8.6/10 Excellent! (322 reviews)

Room was super clean, bed was comfy. Housekeeping was done daily. The housemaid even arranged my PJs on the bed as I left them on the floor which was a nice touch. Staff was really accomodating, although at night there is only one guy at the front desk. Pool was nice, it was not heated, but refreshing nonetheless. Furniture around the property are showing their age, specially in the pool and in my room at least. Rooms are air conditioned, which is nice given the heat of the area. There is a supermarket a block away with all the usual necessities. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant was okay, although they open late (7am) and prices are on the pricey side for what it is (60 quetzales + tip per person). Overall I would stay again if the price is right.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (248 reviews)

Gorgeous, stunning property. Isolated however easily accessible via boat to the main land. There are a lot of amenities such as kayaking, paddle boating, hiking and a spa. It’s an amazing getaway, removed from all the excitement and noisiness on the mainland of Flores. The staff is amazing - so attentive and they made themselves easily accessible to answer any questions and fulfill any requests. They organized my trip to Tikal with transportation, a guide and food. They also organized a breakfast box for me for 2 days in a row due to having to leave early and miss the sit down breakfast. The restaurant had some tasty options for dinner. Overall a great hotel that I would definitely recommend and would visit again
