Excellent base for Tikal
We were staying for just one night to see Tikal. On arrival there was a friendly welcome and although we were early our room was ready. We were given a welcome drink which we really appreciated. The hotel is perfectly situated for seeing the ruins, and it takes around just 30 minutes to walk to the Grand Plaza. Don't forget to buy the entry tickets at the gate. The hotel has a beautiful reception area with plenty of seating, a games room which shows a film about Tikal, a bar and restaurant ( no booking required). The grounds are lush and beautiful and it's possible to see many birds and maybe even monkeys.
We were happy with our room which had a luxury feel with very nice toiletries. It was a standard room with two double beds. It only had a fan but that was fine. The windows were open but with mosquito nets which meant we could hear the sounds of the jungle. The room was very clean. It had a pleasant outside deck.
Dinner in the evening had plenty of choice, our starters and mains came very quickly. We were hungry so we didn't mind but it felt a little rushed. We had the squid and bean soup starters, and chicken and steak dishes for mains. All were very good, the steak in particular was expertly cooked.
The breakfast the next morning was also very tasty.
Staff were very efficient and pleasant throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel as a base for visiting Tikal.
