San Felipe Hotels

"The hotel was amazing! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious. The views of the river from our balcony were spectacular. And, it just felt so peaceful sitting at the outdoor palapa-style restaurant/bar, enjoying the quiet air, listening to the birds, and having fun watching for our crocodile friend in the river, lol! We were in room 1A which was on the lower level, closest to the restaurant. It had a nice corner view of the river, just lovely. The bed was comfortable and we had hot water (as opposed to our neighbors who claimed they never got hot water in their shower, so I guess we lucked out!). We booked the Lamanai Mayan Ruin tour through the hotel. They picked us up at their dock right at the hotel which was super convenient in that we didn't have to get transportation to the pick-up spot. The Orange Walk town is about a 10 min drive from the hotel, but the staff was able to get us a taxi to the town so that was a fun day checking out the main town. The ONLY issue I had was the shower situation. It was a smallish corner-style shower with no door or curtain, so water would get all over the bathroom floor after we showered. It made a mess and we had to be careful not to slip on the wet floor after showering. Other than that, everything was great, and we would definitely come back to this hotel!"

"This is one of two units in Naz's building. We stayed in the other one first and then moved to this one for the duration of our stay. They are on the second floor of a building located in the center of Orange Walk Town, across from the central park. Great for people watching with a front deck and a screened-in rear deck. We didn't need the bedroom air conditioning as the windows on the south side are louvers with screens. We weren't bothered by any biting insects and even the few flies weren't a problem. We prepared all of our meals in the apartment using ingredients sourced within walking distance of the unit. Everything for meal prep is there and works very well. The doves doing their calls early in the morning can easily be scared off.All in all, this unit suited us perfectly for what we wanted ... warm weather and relaxing. Naz and his wife do everything they can to make you welcome and comfortable."

"Very good stay."
