Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Izabal

The owners are typically somewhere around, which means they see, and experience their own property often. They take the time to resolve any issues, plan ahead, and keep systems in place that are obviously working which shows up in the quality of the food, the decor, and upkeep. As a single female traveler, I felt very safe overall. The doors locked, there's sufficient lighting, clean paths, honorable and ethical employees- so you aren't being harassed for tips or "dates". They communicated very clearly, and are concise from right after the booking, until I was checked out. If any guest had questions about navigating the river, nearby experiences and tourist destinations, the staff was more than willing to give you honest information. I enjoyed feeling safe to sit in the common areas or on the dock in the evenings. The seating areas are well maintained, and have some lighting, but not too much to be overbearing at night. It would be very hard for random people to come on to the property, so you mostly only interact with people who should be there or are accounted for. I really enjoyed the fresh quality foods, and homemade bread. The portions are large! You definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth plus some. Then there's the dark, rich, delicious chocolate they make on site and serve at dinner... mmmmmmm it's so good! The bed in the first cabin was ok. It wasn't bad, but it did remind me of childhood summer camp. I liked the layout of the second cabin a little better since I had an option to sit downstairs on the couch and could still use the internet since it's closer to the main shared space where the internet is located. The bed in the second cabin I used was better than the first. The mosquito nets and coils are definitely needed, and appreciated. The staff also takes the nets down to clean them periodically. All the work they do in the off season and in between guests really makes a difference!

Comfy jungle cottages on the river,great food,lovely hosts. Serene unique location to relax. Host has boat available to take us touring to the interesting spots on the river and kayaks for our use.Swimming pool was nice.

Great location and atmosphere, the shared dinner was really nice.

Great spot on the water. The hotel manager is super friendly and helpful. I would stay here again!

Such a pretty garden and the staff and the other tourists are so lovely. We had an amazing time there, far away from all the famous tourist hot spots. The view and the location right next to the beach in the junge is stunning.

What a wonderful surprise! I knew from prior reviews that this would be a bit "different", and it was - in a good way! After a few weeks of travel around Belize and Guatemala, our stay here was a real treat. It's off the beaten path, so be mindful of that - but it you want to settle back a bit and chill, this is a really good place to do it. They have all you need, and the A/C and nice clean rooms made for a very pleasant stay. Showers are bracing! The food was good, and the laid-back location was serene. All the tuk-tuk drivers know where to go to get there, and the short walk across the pedestrian bridge and up along the beach is not trying if you're backpacking. It will be a bit more difficult if you're hauling suitcases, but not impossible. Having a flashlight handy after dark is a good idea.

The food! The restaurant has amazing food, delicious!
