Absolutely amazing place, surrounded by the most beautiful nature. There is nothing to do expect going on kayak trips on the river and chilling out by the bar or the hammocks - it is perfect! If you want to rest, this is the place.
The dorms were neat - very spacious, protected from bugs and not too hot. I stayed alone in the bed upstairs for the three nights I was there and it was just like having a private room - a crazy cool private room.
The staff was really friendly and the food was nice.

Great taste on infrastructure , the whole thing sends the right message. A different place ! Nature all around , you’d love it !
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!
We are very satisfied about our stay:
- hotel boat picks you up from the shuttle stop (we arrived from Lanquin) and they bring you back at check-out
- friendly and efficient staff
- clean and cute cottage, good showers, comfortable beds
- good food and pricing at the restaurant
- we did 2 of the activities offered: rainforest path (perfect for a late afternoon sport/nature time) and the sunrise kayaking to see the monkeys. Both recommendable!
- relaxing pool area
- good cocktails
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.
the place is nice but the bad experience I had with the front desk woman was very upsetting she discriminated me sayin I was a Guatemalan and she mistreat all of us referring us as chapines or guatemalians just because I ask about the extra fees I didn’t know and she said it wasn’t her problem if I don’t know how to read and much more very rude woman her name is fulvia Karina
The hotel is actually much nicer than the photos. Our room was upgraded and we were given an amazing room right next to the water and marina. The pool is large and very clean, And the food at the restaurant was excellent, really good quality, so although a little more expensive than in some places, it was definitely worth it.
Beautiful and cosy wooden houses on the river with good restaurant and helpful owners. Their lancia transport to the hotel is very efficient - they pick you up on hour in public lancia port by the bridge. They have kayaks for rent and its close to row to the fort. Very nice place to enjoy the river!
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.
We had a very nice one night stay. Unfortunately we arrived late but the hotel still picked us from Rio Dulce. Free boat pickup. Shared bathroom was clean. Clean basic room with a fan. Free kayaks to use around. It’s a good place to relax. Delicious pancakes & fair prices. Helpful staff.
We absolutely loved to stay in Hotelito! The place is really amazing and the stuff is also helpful. We came by a car, there was safe parking at Bruno ´s hotel in Rio Dulce and then we took a boat to Hotelito. Tim helped us with all. Definitely recommended!
Surprised by the level of comfort offered seen the more remote environment
Hygiene top
Nice terrace with hammock
Possibility to have diner in the hotel
Early morning coffee
Hot water in the shower!
We really enjoyed this place
I had enjoyed very much to stay there. It was a perfect way to end my journey through Guatemala. A great place to relax to eat excellent food and to enjoy the nature and surroundings. Muchas gracias por todo.
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.
I liked that checkin was fast, hotel location was nice and clean, pool was empty.
as is a marine there is no hotel people working there only the marine staff is in charge so expect no much hospitality
Very nice hotel and room in Rio Dulce! The room was well appointed and comfortable. Hotel staff were super helpful contacting a tuk tuk for transport to the main area of Rio Dulce.
