“A great place to stay”

Midas Tropical Resort

8 Mar 2008

My daughter and I recently spent four wonderful days at Midas Resort in San Ignacio. We had the best time. The cabins are adorable, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the staff could not do enough for us. Maria, Michael and Abraham were always pleasant, helpful and provided excellent service. The location is perfect, a few minutes walk to town, yet secluded and quiet, with easy access to local Mayan sites and tour options. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

“Loved it”

Midas Tropical Resort

26 Feb 2008

Fantastic place to come and visit. Was my home away from home. The staff was very friendly and informative. They provided me with loads of information on a bunch of diffent topics related to Belize.

The cabanas are clean and comfortable with working hot water, AC (in some cabanas), fans and TV. Most have verandas and hammocks and chairs.

I found this a great place to stay. It is just outside of "downtown" so it is quiet and in a very nice setting, but is only a couple mins walking to the downtown. Prices are reasonable as well.

Highly recommend!

I stayed for almost a week, went to some other places in Belize, but ending coming back for almost another week because I like the resort and the city so much.

“Great Place to Stay”

Midas Tropical Resort

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Bay City, Michigan
26 Feb 2008

This was a great place to stay. The location just outside of the down town area of San Ignacio was ideal. It was quiet, but within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants of San Ignacio. Mike, Maria and Matt (the family members that own/operate the resort) were wonderful. They made our stay more like visiting family than staying at a resort. They were very helpful in advising us on what to do and where to go in the area. They also gave us great advice on where to stay in Flores, Guatemala when we visited the Tikal ruins.

The cabana we stayed in was very comfortable with a nice shower (with plenty of hot water) and AC. We ate breakfast at the restaurant daily. The food was very good and reasonably priced.

The accommodations and amenities were very nice, but what really made the difference was the family and the staff. They were all great!

It was great to get back to San Ignacio, Cayo, and Midas Tropical Resort. The staff, which I have come to adore over the years, are back at Midas. The full English breakfast continues to be the finest breakfast in Belize. The friendship and hospitality received from the staff and ownership of Midas have always been a great blessing. Midas continues to be my home away from home...only better!!!

“Not the city, but definitely NOT THE JUNGLE”

Midas Tropical Resort

9 Feb 2008

First off, the family running Midas is indeed nice and helpful. In the whole of Belize and Guatemala, I met nothing but the nicest of people. Given the money we spent, the limited time we had, and the rooms we got, however, I wanted more than good intentions.

Despite marketing itself as the best of the city and best of the jungle, my experience was the worst of the city and worst of the jungle. I loved the Amazon when I traveled to Peru, I loved the noise of nature, I loved hiking everywhere, I loved cold water showers. I was fooled by pictures of Midas; it is not jungle, it's barely a forested back yard: cabanas crowded so close together that it's impossible to feel wild, the valley view that actually faces the adjacent city, no idyllic river view on the property, new construction eating away the greenery with unfinished piping. For all that, we heard thumping bass from the city at night (not the noise I wanted), no hot water the whole week we stayed (worth it only for a real jungle, plus they promise hot water), no floor-to-ceiling bathroom walls so sounds and smells fill the whole bedroom.

With little outdoorsy experience and comparison (real jungle in Central and South America, Yosemite or just nice hiking trails at home), this might do. Experience and expectations led to disappointment. I would gladly have 1) paid less for a downtown hotel that outright advertised cold showers and city noise or 2) paid more for a real jungle resort distinctly outside the city. My frustration is not just the poor experience (I can tolerate noisy, dirty, etc. if I'm saving money) or the higher price (I gladly paid a for nice beachfront room on the cayes), it's that overall this hotel was not a good value - I paid higher prices FOR this bad experience.
