Great staff, rooms need work
The staff here were great, however the rooms could use some maintenance and upgrades. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful arranging shuttles to Flores and the airport. Our room was the last building so took a few minutes to find our door. The room itself needed some work. The biggest issue was the AC unit that unfortunately loudly clanked when turned on. The choice was either a hot, stuffy room or a loud AC unit. Neither great for sleep. The bed was very firm, maybe a step up from the floor, and added to sleep difficulties. We had an early flight so not getting quality sleep was frustrating. Again, the staff were excellent, I would just suggest upgrading the mattresses and doing some maintenance work on the AC unit.

We totally love this place! Staff is super friendly, check in was super quick and the food was amazing. This area is very secluded and quiet. No TVs in room which helped us connect with each other. The only issue we had is that the blankets smelled like mold but they changed them immediately once we asked. We recommend it!

Staying here, you are literally in a Jungle. If you do not like the nature, it's noises and surprises, this resort is not for you.
If you are okay with Howler Monkeys waking you up in the middle of the night, a few spiders or Geckos on your ceiling then you will be alright.
This resort is absolutely gorgeous.
Restaurant food was decent, smoothies were excellent.
Only thing I disliked was the cost to taxi to Flores and back every time. 150 GTC each way, some taxi will try charge you 250 GTC. The resort offers a shuttle but that is 30USD for 2 people.
Find a genuine driver. Don't bother with the ones at airport.
Renting a car is worth it.
Late checkout is 6pm ✅

Beautiful Hotel
Beautiful hotel with a resort feel and especially nice for the price. Room was comfortable, grounds well kept, staff friendly, and food at the restaurant was good. They have some great places to relax with a book or watch a sunset, and this would be a good place to take a day trip to Tikal. Guests have the option of air conditioning or enjoying the open air. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back or try out some of the other affiliated properties.
