Boatique Hotel and Marina

If you’re on the fence about this trip, don’t hesitate…go!! Of all the places I’ve traveled, this has been a favorite. It’s a unique, beautiful getaway. It’s accessible only by a 5 minute boat ride. Realize that if it’s raining (as it was when we arrived), your luggage may get wet. Be prepared to bag up your luggage if it needs protected. The owners are personable and make you feel right at home. They showed us the howler monkeys way up on the trees and gave us a bit of history of the place. They have created a wonderful, sustainable, eco-friendly vacation spot. The food is made to order and so fresh and yummy, all locally sourced. The amenities are charming and all about relaxation. Some people in our group took a sunset catamaran tour. Others had an hour long massage. We opted to just lie around in the hammocks and at the pool and relax. In a world where it’s hard to forget the worries of the world, this is the perfect place to just let it go. Also, we were shocked (in a good way!) at how affordable our stay was. You can’t stay in a cheap, roach infested hotel for that price! Again, Boatique gets all the stars because they’re all that and so much more. I hope to someday go back for an even longer getaway.

The location is Idyllic! Everything from the hut style rooms, open air, beautifully designed restaurant/ bar, and many areas to relax are delightful. The food and drinks are excellent and not overpriced (although more expensive that other areas of Guatemala that is to be expected given where you are!). The service is also exceptional, Stephanie in particular was absolutely lovely and extremely helpful throughout our stay (despite only having been at the hotel for a week or 2). The nature at the hotel is also wonderful to see, having seen: Snakes, Monkeys, Birds, Fish and even an Otter! The hotel was not overcrowded making the stay calm and relaxing at all times.

Super relaxing place. Many place to swim and relax: in the front near the lake or at the pool, in the hammocks… & delicious food! Everything is super clean. Would recommend 100%
