Hotels in San Ignacio - Prices and Reviews

San Ignacio, Western Belize—A terrific jumping point to about 10 Mayan Ruins and 5 Cave systems! I went to Cahal Pech (a moss-covered, small-ish ruin all to myself) and Xunantunich (impressive, second to Tikal), and Actun Tunichil Muknal (an ancient cave where Mayans practiced sacrificial rituals for the Rain Gods). Pretty amazing!!

I blame Paul for the worst hotel decision we´ve ever made. He decided to spend a night in Santa Elena, the scummy town below Flores because he said it was closer to the bus station. But it turned out to be 7 blocks away and we ended up staying in the worst hotel on the planet. First of all the shared bathroom didn´t have water or even a toilet s...

Yes guys, after 10 years Roody finally tried horse riding, enjoyed it and cantered. When riding through some jungle trails with machette weilding Swedish bush tucker woman named Charlie, it was great fun and Charlie really knew a thing or two about Mayan history. In the evening a Wolf Spider made an apperance in the Palapa while we were in the h...

New Year, New country..................Happy New Year to everyone from Belize. We started ours officially at 6pm Belize time, midnight in Bonnie Scotland, with a large rum. We were joined by John, who runs J&Rs Guest House, our home for 5 days. The R stands for Rose, his wife. Our trip over the border from Guatemala was not without incident!...

This is the account of an ominous day in history when five men would defeat a giant. The sun been up for hours , the time 8 am, the giant beckoned as it swayed back and forth in the slow wind. Boots laced, machetes sharpened, water bottles full. Five men strong and will set out to conquer the brush on the hillside. Spread out did they each taki...

Cay Caulker tenia 3 calles; San Ignacio debe tener 8 o 10 y es super tranquila. Aqui si hay coches pero no hay mucho trafico que digamos. Ayer hice un tour por Caracol, que son las ruinas mayas mas importantes de Belice. Son bastante impresionantes, aunque las de Tikal en Guatemala lo son aun mas (estuve con mis padres hace unos anyos) y a su la...

We stayed in San Ignacio for about 4 days. We met a belizean on our bus ride over that pretty much told us all about belize. He was an agricultural student at the university. We learned about the mayans, medicinal plants, and rastamen. It was a small town. Our hotel was more of a house with rooms in it. We had our own balcony, it was really nice...

jan 21st - went to Xunanatunil via bus... met some woman from Illinois and spent the day traveling with her... she seemed a bit uncomfortable in her skin.. taking a bus to this ferry, outside of a tour, on her own, was a little adventurous for her... (and we´re in an English-speaking country).. took this fun little hand-cranked ferry across the ...

Our first stop in Belize was a city called San Ignacio, near the Guatemalan border, where we were kindly greeted by the "youngest San Ignacian mob-boss," Kenny G (that's right, just like the musician), who acted as our personal tour operator and best friend for the next two days. If anybody gave us trouble, we were supposed to report to Kenny G....

Happy Holidays Everyone. Can you believe its that time of year already? I hope that this finds everyone happy and healthy. If you are in the North East, are you getting ready to bundle up for the winter? My mom said that it might be a big year for snow this year. I miss the snow and the cold! Although its still "cold" down here. I can tell how m...
