We stayed at the hotel so it was a very easy choice to check out the Iguana sanctuary on a day when we got some rain. Rodolfo was our guide, he was great! he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the iguanas. We were able to each hold an adult iguana and also see some of the younger iguanas. Highly recommend this 1hr tour, price was very reasonable and we enjoyed it so much!

What an experience! To start with the place is in a gorgeous hotel and the staff are so lovely. The tours run on the hour. We met the guy and he was super knowledgeable and made us feel at ease with the iguana. We learned so much about them! They’re precious animals and we must look after them. If you have kids or are just visiting San Ignacio, this place is a must!!

It was slow season for tourism so I essentially had a private tour Rodolfo who was very knowledgeable about the iguanas. He even pointed out a wild black iguana that was in a tree at the hotel where the project was located. I highly recommend booking this tour as the funds help protect these lovely creatures. I learned so much about iguanas in Belize and really enjoyed getting to feed and pet them.

You can tell that the staff here really enjoys what they do. The conservation work is important, and you learn so much about the iguanas. I highly recommend a visit! The tour starts every hour so plan accordingly.

Excellent experience and very informative discussion about Iguanas. We gained a greater appreciation for them and an understanding for their preservation.

A must see at San Ignacio! You get to learn about the iguanas, hold them, and donate to their conservation! A tour starts every hour from 8:00 to 16:00. Absolutely amazing place! 🦎❤️

tours are every hour, our tour guide was really informative and funny! Saw baby iguanas as it was just after mating season and got to safely hold some of the adult ones! Great conservation project and good afternoon activity!

Nice. Local and authentic food. I was short on time. So couldn’t try !!

A lot of vendors, large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Souvenir stands, and some lovely food stands with great, rustic hearty food.

Encourage all travelers to visit here for fresh foods and much more reasonable prices than the local grocery/quick shops. Fresh food, tomatoes, peppers, melons, seasonings, etc.. even two meat stores.

Great place, we get fruit and veggies there through week. Most tourist vendors open weekends, only go when we have company.

I travel for many reasons and I always seek out a local market. To me it’s the essence of a community. Where people come to buy fresh food, catch up with friends, share a meal and much more. Today I was in my element. It’s my happy place to be immersed into a countries culture, food and meeting the locals. I would highly recommend you come early and have some breakfast. Plenty of stalls to choose from. Takeaway or sit in and chat to the person across the table from you. Apart from fruit and veggies, spices and herbs, there are clothes and homewares plus a few souvenir style stalls. There are toilets onsite which will cost you $1 BZ and you’ll be given a few sheets of toilet paper. A must visit in San Ignacio.

Great place to get local food and fruits. Saturdays is market day in San Ignacio and all the local vendors and people come out to shop and mingle.

A wonderful local market. We visited and gathered fresh vegetables and meats for our dinner each day while we stayed San Ignacio the people were extraordinarily friendly a great place to visit if you’re in the area.

Pretty cool site to explore! We were able to get lots of great pictures on the Mayan ruins with no one else around! Definitely recommend to those coming to San Ignacio! Only costs 20 belize currency!

This was the most breathtaking thing I've done in Belize. I had a great fortune of getting to experience the site alone, I felt like royalty. It's such a massive site, and would make a perfect day out of anyone.

A relatively small Mayan temple site, it was occupied for most all of Mayan civilization. Very close to town, so easy to visit if you are short on time. Interesting museum and small gift shop.

Wonderful piece of history. Please be advised that their hours of operation are incorrect. They open at 6am and close at 5pm. However, the last entry into the site is 4pm. We arrived at 4:15pm thinking they closed at 6pm (according to Google) only to be denied entry. They do not have an hours of operation sign posted otherwise I would have took a photo. Besides this issue, we returned the following day and got to experience this ancient site for all its wonder. I absolutely love that you are able to climb them. Beware another reviewer also mentions a room within a room with bats on the ceiling. Bathrooms were clean and small information center was decent for what it is. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and have time.

Very cool archaeological site with lots to see and tons of fascinating history. If you're considering going I recommend not buying tickets in advance. I bought mine online and there was some confusion. It'd likely be easier to have just bought them at the entrance. Definitely recommend all tourists to visit Cahal Pech!

A 20 minutes from town. Had the whole place to myself. A great way to fill in a couple of hours. The museum is very educational about the history of Belize.

It is interesting to walk around, but it certainly doesn’t compare to its neighbors. Also, the check-in process is rather laborious. With a drivers license age and name. Seems like a lot of paperwork for such a small experience.

The ATM charges a % of the amount taken. That’s blatant. Not even a “fee” but a % of the total amount. Pathetic.

They charge money from ATM but i'm never seen that

Should have had 2 atms. Only 1 available.

(Translated by Google) The staff is professional. On the other hand, the taxes and the rate are catastrophic! Prefer the Atlantic Bank, a 5-minute walk away (Original) Le personnel est professionnel. Par contre, les taxes et le taux sont catastrophiques ! Préférez la Atlantic Bank à 5 minutes à pied

Restaurant was full with few option where to sit. We wanted to go upstairs but we couldn't since it was full was very disappointed since a friend had suggested to dine in the second floor. The place closed early like 9 or 10 We felt like we where being chased. The food was great though. Over all it was good.

Amazing food! We went for both lunch and dinner and the food never disappointed. If you’re on a budget I recommend both chicken and fish goujon sandwiches! They both come with salad or fries and are huge portions! The salads are to die for!

Awesome delicious dinner: fresh ingredients, beautiful presentations. However, coconut water was flat. Soursop was refreshingly good. Great service by Abner, Alex, Rose and another lady.

Great place! Food was made fresh. A bit pricey for the area, but worth it if you can splurge a little. A frog or toad jumped out of the planters onto the floor a couple times, that was cool :) You'll want to get a reservation during peak tourist season.

I wanted to check out this highly rated, buzzy restaurant during my stay in San Ignacio. The restaurant did not disappoint with its romantic interior that naturally blends the indoors to the outdoors. The food was solid, though not as incredible as I had expected given all the rave reviews. I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and everything was well prepared though nothing stood out. The service was warm and attentive. Prices were on the high end for Belize, but not unreasonable.

This place is great. But certainly not amazing. I think in comparison of other available options in San Ignacio it’s at the top. But my pork chops looked more like Kalbi and the ceviche barely had any flavor. But again, realistic expectations make this place a go to if you’re in the area.

My fiancé and I went for a nice dinner! The food and service ware excellent. We absolutely loved the vegetables tarine and pork belly.

After getting multiple recommendations, we decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, and really good authentic cuisine. I recommend the vegetable soup and the fish. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try the cow foot soup. We had dinner there two days in a row, and it's a 2 minute walk from Martha's guest house.

Don’t understand the hype. Didn’t find the food too nice. We ordered a chicken curry and the chicken had a funny taste we didn’t eat it. We gave it a second chance and had the pork tacos. They were nice but super mega oily and so was the plantain portion. The service is good just wish they didn’t take our plates right after we finished eating it’s of bad taste. The food also takes a while, but I think it’s a thing in Belize. Don’t go if you’re on a rush

Food was great, quesadilla was huge and delicious. I had also the whole fish and my husband the chicken curry. Everything was delicious. My husband had strawberry ice cream for dessert and I had the flan. Everything was perfect. The picture shows half of the quesadilla.

One of the best value for money in San Ignacio. Great quality of food, made with local products, big portions and tasty. Also a big plus for the option to pay by card and a selection of Belizean Craft beers

Ate here twice in 2 days. Great value, taste, and customer service. I made customized requests on both occasions and they were all accommodated without any issues. Among the very best in San Ignacio!

Good, simple, cheap food. They have craft beer and kombucha. I had the Belizian breakfast and it checked all the boxes. Friendly service. Very relaxed vibe at 10am on a rainy Friday.

I’ve been here twice — once for the lamb curry and the other time for the shrimp quesadillas. The lamb curry was good, no complaints… but the quesadillas? Maaammiiii. Absolutely amazing!

Nothing negative to say here Googled this place from Canada for my sons birthday Saved it and it did not disappoint!! Food was INCREDIBLE and portions super generous The owner and service was absolutely AMAZING HIGHLY recommend!! My son said it was the best birthday meal of his life And he’s had some amazing meals

Best.Cuisine.In San Ignacio! 💥 I stand by that headline. Pros: Atmosphere feels like a true upscale bistro without being pretentious. Very robust wine selection - but we enjoyed the Sangria, which is offered as either white or red wine base. THE FOOD!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the baby back ribs, chicken paupiette, and the chocolate roulade for desert. The meat on the ribs was fall-off-the-bone, cooked to perfection with a superb sweet+smokey housemade bbq sauce. The chicken paupiette was moist, tender and flavorful. Desert: The chocolate roulade is a dark chocolate & ice cream lovers perfection. The cake was spongey and decadent, without being dry or too cold and was filled with a light mocha ice cream. - If you don't like it, I'll pay for shipping to eat it 😀. Presentation: all of the dishes are plated and served with an eye for detail you might find in a Michelin star restaurant. Price: Worth. Every. Penny Cons: - I can't eat here every week..

We enjoyed our meals at this cute little spot. The service was also great and the atmosphere was welcoming. The food was packed with flavor and the drinks were pretty good. No complaints here.

Had a great Saturday out at Crave , food was amazing and delicious and the drinks ( mango 🥭 margarita ) with a hint of spice was one of the best I tasted before .

Be aware of that there’s 10% service fee automatically added to your bill. The waiter didn’t mention it up front. You have to carefully check otherwise you won’t even recognize it. Otherwise the service is good and the food is above average.

Vegan/vegetation options! They have a chickpea burger and a hummus plate. I got my chickpea burger with a side of sautéed veggies and fries. So good!

If you’re looking for the best restaurant in the Western Highlands of Belize then this is your spot. Misael the waiter at his sister Melissa’s place will treat you to a wonderful dining experience. It could work as a romantic dinner spot for two or as a family. My wife and I ate there with our 3 children and it was amazingly delicious. My wife is vegetarian and had the carrot ginger soup as a starter and I he vegetarian risotto and loved them both. I had a salad and the short ribs risotto and they were both fantastic. I had a spicy margarita which was wonderful. They have a great selection of drinks The kids loved there meals too. The dining room is small and tight but worth the wait. Outside there is an open air bar where you can dine and drink. The decor is quaint and relaxing. They have tasty desserts but we went for ice cream next door.

The food was Amazing. Will definitely go back again when I visit Belize. The only thing was that I wanted some more fresh pepper sauce but they ran out. Other than that I enjoyed the food.

We arrived in town early and couldn’t check in yet, so we stopped at this café on recommendation. The breakfast was delicious and exactly what we needed after an early start. Coffee refills were free, and everything was served with a smile. The place is very clean, well managed, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Another plus—no extra charge for paying by card. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing full English breakfast, I asked as a special request, the manager has family in the UK. I had 3 bacon, 3 sausage, 2 eggs, chips and heinz baked beans. I believe it's the only resturant/ cafe that does a proper uk style fry up. It's not on the menu but if you ask they'll sort it out for you!

Pops food was good we got Fry Jacks with out food, light fluffy fried bread pillows. Could have had a little more beans, and longaniza

Food was not special, but okay. Service was good. However, i believe the lady charged us double price. This was our first stop in belize and we weren’t sure if the menu was in belizean dollars or USD. So we paid in USD (exact amount) and she didn’t give back anything. Afterwards, we see all menus everywhere being in BZD… if it was in USD, then the food is overpriced, if it wasn’t, we got scammed.

Wow can't believe I could get a decent English Breakast in belize. Delicious! Well done girls! 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, heinz baked beans, chips and toast LOVELY

Best breakfast spot in San Ignacio town.

I ordered the pork and rice and beans. It was very dry. The rice and beans were fine. The chicken cordon bleu was tasty, but a small portion for the price. As someone said, it does take a long time for the meal, but it is cooked fresh. Service was okay- took a star off for taking a while with the drinks and forgetting my order.

Not impressed with this restaurant. We got curry. The service was really really really slow and you can tell people weren’t enjoying themselves. Which I’m all good with taking their time especially how they make things to order but this was beyond that. The food was a really dry as well. There wasn’t one thing I really love to be honest.

It was a pretty good restaurant I had the fried fish and rice and beans. I do feel like the fish was a bit small for the price but it was cooked very well. The rice and beans was a bit salty for my personal liking but still tasted very well. The inside of the restraint was very small but nice and can get very crowded. So expect your service to be a lot slower. The drink I had was great which was the toasted almond ! I highly recommend. Overall I would come back!

Food - 10/10 Vegan/vegetarian friendly We had the rice and stew beans with chaya, and the veggie coconut curry—easily some of the best food I’ve ever had. Every bite was super flavorful. My wife usually doesn’t say much while eating, but with this meal, she was complimenting it after every bite. We loved it so much, we went back a second time. If they were open on Sunday, we definitely would’ve gone again. The vibe is relaxed, the ambiance is chill, and the staff is really attentive. Absolutely loved the place—already missing the food!

We had a great experience here! The food was good, not mind blowing, but solid. The atmosphere was great and the service couldn’t have been better. Really enjoyed.

I was actually turned away by the restaurant when I stepped in. They asked if I had a reservation and I said no. I was told the restaurant was full and there was no place for me, but I told them I wanted to try the food here and it was my last night in San Ignacio. They told me even if I wait I might have to wait for 2 hours for food to be served because there were like 2 tables of more than 10 pax. I told them I am willing to wait, and I quickly took order while the kitchen was preparing food for the first big table, and the second table would be arriving in 10 minutes. It went well cause they managed to get me a table in a corner and the food only took 30 minutes to arrive. Probably I ordered the easier dish to prepare. The butter and garlic shrimp was flavourful and I loved the sauce so much it helped me to finish all the rice. I loved the coconut rice as well it was so fragrant and delicious. I have to say they also serve one of the better shakes I have tried in Belize. Recommended and probably good to make reservations in advance as well.

We were in San Ignacio walking in town and looking for a restaurant with AC. It was very hot and humid. We found this restaurant in Google Maps with very good reviews. It wasn’t busy. The bartender welcomed us. The restaurant was nicely decorated and had warm ambiance. The kitchen is visible and it was interesting to watch the cooks. I think that our server was not very experienced. We enjoyed our lunch. The owner introduced himself and mentioned that Erva was his mother and now retired.

Restaurant was full with few option where to sit. We wanted to go upstairs but we couldn't since it was full was very disappointed since a friend had suggested to dine in the second floor. The place closed early like 9 or 10 We felt like we where being chased. The food was great though. Over all it was good.
