The hype
Reviewers universally adore the staff (especially Elmer and Alex) and the 'magical' setting, often calling it the best hotel they've ever stayed in.
Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel
$280-450/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a luxury jungle hideout with private jacuzzis and monkeys on your balcony, but don't mind being a 15-minute drive from the actual town of Flores.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Private decks with jacuzzis overlooking the lagoon
- Daily boat tours to 'Monkey Island' where spider monkeys jump on board
- Immaculate cleanliness that defies the jungle setting
Snel Overzicht: A stunning, isolated eco-resort where the nature is world-class but the on-site restaurant prices might make you wince.
Beoordeeld door @simply.ashlyn.marie: I stayed in this waterfront suite and the sunset views from the jacuzzi were absolutely unreal. It was the most romantic part of our Guatemala trip and felt totally private.

Reality check
While the rooms and wildlife are perfect, many guests feel trapped by the food options and eventually escape to Flores for better, cheaper meals.
- You love wildlife photography (monkeys, birds, tapirs)
- You want total privacy and silence at night
- You appreciate a 'rustic luxury' aesthetic with lots of wood and stone

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- Airport shuttle is NOT always free; confirm cost (approx. $10-15 taxi or hotel surcharge) before landing.
- The hotel is on a private reserve, so you can't just 'walk into town'.
- Check-in is at 3:00 PM, but they are often accommodating with early arrivals if you want to use the pool.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- High-strength bug spray (DEET) — it is the jungle, after all.
- Binoculars for bird and monkey watching from your deck.
- Lightweight rain jacket if visiting May-October.
Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Waterfront Master Suite (Lagoon Front) — for the iconic view and privacy.
- Cabanas facing the sunset — ask specifically for 'sunset view' over Quexil Lagoon.
Kamers om te vermijden
- Standard King rooms with 'River View' — less impressive vistas than the Lagoon Front suites.
- Cabanas closest to the main building if you want absolute seclusion.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the airport shuttle free?
Conflicting reports; assume it's a surcharge (~$10-15 USD) or take a local taxi which is easy and cheap.
Can I swim in the lagoon?
No, swimming is for the infinity pool only. The lagoon has wildlife (and potentially crocodiles).
Is breakfast included?
Yes, typically a cooked-to-order breakfast is included in the rate and is highly rated.
How far is Tikal?
About 60-75 minutes by car. The hotel can arrange tours, but they are pricier than booking in Flores.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, children are welcome, but the vibe is definitely more romantic/adult-oriented.
Is there cell service?
Yes, but it can be spotty. Wi-Fi is available in rooms and common areas but don't expect fiber speeds.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The ATV tour of the private reserve is often included for free — ask about it at check-in! You might see jaguars and tapirs.
- ✨
Book the morning monkey boat tour; the animals are more active and hungry for the fruit feeding.
- ✨
Happy hour at the pool bar offers decent 2-for-1 cocktails, which helps offset the high drink prices.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The lighting in the rooms is intentionally moody and dim — great for romance, bad for doing makeup.
💡You are a captive audience for food unless you pay for a taxi to Flores ($10+ roundtrip).
💡The 'museum' on-site is actually quite impressive with real Mayan artifacts found on the property.
💡Laundry service is shockingly expensive ($5+ per item), so hand-wash or pack extra.
💡The humidity can make swimsuits take forever to dry on the deck; use the AC indoors.
