Recently, I was on a trip to Belize and was visiting San Ignacio in the Cayo district. While looking for a place to stay, a local recommended Mystic Jungle Resort, a newly remodeled resort that I found out was formerly called Green Heaven Lodge. The new owners were very gracious and extremely hospitable. The price was reasonable compared to other resorts in the area. However, though it was obvious that the place was still undergoing the final stages of remodeling (restaurant being completed), the service was excellent. I enjoyed a few local cocktails at the bar and spent 1 afternoon enjoying the pool. The new owners are Belizean but have lived in the States for over 20 years and have just recently moved back. They were very professional and extremely accommodating. The private cabin that I stayed in was very clean, spacious, and had all the necessary ammenities. The jungle setting was very captivating. I spent 2 nights in San Ignacio and was very sad to leave. It was definately not enough to explore the many natural atractions in the area. Needless to say, I am proud to say that I made friends with the new owners /operators and promised to return as soon as possible...this time for a more extended stay!
