A gem in the middle of San Ignacio. Really central - few minutes to shops and the market/restaurants. Clean and large room for our family of 3 with 2 queen beds, rainforest shower, fantastic AC and smart TV. Spacious balcony with full table and chairs and hammock. Bar is a nice touch with very reasonable cocktails, beers and snacks. No breakfast or restaurant, but the Grind coffee shop downstairs is handy and they will bring your drinks up to the hotel bar/sitting area if ordering quite a bit. Would highly recommend as a base. We recommend Guava Limb for a nice atmospheric dinner and a visit to the Iguana Sanctuarty. We had an excellent day trip to Xunatunich combined with cave tubing in the afternoon with Belize Caving based on 46 Burns St, a minute away.

We had a great stay at the West House overall. Good location if you want to be able to walk around San Ignacio (probably the nicest hotel in that area). The reason for the mixed review is that we had something “go missing” from our room during our stay. It wasn’t something that we would ever bring out of the room with us and the worst part is that it was inside one of our bags when we left the room, meaning someone either went through the bag and took it or it fell out during the room cleaning and then was taken. The front desk staff (who are also bartending) were awesome. Very helpful with recommendations, helped us coordinate taxis, made incredible drinks. We asked them if the item had been turned in and they said no and that the house cleaning staff said they didn’t take it. It wasn’t particularly valuable so it’s a mystery to us as to how it ended up “missing” but other than this we did really enjoy our stay.

Was a wonderful experience. Concierges/staff really elevated the stay and the 24hour security was an extra comfort, especially as a solo female traveller. I felt everyone I interacted with took amazing care in what they did. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the private balcony with hammock was amazing for rainy weather. I would highly recommend the hotel.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for us since we wanted to easily walk to restaurants and shops in town. There's a cafe downstairs with amazing coffee and tasty desserts. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I'm glad there was a balcony to dry out wet clothes/ shoes after the ATM hike. I also want to highlight the friendly and courteous staff. They were so helpful! We were talking to them about the hike and, without us asking, they sent extra towels knowing we would get wet.

We stayed here in October 2025 for four nights. This boutique hotel shares a building with a small coffee shop and bakery, where you can conveniently charge items directly to your room. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of many restaurants and tour operators. The staff was friendly and helpful—especially Carrol, who checked us in. The entire property was exceptionally clean—so much so that I wondered if we were the first guests to stay in our room!

The welcome drink was a lovely surprise after a long day of travel, and the bar area was very nice. There’s a water purifier in the shared hallway, which was perfect for filling our reusable bottles. The area was quiet, and it was wonderful to enjoy coffee on our private balcony each morning. Free parking on the premises was another big plus.

The only (very minor) downside is that the bakery/coffee shop doesn’t open until 8 a.m., and there aren’t bulk coffee or breakfast options early in the morning. However, there’s a single-cup coffee brewer in the room, and staff are happy to provide extra coffee packets.

We’d absolutely stay here again—highly recommend!

Nice hotel in San Ignacio

Very nice stay. Close to many things in town but we had a rental car for farther away tourist spots. Friendly and helpful check in process. Welcome drinks, clean room and seemed very safe. One of the best things is they had a water filter station in the hallway. Was so nice to refill water bottles and not have to buy water every day. Nice large rainfall shower. Nice size tv in the room that you could put your Netflix or Prime accounts in. It’s not a resort with a pool but we throughly enjoyed it. There is no elevator which was fine for us. There was a refrigerator in the room. You did have to turn it on if you were going to use it. Very eco friendly. Would stay here again.

The perfect place to stay in San Ignacio!
You can easily walk to the main streets of town, and it's only a short drive to places like Cahal Pech and Xunantunich.
The staff was wonderful, and our room was a crisp, air-conditioned oasis after being out in the sunshine! Our room had a balcony, but there's also a nice shaded sitting area by the bar. Although we felt pretty safe anyways, they do have security after 8pm, which made us feel even better.
Overall I would highly recommend this hotel, and I would definitely stay here again if I revisit San Ignacio.

Excellent property. Room was great. Very clean. Hotel staff was really helpful with restaurant recommendations and doing what they could for a late check out. Multiple restaurants within walking distance. Welcome drink was a nice surprise! Calpech was walkable, but would recommend taking a taxi to get there and walk back. The walk to get there was all up hill and it was hot!
