San Ignacio Resort Hotel

Nestled on a lush 17-acre hillside estate just a short walk from downtown San Ignacio, the San Ignacio Resort Hotel has been a family-owned sanctuary since 1976. Revered as “the only jungle in town,” the property blends tropical serenity with refined elegance. There are 27 luxury rooms and suites featuring handcrafted hardwood furnishings, private balconies or plunge pools, and calming rainforest or hillside views.

The resort centers around the award-winning Running W Restaurant, serving locally sourced, ranch-raised meats, complemented by the chic Lobby Bar and The Stork Club, which offers live music and a cozy casino atmosphere. Outdoors, guests can relax by the pool, play tennis under lights, or explore the in-house Green Iguana Conservation Project and jungle trails.

Local adventure is at your doorstep thanks to the resort’s Cayo Gial Tours desk. Choose from a range of curated experiences including cave tubing, zip-lining, archaeological site visits like Cahal Pech and Xunantunich, bird-watching, and more or simply enjoy town life with its vibrant markets, cafés, and cultural events
