Tortugal Boutique River Lodge

Hotel in Rio Dulce

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.

This is a great place, accessible by boat, usually from the Sundogs bar who will call the Lodge for you. Tortugal has a great restaurant & bar with reasonable prices & apart from a big lunch one day in Livingstone, we didn't eat anywhere else. They can also do a fantastic plate of chicken nachos for a light meal in the evening in those circumstances The room we had was a hut right on the river itself with a large bedroom, a great balcony & hammock.The bathroom however is small - but that is similar to many places in Central America. Hot water in both the shower & sink - unusual in Central America, but no shampoo supplied which is unusual Free coffee was available each morning from 6am & we would get this & just sit on our balcony & watch the river waking up before breakfast. Angela the Manager was superb, extremely helpful & great company at breakfast & dinner. They can do laundry for you & I would highly recommend this place.

Cool little secluded spot. Can only vouch for the doorm room, which was simple but nice. No fans or ac, but located on the 3rd floor with open windows, and the temperature at night was on point. Friendly staff and a good relaxed vibe away from traffic. Flexible with the boat transfer if you willing to chip in a few bucks for the gas and service

The accommodation is so beautiful, so much attention is given to the plants and walking routes. We really enjoyed to walk around and even saw a wild crocodile! We also did a hike on a nature trail set out by the accommodation. The bungalow was also lovely, spacious and with airco. Great food and very friendly staff.

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.

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.

Booked 2 nights and stayed 4! The hotel was just what I was expecting, very relaxing and loads of activities to choose from every day. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff was kinda and extremely helpful! We were worried about the heat, but the evenings were cool and the fans helped. Thank you to Tim, Alejandra, and the rest of the crew!
