Nicest Place Around in a Not Nice Area
Reviewed By Love2Travel06117This resort is nice enough. The rooms are clean and have nice bathrooms and comfortable beds. The unit we were in was spacious. It has good TV options. The pool and beach areas are nice although the water at the beach was not very clean. They maintain the property well. Those are the pros. The cons are that there were very few people staying there, perhaps because it was low season (March). The food at the restaurant was just okay and the staff seemed a little indifferent. We had to ask several times for towels for the pool and had to wait a good while to get them. The store didn't seem to be open a lot. They only allow you to kayak with a "guide" and there were group activities offered only on weekends. The resort is isolated and that might be a good thing because the town of Puerto Barrios is not very appealing and we heard it is not safe, though we had no bad experiences. We entertained ourselves by taking the boat to Livingston and Rio Dulce and ate in restaurants in town at night. They were nice enough, but we were almost the only people in them. Not a festive atmosphere. If you want a very quiet vacation sitting by the pool or beach, this could be the place for you. It did have nice pool features for children but they did not interest us. We left a few days early and went to Antigua which was much more interesting and fun. Do not under any circumstances, decide to drive from Guatemala City to this resort. It was a harrowing experience which we felt very fortunate to survive. If you are going to drive in the Puerto Barrios area, be careful of people who step into the road, refuse to get out of it, and scooters going every which way with little kids and babies hanging off them. Other than the main thoroughfares, roads are just about non existent. Mostly nice people though.

Hands down BEST eco lodge you can wish for
Reviewed By 102sannehHands down BEST eco lodge you can wish for in Rio Dulce. Never seen such a customer service in my life. I lost my phone on the way there and they did everything to get it back to me and they managed. From dealing with corrupt shuttle drivers to picking up the phone for me because they said no one messes with their customers. Ive been blown away by their levels of service, thank you Gaby!!! (On top of this the place is gorgeous, amazing chef and food, great staff and the best tours, we will be back!!)

Careless
Reviewed By O8138RVgabygI’ve been there 4 nights. Mi shack was uncomfortable, beds in bad conditions, no door or roof for the bathroom, dirty, I killed 4 cockroachs, I found one over my bed…I don’t recommend it. The food was good and the personal was very kind, but I asked to change my beds and nobody help me.
7. Hotel Gran Costa Azul

Recomendado
Reviewed By jrcruzcruzEl lugar muy lindo, limpio y ordenado, las habitaciones aunque no tienen una buena vista están amplias y con lo necesario para un buen descanso, la piscina a pesar de estar al medio del hotel muy tranquila, ideal para relajarse, el desayuno incluido, buenísimo y la atención de los meseros fenomenal, cosas a mejorar creo que capacitar a los seguridades del parqueo, a los que abren y cierran el portón, nada atentos, distraídos, pesados, etc. por lo demás todo nitido.

Livingston
Reviewed By w0rkinghardI still don't know what to make of Livingston but if you are staying here Posada El Delfin is not a bad choice. Giovanni the manager is very helpful and knowledgeable and all the staff are very friendly. The hotel was clean, the rooms a decent size, the shower did the job and breakfast was a bonus. The swimming pool is good to cool down in and the hammocks on the boat dock are a great place to relax and watch the Pelicans, Frigate birds and the odd Osprey. The rooms can get pretty hot but the rooms have air-con. I would be a bit dubious about staying in the rooms near the table football!
