Independent in Melchor de Mencos from AU$100

"This hotel has exceeded all my expectations. It is truly a hidden gem. The prices are reasonable, the rooms are clean with all necessary modern amenities, yet seem set in the past with beautiful views from private patios overlooking the picturesque lake and rainforest. I've stayed in a luxury suite comparable to any 5 star hotel in the U.S., almost too nice for me yet still affordable, and I moved to a smaller bungalow with a nice view, more reminiscent of rooms I stayed in years ago, as I've extended my stay for a couple more weeks. The food is incredible and even plated and prepared as though by top restauranteurs in the city. The management and staff are very friendy and the grounds are well groomed yet retain the natural beauty of the Peten rainforest. It will be difficult to leave this paradise."

"Nice"

"Loved that the property was near the entrance of Tikal NP."

"Loved being so close to Tikal. Rooms were clean, staff super nice, good food at kitchen, pool was great at the end of the hot day (warm water from the sun so not refreshingly cool but good). Electricity limited - bring uSB plugs (no USB-C ports) - but they will charge devices in the office if you ask. Very few food options nearby but hotel restaurant was very good. Fav: burrito. No AC, ceiling fan only. I opened all windows and propped bathroom door open to get a small cross breeze but nights are still warm. Overall I would choose to stay her every time over the commute to Flores. Just past Jaguar Inn."

"Our stay was beyond great! It was amazingly beautiful, fun, and peaceful!!! The staff is the nicest, most accommodating, and friendly!! The food is fresh and SO DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend this hotel!!! Our favorite? Pool, lake, howling monkeys, spider monkeys, the food, our bungalow… literally everything!!! "
