The rooms are really basic, especially the bathroom. We didn't really need the A/C and was comfortable. But it's located on the beach and it's $40 / night, impossible to beat that price in town on San Pedro. Yes, I agree, you should save your money for other stuff Belize can offer, such as excursions, bike rental, drinks on the... more

My mother and I stayed at Ruby's this past month and really got more than we expected. Looking back at other reviews that we read before we left, we can only laugh. I am not sure what sort of things some of these prima donnas were expecting of this quaint, family run hotel It seems as though they expected someone... more

For $40 US a night, you can't beat the location. We traveled around Guatemala, Belize and Mexico, and this was our least favorite hotel along the way, but still I would recommend it. When you pay this price, you can't expect a resort. However, the beach in front of the hotel was nicer than I expected. The location is the... more

Well, for $40 a night you get what you pay for. I wasn't expecting anything great and I was about right on. The redeeming quality is that it is right on the beach/ocean. We were on the third floor and had an amazing view. The room was quite small. It wasn't that it was necessarily dirty, but it needs a... more

Reading the reviews, I thought that some people had a rare misadventure at this hotel, and for the price I thought it wouldnt be the Ritz, but it would be ok. What a mistake. The room is not clean. The paint is coming off the walls, the shower and toilet are dirty, and the bed is not comfortable. There is... more

Ok, I read the mixed reviews, thought I was prepared for the worst, I was only concerned with budget. What a mistake! I think we had the best room in the place, and it was unbelievable noisy. Drunks all night long outside the door. The room itself was clean, the bed was comfortable, but even with earplugs, it was not... more

My mother and I stayed for four night in November 2008. Very central location, less than one block from the ferry dock. Upon arriving, Esther told us that the room we booked was occupied, so she upgraded us to a beachfront room with a/c at no charge. The location was superb, with many diving, dining, and shopping options within walking... more

After reading many pretty good reviews on this website we decided to book this hotel for 5 nights. Upon arrival we were turned off by the decrepit looking exterior. Maybe the inside would be better.....nope. We booked an ocean front room where it was supposed to be quieter, there were people talking late into the night every night and we... more
