El Hotelito Perdido, hotel in Rio Dulce

El Hotelito Perdido is a little jungle hideaway located in a middle of Rio Dulce National Park.

The Hotelito is a little paradise on earth. The bungalows, but also the simpler rooms are spacious, well ventilated and comfortable. The food is delicious and has absolutely reasonable prices. The staff is amazing, they even organize the tours and shuttles you might need! The common areas are huge, with a lot of hammocks to hang out after a swim in the river. Good to know: The showers run with river water and are a bit salty - but that's not a problem!

Linda Vista, hotel in Rio Dulce

Located in Rio Dulce and with Castillo de San Felipe de Lara reachable within 10 km, Linda Vista provides concierge services, non-smoking rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and a restaurant.

We enjoyed being on the river and the free kayaks. Watching life on the river go on while lounging on the deck. The swimming pool was a good way of cooling off. The food from the restaurant was always good and sometimes excellent. The staff were all super friendly and were always on hand. The owner helped us booked tickets to Livingston. Our room was clean and comfortable and we had space to unpack.

    I really wanted to like Rio Dulce.

    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!

    We are very satisfied about our stay: - hotel boat picks you up from the shuttle stop (we arrived from Lanquin) and they bring you back at check-out - friendly and efficient staff - clean and cute cottage, good showers, comfortable beds - good food and pricing at the restaurant - we did 2 of the activities offered: rainforest path (perfect for a late afternoon sport/nature time) and the sunrise kayaking to see the monkeys. Both recommendable! - relaxing pool area - good cocktails

    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.

    Delicious food (french toast and the buffalo chicken salad are my recommendations!) , impeccably clean hotel, kind and extremely helpful staff. I stayed here towards the end of my travels and had injured my leg, the staff were so helpful and kind with their advice, ice pack and even coming into the pharmacy with me to help me translate when I needed some medication.

    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!

    The hotel is actually much nicer than the photos. Our room was upgraded and we were given an amazing room right next to the water and marina. The pool is large and very clean, And the food at the restaurant was excellent, really good quality, so although a little more expensive than in some places, it was definitely worth it.

    We got a room not facing the street (i.e. #3), and it was one of the best nights of sleep we had in 5 weeks in Guatemala. AC, wifi in the room, very comfortable bed and pillows (way above Guatemala standard) and a great shower. The cafe is also fantastic with delicious breakfast for Q20-Q30.

    We had a very nice one night stay. Unfortunately we arrived late but the hotel still picked us from Rio Dulce. Free boat pickup. Shared bathroom was clean. Clean basic room with a fan. Free kayaks to use around. It’s a good place to relax. Delicious pancakes & fair prices. Helpful staff.

    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.

    No breakfast included so we always went to the back shop for coffee only. I thought it would be included considering the price and the custom of breakfast included in most Guatemalan accommodation It was a great pool and overall the staff tried to do their best

    Food and drink at the hotel is excellent, served with a smile and a chat. The restaurant overlooks the river so the view at meal times is fantastic. We really enjoyed being able to take a kayak down the river.

    Liesel was awesome and communicative. The food was outstanding (did a 4 course dinner with wine pairing), and the whole vibe of the hotel was relaxed and modern while still being an eco lodge.
