Junior Suite
Room in a hotel
2 guests · 1 bedroom · 1 king bed · 1 private attached bathroom
One of the few places on this stretch of the river with a pool.
Recent guests gave the check-in process a five-star rating.
A private room and bathroom, plus the run of the shared spaces.
This room opens onto the river and jungle of the Rio Dulce, with a private bathroom and shower, a private lounging deck, Starlink wifi and air conditioning — the ideal spot for a couple. Listen to the birds and monkeys from morning to evening over an unbroken view of the Guatemalan jungle. There is a boat dock outside, should you arrive in your own.
The space
Although not technically an island, you can only reach us by boat. We are five minutes from the busy streets of Rio Dulce, set in the heart of a monkey preserve. Because the room is attached to a hotel with a bar and restaurant, the food is always fresh and always close.
Guest access
Paddle boards and kayaks are available to rent, along with the pool, a massage, or your own private living room. Tours to Playa Blanca, Castillo San Felipe, Siete Altares and Livingston can be arranged at additional cost. Off-site parking is available at Karlitas Restaurant, on the east side of the bridge just past the Shell station — secured and gated, Q60 per 24 hours.
During your stay
We are always on hand for anything you need while you are with us, including help booking onward travel or shuttles.
Other things to note
Cooking is not permitted in the rooms. The risk of fire is too great given our building materials, and food in the rooms attracts ants and termites, so all meals are eaten in the kitchen.
