Thirumalai Govindan
The property was much newer and hence in a better shape than the other hotel in the area. The place is well located bang in the center of the town with easy access to everything. The aircon was good, there is a fridge in the room and there is a rooftop pool. There is also a microwave and coffee in the common area
The negative is that no breakfast is served. There are many restaurants within meters of the place.

Rick
Nice property in a good location. Not recommended for a long stay but certainly good for a short visit to town. Pool was nice. Coffee station is lackluster. Walking distance to everything.
Christopher
Accommodations were easy and simple.
Great location in the middle of San Ignacio. Nice staff, clean rooms. Parking for vehicles.

Accommodating staff
David
The property was in the heart of town, walking distance to anything and everything. Extremely convenient in that regard. The rooms and pool facilities were very, very clean. It’s a dated property that’s seen some upgrades, that’s the best way I can describe it. The A/C works like a damn, the beds and pillows are alright, and there’s free water to fill your bottles conveniently on every floor. The wifi is spotty at best. Overall satisfied with our stay.
Gretchen
We always stay at Maya Bella when in San Ignacio. It is clean, safe, great air conditioning, and convenient!
Parool
Rooms cooled down nicely, the small pool was a nice way to cool down as well. The staff were super helpful and the location next to tour companies and restaurants etc was perfect for returning after a day out exploring.
David
It was a very good hotel. The location is excellent. The rooms were very clean. air-conditioning worked very good. No problem parking all the people were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. It would be nice if they had a little bar on the roof of the hotel have a cold beer or drink of some kind after you got back from one of your adventures in the city, but there’s lots of places very close to get something to eat or drink
Jeff
This is a simple 2 star hotel, but might be the best hotel that San Ignacio has to offer. Great rooftop pool. Free covered parking. Great staff. Great location to excursion offices. Staff worked very hard to get me a shuttle from San Ignacio to BZE. Shopping and restaurants are just outside the front door.
Colleen
The customer service was excellent! They helped us to make some adjustments with our stay beforehand. The rooms were clean, the beds very comfortable and the place was quiet. We slept very well there! The rooftop pool was great fun for our children.

We had a pleasant stay, the staff was very helpful and friendly, room was clean and a good size, bed was comfortable, towels were soft. We appreciated the ability to park our car on site. The room had a mini fridge which was nice, and the air conditioning was great. Easy walk to restaurants. Overall a good stay
Denise
Close to everything. Very accommodating staff and very friendly!
Carl
The hotel room was basic but also very clean. Hotel staff were helpful and provided us with a knife and plate for fruits that we had purchased. They have a water dispenser in the lobby for refills. The location is very convenient. It's right on the main pedestrian walkway in town and within a 5 minute walk to most restaurants, tour companies and the farmer's market. It has a nice rooftop area where you can relax and listen to the birds in the morning. It also has a parking lot. Highly recommended because it is a great value for the price.
Taryn
We really enjoyed our stay at Maya Bella. It was simple and super easy to get to all our activities. Good food and drinks near by. Pool was great. Air conditioners worked very well. It was nice being able to refill water bottles with their purified water and always being able to make tea. We recommend!
Michael
Great AC, clean room, good location
Glenna
Great internet! AC wonderful on a hot afternoon as was a dip in the pool! Very well-located! No complaints at all.
Jamai
Great location and very comfortable rooms. I would stay here again.
Derrick
Parking on site was a big plus and location was as central as it gets. The room could have been cleaner and the shower head leaked water spraying the toilet area. The price was affordable for area but a little more attention to details would have a gone a long way.
Maude
Hôtel bien situé.
Paul
Great location to centre town and restaurants. Very friendly staff. Strong hot and fresh bananas starting at 6:00 am.

Michael
I liked the location of the hotel in the heart of San Ignacio within walking distance of restaurants and shopping.
Kelsey
Great location, walking distance to many places, clean and comfortable! Friendly staff! Super cute lobby and outside of building. Just wish room was a lil more sound proof . But over all very happy with accommodations and stay. Roof top pool was nice and clean also.
Rhonda
Nothing wrong with this accommodation! It’s just a very rustic experience:)

MARK
The MayaBella was the perfect place for our stay with off street, safe parking, clean rooms, location right on the Pedestrian walkway, and a clean rooftop pool to enjoy a beautiful night. Highly recommend this place if you like staying in the center of town.
Jake
Comfortable rooms, coffee and bananas in the morning. A kind and courteous staff as well as off street parking (a bit tight). The roof top pool and patio areas are quite nice. We enjoyed our stay!
Edith
The staff made us feel very welcome. They were so helpful with tips on where to go. The room was quiet and comfortable!
Andrey
Nice hotel with parking right in the middle of the town
Rod
Yes to all of the above
Scott
Our flight was delayed by AA over a staffing or mechanical issue so we only got to stay one night but it was an awesome night! The staff, the old classic look of the hotel, the bed was just fine. The roof-top overlooks Burns Ave. which is the walking district. I wish we could have spent an evening having a cocktail and people watching. I will be back next time we visit Belize.
Charles
No complaints. The room was adequate in every way, commensurate with the price. Great location.

This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of San Ignacio. There are many restaurants, vendors, grocery stores, markets, etc within a 1-5 min walk from the property. The rooftop pool and shaded lounging areas, are a great place to chill and beat the heat. I’d recommend this location to other budget minded travellers. Thank you!
Kang-Lin
Everything was perfect.
Ana
Our room didn’t have any toilet paper so we had to ask the front desk for some. The hot water didn’t work very well so we had to take some cold/lukewarm showers. The water went down very slowly in the shower so we had to wait a while before the next person showered. The bathroom had a really strong sewer like smell so we had to keep the door closed at all times. If we needed anything the front desk was really helpful.
Tomoko
We enjoyed our stay there. In a good way, super simple but sufficient. Centrally located so one min walk go to most tours. The room is clean and spacious and staffs are friendly and helpful. They provided banana and coffee for breakfast. Good hot shower. No Kleenex in the room. Their rooftop is a big plus for us with a 10 yo, especially the pool. It is not big but big enough for us to have some fun, has a nice view of the area and provides some reclining seatings. We felt refreshing after our tours to Maya ruins.
Jerome
Staff were very helpful. The location is great and the pool was nice to have.
Stacey
Clean and friendly staff.
Steven
The first room had a problem with the plumbing, apparently a common problem at this hotel. The staff gave us a \"better\" larger room. The service was adequate. Let's be honest - this is really mostly a backpacker hotel. Nothing wrong with that - but expect that it's kind of clean and some things work and some things may not work or work well.
Virginie
Everything was perfect, clean room, the best localisation, friendly staff, coffee and bananas the morning, parking. We highly recommend this hotel !
Jerome
Staff were really nice and immediately helpful. The pool was great for those hot fays of walking. Great to have 2 different areas, at pool level, to chill.
Stacey
Nice place
Erika
This location suited our needs for the single night we spent in San Ignacio. The AC, fan, and TV were fully functional. One negative issue was the shower curtain is too short and there was water on the floor after showering.
Johnny
Didn't have a car on this trip but they have a nice secure garage. Room was clean and comfortable. I'm spoiled by normally having a coffee maker in the room in the USA. They did have two coffe pots in the lobby but you had to get there early to get some. Property could use some updates.
Staff was very friendly & helpful in accepting a package of souvenirs dropped off for me.
Because of the location in the middle of San Ignacio, it is an ideal place for shopping, dining & people watching. Taxi's are available less than 2 blocks from the hotel.
Will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Room is very clean and comfortable & the air conditioning is excellent. Parking is on property and guarded.

great no-frills hotel - clean room, great bathroom and water pressure, super helpful hotel staff and close to everything . great stay in san ignacio
Don
Great location, friendly staff, coffee and bananas on hand in lobby each morning. Water stations for drinking water on first two floors.
Stacey
this is a very basic hotel. It's right in the center of town, so really convenient for doing any of the local tours from. It's supposedly on the main/busy tourist street of Burns Ave. But it was really a rather quiet area with not much happening on any of the days we were there. The room was clean but was rather rundown, horrible lighting, poorly built shower that let all the water escape and soak the floor....I didn't want to spend any extra time around the hotel than I needed to. They're doing renos to the rooms on the ground floor of this place, so maybe things will be more modern and fresh looking in the future.
Lisa
Short stay to take in local activities. Cute town, toured the caves nearby. There are a number of tours offered. There is a market near Maya Bella.

This hotel was just what we needed, very central to the town of San Ignacio but still a few minute walk which provided a bit more solitude

The best and most convenient place to stay in San Ignacio! We have stayed here many times and have enjoyed each stay! Everything you need, food, shopping, and taxis, are in walking distance and the staff is amazing! They always make us feel very comfortable and at home!

Sareen
Hotel staff was very friendly and recommend a great place to grab a bite. Room was clean and spacious with a great working AC! Close to places to eat and very close to the San Ignacio Market
christine
Booked 3 rooms arrived and pool was closed for renovations. No notice that pool would be closed so tried to cancel. Hotel staff claimed we would get a refund and now hotel claiming they cannot give refund as Expedia has not contacted them and Expedia claims hotel won’t answer them. Total scam. We never stayed but rooms appear to be run down.

Even though the hotel is located downtown, it was amazingly quiet at night. We slept well. The bed was the most comfortable of the trip. Super nice people, convenient, and close to many great restaurants. I would go back there in a heartbeat. Thanks.
Alyssa
The staff were really helpful and friendly! We were really confortable in the room. The shower had great water pressure and felt so clean and updated. The upstairs patio was our favourite place to hang out in the shade.
The location is great, with everything you could need being within a 10 minute walk.

It was very convenient, with lots of walkable food options. Room was specious and clean. Evening receptionist was very helpful with my needs. Definitely stay there for my next visit.
Ryan
Pool was closed due to a leak. Outlet in room didn't work. Bed was uncomfortable. One single drinking glass for two people. No ice machine. Loud outside. We checked out after one night and no refund or even an apology.
Joyce
Enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the beautiful bedspread and red sheets. Staff was friendly and wonderful! Room was clean and very comfortable. We had a car and parking was available and easy.
The only complaint is that the pool was not open and there was loud construction going on. Didn’t spend a lot of time in room. Would stay here again.
Would highly recommend.

If you are doing tours it is literally the best location as they are all right there. Everything you need is on the street and you have good dining options. Definitely worth the price.

Old hotel, very basic. Quiet, helpful reception, refill water bottle dispensers, coffee & bananas for breakfast a nice touch. Close to restaurants, tours, bus, taxis.

Pass until the property is upgraded
The good news is that the hotel is in an awesome location. Exit the front door and you are in a pedestrian only street with good food close at hand. The farmers’ market is a short walk. A must on Saturdays.
The bad news. The pool can only be entered or exited on a ladder with round rungs. In your bare feet, it is extremely painful. The pool’s tiles are literally falling apart. There is a six inch pile of tiles on the pool’s left.
Our room had no nightstands. We had to “borrow” a couple of chairs to act as nightstands.
The staff is friendly.
Overall, the owners have not paid to maintain the property. Too bad. It could be a great hotel.
