All was fine.

It’s a nice place in a good area.

Feels like the farm has seen better days, it could do with some more care and better upkeep in some areas. The food prices were relatively high. And since it’s quite far from the town you can’t really leave to go get your own food.

Secluded property on a big chunk of land with an interesting history. Built by some Americans who moved to Guatemala in the early 70s. Cant imagine what it would have been like to get around back then ! Cabins are simple but spacious and have comfy beds and a hammock and plenty of windows to allow the breeze in. Heaps of birds around and I saw a squirrel too. Plenty of books to read.

Far from city center, wouldn’t swim in the “lake”.

Lots to discover: 400 acres.

With the 42°C heat in Poptún, Finca Ixobel definitely needs a swimming pool. You can swim at the lagoon, but it was not inviting as there were a lot of mosquitoes and water was not clean.

Finca Ixobel is a quiet and relaxing place, with all the basic accommodations. However, hotel rooms definitely need some maintenance. Some of the staff was very nice. Excellent food. The visit to the cave was fenomenal! Many thanks to José Adán ("Chalán"), he is exceptional.

We had hoped and requested to stay in a "tree house"... but that was sadly not available when we arrived.

Charming location, very green and lush. very friendly staff. Good food and nice feeling of community at the place. We enjoyed our walks (although they were not as long as expected) but in lovely surroundings and joined by the property's local dogs. .

Finca Ixabel was an oasis of calm after driving for hours on our way to Tikal. The surroundings are lush and green. We didn't go horsebackriding or hiking - too old for that. But if you're up to it, it would a great way to explore the grounds. On another note, we managed to leave our computer charger behind but the staff found it and held it for us which we got by driving back. Two hours! But boy did we need that charger.

Difficult to get to A shuttle pickup to the end of the drive would be helpful as we arrived in poptun late and there we no taxis. Finca called us a taxi

Lake, nice food, great bread and cakes, friendly animals

No other guests which impacted on the ambience of the p-lace. Wifi was also sporadic.

The rooms were very large and comfortable. Staff were lovely, but as we were the only hotel guests, it didn't have the communal sociable vibe it used to have. The restaurant was excellent with lots of local families visiting. The swimpool is magical.

The room smelled very humid and damp, which is expected so close to the jungle in the rainy season. The Hammock was old and very weathered. There was a wasp nest under the table on the balcony.

Loved the cabin near the edge of the jungle. The bathroom had hot water, very clean and fresh towels. The Mosquito nets and window screens helped a lot. Saw a frog and large gecko inside the room which were a bonus for the kids. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Good value and great restaurant on-site

The only thing is the missing kitchen. There is not really another option than to eat in the hotel restaurant. Uh and be careful of the hike up the hill! It is a very old path and we got completely lost there.

The houses are very nice, it was perfect to relax a bit after so many busy travel days. Everything was clean and we had a lot of space

in 4 weeks in Guatemala this is the first place I stayed that charged for filtered water :( I think given the price it would be nice for it to be complimentary I wasn’t told that there was an area for swimming and only realised as I was leaving which I was quite sad about ! would be ideal to let guests know when they arrive

lovely staff great value for money with the beautiful treehouse cabin! amazing WiFi

There were very few guests. Ten years ago during our first visit the property was full of guests and full of life.

Second time at Finca Ixobel, a very special place on Guatemala itinerary. Had great day at Pozos on Rio Machaquila.

Internet was not working well in our room both times we stayed there. Dropped on and off. Mostly off. Alerted staff but it was not resolved. Had to work in the restaurant. Large live roach in the shower both visits but you are in the jungle!

Good restaurant and great location. Quiet. Very friendly owner.

i love the food, grounds and swimming in the freshwater pond. I went on two horseback rides also which were very fun and well worth the experience.

I didn't stay at the hotel. When I arrived around three in the morning, due to car issues,nobody was there to open the gate, and despite my attempts to call, nobody answered.
