El Hotelito Perdido Reviews

Description

El Hotelito Perdido ("Lost little hotel") is a small jungle ecological hideaway situated in the heart of the Rio Dulce National Park. We are across the river from the mineral thermal springs and the kayaking distance from Rio Dulce Canyon, Manatee Reserve and some beautiful waterfalls. Although it feels like a million miles from anywhere, being just off the popular tourist route between Livingston and the town of Rio Dulce means that the hotel is easily accessible by boat.
Our lodge is built in the typical jungle style. The accommodation we provide ranges from a five-bed 'dormitory' to cozy split-level bungalows equipped with a toilet and shower. You can choose according to your taste and budget.
We rent kayaks and wooden cayucos, there is dock to swim from, beautiful tropical gardens with fruit trees, plenty of hammocks to relax in, games to play and good books to read. There is communal house with bar, lounge, restaurant area and kitchen. Near the communal house is a b-b-q area and there is a hammock house by the dock. All of the electricity used by the hotel comes from solar power.
We offer drinks, homemade food, we make our own bread and we eat our evening meal together, family style. We organize guided tours to Tiger Cave, Maya Q'eqchi Village, Livingston and Manatee Reserve.

The hotel can currently accommodate 15 guests and we offer:
