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!
For me, this was one of my "splurges" here in Guatemala. I am pleased to say that it was worth it. I didn't do much other than enjoy the hotel for the 2 full days I was there; my room, the pool, the common space w restaurant, check out their books and do photography. I was able to work online a bit in my room in peace which was nice too. I loved the coffee (hot & free) starting from 5:30am on the dot. The Howler Monkey's will wake you so go to bed early!
Hotel Casa Perico is a great place to relax. In the middle of nature, yet very comfortable. Friendly staff who prepare fine meals. The hotel is only accessible by boat. You can go to the Sundog restaurant in Rio Dulce. Tell the bar that you want to go to the hotel. Then a free shuttle will be organised. The boat trip takes 5-10 minutes.
There is free canoe rental, which I enjoyed very much.
The manager - Angela - is incredible! A true hospitality professional (rare in Central America!) & excellent travel advice. She the reason our stay was as amazing as it was! The hotel itself is beautiful, We stayed in the "Enchanted Cottage", which was just lovely. The entire property has charming board walks and paths. The restaurant was ideal - delicious menu!
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!
El Hotelito Perdido is a hidden gem. We loved this place (and the food!) very much and it is a perfect spot at Rio Dulce to relax, enjoy nature or go kayaking. The whole team is super friendly and helpful. The cabins are beautiful - only the fan was hardly enough but that was due to the extremely hot weather:).
We will definitely come back!
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!
The hotel has a nice rustic vibe but the room felt clean. The restaurant has nice options, the home made bagels were delicious and the restaurant hostess was very friendly and nice. I would love to come back and stay a couple of days (just me and my wife) kids might get bored on a longer stay.
Lovely rooms (incl airconditioning), nice pool, good food, great staff. After getting ripped of at the Boatique Hotel, this was a great alternative. We wanted to do the jungle walk before it was open due to a shuttle we had to catch. The staff organised that we could get in early.
amazing riverside spot, boat collected us on arrival into Rio Dulce with no issues. kayaked straight from the hotel and jumped in the water from the rope swing! restaurant good and great happy hour. our bungalow was really cool built over the water. great shower and huge bed!
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.
One of the best places we stayed in Guatemala. Staff and owner were very friendly. They can also arrange for you a boat tour which will pick you up from the hotel. Rooms are sparkling clean.
Very nice hotel and room in Rio Dulce! The room was well appointed and comfortable. Hotel staff were super helpful contacting a tuk tuk for transport to the main area of Rio Dulce.
forgot my iphone charger but we’re not willing to look for a. solution to return it. literally said: it’s not the problem of the hotel. Overpriced hotel
