La Isla Dulce

L’endroit est magique, la cuisine délicieuse.
Moment hors du temps

Everything!! It is truly an absolute paradise on earth! Daria and Douglas are incredibly kind, sweet, and always ready to help with anything you need.

Wspaniałe miejsce prowadzone przez wspaniałych ludzi (i ich zwierzaki :) ). La Isla Dulce to miejsce z którego żal odjeżdżać, prowadzone z szacunkiem do otoczenia w którym się znajduje i do środowiska naturalnego. Kuchnia przepyszna, cała obsługa miejsca fantastyczna. Zakwaterowanie jest bardzo oryginalne, niezależnie od tego którą opcję się wybierze można spędzać czas w przeogromnej przestrzeni wspólnej. Ze względu na małą liczbę gości (max 6) miejsce do relaksu dla siebie znajdzie każdy. Właściciele pomagają w każdej kwestii logistycznej związanej z transportem lub organizacją wolnego czasu (wycieczki do różnych miejsc).

Douglas en Daria hebben ons één van de absolute hoogtepunten van onze reis bezorgd. Al vóór ons verblijf stonden ze klaar om te helpen met regelen, en ook daarna bleven ze betrokken en zorgzaam. Hun gastvrijheid voelt warm en oprecht.

Elke maaltijd was een feestje: zo vers en smaakvol. Het totale plaatje klopt hier helemaal — van de sfeer tot de service en het eten.

Wij waren zó enthousiast dat we iedereen aanraden om deze villa te boeken.

Herrlich hab mich gefühlt wie im Paradies, alles sehr liebevoll und gut durchdacht. Das Essen war ein Traum . Mit dem Kanu durch den Mangrovenwald oder mit Oco und Dauglas beim „Gassi gehen“ war ein Erlebnis .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Isla Dulce! The hosts were extremely helpful in coordinating our arrival, and they provided contacts for transportation throughout our time in Guatemala. The food and drink (both delicious) were more expensive than expected.

Magnifique petit havre de paix, construit et rénové avec beaucoup de goût et de talent par Daria et Douglas.
On s’y sent tout de suite comme à la maison et on a surtout plus du tout envie d’en partir. Douglas et Daria apportent une grande attention à tous les aspects de leur projet: de l’accueil parfait des hôtes à la cuisine délicieuse 100% maison, rien n’est laissé au hasard, tout est fait avec conviction et cela se ressent.
Merci pour tout !

We had an amazing time there and the hosts are very friendly and helpful! You need to try the cinnamon roll and the banana cake once you’re there, the best pastry’s we’ve ever tried!

Instalaciones muy lindas y ecoamigables. La atención, espectacular muy amables los anfitriones

Tout

This establishment is located in a beautiful setting in a secluded corner of the Rio Dulce.

It's easily accessible from Livingston or Rio Hondo by boat, either with a shared boat that runs twice a day or by private boat. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful in helping me find a boat, as I was arriving a bit late from Puerto Barrios.
It's about a 25-minute boat ride from Livingston and 45 minutes from Rio Hondo, and the trip is beautiful.

The setting is magnificent: the jungle, the river. The "Villa" room where I stayed is huge and beautiful, with a balcony overlooking the river (see photo). It's very well-appointed, spacious, and comfortable.

The food at the restaurant is great, and a special mention goes to the cocktail made with homemade coffee liqueur prepared and infused by the owner with a unique recipe.

One of the most beautiful places I've stayed, very relaxing, and well worth the trip.

Todo, las instalaciones, la amabilidad del personal.

The property looks exactly like it does in the pictures, which was reassuring, and it’s definitely a great place if you’re looking to relax and be away from everything for a while. The setting is peaceful, and you can really disconnect from the outside world, but there's also good Wi-Fi and hot water.

Douglas and Daria live on-site, which means they’re always around and very attentive to anything you might need. They’re incredibly helpful and clearly put a lot of care into the place. There are lots of thoughtful touches, like homemade soap, shampoo, and other natural remedies, which add a unique, personal feel to the stay.
The dog Oso is lovely and adds charm to the place.

The caring and super friendly Owners and Staff, the quiet and peacuful location, very clean and comfortable, they had vegan food and even ice-cream (all fresh and self-made)

This place truly exceeded my expectations! Douglas and Daria are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, both with a very calm and soothing energy. Douglas helped organize trips and shuttles, making everything easy and stress-free. Daria is always happy to assist and loves sharing her knowledge about the local fauna and flora. They have a wonderful team: four sisters who prepare incredibly flavorful, fresh dishes every day, and Victoria, whose vibrant personality makes guests feel completely at home (she also makes amazing margaritas!). Every day at 4PM, Douglas takes Oso, their lovely dog, on his daily ‘walk’ on the barking boat. Don’t miss this because it’s unique and so much fun! They also own a gentle black cat named Pedro. The other guests were great company as well. We even went on a day trip together, and in the evenings we shared dinners followed by long after-dinner conversations and games. I stayed in the little hut above the dock. It can get a bit humid and there are some bugs, but that’s part of the ‘camping’ vibe, or rather glamping. The view from the hut is amazing! There are also plenty of cozy communal spaces to relax. Overall, it felt like a warm and familiar experience. It was a perfect and relaxing way to end my holidays in Guatemala, and exactly the reason why I chose to book this place.

Prachtig resort (slechts 3 verblijven) aan de rivier midden in de jungle. Wij sliepen in de ruime comfortabele villa. De eigenaars Daria en Douglas zijn zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame mensen. Eten is er zeer lekker. Dagelijks rond 4 pm neemt Douglas je mee op een boottocht door de jungle samen met hun lieve hond Oso. Douglas regelt ook alle verplaatsingen met de plaatselijke boten en/of uitstappen naar Livingston, Rio Dulce, Playa Blanca, enz… Heel blij dat we onze wondermooie reis door Guatemala hier konden afsluiten!

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt im La Isla Dulce. Es war mit Abstand die schönste Unterkunft, die wir in Guatemala hatten. Ich kann wirklich jedem empfehlen hier ein paar Tage zu verbringen.

La Isla Dulce est un merveilleux endroit tant au niveau de l'établissement lui même que des hôtes et de leur équipe. Ils sont tous extraordinaires. Daria et Douglas ne cessent de vous faciliter la tâche et font tout pour que le séjour soit agréable et inoubliable. Valeria est extrêmement souriante et agréable et répond avec entrain à toutes les sollicitations. Les personnes qui préparent les repas sont elles aussi formidables et tous les plats et boissons sont délicieux. Bref, un endroit fabuleux qu'il faut obligatoirement intégrer lors d'un passage sur le magnifique rio Dulce.
