The Aguada Hotel has a nice looking website.  There's been some confusion since the old one has been taken down.  The newer site address is: http://aguadabelize.com/ and it suits the Aguada perfectly.  Their new road is coming along nicely too.

"This bucolic setting is attractively landscaped with blooming trees, orchids, iguanas, over 63 species of birds, and a lovely array of foliage and flowering plants.  Combined with a charming atmosphere, attractive hardwood interiors, an excellent restaurant and bar, swimming pool complete with a patio, and all located in the best valued hotel in Belize; The Aguada is hard to beat.  This quiet getaway is a welcome change from the hectic pace of downtown San Ignacio."
