Some excerpts from the website of Midas Tropical Resort that might be useful
Here are just some of the recent comments made in December 2006 to September 2007 in Midas Resorts visitors book Once again we had a wonderful time here at Midas Resort. Weve been here several times before and its always such a joy. Friendly people always ready to help with anything our friend Abraham is one of the gentlest people Ive met in Belize. I highly recommend this Resort. Danny E and Jan Fox, 20 September 2007. I have known Maria, Michael and Abraham for many years. They had a struck of bad luck a while back, but now everything is back to normal. Happy and comfortable place and very
safe. I will come back again and again. Donnah Holmes, 18 September 2007. The Midas is definitely the best value resort in the San Ignacio area, only a short walk from town but with a
quiet and peaceful atmosphere near the river. I'm so glad that Maria and her sons Mathew and Michael are managers once again. My wife and I have stayed at the Midas many times over the past several years, and it has always been a great place to stay and relax, and a great bargain. Now with Maria and her sons back in charge it promises to be even better! Many building improvements are underway, as well as a new
bar in the dining area and a
swimming pool coming soon. We love the wooden cabins with fans and porches, but there are also cabins and cabanas with a/c for those who prefer it. The food is great and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Abraham, the groundskeeper, is great with plants, landscaping, and just about anything else you could need. I highly recommend the Midas Resort, where there's truly a touch of heaven in town. Terry and Jane Crouch, Garland, Maine, August 2007. Thank you very much for your kindness and hospitality. You have turned a negative waiting time because of the hurricane into a positive experience. Lorie and Jesper, 22 August 2007. Weve really enjoyed staying at Midas. The
room was lovely was lovely and the staff were friendly and really helpful. We will definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to visit San Ignacio. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Joanna Kiwington, August 2007. The Midas was definitely the best value we have found in our travel so far. The
room was very clean and nice. The staff took care of us like only a small family run resort could make our stay very comfortable. I would recommend Midas to any travelers. Aron, Jer and Brian Oregon USA, August 2007. Nice clean
room. Good hospitality. John Schaeehm,August 2007. Midas Resort has simply been an absolute GEM of a place to stay. Abraham was so helpful and even showed us the Iguanas in the trees to our untrained eye. Its peaceful relaxing and a five minute walk into town. The
restaurant next door, Hodes is a great place for
dinner too. Abraham was able to organize tubing for us to do with the excellent guide. Colleen Litchfield Australia, 06 August 2007. I recommend you to stay at Midas. My cabana rocked and I was able to
wake up to the peaceful sound of the birds not traffic. If you want to experience real Belizean hospitality this is the place to stay. 5 out of 5 Ps I only got to stay here for 2 nights if I could have I would have stayed another 5. August 2007. Wonderful resort and amazing staff. Very helpful and friendly I am very sad to leave here and will recommend Midas to my friends. Abraham has been a pleasure. It is a stores throw from town the town has a beautiful
restaurant Evas, wonderful food. Midas hooked us up with a wonderful
tour, Cave tubing was also amazing. Never alone anything like that would do again. Once again wonderful time at Midas would come back again. Reena Phillipps, 8 August 2007. This place was very cute and calm. Abraham was most helpful and knowledgeable absent surroundings and wildlife. He even helped us to spot Iguanas in the trees.

tour guide. Tanlee, 10 August 2007. This hotel provides a good atmosphere which makes me very relax. In the morning, mango tree wakes me up by putting the fruits on my
rooms roof. I did not notice what the sound first but I found out the source later. Its fun to hear the noise now. Not only the mango tree, also birds makes me fun. Free

Quiet and relaxing. Run by wonderful people. Ill be back!!! John Chuilli, Guatemala. September 2nd, 2006. Midas is a truly fantastic place!
Quiet and peaceful, you can hide away on the porch of your cabin and when that gets a bit too much you can hurl yourself down the river on an inner-tube or play at being Indiana Jones in some truly awesome caves! The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble, a service home away from home, you will feel welcome immediately. Thank you for a great stay! Well be back!
