Tortugal Boutique River Lodge

Hotel in Rio Dulce

In the Rio Dulce river near a 16th century castle the Tortugal Boutique River Lodge peninsula is bathed by almost constant on shore breezes providing a cool and refreshing place.

This is a great place, accessible by boat, usually from the Sundogs bar who will call the Lodge for you. Tortugal has a great restaurant & bar with reasonable prices & apart from a big lunch one day in Livingstone, we didn't eat anywhere else. They can also do a fantastic plate of chicken nachos for a light meal in the evening in those circumstances The room we had was a hut right on the river itself with a large bedroom, a great balcony & hammock.The bathroom however is small - but that is similar to many places in Central America. Hot water in both the shower & sink - unusual in Central America, but no shampoo supplied which is unusual Free coffee was available each morning from 6am & we would get this & just sit on our balcony & watch the river waking up before breakfast. Angela the Manager was superb, extremely helpful & great company at breakfast & dinner. They can do laundry for you & I would highly recommend this place.

Such a beautiful place to stay, quite and serene. The staff were super kind and helpful. I even forgot something when I left and they made sure it got back to me before I left Rio Dulce. You get there by boat so keep in mind that if you want to eat elsewhere or want to buy anything, you have to take a short boat ride to town. Its fairly priced to boat to and from and there is a restaurant at the hotel with a huge selection of food. I would definitely stay here again.

    Rio Dulce is a great spot to vacation, it's very relaxing.

    Rio Dulce is a great spot to vacation, it's very relaxing. If you want more night life...then probably best to stay in Livingston. If you are ever in Livingston, the best Tapado was at a small restaurant Restaurante Gabby!! Unforgettable!! El Viajero didn't come close in flavor, maybe we just went on a bad day. Must see Siete Altares, beautiful waterfalls and blue turquoise water. We never felt unsafe, it's a very tranquil place in Rio Dulce.

    If you travel solo you can't do anything as it's just for groups else yours are in excess of £250! It's not safe to hike to seven altars alone (I was told by locals) so it's just very far for no reason. The bus from GC was supposed to be 5 hours but it was 11!

    I really wanted to like Rio Dulce.

    I really wanted to like Rio Dulce. It turned out to be only a hub for boat and bus travel for me. Having spent two months in Guatemala by the time I got there, I was not surprised by the poverty or conditions. That said, I didn’t find much other than the castle to be places I wanted to see more of. It was very hot and humid in early July.

    Lovely hotel with comfortable and well sized rooms. The shower was hot and had good pressure - this has been pretty much impossible for us to find in Guatemala so far so a real plus point! The staff were very helpful and friendly, making sure we made our early bus from the town (the hotel is a short boat ride away from the main town centre of Rio Dulce - no bad thing as we weren't impressed with the town). The food in the restaurant was very tasty.

    Excellent wooden cabin room, very cozy and comfortable, enough space and amenities. Location is fantastic and feels very much like part of the jungle. There's even a crocodile in the creek flowing through the finca and joining Rio Dulce. The hotel has its own landing and you can do a great boat trip down to Livingston or up to the lake. Very reasonable price for a great lodging experience. Stayed an extra night!

    Such a great spot; swim, kayak, lounge around, chat to other guests, head into Rio Dulce town...we loved it here. Angela and Rudi were both so helpful, the two house dogs make the place feel homely and our room was enormous. Comfy bed, clean bathroom.
