Pros:

Bela vista!
Pros:

Hotel amplo, com piscinas, bangalô silencioso e confortável. Varanda com boa ventilação.

Cons:

Falta frigobar e secador de cabelo no quarto.
O café da manhã só oferece opções à la carte a partir das 9h. Quem toma café cedo, por volta das 7h, só tem a opção de buffet. O valor não compensava para mim, então, optei por tomar café fora. Sugiro mudadmrem essa política para maior conforto dos hóspedes.
A localização é longe do centro, mas oferece uma linda vista por estar situado em lugar alto.

The staff for the most part was good. Austin the waiter was great at our fire pit dinner.
Pros:

The huts are good, the building itself has a motel feel.

Cons:

There was a bug infestation in one of our group’s hut and we were accommodated with another room but it felt like a downgrade.

Uma vista bonita, mas não vale a estadia
Pros:

A vista do hotel é muito bonita!!!

Cons:

Ficamos no chalé, mas ele era distante da área comum do hotel e o problema é que o terreno é extremamente inclinado, ou seja, uma super subida até a entrada e se estiver chovendo não há cobertura, ninguém oferece sombrinha e o piso fica escorregadio. O chalé é escuro, com móveis escuros e pesados, não tem um ambiente agradável para ficar, mesmo na varanda. O chuveiro é muito bom, no entanto o ralo não da vazão para a quantidade de água, então você toma banho dentro de uma “ lagoa”. O bufet de café da manhã pago a parte é ruim, pouquíssima variedade e qualidade baixa. Os funcionários são pouco simpáticos e solicitos. O hotel fica no alto de uma colina, distante do centro! A atração mais próxima são as ruínas maias de Cahal Peach, vale a visita.

It was central to Caracol, Cahal Pech and Xunantunich. Barton caves, Rio on Pools, Big Rock Falls.
Pros:

Great location
We stayed in the thatched villas overlooking San Ignatious. Lots birds and high up you could see for miles. Great restaurant with lots food and courteous people.
Would recommend the single thatched roof villas.
The highway to Caracol is now paved all the way!

Cons:

The air conditioning was hard to adjust and it got too cold at night.

Not good.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable. Restaurant staff was nice. Plenty of parking spots available.

Cons:

View from the bungalow was barbed wire fence and some bushes. AC was not working properly and made rattling sound. Curtains cover only half of the windows so impossible to sleep after sunrise. We had to wait half an hour past the check in time because the room was not ready. No apologies for the delay. After the wait there was additional 10 min wait for someone to go check the room for some reason.

Une vue magnifique, un personnel super, mais un besoin criant de rénovation
Pros:

La vue de l’établissement est exceptionnelle, sur la vallée.
Le personnel était également toujours très agréable, prêt à rendre service et à rendre l’expérience la mieux possible !
La coffee shop était très bien.

Cons:

Globalement, il y a un besoin criant de rénovation des chambres, et de les penser pour les clients.
Il est totalement incompréhensible dans une chambre d’avoir un lavabo dans le salon (en plus de celui de la salle de bain) et un canapé immense, alors qu’il n’y a aucune armoire / étagère pour poser des vêtements ou affaires personnelles —> Il faut revoir les priorités ici.
Globalement, la chambre n’est pas dans un bon état.
L’état général de l’hôtel démontre également d’un besoin de rénovation.

Cahal Pech was a warm, centrally located home base in San Ignacio with exceptional staff, seamless p
Pros:

Cahal Pech was the perfect place to stay for the San Ignacio portion of our Belize vacation. Situated near the downtown/market area, we were close to everything! Before we even arrived, my communication with Alicia was top tier! She helped make our trip for 11 people simply magical, creating a custom package for our group that included shuttle from Belize City, breakfasts, tours and a fire pit dinner. Her constant communication helped ease my fears traveling to a new city. In fact, ALL STAFF that we interacted with at Cahal Petch were top notch. Regardless of the time of day, the front desk staff were all smiles and happy to help with whatever need we had (an extra blanket, towels, taxi to the market, you name it, they helped!). Joel remained a familiar face each day for our tours and made sure to check in. Speaking of tours, Cahal Petch has found THE BEST tour guides! Erik brought the ATM tour to life for us with his deep knowledge and love for his country. The next day, Ethan shared his love of birds and waterfalls as we toured Caracol and Big Rock Waterfall. Restaurant and bar staff were kind and Israel made a remarkable impression on us as a solo server for our fire pit dinner.

Cons:

While I can't think of anything I didn't like, just a couple of things to keep in mind - the jacuzzi is not heated, the hotel rooms do not have a coffee maker, and the wifi is not very strong - but, why stay in your room on wifi while on vacation? Get out and explore!

Pros:

The room was spacious and the beds comfortable. The property is large with restaurants and 3 pools. You’re on top of the hill so you have excellent views of the valley below. Lots of great food/drink options!
