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.

This was our 5th visit to San Ignacio and we have always stayed at different hotels. This time we stayed at Tropicool in one of the cabins out back after seeing the inside of one last July.

The cabin was very comfortable and had all that we needed - fridge, kettle with coffee & tea bags, cups, lots of windows, ceiling fan and a good, hot shower. Everything was very clean.

We found the location to be slightly noisy because of traffic in the area and lots of barking dogs, but ear plugs worked well (bring your own, or Celina's supermarket sells them).

We were central to everything and although we had a rental car, we could walk to all restaurants in the town and across the bridge in Santa Elena.

At $70 BZ per night ($35 US),what more can you ask for?

We stayed two nights in late November 2010. Our cabin at the Tropicool was clean, roomy, and convenient, and the price was right. Next time I would ask for the cabin with the screened-in porch. Ours was beside it, and we could not spend time outside because of abundant mosquitoes. Also, the noise from nearby bars and roads was pretty loud, and the mattress and pillows had seen better days. That said, for the price it was perfect, and there’s a good Sri Lankan restaurant right across the street. A backpacker would find this luxurious; a couple of middle-aged folks accustomed to more might consider this “roughing it.”

We stayed here in a nice little cabin just behind the hotel. It was a cute little cabin and we had a nice stay for two nights :) I thought that the proprietor of the establishment was a friendly fellow, and we enjoyed the clean little cottage we had. Its a bit noisy, which should probably be expected in the middle of San Ignacio, but a nice place all in all. If I had to complain, I would say the bed wasn't too comfy, but I've come to expect this in the developing world.
