Cahal Pech Village Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I stay here on every trip to San Ignacio. The cananas are trfurbished, the pool is always refreshing and beautifully lit at night. Their restaurant seeves Belizean style dishes as well as pasta and pizzas. The staff is always friendly and helpful and can arrange any excursions into the area and into Guatemala."

Dream Valley Belize

8/10 Good

"Staff was great and verry accommodating. Food was not so good. One pool was a little dirty because they didn't have it circulating. The other pool was other other side of the property. The roads coming in were absolutely horrible. Very rocky and washed out"

Falling Leaves Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff and service. Very convenient location."

Beautiful contemporary hilltop home with impressive panoramic view and pool

10/10 Excellent

"This property is absolutely stunning. It sits on top of a hill and captures an amazing breeze through the massive whole house sliding doors. It features beautiful modern architecture that blends seamlessly with the beautiful jungle view from the top of the hill it is perched upon. It is fully fenced/gated with a key fob for easy entry to the property. It feels extremely secure. It features lush, pristine landscaping all around which is lit at night for a peaceful ambiance. The pool is fantastic for cooling off after a day hiking in the jungle or exploring the myriad of local restaurants. The pool has a gate from the massive covered porch that can be extended to keep little ones out when desired. We would definitely stay here again."

The Maya Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Well my daughter and I stayed for 3 nights. From the beginning of our arrival we were welcomed! Loved our time there. The entire staff are super friendly and kind. We especially loved getting to know Fiona and her family. We enjoyed all the meals they prepared for us. Thank you guys for a wonderful place to be☆"

Drift Inn Cayo

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed in the family room and had a wonderful experience. The room was very spacious and included three beds—two doubles and one king—which made it perfect for a family. The bathroom and shower were also noticeably larger than those in the standard room we stayed in during our previous visit. Another benefit is that the family room is located on the opposite side of the building from the pool and patio bar. The pool area can get a little lively on weekend evenings, although the music and activity do quiet down later at night. We also really enjoyed the new menu at Chef’s Patio. It offers a great variety of options, including appetizers, breakfast, burgers, Belizean dishes, pasta, and other lunch and dinner choices. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and homemade. They were out of a few items during our visit, but there were still plenty of delicious options to choose from. The seating is outdoors under a large covered area, so it can feel warm, and bringing bug spray is definitely a good idea. The staff was courteous, friendly, and welcoming, with the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere you would expect in Belize. This was our second time staying here, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. We look forward to returning again!"

Villa Massis Luxury Jungle Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time staying at Villa Massis. The entire staff was very friendly and very accommodating and very warm and they took good care of us while we stayed there."

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.
