Arrive by water.
A thatched-roof hotel and marina in the jungle of the Rio Dulce — five minutes by boat from town, and no closer to a road than that.
Close enough to town. Far enough from it.
Boatique sits on the water inside a protected howler monkey reserve, reachable only by a short boat ride. Far enough out that you stop hearing traffic, close enough that the shuttle runs several times a day.
Swim, read, sleep in a hammock, take a massage by the pool. Every night includes hot showers, Starlink wifi, pool and river access, and the boat in and out of town.
Thatched roofs, hammocks, and lantern light on the river.
