Midas Belize

Midas Belize

8/10 Good
"It wasn't a bad stay but it wasn't what I expected. Instead of a room in the main hotel, we were upgraded to a cabin, in the back of the property where it was so dark I drove into the concrete septic block! No damage fortunately. And I guess back there was better than being up front because of a loud party on a Monday night. At least the room was clean, the bathroom was huge, and the bed was comfortable for the price. Unlikely to return."

"Our family really loved this oasis in the middle of the city. As soon as you stop through the front gate you’re in a comfortable setting with nice pool, clean rooms, and friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable and the restaurant was delicious and so convenient. Staff was friendly and welcoming."

"The grounds are insanely beautiful. We had an incredible stay. The ATM tour and visiting Cahal Pech (in the backyard!) are musts. Don’t let the hill intimidate you. The town itself is lovely! Can’t wait to come back! Our suite was beautiful and the staff so attentive!"

Cahal Pech Village Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful accommodation with a view of the city, warm and helpful staff always ready to assist or offer advice. There are two great pools for cooling off on hot days. The rooms are simply furnished; they lack a wardrobe or dresser for storing clothes—there is only a small rack with a few hangers—and there are no cups or mugs; a fridge would also be a welcome addition. The hotel's location is perfect, just a few steps from the Mayan ruins."

Mystic River Resort

Mystic River Resort

10/10 Excellent
"What a beautiful experience! I HIGHLY recommend. My husband and I were looking for a quiet, peaceful, jungle experience and Mystic River delivered. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, and our room was wonderful and the bed was comfy. Steve, Mike & Olivia went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Steve & Olivia took care of us at the facility and Mike was our wonderful tour guide the entire stay. The food was delicious and perfectly plated (many thanks to the chef) and the rum punch was very good & hit the spot (many thanks to Steve 😉). Our room was fun. Steve delivered fresh coffee & pastries to our front door every morning. It had a plunge pool and was right along the beautiful Macal River. We got to see toucans!! The only negative is the neighboring resort's generator!!! Mystic River is solar powered so there's no generator noise whatsoever. It's very unfortunate the other resort isn't cognitive of the noise their generator is causing. Apparently it just recently happened."

"The staff at Villa Massis made us feel like family from the second we walked in! The food and drinks were wonderful. The room was perfect. The property is absolutely beautiful! Joelle (spelling?) was extremely warm and helpful. He booked us a private tour to Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. Mark was our guide and the tour was incredible! Their bartender, Gio, knew exactly how to cool us off after a hot day. Lucy always had the most beautiful smile on her face. The owner (can't remember his name) was very friendly and we could tell how much love he put into this property. Everyone was so happy to see us enjoying ourselves there. The best breakfast of our entire trip to Belize was at this resort! We will 100% be back to visit and will be bringing friends next time!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Elena?
The best area to stay in Santa Elena is along the Western Highway, particularly near the edge of town, as it offers a blend of accessibility and proximity to amenities.This area is generally popular and provides straightforward access to both Santa Elena and its twin town, San Ignacio. You'll find a good selection of accommodation options here, often with lovely views of the surrounding hills and the Macal River. It's close enough to the main thoroughfare for convenience but usually set back enough to feel private.Couples looking for a relaxing retreat will appreciate the hotels and resorts just outside the main bustle of Santa Elena, often situated on higher ground or along the riverbank. These spots typically offer spacious grounds, pools, and organised tours to nearby attractions like Xunantunich or the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, providing a comfortable base for exploration.Solo travellers who enjoy a degree of independence and easy access to local life will find staying near the Western Highway practical.
When is the best time to go to Santa Elena?
The best time to visit Santa Elena, Cayo District, Belize, is during the dry season, which runs from late November to May.This period typically offers sunny days with lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural attractions and Mayan ruins.
