In the Rio Dulce river near a 16th century castle the Tortugal Boutique River Lodge peninsula is bathed by almost constant on shore breezes providing a cool and refreshing place.

It was a very nice stay. The staff was very nice and the food was tasty (we got huge portions). We swam in the river, went zip line and kayaking. It is very quiet and pleasant around. Beautiful place. There were some mosquitoes, but that's obvious if you book a house in such a place. And the location is great.

We enjoyed being on the river and the free kayaks. Watching life on the river go on while lounging on the deck. The swimming pool was a good way of cooling off.
The food from the restaurant was always good and sometimes excellent.
The staff were all super friendly and were always on hand. The owner helped us booked tickets to Livingston.
Our room was clean and comfortable and we had space to unpack.

Beautiful location on the river, the bungalows are very nice as well. The pool was great! Food is good with many vegetarian opties and not to expensive. Staff is very friendly. We have had a really good stay
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!
The hotel is set along the shores of the Rio Dulce, but the rooms are tucked into the jungle/finca, giving guests the best of both the river and the surrounding environment. The rooms were emaculate, the staff was incredibly personable, and the hotel is situated perfectly; just outside of the busy city, but close enough to get there for meals/drinks. Also, the access to free kayaks allows for wonderful morning adventures, where we were lucky enough to spot two manatees breaching for air.
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
There was a free launch to and from the hotel and the town when checking in or out. It was a 30 minute walk to the main road in the town. The bungalows were spacious with a great shower and aircon. The pool was a fair size. The food was good quality and reasonable for a hotel. There were inexpensive activities available. The staff were helpful and available.
Free kayaks to swimming spot. Nice and knowledgeable owner. Food was good and often better value than in town. 10 minute boat ride to Rio Dulce town. No personal food allowed at the restaurant area, but there's tables near the rooms where you can eat your leftovers or snacks. Saw some small turtles in the mangroves and bigger ones at the swimming spot!
Great location, close to parking and they can pick you up in their boat, so that is very convenient. At the same time, the hotel is not located right on the river, but on a quiet and beautiful little entrance right next to the jungle.
The menu was fun. The cabins are beaufiully designed and well mantained.
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 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!
Great place to unwind for a few days, you are in middle of a lake with no roads! be prepared to stay at hotel a lot of the time, staff only speak Spanish but I liked this as I’m trying to learn Spanish (use it as an opportunity to learn)
Beautiful hotel in the middle of the jungle, which can only be reached by boat. They pick you up and drop off again from where the shuttles depart. The food is reasonably priced and very delicious. Overall, I had an amazing stay.
The hotel itself is outstanding and has great amenities. A nice common restaurant/hangout area , HOT water with good pressure, spotlessly clean bathrooms and rooms with comfy beds. Food was great and staff were helpful.
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.
Liesel was awesome and communicative. The food was outstanding (did a 4 course dinner with wine pairing), and the whole vibe of the hotel was relaxed and modern while still being an eco lodge.
forgot my iphone charger but we’re not willing to look for a. solution to return it. literally said: it’s not the problem of the hotel. Overpriced hotel
