Recent Reviews in Santa Elena

Cahal Pech Village Resort

10/10 Excellent

"They’re updating a lot of the properties at this moment, re tiled the pools, built a new outdoor pizza oven, are freshening up the cabana’s, to prepare for the upcoming high season."

Falling Leaves Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely LOVED my stay at Falling Leaves Lodge. My partner and I were blown away with the service, attentive staff, beautiful grounds, and clean room. Paula at the front desk went above and beyond for us, whether it was confirming our excursions, arranging taxis, or ordering us early breakfast, she handled it all. The groundskeepers were so kind, setting up lounge chairs and allowing us to connect to the Bluetooth speaker by the pool. The on-site restaurant had a large menu and every dish we tried was delicious. I would absolutely recommend staying here."

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."

Villa Massis Luxury Jungle Villas

10/10 Excellent

"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. You'll find that outdoor activities like caving, hiking, and visiting archaeological sites are much more comfortable without the frequent rain showers and muddy trails that can occur during the wet season.

For those looking for an easy experience with optimal weather for outdoor adventures, planning your trip within these months is highly recommended.
