Hotel Del Rio

Love the location of this hotel. Away from the noise and hustle and bustle of down town. The rooms were very comfortable and well appointed. There was a really nice coffee shop in the grounds. Great coffee. The staff were amazing. So knowledgeable

Review of Hotel del Rio, Belize I recently stayed at Hotel del Rio in Belize, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The location is perfect—right on the beach, offering breathtaking views, and close to numerous fantastic restaurants like Cool Beans, Palapa Bar, and Nutty Crab. Christine, the manager, was an incredible host. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless stay. From helping us set up golf carts and arranging tours to providing excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities, she truly knows everything about the area. You could reach out to her at any time, and she’d respond promptly and helpfully. The hotel itself is charming, with a rustic vibe that fits perfectly with the beachside ambiance. Everything was spotless, from the bedsheets to the towels, and the attention to cleanliness was evident. The entire staff, including the security guard, was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The area around the hotel is safe and convenient, with plenty of dining options and easy access to the main attractions. Being right on Boca del Rio was such a bonus—it made exploring the town a breeze. If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and perfectly located place to stay in Belize, I highly recommend Hotel del Rio. I can’t wait to return!

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!

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.
