Located in San Ignacio, 1.6 km from Cahal Pech and 17 km from El Pilar, Arnold's Guest House provides accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and a terrace. The property has city and quiet street views, and is 25 km from Barton Creek Cave. The guest house features family rooms.

Arnold’s is a great place to stay in San Ignacio! The location is very walkable to all the good spots in town (we even walked to Cahal Pech), our room was very comfortable with an outdoor patio, and Ani and Seleni were so delightful, helpful, and fun to chat with. You can even grab coffee, fruit, and toast there in the morning. We definitely recommend this guesthouse!

Rainforest Haven Inn is located in the heart of San Ignacio, Belize. It offers the guests free WiFi access, terraces and has a shared kitchen fully equipped.

Guests at Rainforest Haven Inn will be able to find a snack shop, the Bellas Delight, within a short 7-minute walk, and Ko-Ox Han Nah, an international-style restaurant, in a 5-minute walk.

This gem is really a Haven. We loved everything about our stay here. The host miss Sherline is the hostess with the mostest for sure. She saw to our every need. Her son, who handles the Marie Sharp pepper tasting, serves up some cold Belikins on the rooftop lounge. Adds to the charm and hospitality of this place. My daughters were thrilled to sit upstairs and watch the town below. This property is centrally located in the center of San Ignacio town, and everything is a short walk away. And yes, it looks just like the photos on Booking.Com. With cold AC and no bugs inside our apartment. Which is usually hard to pull off in a tropical country like Belize.

Was very peaceful, loved the green space. Lots of areas to relax - lovely outdoor kitchen. Close to town but feels like the jungle. Manger and staff very friendly and helpful - can arrange all the different tours if needed. Would have loved to stay longer.

    We loved the quiet area that it was in and it was just a short walk into town. The market is right next to Mana Kai where you can grab some fresh fruit and veg, yummy cheap food and souvenirs. The owners dad, Fransisco, was super friendly and was always up for a chat. He even picked some fruit from the trees for us. So lovely!

    Great location on a farm. We were greeted to the sound of howler monkeys in the valley below, and woke to birdsong and cows. Friendly and attentive owners. Hearty breakfast reminiscent of English but definitely Belizean. No-frills dinner available at low cost. Room had great a/c and Wi-Fi. Closeness to Mayan site allowed us to arrive before the crowds. Quiet and peaceful location, the grounds are full of flowers. Great value. Shower worked well.

    it’s in the city center. the room was spacious and clean, with a nice private bathroom. the bed was good too and the airconditioning worked fine. but the best was the owner of the hostel! he helped us a lot, figuring out how to go to our next stop. we visited Xunantunich without a guide, and he told us to take photos so he could tell us everything about the architecture and history when we got back. super helpful and nice!
