Love how green this resort is. Most of the food is grown on the property. The property is small and the staff give you lot of personal attention. All cabins have beautiful private decks, and they bring you coffee to your room in the morning so you can enjoy the peace and nature.

This resort is a slice of paradise. The employees made it heaven. They went out of their way every day to make us feel welcomed and as a vegan, had zero issues making nearly all my meals while I was there 4 days! The resort was super quiet, blended with nature perfectly, and met every need. Must do tours are Tikal and ATM cave, but be warned ATM requires physical ability to scramble huge rocks and is not for the claustrophobic.
