History & Owners
Mr. Andy Lee came from Hong Kong to Belize in search of a more quiet life. He was previously in the hotel business in Hong Kong and he desired to provide a needed service at the entrance to the country so that travelers would not have to go all the way to San Ignacio if they needed a place to stay. He opened Maxim?s Palace in 1993. Mr. Lee also enjoys traveling and he strives to make travelers feel at home when they stay in his hotel. He enjoys photography, reading and is active in the Chinese Association of the Cayo District.

Location & Directions
41 Church Hill Street, Benque Viejo Town
Coming from San Ignacio on the Western Highway about ? mile past the entrance to Xunantunich Maya Site is a three-way intersection. Left takes you around on a boulevard to the Belize/Guatemala border crossing. Straight takes you into Benque. Go straight up the street (which is one way) and pass the bus station on the right. Go a few more blocks up and then turn left. Go one block and turn left at the next corner, Churchill Street. This is a one-way street going down from the direction you just came from. You will see Maxim?s Palace on the left. If you are coming from the border, the easiest way to get to the hotel is by taxi.
