El Remate, Guatemala
$45-120/ nacht

Boek dit als You want to sleep inside a jungle nature documentary just steps from a pristine swimming lake.

Waarom mensen ervan houden

  • Direct access to the Cerro Cahuí Biotope for early morning hiking
  • Howler monkeys acting as your natural alarm clock
  • The 'private beach' (a rustic wooden dock) across the street for swimming

Snel Overzicht: A spotless, rustic eco-lodge that trades air conditioning for jungle breezes and screens for glass windows.

Beoordeeld door @jazzy.la.travel.mama: I stayed here with my family and it was the perfect jungle escape. We loved having our own kitchen for easy meals, and swimming in Lake Petén Itzá right from the property was a dream. It's the ideal rustic base for visiting Tikal.

The hype

Travelers universally praise the jungle setting and cleanliness, but warn that it's a bit of a hike from town.

Reality check

You will hear everything outside—monkeys, birds, and rain—so light sleepers need earplugs.

  • You prefer birdwatching from a hammock over watching TV
  • You want to be the first one on the hiking trails at Cerro Cahuí
  • You are okay with a firm mattress and a cold shower (sometimes)

Schoonmaak & Onderhoud

9.1
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough; guests consistently praise the 'spotless' rooms despite the jungle setting.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are clean but basic; watch out for ants attracted to moisture.
  • Maintenance: Rustic but well-maintained wood structures; screens are generally intact.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though towels can be a bit thin/rough due to line drying.
  • Odors & scents: Smells like fresh jungle air and wood; no musty odors reported.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.

Is there really no AC?

Correct. Rooms are designed with open airflow, fans, and screens. It cools down at night, but days are hot.

Can I swim in the lake?

Yes, there is a private dock across the street. The water is clean, warm, and clear.

How do I get to Tikal from here?

The hotel can arrange a shuttle, or you can flag down a colectivo (minibus) on the main road for a fraction of the price.

Is breakfast included?

Usually no. It's available at the on-site restaurant for an extra cost (approx. $5-8).

Are there bugs in the room?

Likely yes. It's an eco-lodge. You will see geckos, moths, and maybe a spider. Mosquito nets are provided.

Is it safe to walk to town?

Yes, it's generally safe, but pitch black at night. Take a tuk-tuk (10Q) after sunset.

Tips van Insiders

  • ✨

    Walk 5 minutes west to the Cerro Cahuí Biotope entrance; the sunset view from the top trail is better than Yaxhá.

  • ✨

    Ask for the 'refillable water' station to save money and plastic; they usually have a large jug in the lobby.

  • ✨

    The 'Deluxe' bungalows are worth the upgrade for the extra space and better porch furniture.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

  • 💡The 'private beach' is actually just a wooden dock across a public road.

  • 💡You might wake up to a scorpion or large spider in the bathroom (jungle life).

  • 💡The 5% credit card fee is strictly enforced; cash is king here.

  • 💡The mattresses are on the firmer side—bordering on hard for some.

  • 💡The restaurant food is good but service operates on 'island time' (very slow).
