In the Rio Dulce river near a 16th century castle the Tortugal Boutique River Lodge peninsula is bathed by almost constant on shore breezes providing a cool and refreshing place.

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!

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. 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!
This was a great place to escape into the jungle for a few days. We absolutely had a wonderful time! The Naranjo bungalow was spacious and comfortable.. we enjoyed lounging in the hammocks and listening to the night-time jungle sounds. The kitchen produces wonderful meals; very big portions to very good value for money. The family that runs the hotel is super nice and down-to-earth.. they were very helpful for my wife when we had a small injury. Highly highly recommend this place. It is a haven!
Beautiful setting fitting into environment perfectly
Wonderful property with lots of varied areas to sit, do yoga, swim, kayak, etc
Exceptional food at very good prices - lots of variety, great flavours, consistency
Frequent water shuttles into town at no cost
Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff
Overall perhaps the best eco hotel in Rio Dulce….a MUST STAY…you won’t be disappointed
the place is nice but the bad experience I had with the front desk woman was very upsetting she discriminated me sayin I was a Guatemalan and she mistreat all of us referring us as chapines or guatemalians just because I ask about the extra fees I didn’t know and she said it wasn’t her problem if I don’t know how to read and much more very rude woman her name is fulvia Karina
Compared to most other places on the Rio Dulce, the price for both rooms and food was superb. The owner was lovely and the hotel was really cozy. You could pay 3Q to refill water and beer was a decent rate. More so we loved the access to free kayaks for sunset on the floating dock and we miss Doris the cat like hell. Xx
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.
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.
Boatique hotel is based on a very beautifull spot at Rio Dulce! You are surrounded by jungle and the Canadian couple really welcomes you very friendly! we were on honeymoon and got a room upgrade as a better room was available - Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable!
An amazing, quite place with a great staff and delicious food. The location is close to Rio Dulce town but far enough away to be secluded. The have a boat that picks you up for free and the staff helped with lots of questions about tours and transportation to Honduras.
Great place to unwind for a few days, you are in middle of a lake with no roads! be prepared to stay at hotel a lot of the time, staff only speak Spanish but I liked this as I’m trying to learn Spanish (use it as an opportunity to learn)
top hotel in a superb location, in the middle of the jungle, really very friendly staff!!! the best is the pool as you cannot swim in the river due to alligators, free lancha (boat) service for arriving and if you check out
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.
Loved the setting, a hidden gem on the rio dulce, they have a free shuttle to take you from the puerto to the hotel. Rooms are nice, all open so you can wake up with the sound of birds.
Exceptional service. Hotel staff helps you with your bags all the way to your room. The restaurant serves great food all the workers there are awesome. Bruno the bartender is the best!
The best part was the wonderful host Angela. Hotel located in a really idyllic place only a short ride out of town . Food excellent . Angela fantastic .
Great hotel .
