Open to guests since 1976, the San Ignacio Resort Hotel provides unsurpassed levels of luxury service and hospitality in Belize. The Resort is centrally located in San Ignacio Town, within a 17-acre private estate just 72 miles west of Belize City; this lush tropical setting on a hillside along the historical Macal River gives the Resort its unique name of "the only jungle in town." Just a short walk puts you in downtown San Ignacio where the culture and lifestyle of the people abound or, in the middle of one of Belize's ancient Maya temples known as Cahal Pech.
