Really nice and special place in the mangroves close to Rio Dulce. 
We spent 3 nights here and were able to stop directly from our boat ride from Livingston. You can get a free pick up from Rio Dulce as well. 

The place is quite remote but because of that also a really nice experience. You can hear the howler monkeys far away in the mornings (or take one of the free kayaks for sunrise across the river for even louder howls). 

The beds all have mosquito nets which are nicely hung (so they don’t end up in your face) and each bed has a small safe in the room. Bathrooms were clean. 
Personally I had more comfortable beds around Guatemala but I’m a pit picky as well. 

The owner is from Switzerland and really nice. He also helped us a lot with a problem we had. 

The place is quite remote and lights are turned off  at 10pm. So don’t expect a party place. But you can buy beer and really nice (with an international influence) food at the hotel/hostel. 

I would recommend spending 3 nights so you can cruise around the lake with a kayak, visit a gorge and hot (!) waterfall and the castle nearby.

Remote and special stay in the mangroves outside Rio Dulce

Beautiful, relaxing  hotel. Super clean. Very accommodating and friendly. Hosts Anne and Leo are the best. All the staff went out of their way to make us feel Welcome. The food was amazing. Can't wait to return!

A nice little hotel in the mangrove Jungle of Lago Izabal. Organized by a swiss owner everything worked out great for us, highlight is to go out with the little canoes to the floating raft where you can hang out, swim, sunbathe, enjoy the breeze and see some nice buildings around the lake. great experience overall!

Casa Perico - Hotel in the Mangrove Jungle

You need to get picked up by their boat to get there from Rio Dulce(main land?)(round trip included in price). We stayed one night with the possibility of extending. However once we got there we realized there’s not much to do. Yes, they have kayaks(2-3?) and a small little row boat. But if they are being used you’re pretty much stuck there. There’s no hikes available or a place close to swim(without a boat). The owners aren’t really going to go out of their way to sell you stuff or attend to you. Whenever we wanted to order something we felt awkward since they were either reading or “half napping”. I mean it wasn’t a problem for us but I read previous reviews. It’s a very “sure order something or don’t vibe”. Their breakfast and dinner was better than expected but a little pricey for an average backpacker. If you want to go back to the island it’s 25 round trip. We stayed one night and enjoyed our day swimming and exploring with the row boat. 

Nice place but not much to do if the boats/kayaks are taken 

Would have given 5 stars, but the walls in the hotel are so thin, that you hear your neighbors and if they like music at odd hours (late night or early morning) will offset the otherwise relaxing atmosphere. Friendly owner and staff, good food, free canoes, ...

Nice place to relax

After staying a night at the kangaroo hostel we decided to try this one out as there was no one with us at the kangaroo. Had a really fun night and met some cool people. The German owner is really nice and chilled. The place is beautiful. The cabins are right in the jungle and you ca hear all the birds and insects at night. The food is good too. 

To be honest i would have given it a famous tommy 5 star rating but the other Swiss owner was just a little off. Made me and my girl feel a little unwelcome, she is also Swiss ! 

Really nice place ! 

After hours on dusty Guatemalan roads Casa Perico was a breath of fresh air. When your small boat slows and begins to wind its way through channels in the mangroves, you know you are arriving at someplace special. 

Good kitchen, very clean rooms and shared bathrooms, all connected by raised walkways over the swamp. They do also have a swim platform on Lake Izabel, as well as a few canoes to row out and sunbathe/read/meditate/swim. 

Wore bug spray to be safe but wasn’t very buggy. Mattress wasn’t lofty - a fact that bothered a traveling companion - I slept ok, cozy under my mosquito net. We could hear the people in nearby rooms since so much of the rooms are screen, but people were pretty respectful during our visit. 

Inexpensive seclusion in the mangroves

Didn't feel welcome from the off. I feel like they need to stop trying to grab every last penny they can off the customer and focus on their hospitable manners instead. Understood it's a slightly remote location and products may be tricky to supply however drinking water, a necessity, should not be Q3 per refill. Surprised they don't have timed showers! I have stayed at hostels far far more remote that don't charge. They're food is tasty but again expensive. The mosquito net I had on my bed meant I had to curl up in the middle of my bed in order not to have it draping on my face. Don't take the red kayak out...it sinks.
