I’ve stayed at the Tropicool several times. On my last trip, I looked at other hotels first, then headed straight for the Tropicool. All I can do is parrot what others have said: friendly staff; modest prices; a clean, relatively spacious room; noise-free, being in the back off the street; with table, chair, hangers, rod for hanging clothes; fan; clean bathrooms with hot water. The maid insisted on sweeping and giving me a fresh towel and soap on the second morning, though I didn’t ask for it. The best deal in San Ignacio. Paid B$25 (US$12.50).

The only drawback is that the room I stayed in (#7), which faces west, was warmer at night than during the day, as the outside wall absorbs the sun’s heat all day and funnels it inside at night. Even the fan didn't help. It’s a minor complaint, though, for such a nice property.

We spent a night in town in San Ignacio and so wanted a convenient location near the restaurants etc. The main building of the Tropicool was full but there were cabins in the back yard. Our cabin was big and had a screened porch looking onto the yard, behind the main building which in on the street. It was comfortable and cool. I was worried about noise downtown but it was quiet.

I loved staying at the TropiCool. At $15/night for a couple, I wasn't expecting much. Our room, while quite small, was spotlessly clean, very secure, and well-screened from mosquitos. We got fresh towels and soap every day. The shared bathrooms are also spotless, with reasonably warm (or at least not cold) showers. We stayed in a room, not a cabin, but those looked pretty nice too (and have private bathrooms, I believe). It's right in the heart of the "downtown" San Ignacio area, close to all the restaurants and tour companies. I was staying with a friend but I would have felt completely comfortable here as a single female traveller (very important!). It's a bit noisy at night because it's in a busy area, but it becomes very quiet once the restaurants and bars close. The bed was a little hard, but hey, at least it was bed-bug free. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed for one week in Feb 2011 at the Tropicool Hotel during our visit to San Ignacio Belize and were extremely pleased with our accommodations. The location is perfect to see all the sights, dine, shop and book tours. Our room was very clean, the shower was hot and the bed was very comfortable. We loved having a refrigerator, internet service, coffee maker and a TV in our room. The best part of our stay was the wonderful staff which consisted of the two owners and Rose the housekeeper. All of them could not have been more accommodating to all our needs. Tropicool Hotel is one of the nicest places to stay in San Ignacio and for the budget conscious it’s a great value. I highly recommend staying there to be confident of enjoyable experience.
