morning with fruit and tea and traditional Belizian foods (fry jacks, beans, johnny cakes). Their teenage children were also very warm and friendly. We wanted to take a canoe trip up the local river and Arturo helped set up the tour and a guide. Everyone in this little town seems to know them and only have good things to say, as do we. While not a five star resort the room was large, clean and accommodating. Having a hammock in your room and on the roof is a major plus.
We highly recommend staying with the Matus family for a true (and safe) Belizian experience.
