  • We stayed in August of '08 and had a wonderful time. It was a perfect addition to the end of our trip! We love San Ignacio and the location is perfect! Thanks to Roy and his wife for all the help! The vehicle rental was very reliable, we highly recommend it! The house suited our needs perfectly! We hope to return with the whole family soon! Thanks again!

    We had such a wonderful time at Kumquat Cottage! We wished we could have stayed longer--your little home is a truly magical spot. Roy, Ercilia, Janice, and Kira were so kind and helpful as well. We were luck enough to catch the Holy Saturday bike race be for we left. Thank you again! We hope to return to Belize and to Kumquat Cottage someday.

  • Thank you Phillip for the Kumquat experience. Roy is a superb host for our introduction to Belize, of its history, places to go, things to do. The house is unique inside and out. The depth of the lot, the fruit trees, flowers, birds and the close access to downtown and its restaurants and stores. The people of San Ignacio helped make the "experience" even greater. Never have we had so many "Good Morning's" just walking around the streets. As we were told, "We dont have plastic smiles". Thanks again, and thank you San Ignacio.

  • Philip, we enjoyed our glorious 2+ weeks at Kumquat Cottage. Waking up to the sounds of nature is a great way to start the day, especially when staying in town. Unfortunately we were so busy with our anniversary party, visiting with family and friends, and sightseeing around Belize and at Tikal that we weren't able to enjoy the grounds of the cottage as we would have liked to...maybe next time. We are glad we were able to meet you before we left. You didn't take long to complete the painting at the back of the cottage..it is beautiful! Thankfully Hurricane Felix didn't make it's way to Belize...we thought about you as we left Belize...and wondered if you would be able to finish painting before the weather changed! We highly recommend Kumquat Cottage. Our stay there made for some wonderful memories of our 25th wedding anniversary. Regards, Domo & Cindy

  • We just returned from a 4 day stay at the Kumquat Cottage. It was a great cottage in a wonderful town. The backyard and roof were great places to relax, enjoy a Belikan, after a day of Cayo district adventures. Great location close to town yet quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. This is a much better way to enjoy Cayo district than the resorts, walk to restaurants, experience the feel of San Ignacio. Great place...Thanks!

    We really enjoyed ourselves. The place is lovely, inside and out. Your garden/backyard is looking lush. The flowers are beautiful. I liked the fresh coconut juice, the location, the birds, the bathroom-everything. Roy was helpful and our tour with his friend was a ton of fun. The kitchen was fully equipped and we used the juicer several times. Having the computer was handy and the fans were welcomed, too.

    Everything went great at your place. We really enjoyed our stay. It took us a while to get used to where all the light swiches were! We made friends with the kids down the road, and they were a delight. We don't have any kids so it was a hoot for us to hang out with them. Whenever we came home, they would be waiting. Bruce really enjoyed talking with Roy, we have been thinking about buying in Belize so he was a wealth of information. Your place is great, we could tell you have put a great deal of time and thought into it. Your yard will be be a beautiful oasis in the years to come. It already is, and will only get better as the years go by. I'm sure you must hate to leave the place, and look forward to a time when you can spend more time there. San Ignacio is a great town and we really enjoyed our time there. The people are so friendly, we will definatly be going again. I loved the south indian restaurant, the fellow that owns it was so friendly and nice. I suspect he has a great sense of humor if you get to know him better. Anyway all was great, we loved it, we would definatly contact you if we come your way again.

  • Our three-night stay was very nice at Kumquat Cottage. We are a family of two adults and two teens and there was plenty of space. The house itself was very artistic, fun, and most comfortable. The kids enjoyed the roof at night while star gazing, while we adults got up early and headed to the roof with our coffee to see the sunrise and enjoy the birds in the trees. The location was very good with an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. We appreciated the use of the laptop to communicate with family back home in the cold winter weather, informing them how lovely and warm Belize was. Roy, Janice, and Kera were all very friendly and helpful. Kera brought us more paper towels and napkins. Roy was even so kind as to drive our family (and luggage) to the bus stop on our day of departure. We hope to stay at Kumquat Cottage again next year! Thanks Philip!

  • Kumquat Cottage is an excellent and beautiful spot for bird watching. We saw Keel-billed Toucans, Collared Aricaris and Robins feeding in the palm trees in the morning and found the whole experience very pleasant and peaceful. It was also great to be able to walk into San Ignacio for food or entertainment every day.

    We just returned from an unforgettable two weeks in Belize and Kumquat Cottage was a unique, fun and welcoming place to stay in San Ignacio. From the time Roy picked us up from the water taxi terminal, we felt that we were in good hands and that we could depend on him for all our needs. The cottage was just as you described, very comfortable quarters for four adults with all the necessary amenities except for a toaster which was brought to us as soon as we mentioned it to Roy. The backyard was a great place to hang out on the hammock and make a BBQ..unfortunatley the kumquats were not in season. Roy's family was most helpful in ensuring that we were looked after. Kera took us grocery shopping the first day and Janice did our laundry. Moreover, we were invited to their house for our last nights dinner and had a great time singing karaoke with them. The location was most convenient as we walked into town on many occasions as well as the Casino and Cahal Pech. The restaurants were all top notch, especially Hannah's Kitchen and Firenze and the tours to Tical, ATM and Mountain Pine Ridge were all excellent. Your tips and recommendations that you gave prior to our arrival were most helpful in making our visit a memorable one. Thanks for everything and we look forward to visiting again in the not too distant future.
