We stayed at the San Ignacio resort for four nights as a base camp for our mainland Belize vacation. The hotel is right in town and about 2 blocks from San Ignacio's "Main Street". The hotel staff was always helpful in giving us advice, direction, and best wishes. The pool is nice and relaxing with a jungle canopy surrounding it. Birds chirping all day with Toucans in the mornings. The hotel also runs an Iguana reserve which is fun to see the personalities of iguanas.
