At this hotel you can swim, eat, or hang out on balconies that overlook the pool and trees. A vista of Amatique Bay is also up for viewing, and this is all very near the town of Puerto Barrios.

Puerto Barrios is a hot Caribbean port city and a convenient launching-off place, as buses and boats head out of the town and port in most directions. On the other hand, if you need to take a break from destination-hopping, check out the town market, where locals sell homemade food and other wares; the market’s encircled by several restaurants too. Meanwhile, Río Dulce, its national park, and several other parks and wildlife reserves are all within an hour’s drive.

This hotel offers 36 rooms and 2 suites surrounded by tall palm trees and tropical plants. It boasts a restaurant with a great view, swimming pools for adults and children, tennis courts, and a playground. The hotel’s security gate is manned 24 hours a day.
