You can't beat the location being so close to Semuc Champey. At first I didn't think that was such a big deal, but it was super convenient to not have to be traveling anymore. The staff is excellent! Very friendly and very helpful!

Breakfast was just right amount of food and was very good. Great GREAT location. Pool was nice and felt great. Tour from the hostel was also very good

The location is definitely one of the best things about this property. While it is a long haul in, you are right next door to Semuc Champey pools and can walk over at your leisure. The facilities were clean and nicely laid out. The restaurant was nice overlooking the river. My kids enjoyed the pool in the evening and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

This was our favorite stay during our three weeks in Guatemala. This hotel is minutes walk from the caves and Semuc. Any other location is a 40 minute pickup truck drive away, which would not be nice if you are cold and wet. We stayed two nights and did the tour backwards, with the caves the first afternoon and Semuc the next morning. The property and views were beautiful. I can't say enough about the staff. They were all in their low 20's. The same few made us breakfast, lunch and dinner, took us on the tours, and danced with the kids at night. It was truly awesome and we will remember this forever.

the fact that when I bother to write a review for you it is obvious that you cannot be bothered to read it / register it because booking.com continues to send pestering messages to write a review - if it continues I will obviously not bother to write a review
location, attitude of the staff, cleanliness and pleasant food - very good value

The food is not very inspired and could definitely be improved. Mosquito screens on the windows would be a huge improvement, I didnt dare to switch on the light after dark out of fear to attract a lot of insects.
The location is perfect, 3 minutes walk from the entrance of the park. I didnt mind the absence of electricity during the day, the lack of hot water and internet, its perfectly fine for a few days.

There is no internet or hot water. Important to know that the electricity is one only for few hours at the evening.
The location is perfect, In the middle of the forest. The food is nice and the atmosphere is very good.

Nothing. It is basic but you know that in front.
Quite an adventure to get there! The "road" is very bad... The cabins are small but nice, staff is super, the scenery beautiful, the swimming pool refreshing and the food is great! We really had a few great days there. Thanx Cesar and Friends! Peter.

Not doubling up the cabins. If the cabin above you is occupied, you feel every move they make. The mattress was super thin.
Can't beat the location. The dorms were clean. The price was decent, and the tour very reasonably priced. Staff was super friendly.

The large window in the bedroom that looked full length into the shower an in some areas of the room directly at the toilet.... why????? There was no way to screen it off. Also the bathroom walls were only partial and didn’t go to the roof, so it was screened off rather than self contained.
Great location in very easy walking distance to the limestone pools and caves.

The walls and floor are so thin you can hear everything. We slept on the 2nd floor and could hear the people under us going to the bathroom plus light coming from their area. The wall with the next door 2nd story neighbors was so thin that we could hear every conversation and anything the other couple did. So gross!
The location is a 2 minute walk to Semuc Champey.

“Magical location - 2 minutes walk to Semuc Champey w/friendly staff, great cabins. Loved our stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

The setting was amazing - literally a couple of minutes walk to the entrance of Semuc Champey itself. It means you can literally be the first people to arrive in the park itself the next day. We had the pools in Semuc to ourselves for hours before anyone else arrived which was just magical. El Portal has wonderful views over the river, the famous yellow bridge and the jungle itself. We stayed in a private cabin with bathroom and it was clean and comfortable with chairs outside so we could sit and relax and admire the view. There's a swimming pool on site, plus they can organise inner tubing and tours to the caves if you'd like. The food and drinks were great plus the staff were friendly and super helpful. The hostel picks you up from your bus in Lonquin (free of charge) and drops you back (again free of charge). FYI- Be aware that this is rural living with electricity only available for certain number of hours every day. This added to the magic of the place for us because we were literally off the grid!
