If you're looking for somewhere cheap and affordable to stay while in San Ignacio, Venus is great. The rooms are simple but clean and reasonably spacious. There is the option to pay for air con if you want it. The hacienda bathrooms don't leave much privacy but are clean and all you really need. Perfect location for just about anything... More

San Ignacio was my husbands and my last city destination for a week long trip in Belize. I have to say Venus Hotel/San Ignacio was a highlight. As usual we arrived in a town with no reservations or destinations. Stopped by a local restaurant where we met Abraham. He told us how to drive around town and recommended Venus Hotel... More

We had two terrible nights in this dump - we tried getting a room in another hotel, but there was nothing available. Room looked like a prison cell in some third world country! Can't even begin to describe the place...hated it and recommend you run as far as possible. The shower had one of those electric shower heads that heats... More

Stayed here in different rooms on 2 different visits. Each was clean and had hot water. There isn't a lot of water pressure so for the tankless heaters you might have to constantly switch between hot and cold (to get warm water) but it works.

The Venus Hotel is at the center of San Ignacio, a small town west of Belize City. I stayed in a room on the main floor towards the back of the hotel where there was a little breeze. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and I loved being able to walk everywhere in town so easily. Be sure to visit... More

We were supposed to be booked into the Midas resort. San Ignacio is an evolving and improving destination. To be honest you don't have that many options of where to stay. Most of the downtown is under construction and hotel choices are few. We booked our stay through Duendo tours...which I highly recommend. Duendo was quick and very helpful. they... More

I have had the pleasure of staying at the Venus twice for 5 week periods. The staff is extremely nice and very accommodating. I wouldn't advice a room on the 2nd floor in the hallway.. No A/C and very little breeze makes it way down the halls, making the rooms very warm. The showers are whack but heck did you... More

The location was good, right in downtown. Unfortunately, my room which was beside the front desk, was infested with one and half inch cockroaches. When we moved rooms, there were fewer cockroaches in the new room, but we opted to sleep with the lights on to keep them from crawling out too much. None the less, a one inch cockroach... More

We stayed here May 2011 for 4 nights and no issues. Reading the other reviews I am thankful they initially gave us a good room, 2nd floor looking out the back of the hotel. I wasn't expecting much and we weren't there to hang out in the hotel, too much to see! Ask for a deal, we paid $80BZ/night instead... More

Before booking Venus Hotel I read all of the reviews on this site. I have to admit I was a little disappointed once I saw the real thing. But our attitude was that it was just a place to crash between our tours to Guatemala, Caracol and the ATM tour so we weren't too bothered with our lodgings. All in... More
