Beautiful bungalow in the jungle. We booked probably the biggest cottage, in reality it turned out to be even more beautiful than in the pictures. Tasty food and unique atmosphere!

Wonderful hotel right on the waterfront with a view of the castle. The building is very nice and well maintained. The staff is very helpful. Enrique is the best. The menu is simple but suitable for a few days. Rio Dulce is a 5-minute boat ride away. The sunset is amazing.

So kind of them, fortunately problem resolved without further actions.

Everything! Cannot fault a thing. The lodge is beautiful. The service outstanding. The price is right for the area and location. We experienced the worst storm they had in 12 years. Rain, wind leaves and branches flying everywhere at the start of dinner service. The staff did a great job at keeping calm and functioning under pressure. They even cleaned in no time no had dinner served for everyone after the worst was over, I was more then impressed as this was going above and beyond

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Pool was refreshing- needs a paint but I believe this is about to happen. Room was simple but comfortable. Good shower with hot water. Beds were very comfy. Lovely calm atmosphere. Restaurant and pool look out over the river. Dinner at restaurant was a bit pricey but good quality. Feels safe with a security gate and a long driveway off the main road.

This was our best stay in Guatemala. The area was very beautiful, rooms very cosy & comfortable and swimming pool very nice as well. A special thanks to the kitchen staff for making great food and to the guy helpig us out trying to arrange shuttle transport. The hotel also contributed to sustainable travelling and supported local communities by hiring local people which we can only support.

Absolutely everything. It is very rare when you arrive at your accommodation that you are actually lost for words about how amazing the place you have just arrived at is. Daria and Doug were welcoming and warm from the moment that we arrived, and honestly, the Villa we stayed in blew us away. It is truly beautiful and even has its own private lagoon, for God's sake. The bed is super comfortable, and we felt like we had a real home away from home for a few days. The food and drinks at the restaurant are excellent, and honestly, we just never wanted to leave. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. It is remote, has awesome access to Livingston and is a great lancha journey from the main town itself, which is really nothing more than a landing point. I had been eyeing off this place since the owners first opened last November and waiting for some reviews to appear and feel really fortunate that we were able to secure the Villa and stay at this incredible part of the world. Cannot recommend any more highly.

    Rio Dulce is a great spot to vacation, it's very relaxing.

    Rio Dulce is a great spot to vacation, it's very relaxing. If you want more night life...then probably best to stay in Livingston. If you are ever in Livingston, the best Tapado was at a small restaurant Restaurante Gabby!! Unforgettable!! El Viajero didn't come close in flavor, maybe we just went on a bad day. Must see Siete Altares, beautiful waterfalls and blue turquoise water. We never felt unsafe, it's a very tranquil place in Rio Dulce.

    If you travel solo you can't do anything as it's just for groups else yours are in excess of £250! It's not safe to hike to seven altars alone (I was told by locals) so it's just very far for no reason. The bus from GC was supposed to be 5 hours but it was 11!

    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.

    - Food was delicious! - Staff very helpful! They recommended El Boquerón to us which we hadn’t heard about and absolutely loved it. I left a pair of swimwear behind after checking out and they kindly sent it to Rio Dulce Travel office for me to collect. - Location. There’s lots of great hotels/hostels/eco lodges along Rio Dulce, but Tortugal was perfect because there’s access to the main road where you can then go to the hot waterfall or Boquerón and also into Rio Dulce easily.

    This place is very close to paradise. The design of the hotel is very well thought, making it integrated with nature while being very elegant, comfortable and ecofriendly. The facilities are very clean anytime and you can find many spots to chill, relax and enjoy nature. The staff is very helpful and the food is great. Location is great, in a 3 minute boat shuttle you are in Rio dulce where you can take buses to Guatemala city or taxis to visit San Felipe Castle

    Lovely hotel with comfortable and well sized rooms. The shower was hot and had good pressure - this has been pretty much impossible for us to find in Guatemala so far so a real plus point! The staff were very helpful and friendly, making sure we made our early bus from the town (the hotel is a short boat ride away from the main town centre of Rio Dulce - no bad thing as we weren't impressed with the town). The food in the restaurant was very tasty.

    Such an amazing location, far away from any city and deep in the rain forest. The team at the hotel has a long list of activities that they can arrange for you so there is plenty to do. Also, all the guests eat dinner together every night so it's a great place to mingle with fellow travelers.
