Rainforest Haven Inn

Rooms are clean and spacious with a shared space for coffee and water. Location is close enough to everything but quiet. Rooftop bar is cute and the staff is great! Make sure you do a hot sauce tasting with Dylan!

The room is not very pretty, but it is clean and comfortable. The owner lives upstairs, so service is easily available (if you need it). There is also a small bar on the rooftop, great view of the city. I think there are 3 rooms for rent that share a kitchen, all on the ground floor. I was able to easily get my wheelchair into the room. Getting around town in my chair is not so easy, but practically everything you need is in walking distance. Great place! I do recommend it!

This was a terrific find! It was a good sized space (for our group of 4 we had the apartment which had three beds, two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchenette, and patio). The bedrooms had much-appreciated AC units. Bottled water was provided, as were clothes pins/a clothesline for drying out wet clothes outside. The wifi was also good and reliable. The place was clean and our hostess very friendly and helpful. There is also a hot sauce tasting offered on the roof, which we didn't do but would've loved to try if we'd had more time. It was something like 31 different sauce tastings for I think $10, but don't quote me on that. You can also buy bottles of hot sauce there, and they serve beer.||It's also very central, located just a few minutes walk to a number of tour operators and/or great restaurants. There are TVs in both bedrooms with netflix access, and the provided fridge is VERY cold. There are some noises you'll hear from outside, like dogs, and San Ignacio gets a little rowdy with music on the weekends, but this is minimal and you'd probably hear it from just about anywhere. Highly recommend staying here.

Charlene was a wonderful host! The room is very large and the AC was nice since it was 108 F/42 C when I was there. It's a 2 min walk to the shops and restaurants, so a little more quiet as well.

Family run place in town walkable to everything, and the staff were lovely and responsive. The AC was great, full kitchen facilities and a comfortable bed, pillows and clean linen. We did the hot sauce tasting which has just reopened in the bar on the rooftop- awesome experience and a great place for a drink with a view.

[APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE REVIEW] - if you are looking for a quiet / private / very comfortable 'place to lay your head' in san ignacio (belize) then look no further than this clean / safe abode = 400 meters from the town center = fresh filtered H2O / coffee / tea and basic 'pots 'n' pans are available in house [inc a fridge] & quality locks / screens provide good security = the rooftop terrace is managed by a local lad who knows 'a thing or two' about cocktail ratios & you can get the all the info you need re: eateries / tours / transportation / etc from there. ||PS: Highly recommended is the drink we called 'SIN NOMBRE' - i hope you 'get it' !!||PPS: if you want to visit the 400 AD mayan site of caracol = the MAYAWALK TOURS 6hr excursion was well organized / informative / comfortable & the after tour food 'hit the spot' {inc the rum punch !! } = swim togs / gear are recommended for the 'pool'.

A delightfully spacious apartment for a fraction of the cost of nearby tourist traps, Rainforest Haven Inn exemplifies what Belize could be for travelers seeking to experience the country and avoid the stereotypical touristy nonsense. The property is a short walk to the vibrant downtown area of San Ignacio, its resplendent market, and some truly remarkable restaurants. The proprietor made us feel so welcome that it has made me fall in love with Belize. Relaxing, well-situated, perfectly priced, and blessed with the touch of Belizean culture, Rainforest Haven Inn lives up to its name - especially during this oppressive heatwave.

My husband and I are spending five nights here and think it's a fantastic value. The rooms are not overly fancy, but they are very comfortable and clean. The A/C works really well (important in hot countries!) and the bathroom is huge! It's also very convenient to have the common sitting areas and the full kitchen at our disposal. The location is fairly central (and often walkable) to restaurants and attractions, but still quiet enough to have a peaceful rest at the end of a long day. One small word of caution: shower in the afternoon or evening when it's hot and not in the morning when it's colder. The hot water isn't super reliable.
