We really liked staying at Erva and Landy's place. Very friendly and welcoming hosts! We arrived at the bus station and walked to the house (it's going uphill, located right in front of CET--Cayo Centre for Employment Training) or there's plenty of taxis around if you don't want to walk. It was very very hot in Belize! If you're coming by bus from Belize City to Benque, the bus goes pass a roundabout not very far from the house. You can get off opposite the petrol station and walk towards CET.
As for day trips, you can walk to Cahal Pech from the house or take the bus heading to Benque (B$2 each) to Xunantunich and can take the taxi back.
The town is very small and it feels safe. There's plenty of restaurants in town and we even tried Erva's restaurant--it was very good! We enjoyed the rice and beans and burritos there!
However, if you don't want to walk all the way to the town, there are some vendors selling food not very far from the house but they won't be there all day. You can buy breakfast from a lady just outside a hotel next to the petrol station, near the roundabout. You can get lunch from a small 'cafe' style shop next to the barber shop before the casino and for dinner you can either get Burritos from a vendor by the casino (but the food won't be ready until 8PM) or rice and beans outside the supermarket before the roundabout.
Erva was there to greet us and gave us icy cold water after the walk from town. The house had strong wifi (both in room and outside), good water pressure in the bathroom, and clean and comfy bedroom.
it's very hot in Belize, best to sit at the back porch and enjoy the breeze!
Great couple to sit and have a chat with, we even met Landy's brother and his wife! We highly recommend this place when visiting San Ignacio. Thank you so much for welcoming us in your home!
