I liked the views, the activities you could do at the hotel and you could spend time alone or with the other guests.
GuatemalaThe Host and owners Tim and Alejandra went out of their way to make sure everything that I was comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful and polite, . The room and bed was comfortable and the food was also very good. The property is one and a half hour kayak ride from waterfall ( the row alone is is very beautiful) and half and hour from mangroves.
South AfricaBeautiful, clean, quiet, yummy food, and overall amazing! The owner and support staff are all absolutely wonderful and go out of there way to make sure all their guests are comfortable. They can provide you with any information you might need about going around the lake to tour different sites, and have kayaks etc. for rent at the hostel. We will definitely be back next time we stay at the Rio Dulce!
United States of AmericaFood was great. It is vegetarian and more expensive then most places in Guatemala, but this reflects the remoteness of the location and was was fair. Really enjoyed my stay and would recommend.
ThailandThis hotel was the highlight of our vacation! It's located in the middle of the jungle with lot's of things to do. The staff was very helpful and explained us with great detail how to get there from Antiqua. Also on our way out, the staff helped us perfectly with the continuation of our travels. The family style diner was very good and tasteful. Last, but not least: the ambiance is great and the environment is just breathtaking.
NetherlandsProperty had a great vibe, it was beautiful, great location and amazing food. The staff and new owner were very friendly and helpful. I honestly can’t say enough, would have stayed longer if we could have.
United States of Americafood was delicious. loved kayaking into the mangroves and down the rio dulce to Livingstone. other activities to do as well. very relaxing and peaceful place to spend time.
CanadaBeautiful setting and wonderful accommodations. We were in the Papaya Bungalow and it was amazing. Very private with two stories and a large outdoor deck with hammocks. The food was delicious and I liked sitting with the other guests to share the day. Took the kayak, with a guide, to the Manatee Preserve. None spotted but a wonderful excursion. Paddled to the restaurant on the river for music and great fish.
United States of AmericaI liked the remoteness of this location but that also meant that you were reliant on the hotel for all meals and other needs. Taking a boat is the only way to get anywhere else from the hotel - no walking.
United States of AmericaBeautifully handcrafted accommodations with very comfortable bed with excellent mosquito netting. Wonderfully engaging and helpful owner living on-site, International guests eating delicious vegan food at communal table. Total isolation in a riverine environment, and kayaking on side steams of Rio Dulce. Price of accommodations and meals were reasonable.
