The staff were really helpful and friendly! We were really confortable in the room. The shower had great water pressure and felt so clean and updated. The upstairs patio was our favourite place to hang out in the shade. The location is great, with everything you could need being within a 10 minute walk.

Great location, very helpful staff, basic room but everything you need. Endless coffee/tea/bananas available in reception. Staff went above and beyond helping with itinerary changes due to tropical storm. Lots of restaurants, bars, supermarkets close by. Highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect location

Can't get more in the thick of downtown than this. Great rooms, hot water, and a lovely staff. Even though parking extremely large vehicles in their lot is a risk, they spotted for me and helped me out of a tight spot. Literally and figuratively! Would definitely come back.

The hotel is in downtown San Ignacio which was very convenient for me as I didn’t rent a car. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The tour company I used, Maya Walk tours, was literally a one minute walk away. Nice clean hotel with a friendly, helpful staff. Small pool to take a dip in on the hot days. No elevator so if you have mobility issues you might keep that in mind. Perfect for my stay.

The staff at Maya Bella were so helpful in directing us to good local restaurants and sights close to the hotel. They also helped us connect with a local independent driver who was so helpful, upfront about expenses, and also arranged our sidetrip to Guatemala. The hotel itself is not fancy but took care of our needs quite well.

Kind, helpful staff

Convenient, comfortable stay in San Ignacio. We had a tricky time with a family member falling ill during our stay on a public holiday. Cesar and team helped find an additional room to help our circumstances as well as guide for a doctor available to help with meds. All very kind, helpful staff, thank you! Ps: lots of conveniently located electrical outlets also a big plus.

I had a really pleasant experience overall. Ended up staying 4 nights. The only thing that was strange was the last night I had very loud pounding on my room door at 1:30 am. I was actually frightened and after the 3rd time I opened the door to find a lady with a staff member who said I wasn’t the right person. She was banging on all of the doors on my floor. To me I can’t believe that was acceptable at that hour, makes me wonder about security. Despite that, I had a nice stay and the hotel staff were sweet and welcoming.
