The advantage of this hotel is that it was located only a block south of the Caye Caulker boat pier. It is definitely within the "get what you pay for" category but the room was clean and large enough. The bathroom had a shower with adequate hot water and space for accessories. On the down side the room was dimly... more

After reading the reviews decided to stay at Ruby's. It is very practical and provides the basics. Very easy to e-mail hotel and make a reservation and also the staff is very friendly and helpful. It is in a perfect location. About 300 feet from the airport, so you walk to the hotel from San Pedro Airport. Close to Aqua... more

We stayed in one of the newer, concrete, A/C capable rooms, with a private balcony facing the beach. To respond to some earlier reviews, I can see where rooms facing the street or being on the first floor would be a lot noisier, as the decks there are used by patrons of Ruby's cafe every morning. In other words, consider... more

We had a room on 3rd floor facing on a terrace with a spectacular view on the beach and the ocean (we keep making our friends jealous with photos we took there). Location is next to the beach, right in the middle of the town - perfect for scubadiving and snorkeling (3-4 scuba rentals/boat trip organizers in the range of... more

Just back from my third trip to Ambergris Caye (1991, 2006, 2007) and my third time at Ruby's Hotel. Maybe I should get out more and have a life! However, when you've discovered the proverbial "home away from home", why look any further? Owned and operated by a Hispanic family, they work hard to make their guests satisfied. Most single/double... more

Ruby's is a great place to stay if you are on a budget. I stayed with my friend (we are both 27) in a room with a double bed and a twin bed, full bath, and 2 massive floor fans. We paid 15USD each, per night. We did not have an ocean view (as it wasn't available) but I would... more

Ruby's this place is the most down home and comfortable I've ever been. I don't mean in as in 5 star hotel I mean as in the way they make you feel you are one of the family. I've stayed at Ruby's 5 times and they get to know you as a regular. If you don't like your room just... more

I have been to Belize 3 times and everytime I have stayed at Ruby's for part of the time, and can't wait to go back again! If you want to go to Belize and stay in a Resort and not really see what true Belize is like Ruby's is not for you. Experience the true essence of Belize here!! Great... more

Maybe the rooms on the top floor are better, but I stayed here the night I arrived and went hunting for a better hotel the next morning. The room was on the bottom floor right next to the restaurant and the walls were paper thin. I woke up at 5 am with a noisy group of men right outside my... more

My friend and I stayed at Ruby's for 3 nights in April and it was great. It's not the Four Seasons and we were ok with that - for $40 a night, what can you expect? But the room was clean, the twin beds were surprisingly comfortable, the bathroom was a good size, and the fan worked well! Our room... more
