First time visit to Belize. San Ignacio Hotel was the perfect place for us... Great accommodations, superb staff, good location near downtown and a great jumping off point for exploring all the jungle attractions. Best restaurant in San Ignacio. The staff went above and beyond in meeting our needs. If you plan to visit the western mountains of Belize in the Cayo District, than the San Ignacio Resort Hotel is the best place to stay... a five star property.
