Cahal Pech Village Resort

San Ignacio


Atop Cahal Pech hill, half a mile up from the town center, you can enjoy San Ignacio's finest views from this upscale family resort. The resort has 21 bright, tile-floored, air-con rooms, nine family suites and 27 dreamy thatch-roof cabañas dotted around the property. The amazing two-level cascading pool (nonguests BZ$10) is a great place to cool off.

The onsite restaurant serves good international, Belizean and Maya food with a view. The resort also has its own onsite tour service, booking trips to Caracol, Tikal, Xunantunich and anywhere else in Belize.
