We loved our stay at Maria and Arturo's place! Before we even arrived, they were very communicative and made sure we had all the information we needed to find the place and let them know when we arrived. The house is located a short walk from everything you need in San Ignacio, but is far enough away that you don't get the noise of the downtown area. It's also close to the market and bus stops.
The room is large, with plenty of space even with the extremely comfortable king size bed. There's also a hammock in the room (and two shaded hammocks on the roof, for relaxing!). The room has a private bathroom and a shower with hot water. There is no air conditioning, but we were perfectly comfortable with the fan provided. Arturo and Maria keep a jug of free purified water in the kitchen to refill water bottles from, which we really appreciated!
The best part of our stay was Arturo and Maria. From the moment we met them, they were so sweet and welcoming. They made sure we were settled in and helped us with anything we needed: local tips, taxis, buses, laundry, restaurants--you name it! They were absolutely fantastic hosts! Someone was always around when we had a question, but we felt like we had plenty of space and privacy as well.
Also, the breakfasts Arturo cooked were TOP NOTCH! He made us enormous plates of fruit, eggs, ham, bacon, beans, and fry jacks (the best we had in Belize!). Plus fresh fruit juice and as much coffee as we wanted. He prepared breakfast for any time we wanted it, even early in the morning before our trip to the ATM cave.
We absolutely loved our time staying with Arturo and Maria, and will certainly stay with them again if we find ourselves back in San Ignacio!
