Great place to stay for two nights, especially if you’re doing the sunrise tour to Tikal. The eating area outside with the Toucan Express Service was nice, the room was large with good A/C, and staff were helpful.

We stayed one out of the planned three nights at Sun Breeze, because we discovered bed bugs after the first night. The day after our first night, we discovered some weird bites in a line, consistent with bed bug bites. We saw some weird marks and remains on the mattress and requested to change rooms. In the new room we checked the bed thoroughly and found a dead bed bug. The mattress was also not clean. We told the owner and he did not care, and told us we could leave if we wanted. When we notified the hotel management about bed bugs, we expected that this would cause a response, or action to fumigate the room. However, the owner didn’t even get out of the couch he was on, and laughed us out of the hotel. Very unprofessional behavior, and it would not surprise me if this grows in to a larger infestation because it is not being handled. Petén and El Remate are buggy and there were some cockroaches and normal bugs in the room - while this is not great, it is to be expected in the “jungle”. However bed bugs are completely unacceptable. Do not stay here! You will have to fumigate all your things to prevent taking the bugs home.

Clean, comfortable, very peaceful, staff were lovely, very safe, food and service were brilliant. The gentleman cooked us beautiful fresh soups and salads when we arrived. We also stayed at Alice's guesthouse for a few nights, which was fully booked but this place was empty, we don't know why!! Both are beautiful places but this is cheaper and the rooms are bigger and cooler, book here!! They deserve the business, Alices is v good too tho

Whole the place is made with lots of care of the detailes and love, Art and supreme Quality.
I had the cheapest room and still the matterece was great quality and so comfortable.
The bathroom is like from a fairy tale, so speciouse and magical.
No plastic around and free drinking water added lots of value too.
I wish sooo much to be back on day in Alice Guesthouse and stay longer...

Very nice, tranquil location next to the lake and the forest.
The staff is friendly and helpful, we could even rent a motorcycle.
Tikal is not far away and it's much less crowded than Flores.

It's super close to the public beach at the lake. Bruno is so nice he let us use his kitchen while we stayed there!
Our room was simple but comfortable and the wifi worked well.
Much more relaxing here than Flores or Santa Elena.
Much more relaxing here than Flores or Santa Elena. You can easily get the colectivo for 25 QTZ to flores, and it drops you back in centre of El Remate. Sometimes they even go to your hostel along the main road if you ask nicely. A few restaurants and shops but the highlight is definitely the views of the lake, sunset over the water, sitting on the dock!

El Remate is a small relaxed village near Flores but with a very different vibe. The lake is amazing to swim in and to be around and the howler monkeys place in the trees above the streets. Beautiful hidden location

Amazing experience!
Amazing experience! Real nature immersive experience but only a half hour away from town. Definitely consider all options (and reviews!!) when choosing accommodation.. the range is large and a little bit of a splurge goes a loooong way.
The lake is peaceful and truly picture perfect, well worth the trip for sunrise and sunset alone. Pick a place with kayaks/paddleboards included!

I liked the comidors tipico. Authentic local food. Everything is within walking distance. Small town. The sunsets and stargazing here are top notch. I would avoid Tienda El Remate. The guy charged me more for the same product 3 days in a row. When I told him the price was higher than the day before, he shrugged me off and walked away. There are plenty of other tiendas in town. Great location for visiting Tikal- only about a 40 minute shuttle. If you plan to do a sunrise tour of Tikal, you should consider getting your ticket at a Banrural before arriving here.

El Remate is a small lake side town.
El Remate is a small lake side town. We thought it was perfect on our trip to Tikal. After visiting the ruins you can enjoy the view on the lake or jump in and cool off. in comparison to Flores it is not very touristy and if you visit a restaurant you will be treated as a friend. It is for sure a fun place to relax.
Literally everything. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the service impeccable. Drifting up to the property via boat and taking the funicular up to the hotel is a must - so unique and felt like I had entered the video game Riven/Myst! Such a special experience that my kids and I will never forget. The lake set up is beautiful and so quiet/private, and the pool option is also lovely with great views of the lake. Everything was beautiful, the attention to detail was so appreciated, and their tours are fantastic!
Despite being a little up the hill from the lake and in jungle this lodge was spotlessly clean. The construction of everything was beautiful and obviously done with a lot of care and skill. We spoke for a long time with the caretaker Santos, and he was one of the most friendly and helpful people we have met in Guatemala. This lodge is quiet and great for a nature experience. We felt lucky to have stayed here. We did the nature walk at the Biotopo next door and saw both Howler and Spider monkeys.
Located by the lake and in the greenery of trees and flowers, this accomodation is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the nature. Nearby docks allows you to soak the sunrise and sunset (even some rooms). It's 15 minutes walking from the centre of the village, 10 minutes from some good restaurants. Also the food is good in this accomodation. They can help you and arrange some transports or trip. Don't be fooled by Google maps, continue walking on main road until the sign for the hotel.
Nice welcome the owner is very kind. She will answer your questions with a lovely smile and help you if she Can. Rooms don't face directly the street so it is quiet. Affordable price. Nice terrasse in front of the room. Hot shower with good pressure. Close to eveything in town (shops restaurants lake for the sunset) and easy to catch a collectivo to Tikal. We were very happy to choose this place and el remate instead of flores to start our stay in Guatemala
This family-run hotel is a great choice. The host is so friendly and speaks very good English. Check in is very fast and easy. The room is very clean and air-conditioning is very powerful.
We parked the car in the courtyard inside the hotel with gates, very safe.
It is a wonderful stay after visiting Tikal.
We booked very early so we had a great price. The host honored the price, unlike some other hotels on this trip, asking us to pay more.
This hotel is truly remarkable. Its architecture not only dazzles the eye but also ingeniously combats Petén's high temperatures. The staff are exceptionally friendly, and the hotel's "no music" policy preserves its serene atmosphere, offering a perfect escape from city life.
We especially adore the tranquil lake harbors for swimming and relaxation.
The f
ood they gave us was also great!
Best hotel in El Remate. Extremely affordable and great facilities. We arrived many hours before check-in and were accommodated by Humberto. The little kitchen is perfect and has everything you need to cook. The hotel is very close the water where you can jump off a 2m platform into the warm lake. 10/10 would stay here again.
Really tranquil spot in El Remate. Very well constructed and designed with health and leisure in mind. Staffs were very nice. Had a family room which was large with nice features. We were dropped off by a shuttle in El Remate by the main road; about a 2 mile walk to the hotel or you could likely take a tuk tuk.
The stay at Alice was really nice - lovely garden and beautiful, clean dorms. The outdoor shower is a dream and you feel so close to the jungle around you. The lake for a swim is only a 5min walk away. Also the manager Dulce took great care of all guests - can highly recommend Alice for staying in El Remate!
The peer out in the lake right across is just lovely, full of colour over a cristalclear water. We enjoyed diving in and having our feet eaten by little fish. The owner - a French guy who had at one point escaped his home country - keeps this hotel going, but barely though...
The location was amazing, and the property is beautiful, well maintained, and the most delicious Guatemalan breakfast. I will definitely recommend Alice Guesthouse to anyone visiting Tikal and its beautiful surroundings.
It was an amazing, relaxing, and refreshing experience. The place is so in touch with nature and everyone at the hotel made me feel like home. I totally recommend it and I hope to be back someday.
The hotel is very nice, food is pricey but good, the staff is so friendly and the beach is beautiful. you can listen to birds and monkeys hawling all day.
