We stayed for two nights, is very affordable and clean place, with an amazing view, everything nearby, it has a great veranda where you can sit have dinner, have a beer, meet the other guests, just loved it. Our airline messed up our flight and we got there a day late, since they where able to sell the room, we... More

I arrived a few days before my friends and enjoyed relaxing on the veranda, the view, the cool breeze, walking down the beach to nearby restaurants and bars. My friends hadn't been to Belize before, but are now big fans of Tio Pil's and San Pedro! The guys went fishing with Island Divers, who filleted all the fish they caught,... More

My wife and I (and dog) stayed here on our first trip to San Pedro in Jan. and Feb./2012 and were very impressed with this little hotel. When looking for a budget hotel in San Pedro, they don't get any better than Tio Pils. The rooms were very clean, working A/C, comfortable beds, and Dora, Gus and the staff were... More

A few of my friends and I stayed here on a recent trip. The location was great, along with the price. The rooms were just ok, probably pretty standard for the area. The best part was the help and service from the management. We loved Dora! She was a great help. She helped us book a couple trips and gave... More

We were looking for a lower cost hotel that was clean, and near the beach. Few amenities, and only 7 rooms, this was a quaint hotel that fulfilled our needs. It was clean (no bugs!!!), and the desk staff was VERY helpful in assisting us. The beds were very comfortable. I would not hesitate to return there. More

Under new management. No frills but if you get a second floor on the balcony you have a great spot. Don't expect much beyond a clean room, A/C, and a friendly staff and you won't be dissapointed. Considering the price and location it's pretty good. More
