Amazing spot on the Rio Dulce river. The staff was very kind, and they would help you with any question.
They cook home made food which is delicious.
You can rent kayaks and SUP for a very convenient price.
We loved it there!
Although we happened to be there in a very hot and humid day, we did enjoy the stay 100%.
There are a lot of travelers and you can meet new people, the environment is friendly and chill.

Place was lovely and so was the staff. About 20 minute walk from where the buses let you off or the lanchas. She helped to arrange a boat to Livingston and made pancakes in the morning for everyone at the hostel. Stayed there again after going to livingston I liked it so much.
I really wanted to like Rio Dulce. It turned out to be only a hub for boat and bus travel for me. Having spent two months in Guatemala by the time I got there, I was not surprised by the poverty or conditions. That said, I didn’t find much other than the castle to be places I wanted to see more of. It was very hot and humid in early July.

Beautiful remote location with many jungle lodges (from super remote to more public) along the river. Great jungle hikes, caves, kayaking with plenty of nature and wildlife. Definitely a required stop when visiting Guatemala, will visit again!
Excellent wooden cabin room, very cozy and comfortable, enough space and amenities.
Location is fantastic and feels very much like part of the jungle. There's even a crocodile in the creek flowing through the finca and joining Rio Dulce. The hotel has its own landing and you can do a great boat trip down to Livingston or up to the lake. Very reasonable price for a great lodging experience. Stayed an extra night!
Free kayaks to swimming spot. Nice and knowledgeable owner. Food was good and often better value than in town. 10 minute boat ride to Rio Dulce town. No personal food allowed at the restaurant area, but there's tables near the rooms where you can eat your leftovers or snacks. Saw some small turtles in the mangroves and bigger ones at the swimming spot!
Nice staff and room! It is noisy die to the road but if you live in the city it is the same amount of noise.
We were so tired from our trip from Mexico city and went straight to Rio dulce it was easy for us to fall a sleep
Also pick up (collectivo/public boat) from the hotel to Livingstone and other river lodges
We loved how close the hotel was to the lake and that everything was clean. Having AC was a definite bonus, as was the relaxing hammock on the front porch of the hotel. It had everything we needed without unnecessary frills. Wifi worked well too, as did water pressure and water temperature regulation.
I enjoyed my stay in the hostel! I checked in at 11.30 pm and that was no problem at all. The room and bathroom were very clean, the wifi was decent enough to get some work done and Flor even warmed up my breakfast after my meeting ended. Would recommend it if you stay the night in Rio Dulce town!
This was consistently the best food we had during our whole stay in Guatemala. The common lodge was so homey and inviting. We loved hearing the rain on our tin roof in our building. Bonus: The ferry to Livingston left directly from the Hotel pier. It was wonderful.
We absolutely loved to stay in Hotelito! The place is really amazing and the stuff is also helpful. We came by a car, there was safe parking at Bruno ´s hotel in Rio Dulce and then we took a boat to Hotelito. Tim helped us with all. Definitely recommended!
The hotel itself is outstanding and has great amenities. A nice common restaurant/hangout area , HOT water with good pressure, spotlessly clean bathrooms and rooms with comfy beds. Food was great and staff were helpful.
I loved everything about my stay at Tortugal. From the staff, service, attention, food, grounds, lodging, and peacefulness. Angela, Leo, and Rudy were amazing. They went above and beyond to make us feel like stars!!
Really comfortable and clean, wifi and ac worked perfectly. The hotel is really easy to find, there are lots of restaurants and shops around, big supermarket (with safe cash machines) is about 3 minutes walk.
Situated right on the water, this hotel offered a beautiful restaurant, hammocks to relax in, and the breeze off the water was wonderful. The room was very clean, the shower had good hot water and pressure.
The location is amazing, very relaxing and welcoming, didn't feel like a hostel/hotel . By far one of the best places i'v ever stayed. Its a very quiet area and perfect for escapism in nature
