Leuk plekje
Pros:

De verantwoordelijke van het hotel bleek ook een gids te zijn, sprak voortreffelijk Engels en kende veel over de geschiedenis van de Garifuna en de omgeving. We deden een leuke daguitstap met hem.Het ontbijt was lekker. Handig dat de ferry ons aan de hotelsteiger kon oppikken.

Cons:

De douchestraal was niet zo sterk, het zwembad had wat onderhoud nodig.

Pros:

Posizione un po' defilata rispetto al centro ma tranquilla e comoda da raggiungere. Stanze molto grandi con vista mare. Per qualunque esigenza chiedete a Giovanni che troverà una soluzione con immancabile sorriso sulle labbra. La barca da e per Rio dulce vi lascia e vi riprende direttamente sul pontile dell'hotel. Piscina a livello del mare per godere del tramonto o di un bagno sotto le stelle.

Cons:

Nulla

Best hotel manager in Livingston
Pros:

The manager was exceptional. He took the time to take us on a tour of his town, his knowledge of the place was exceptional! Our best advice is to chat with him as to what you plan to do for the day, save yourself getting fleeced by Garifunans.
Breakfast was very nice. Options for breakfast are picked the day before to ensure they have all ingredients, we have come across this in multiple places.
Beautiful art all around the place which is for sale.
Very much chill vibes

Cons:

Would have liked better weather however the hotel can't change that haha

Well served in an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable place.
Pros:

Big room, hot water, a pool that was large enough to swim lengths. Right on the water, great vista to sit on deck. Solid breakfast. But the best thing is the staff, particularly front of house fellow Giovani. He speaks very fluent English and knows so much about local history and customs it adds so much value to the stay to sit down and chat with him for half an hour. I’m sure he had other stuff to do but he didn’t make you feel like that and it greatly augmented my understanding of the town and its culture.

Cons:

It is a top flight property. On the edge of the central area, and I have some mobility issues so it meant a bit of walking. But that’s me, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it when I didn’t have the issues. And tuk tuks whiz by in abundance so if you don’t want to walk Q5 or Q10 will get you where you’re going easily.

I enjoyed staying at this place, one of many in Livingston, and it was a gentle stroll to the dock and town.
Pros:

The relaxed atmosphere. The knowledge and assistance of the manager. Provision of sandwiches to take away when leaving before breakfast on final morning.

Cons:

Being predominantly built with wooden boarding the room tended to shake a bit if many people walked passed. Slightly invonvenient needing cash to pay (as opposed to card payment at every other hotel I stayed at in Guatemala)
