Pros:

Unieke ervaring midden in de jungle. Lekker kunnen zwemmen in de rivier en het eten was erg lekker. Je krijgt elke dag gewoon wat er op het menu staat, maar wij vonden het alle keren erg lekker! Met een tour naar Semuc Champey geweest en terug in de tubes - dat vonden wij erg leuk!! Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, zouden het echt aanraden!

Cons:

Je bent in de jungle dus natuurlijk kun je insecten verwachten!

The people were great however and it was worth it.
Pros:

Exceptionally beautiful grounds and very remote location near the river.

Cons:

Because of the remoteness it’s difficult to not eat at the hotel and the food if a bit expensive for the portions, the activities are also a bit pricey

beautiful place and we recommend but not a good price for the room if staying in the nooks! Recommend a bungalow if budg
Pros:

we loved the location! it is a remote quiet jungle area and its absolutely beautiful. the staff and owner are very nice people. food was delicious and everyone was very helpful. the sweet dogs made it even better. felt very nice to hang out at the place.

Cons:

unfortunately the rooms are not nice. very small, bed is very worn down. they ve offered a room change but other room had lots of bugs next to the bed due to huge holes in the walls and all matresses we ve seen were in bad condition. price should be adjusted as bath rooms are also shared and cold.

Enjoy Beautiful Nature Here
Pros:

A very no frills place that is surrounded by beautiful nature. The check-in staff was very friendly snd helpful.

I liked that excursions could be booked at the hotel. Also my transportation could be booked there as well.

There is a vegetarian/vegan menu. If you want to have dinner Utopia Eco provides a family style dinner. It's whatever they make on that day. You can order a full ir half portion. I didn't have breakfast or dinner while I was there.

Upon my departure, I did order a bagel with hummus. I ate it on my 11 hour ride to Panajachel. The bagel and hummus were very tasty.

Drinking water is provided and a nice quiet atmosphere with beautiful nature doesn't hurt.

Cons:

I understand why but I didn't like that I had to travel far to the bathroom. Lol. It wasn't all that bad but those night time or 3am bathroom runs are diabolical.

Very cool location
Pros:

Right by the river to go for a swim or hangout. It’s so peaceful and scenic. The staff are lovely. Did the semuc champey and tubing tour through them, got to tube right to the hotel (although water was extremely low). The food was good & free yoga

Cons:

The bed was so old and uncomfortable and the pillows were paper thin. Please replace them. I would give 10 stars otherwise

Oportunidad de mejora
Pros:

Ubicación impecable.

Cons:

Utopía tiene un entorno natural único, pero urge sumar frigobares y climatización eficiente para que el confort sea real y sustentable. Equipar bien las cabañas es el paso definitivo para cuidar al viajero.

Recommended :-)
Pros:

Friendly Staff, wonderful location and healthy food

Cons:

The bathroom is inside the cabin, without full walls around it. It gives little privacy if there are other guests in the cabin
