Midas Belize

Midas Belize is a nice, quiet hotel set in lush foliage at the edge of San Ignacio, a short walk (5-10 min) from town. For us this was a huge plus as it is quiet and tranquil. Midas is very close to the market, which wasn't particularly nice (mostly fruits/veg and resale clothes) and across the street from the best supermarket that we saw in all of Belize (though still small). Also very close to Guava Limb, a very notable restaurant. The hotel itself is slightly more rustic than the pictures present. Rooms are very large, comfy and clean, and AC worked well. Coffee pot didn't include coffee or filters. Refrigerator worked well. We stayed in 2 deluxe king rooms (side by side) in a building with about 8 rooms. The walls were paper thin. I would recommend a stand-alone cabana instead. Pool looked nice but it rained while we were there so we didn't use it. Made-to-order breakfast (not included) was very good but really slow. Didn't eat dinner there as planned as the menu was limited and ambience just wasn't there -- garish LED lights and sparse decorations. Would stay here again in San Ignacio.

Stayed 2 nights in December. Very close to town/local market (the market is a must-visit and the best place to shop for cheap souvenirs and fresh fruit/produce). Grocery store and fried chicken place across the street was convenient. Facilities at the hotel were not the cleanest (clumps of hair around the pool, trash in the stairwell, clogged drains, general wear and tear) but the a/C was strong and the bed was comfy. A good budget choice for exploring San Ignacio. The bartender and his daughter were lots of fun to hang out with and they had a great happy hour. Fry Jacks at breakfast were delicious.

Convenient location. Nice balcony. Lovely pool. Great restaurant & bar. Excellent staff. Needs better water pressure. Needs hot water quicker for showers. Otherwise, staying there was a wonderful experience.

New owners working to improve facilities, but definitely coming back. Excellent location, with on site restaurant and both grocery store and markets in easy walking distance. Cabins well appointed for meal prep if eating in. Pool is a definite plus!

Our room was poorly decorated, lacked some amenities and wasn’t as clean as it could be. I wouldn’t mind all this if we were staying in a backpacker place - but we paid $250 USD for our family room, and for this price I’d expect better. It’s nice to have a swimming pool though and the location is good!

The room was outdated no water pressure and have to wait hot water. The walls were tin and we could hear the people next to us. When we left they took us 10 dollars because two cups are missing. But the glasses never been in the room. Not forget to mention that we forgot an item in the room but they didn’t call for that. Don’t recommend it

This hotel appears to be a 2-star property and is quite run down. From my observation, it does not seem to have been well maintained since receiving its TripAdvisor award in 2013. The beds are in serious need of replacement, the sheets were thin and stained, and the grounds and pool did not appear to be kept clean. Many items were broken, including chairs, hooks, towel bars, and door chains, and the furniture overall was very worn.||On our first night, the AC in our room malfunctioned and began screeching loudly at 1 a.m. The foam-style mattress was old and sagged so deeply that we could not lie flat. I honestly felt like I was sleeping in a Lazy boy recliner. There was also no hot water our first 24 hours.||We changed rooms on the second day, but only after quite a bit of reluctance from the owner. Our new room had functioning AC and hot water, and the bed was somewhat better, though still saggy. There was no interior lock, as it had been forcibly broken off, and the deadbolt did not fit into the strike plate (slot). The TV did not work, though that was not a major concern for us. We did have nice towels in the second room. ||If someone I knew were planning to stay here, I would strongly encourage them to choose a different hotel. The overall high score on TripAdvisor is baffling, and the photos online were misleading—they did not reflect the condition of the property upon arrival. My husband and I both felt that with some basic repairs and care, the hotel could be greatly improved. Even small details, such as the condition of the soap dispenser and shampoo/mini soaps they supplied would help. The photo of the sheets is directly after entering the room and before resting or sitting on the bed. Note the stain and indentations. ||On a positive note, the employees were friendly, the walkway leading to the bungalow rooms had nice greenery, and the pool area had plenty of seating (though quite dirty so we used our towels to sit on). The location was excellent—an easy walk to town and several tasty restaurants.

I really would not recommend this hotel. It has seen far better days. The cabin style rooms are cramped, out dated. No place to hang clothes, despite there being clothes hangers, no place to sit really. One working lamp out of two, a TV with no sound. The lighting was so poor.
