“Worth the hike to stay in a room with a view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Perched atop a hill of San Ignacio, this resort provides some spectacular views from the rooms and a beautiful set of pools to lounge around at. The cabanas provide a nice outdoor porch protected by netting to lay in the hammock and read. Definitely not the best value in San Ignacio, a long hike back to town, but definitely worth a night to stay up there before moving to a guesthouse in town.

“Great Place to Find Adventure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

This was our second time in Belize. We stayed 6 nights at Cahal Pech. We loved the resort. Our cabana was adorable and very clean. The only complaint about the cabana is that the shower was kinda tricky. The pool was great and the staff was amazing. We booked transfers and 4 tours, the Cave Tubing, Tikal, Canoeing, and Caracol. We walked over to Cahal Pech ruins ourselves. We were extremely happy with our tours and had very knowlegeable guides. The only let down was the restaurant. The food was ok, but the menu never changed and served very little Belizian food. We went to town a couple nights for dinner and that was great. I would highly recommed the resort for people that are looking for a great place to stay and set up tours in the Cayo District.

Room Tip: The cabanas are nice for privacy and the screened-in porch, but if you don't want to walk alot o...

“Great Place For The Adventurer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We stayed in the cabanas. It was alot of fun. I dito the Dogs and Roasters going most of the night. It added a bit of charm to the experience. We just got back days ago and can't wait for our next trip! The climb up from our cabana to the front desk was a work out like climbing the Tikal ruins. Cabanas are nice clean basic huts with good running water and electricity. If you want more stay in a resort. We thought a good price for the experience. Do not forget to go to the Cahal Pech Ruins just down the road. Best $5 I spent. When it comes to the staff, you couldnt ask for more friendlier hopefully people. I cant wait to go back.

Room Tip: better view if cabana was at the top of the hill.

“Okay Hotel, Best Staff Ever”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

person found this review helpful

First the bad: Cabana was a little disappointing. Like someone else mention there were no hooks in the room nor were there any towel racks! All the food was mediocre except breakfast which was consistently excellent. The pool was nice but don't expect the hot tub to be working or check before booking. It would've been great to take a hot tub after a long day at Tikal but we were told it wasn't working and I got the feeling it is never on.
On the plus side: We loved the location, a short walk from town (the hill is not that bad!) with a great view. The barking dogs is a reality of the place, and seem to be endemic in areas of Belize.
On the last day an I came down with a bug and the desk clerk (Raina?) was SUPER helpful in hooking me up with a Doctor etc. She worked with me all morning to make sure I was taken care of and without her my trip might have been ruined.

“Nice place - not so good cabanas...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed four nights. The first cabana had no place where to hang our clothes... At nearly US$100 we expected to be able to hang our clothes somewhere... We were moved to the next cabana. No hot water, and the shower flooded as drain was blocked with God only knows what... We were told the problem would be fixed the next day. Not so. We had the same problem the next day. We were moved to a third cabana. It was a lot better, but some of the lights were not working... Get the idea? Also, it was very dark outside the cabanas as the light bulbs were burnt out. One could easily break one's neck going down the steps to the front door of the cabanas. The front desk staff are very friendly, and they seem to want to help, but that's it. It doesn't translate into positive action. It seems that the concept of room maintenance simply does not exist. Food is ok, but nothing great. Location is good, and the pool is a plus. Wouldn't go back.

Room Tip: Check it out first. Open all the taps and shower to see if water is hot and drains. Check that lig...
