I like to travel a lot. Usually I prefer to stay in hostels and cheap hotels, or at campgrounds, so I can have more money for things like diving, snorkel trips, surf rentals and tour guides. After arriving in San Pedro by water taxi (Jet Express; great service) I walked around a little while with my girlfriend looking for a... More

I understand that budget rooms are meant to be very basic but I think they need to make a little more effort here. Walking barefoot in the room left your feet totally filthy. The walls were stained all over. The location is central which is nice but it's very noisy on weekends. Not only can you hear the loud music... More

Overshadowed by two resort hotels but this place is a gem for the budget conscious. We had an oceanview with a quarter the price you'd pay at the neighbor hotels. We got a basic room, no A/C, not TV but hey - who's in their beds on a vacation? Not to mention that in the Spring/Summer, there is always sufficient... More

I live on nearby Caye Caulker, but I have had business over in San Pedro, and have chosen to overnight at Ruby's each time. The staff is friendly and competent, the furnishings are minimal, but the rooms are always very clean and I have never had an issue with safety. Beachfront views from the large veranda is a bonus! Don't... More

Ruby's is a family owned/operated hotel. Rooms consist of beds, 2 fans, small dresser and bathroom. Cheap and cheerful! Great for those on a budget. You wake up in the morning with ocean breezes and the view. A large patio is on all three levels. They insist on quiet time afternoons and evening so it is a great place to... More

We enjoyed staying here--right on the water, friendly people, nice decks on all 3 floors. Beds were good, ventilation was good (we stayed on 3rd floor in #10, corner room) and the price was right--$40/night. Is in center of town but ear plugs made it all work. And Ruby's Cafe is downstairs!

Rubys is definitely for the budget traveler. The great thing is that not only is it reasonable, it's clean, the water is hot and the beds are fine. The people are friendly,helpful and honest. They also have a small cafe down on the street that serves light breakfast, good coffee and a great fruit bowl. The prices are very good... More

If you are looking for a place to stay in San Pedro - consider Ruby's. Its not a 5 star resort. You won't find satellite TV, mini bars, in room safes or fancy buffets. But, if you want a clean room with a comfortable bed , friendly staff and great service then this is a good choice. We spent 9... More
