Tapir at Lost Compass Cabanas

Located due south of Cahal Pech Archeological Reserve and just minutes from downtown, Lost Compass Cabanas is ideally situated for those travelers torn between being amidst the culture and cuisine of the city or the nature and tranquility of the surrounding jungle. Constructed entirely of Belizean hardwoods, the Tapir Cabana features a screened-in porch, Queen-size bed, full kitchen, and full bathroom - plus free Wifi and A/C! All furnishings and shelving have been locally designed and made specifically for the cabana!
The property includes: the cabana area, which is fenced in and landscaped with a variety of flowering plants; the pool area, which features the inground pool, patio area, and lounge chairs (rafts provided); a bird-watching area, which is down a short trail and faces the reserve (binoculars and bird identification pamphlet provided); and, a smoking/assembly area, which is under a Gumbo Limbo tree surrounded by benches.

We live next door so we'd be happy to sit down with you (maybe over a cold Belikin?) to help out with recommendations or answer any questions you may have - or we can give you space to explore on your own (and drink cold Belikin by ourselves). It's totally up to you!
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Cahal Pech Mayan Ruins. A kitchen and a balcony are available in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, balcony and fridges
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Cahal Pech Mayan Ruins and a few minutes from Branch Mouth
Tapir at Lost Compass Cabanas offers its guests a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

The cabana was spotless, and Adam was very personable and helpful. I felt like I was moving into a jungle oasis.
Jungle oasis
It’s a 20 minute walk Lost Compass Cabanas to the Cahal Pech Mayan ruins, which are well worth the effort.
The ruins at Cahal Pech—much bigger than a single photo can show—I felt the presence of ancient history very strongly there.

Lovely property nestled within a forest putside of the small city. It was quiet except for the birds and monkeys!

Great little property off the beaten path. Very cool pool area and nice screened in front porch. Cool shower and amenities. Loved being able to make breakfast in the morning. Hosts were super accommodating. Would have liked if the sheets had been a little wider, got into a blanket stealing match with my wife lol. Would def stay there again, we did have a car though so that helped a lot.

These quaint little Cabanas were set far enough away from town to feel secluded, but still easily accessible to downtown San Ignacio. Close to Mayan culture, restaurants and local shopping as well. Adam and Rebecca were wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. They were very responsive and provided us with good recommendations for the area. Couldn’t recommend this place more!
