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.

- 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.

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.

Tenamit Maya, hotel in Rio Dulce

Set in El Higuerito, a few steps from Ribera Rio Dulce Beach, Tenamit Maya has a number of amenities including a garden, a restaurant and a bar. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

It was a very nice stay. The staff was very nice and the food was tasty (we got huge portions). We swam in the river, went zip line and kayaking. It is very quiet and pleasant around. Beautiful place. There were some mosquitoes, but that's obvious if you book a house in such a place. And the location is great.

    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!

    Beautiful place on the river. The port staff were really helpful in ringing the hotel and the boat came immediately. Staff were really helpful in hiring us a boat for a full day on the river and organised it all. The room was a great jungle lodge experience with extremely comfortable beds (best we've ever slept in) and very hot showers. Food was gorgeous from the restaurant and very reasonable. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Very welcoming for families. Great pontoon to swim off. Great library where we all restocked our reading material!

    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.

    very eco friendly place, but still comfortable. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We took a mini tour boat around the lake (independent vender, but reception staff have contact numbers), did a Kayak tour at 5:30 am in which we saw some hauling monkeys, and they have a nice hiking trWe did not eat in the hotel restaurant so can’t weigh in on that.

    Free kayaks to swimming spot. Nice and knowledgeable owner. Food was good and often better value than in town. 10 minute boat ride to Rio Dulce town. No personal food allowed at the restaurant area, but there's tables near the rooms where you can eat your leftovers or snacks. Saw some small turtles in the mangroves and bigger ones at the swimming spot!

    This hotel is amazing. We stayed in a hut in the middle of the jungle. The hut itself was thoughtfully designed with rare tropical wood like mahogany. It was beautiful, comfortable, quiet and the surroundings were magical. Tim and his team are the most wonderful hosts. The food is healthy and delicious. This place is a hidden gem.

    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.

    Atmospheric wooden hostel set deep in the mangroves. One can swim (no crocodiles) and rent kayaks. Good food (best nachos ever). They pick you up by boat from Rio Dulce town. They will organise a boat tour to Livingston from their dock at no extra cost.

    The place is beautiful, facilities are clean and uniquely thought out. Food at the restaurant is good. They have a boat shuttle to take you to hotel for free. The place is environmentally conscious. Pool is great and there are monkeys around.

    Situated right on the water, this hotel offered a beautiful restaurant, hammocks to relax in, and the breeze off the water was wonderful. The room was very clean, the shower had good hot water and pressure.
