Zapote Tree Inn

We are an inn located in the village of San Miguel, across the lake Peten Itza. Here you will find the lush green of the tropical rain forest, a wealth of historical and archaeological knowledge, and the beautiful culture of San Miguel and its surrounding villages. Our name derives from the love that we have for our Zapote tree, and that is why we built our inn around it. At Zapote Tree Inn, we can offer you a beautiful scenery as we have a beautiful view of the lake and the island of Flores. You can dip in the pool and enjoy the nature that surrounds you. We have many exotic tropical fruits, and if they are in season, you will have the chance to try them. The best of Zapote Tree Inn is not only the establishment, but also its location in San Miguel, Peten. At Zapote Tree Inn, not only are we within walking distance but we are also the closest establishment to: El Mirador of King Canek which is a high point with a 360-degree view that allows you to see the lake, nature, many different kinds of birds, archaeology, all surrounding towns like Santa Elena, San Benito, San Jose, San Andres, San Miguel, the island of Flores, the island of Lepet, the radio station, the zoo, and if lucky you might get to see the family of howler monkeys that reside in the area. This mirador is highly recommended for sunsets. There is also another mirador, a second one that even though it does not possess a 360-degree view, it does have however a very nice view for sunrises. The running trails are very close to the inn, at approximately 3 minutes walking. They are clean inside as we volunteered ourselves every few days to pick up the trash. They are within nature, so running shoes for soil and not asphalt are required. Within the running trails you will find the Tree of Love, which usually has some toucans, parrots or some other birds around. Sometimes the howler monkeys are there if you like running in the early morning. The running trails also take you to the Mayan stelae which are at the main plaza. San Miguel is a town that resides in the peninsula of Tayasal, and it is around an unexcavated Mayan city. If you wish to see how the temples, and buildings look like before they are excavated, then the running trails will take you on a loop where you can witness this for yourself. We are about 20 minutes walking from the beach Chechenal, which has crystal clear water and a really nice temperature. The place is very clean, has bungalows, a dock from which to jump into the water, changing stations and toilet services. They charge Q5 to enter, which is less than $1. You can either walk there, or take a boat if you prefer. We are also within walking distance of: The horse of stone which tells the story of one of our most famous legends. It is located in the center of San Miguel, which is about 5 minutes walking from the inn. We can tell you the legend when you arrive. The museum is about 15 minutes walking from the inn as it is in the opposite side of San Miguel. There you can see many different Mayan artifacts and you can receive a very good explanation from the museum guides. Zapote Tree Inn can be reached by either a boat or a car. The car route can take up to 45 minutes, while the boat only takes 5 minutes to the island of Flores. We recommend the boat ride, over the car ride. Even if you do come in car, then leave the car at Flores, and take the boat across. The boat ride is very short and will be more convenient for your schedule if you are saving time. Plus, boats are fun! The communal boats can be taken at the north side of the island of Flores, and they charge Q5 to cross tourists, which is less than $1. They run from 5 am till 10 pm during weekdays, and till 2 am on weekends. If you need to arrive earlier or leave at a later time, then we can arrange to cross you on our own boat so transportation is never a problem. The places that can be reached by walking, are many, but we also are located close to the island of Flores. A 5 minute boat ride and you can walk the streets of Flores, and come back to enjoy the quiet side of the lake during nighttime. If you want to have a nice time, enjoy the pool with a nice view, take in the nature and appreciate archaeology then come to Zapote Tree Inn. As your hosts we will do our best to give you the best possible time in your stay. We will explain you everything we know of the surroundings. We offer double rooms with a queen and a single bed with private bathrooms, as well as the option of traveler beds for those that travel on a budget. We involve ourselves in community development and promote ecological friendly tourism.

Amazing family style b&b near the jungle

Reviewed By Charlie C

Zapote Tree is the perfect type of place, it is very easily accessible from the main island of Flores by a quick and cheap boat ride. The owners Peter and Yolanda are extremely kind and warm people and arranged everything for me to get there and reach my flight out. Eric who also works there is also a great cook and makes one mean breakfast perfect before trekking out to the jungle or the ruins of Tikal for a long day of walking and climbing. Peter in particular went out of his way to make sure my stay was perfect and that I was taking advantage of all that Flores had to offer. He also has a great personality and you can tell he and everyone else working there take pride in their business and the space. The hotel is also walkable from a beautiful beach and has a nice hiking area right behind it up a hill. Two minutes walking and you are literally in the jungle with howler monkeys walking on the remnants of an old Mayan city. You cant get that anywhere else.

Nice view

Reviewed By mariefR6927NI

It was good, but when we wanted to sleep, there was a bar next to the hotel. The bar was really loud, so it was not good. Othervice you can pick a room with nice view, but don’t be surprised, when you saw at the morning in the lake doldiers?

Lovely spot, shame about the noise

Reviewed By TamisCanada

Lovely hotel on the lake, shame about the noise. The people are great! The nightclub across the street goes until 1 AM and is VERY LOUD. The view of the lake is beautiful, the rooms clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The open air structure makes the upper floors worse than the lower as it’s directly across from the nightclub. Maybe the noice is only in the weekend best to ask and confirm - we were here on a Friday night.

Nice place with some flaws

Reviewed By JackInTheBox2

We stayed here for three nights, and mostly enjoyed it. The room was clean and the hostel is nicely done. We knew that it wasn't on Flores island and that we'd have to pay 5 quetzals each time we want to cross, and it was fine. The hostel staff took us for free on their own boat when we did the Tikal tour at night and on our last day. Food there was tasty, but not a lot and not super cheap (but ok). They don't have a fridge for the guests and no kitchen to use, and sometimes one hot the impression they didn't care a lot. Staff was always friendly and polite, but not great hosts overall. Maybe they're new in business, but the customer service wasn't great. However, all in all it was a nice experience, I'd even consider coming again.

Bellissimo hotel ma cibo pessimo

Reviewed By RomaPiera

Abbiamo soggiornato 2 notti in questo hotel bellissimo su un lago dove vicino alla riva staziona un alligatore. I bungalow sono immersi nel verde, ampi, puliti. Nel parco che circonda l'hotel ci sono cervi e molti uccelli. Purtroppo però la colazione è scarsa. Abbiamo cenato in albergo perché ha anche una splendida piscina ed è lontano da tutto . Il cibo era scarso, mal presentato e con poca varietà. Per questo abbiamo richiesto un gelato ma era vecchio e ghiacciato. Buon punto di partenza per andare a Tikal

Hotel Sabana

Northern end of the island

Quiet in the chaos

Reviewed By Glacier1998

We spent several nights in Hotel Sabana, actually extended our stay. The hotel is close to dining and activities, but away from the noise, traffic and loud music that is so common in Flores. The island is very small, nothing is far! Our room was clean and bright. We were at the end of the hallway and had several windows. Lots of light. The bathroom was small but the shower worked well and there was hot water. The wifi worked in our room most of the time. This is not the place for you if you have mobility issues. There are lots of stairs and no elevator. This is true for most of Guatemala. It’s not very accessible in some ways. The staff do not speak English, again, not unusual for this area. They did patiently tolerate my mangled Spanish and we were able to communicate. The pool area is nice, but it is cold! My hubby and I were the only ones who used it during our stay! I will stay here again if I return to Flores.

Dont know what a reservation is

Reviewed By Morior

We booked a room and when we got there, they gave the room to someone else, apparently they tried to check if I'm coming while I was on the way (8 hour trip with no internet), they sent me a WhatApp on 8pm and I replied on 9pm. Had to look for a new place to stay in the middle of the night when everything was all book. Apparently they don't know what a reservation means and will not honor it and they try to blame you for not being responsive enough. Disrespectful.

Aparthotel Vista Lago

Très belle vue sur Florès

Reviewed By VILLETTE m

C'est un endroit calme et très beau situé face à Florès. Les chambres sont très propres et la literie est confortable. À l'étage supérieur la piscine et la terrasse permettent de se reposer tranquillement. Le patron et son beau frère sont très sympas et chaleureux. Ils travaillent activement à rendre le séjour de leurs hôtes plus facile par les conseils avisés. La cuisine "aménagée" mériterait davantage d'ustensiles.

Paradise

Reviewed By ladysagenyc

OH MY GOSH! This is a true paradise. Why? 1. Dona Magdalena and her team are so loving. I felt I was at a relative's home. 2. It is a small island/lagoon almost all by yourself. 3. True connection to nature. I woke up hearing a rooster close and personal and when I opened the window, the rooster was literally outside my window. 4. Only way to go to Flores is via a boat ride. 5. Price is right! The team work so much so please be generous with your tips.
