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.

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.

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.
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!
Beautiful setting fitting into environment perfectly
Wonderful property with lots of varied areas to sit, do yoga, swim, kayak, etc
Exceptional food at very good prices - lots of variety, great flavours, consistency
Frequent water shuttles into town at no cost
Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff
Overall perhaps the best eco hotel in Rio Dulce….a MUST STAY…you won’t be disappointed
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.
I enjoyed my stay in the hostel! I checked in at 11.30 pm and that was no problem at all. The room and bathroom were very clean, the wifi was decent enough to get some work done and Flor even warmed up my breakfast after my meeting ended. Would recommend it if you stay the night in Rio Dulce town!
There is a free boat shuttle provided by the hotel for pick up and drop off in Rio dulce to a specific schedule, cheap kayak rental, quiet atmosphere and friendly (and mostly competent) staff. They can also easily arrange you a highly recommended boat trip to Livingston.
An amazing, quite place with a great staff and delicious food. The location is close to Rio Dulce town but far enough away to be secluded. The have a boat that picks you up for free and the staff helped with lots of questions about tours and transportation to Honduras.
No breakfast included so we always went to the back shop for coffee only. I thought it would be included considering the price and the custom of breakfast included in most Guatemalan accommodation
It was a great pool and overall the staff tried to do their best
Wonderful location! We enjoyed this uniquely located hotel with its minimalist accommodation
and back-to-nature feel. Loved the kayaking, paddle boarding, and the kind and helpful staff!
Food was delicious!
Food and drink at the hotel is excellent, served with a smile and a chat. The restaurant overlooks the river so the view at meal times is fantastic. We really enjoyed being able to take a kayak down the river.
Really comfortable and clean, wifi and ac worked perfectly. The hotel is really easy to find, there are lots of restaurants and shops around, big supermarket (with safe cash machines) is about 3 minutes walk.
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.
The place is nice, we were in the middle of the mangrove and it's beautiful. The food is good and they have kayak for free witch is really cool. It's more an hotel than an hostel tho.
I liked the hotel and the facilities . Room was great and clean and loved having a bath in my room!
Staff and food was great and one of the best massages I had! 😊
This was a great spot in the river . They taxied us to the hotel by boat . The food was excellent . The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome .
Everything - I was so sad to leave. A beautiful hotel in a beautiful place. Tim, Alejandra, Rasta & Luna could not do more to make sure you have a nice stay.
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
