There is open-air dining, and the dinner at this hotel was very good; the breakfast only OK. The room is very basic - has a straight-back chair and two double beds and a very small safe. It is quiet in the rear and noisy in the front of the hotel. The pool is small but clean and has a nice... More

This is the most expensive room we've stayed at on our trip. Over $100 via Expedia and all the other booking places. It does include free ride to airport. Actually not a lot of choices as most of Flores seemed booked up, even several weeks before our arrival in this area. The room was super basic. Very plain, but really... More

Well I'm going to start by saying that Hotel El Peregrino is a really nice place to stay, is really cheap in comparison to other hotels here in Flores, very clean rooms, staff really nice, especially the front desk girl, a single room with private bathroom, cable tv and wireless internet cost just Q90. They also have a restaurant, which... More

My room on the second floor (even numbered room) had a view over the pool overlooking the lake and the island of Flores. Stunning. The staff were very friendly although could have been more helpful. On example: When I asked the front desk staff to ask where my morning bus to Tikal was (They hadn't picked me up because they... More

Hats off to the staff of Peten Esplendido who made my trip to Tikal a memorable one! Melvin was superb and his level of service went beyond his call of duty. Noting my safety concerns he accompanied me with the driver to drop me off at Tikal Park during his off hours - I was simply touched by this level... More

Like many other writers of reviews, we also stayed at Hotel Esplendido after a long, hot day at Tikal. It was a welcome relief to pull up to a hotel with two door men ready to help carry in bags, open the parking lot gate, stop traffic and help guide me as I had to back up on a busy... More

We spent three nights at this hotel as part of a tour with Friendly Planet. We had a room on the third floor with a balcony overlooking the lake. The rooms were simple and clean. The A/C worked well enough but it's not very hot in late November. The hotel restaurant was fine, with a nice selection of local and... More

After a long day at Tikal we were looking forward to the pool and hot tub but were very disappointed to find them incredibly cloudy and dirty. We were unable to swim. The hotel was simple, but clean. Due to the heat we had the air conditioner and fan running, when we added the tv the electricity flickered often. We... More

We stayed at this hotel while we visited the Mayan Tikal ruins. The rooms were average but clean. The bed was comfortable enough. The safety deposit box in the room isn't bolted to the floor or anything. Someone could easily come in and carry it away. You also had to get a separate safety deposit key from the front desk....

After an exhausting tour to Tikal, you can spend the entire afternoon (and the next day too) in the magnificent pool, you have no choice since the weather is sooo hot!!!
