Don't let the name fool you, my friends. The Hi-Et Guesthouse has no affiliation with Hyatt Hotels. And thank God it doesn't. It's a refreshing, homey place to lay your head in the bustling village of San Ignacio, the adventure capitol of Belize. In the old edition of the guesthouse are several basic rooms with a shared bath, which you can get for around $15 single and $20 double in the high season (a little less in low season).
A new addition to the guesthouse offers rooms with private bath and hot water (sometimes!), and you can get these for around $25.
The hotel is basic, but there are a few decorative touches to the rooms. The best feature of the guesthouse is the large number of comfy balconies and common rooms throughout.
It's a block from the center of San Ignacio, right above a grocery store, and within a block of the best restaurant in town, Erva's (NOT Eva's!). For a budget place to sleep in San Ignacio, with a nice international backpacker crowd, the Hi-Et can't be beat!
