Hotel Del Rio

Our second visit to Hotel Del Rio in San Pedro, Belize. Reasonably priced beachfront accommodations with the authentic Cabana feel. Pleasantly surprised by the addition of air conditioning to most of the Cabanas since our last visit (2012). The staff are friendly and helpful. We'll come back again!

I have just completed my second stay at Del Rio with a third already booked. The hotel is right on the water with restaurants, bars, dive shops and grocery stores close by. It is about a fifteen minute walk along the beach into town. Accommodation is varied but I have loved my little cabana. It is small and basic and there is nowhere to put my stuff, but it is clean and comfortable and both the refrigerator and the a/c work well, as does the WiFi. I have a little raised porch with a hammock and chairs. I am traveling alone but it would be crowded with two. The staff are wonderful and housekeeper Yesenia does laundry for a small fee. The only negative is some noise from nearby Wayo’s bar, which does however cease promptly at midnight. So not ideal if you like to go to bed early. Perfect though for me as I often end the night at Wayo’s!

Great place to stay on San Pedro. We stayed on one of the rooms in the white house behind the thatched cabanas. The rooms are clean and spacious. The location is great and there are several bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk away. There is also a fantastic little coffee shop on site. When we first arrived the owner gave us lots of really useful information about the island and things to do etc. Would highly recommend staying here.

We visited Belize in April of 2022. We cannot say enough great things about Hotel del Rio. It is exactly what we wanted. When we woke up the first morning, we couldn't believe the view from the room as we opened the door. It was a perfect location for walking to everything we needed and of course had golf cart parking. The proprietor was so helpful in getting us a golf cart and sharing so many things to do in town. After several days, we truly didn't want to leave. We then traveled to San Ignacio for a few days and had planned on going to Placencia, but had an issue. We flew back to San Pedro to spend our last few days and I thought I had booked a last minute reservation at Hotel del Rio but I never clicked confirm. The proprietor went out of our way to make sure she found us a room. This place actually made our entire vacation! Can't wait to come back!

Convenient if you want a budget trip to San Pedro. Very clean awesome staff make you feel like your family. The hotel is right on the beach, within walking distance of many of their local spots. Walking distance from downtown to many of the famous restaurants.

We stayed in the Casa Blanca. The room was small but clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was not comfortable and there was no place to sit in the room except the bed. Not ideal. One of the reasons we chose this spot was the complimentary light breakfast daily, as listed on their VRBO listing. This is no longer available. There is a small coffee shop on premise that was very good and the ladies who operate it were very pleasant. There are two small dogs that live there, I’m assuming the owner’s, that are pretty much free range, which I don’t normally mind but there doesn’t seem to be much vigilance with cleaning up the grounds behind these dogs. It was very difficult to navigate the droppings when returning after dark. It was overall a nice place with good location but I wouldn’t visit again.

Such a great place to stay! Staff was welcoming and friendly. Great folks to talk to. I loved how close it was to the water. Best of all was the fact that even though it was only a very short distance away, it was so much less congested than "downtown." Added bonus--bakery, Roadrunner and Arabella's right around the corner.

The room was very small and not enough storage space, however it was in a very good location downtown San Pedro near the bars and restaurants. The outside of the place is really nice, it has a cute garden
