There wasn’t anything that they could control that we didn’t like!

Alice’s guesthouse is a literal oasis in the jungle! There are great vibes from the staff and the common areas, and we had spider monkeys right over one of our bungalows one evening! They were thoughtful checking in with us during our stay, they helped arrange a taxi, and were just incredibly welcoming and lovely!

Excellent good choice and really good quality food. Lovely restaurant area to sit and relax in. Fantastic grounds, felt very welcome. Lots of good advice given. Woke up to the. Sound of howler monkeys in the tree behind our dorm. What an experience. Saw hummingbirds, toucans, and monkeys from the bar area.

Eh.. you are in the jungle :) you will be joined on your journey with bugs and take your shower with coaching toads 😊

Beautiful place, you feel like you are in a jungle. Definitely worth visiting to have a different perspective of the lake. Room was beautiful, hot shower and lovely hammocks to just chill.

Pretty high but nice walk. You have to be careful

Perfect spot, kind people and sleeping outside (house without walls) and listening nature? AMAZING!!

I had a phenomenal stay here. The owner is incredibly nice and the employees are great as well.

As it's very indoor/outdoor living, we did have a fair few ants in our room when we came back one evening. Not a huge problem as we expected some bugs but may be helpful for future guests to know.

Where to begin... We had the most wonderful stay at Alice's Guesthouse. All the staff are absolutely amazing and really attentive. Everyone wanted to know how we were doing and how our days had been, it felt very homely. It's a real oasis and a perfect place to relax and listen to all the wildlife. It was really handy having the restaurant and bar on site, and as it closes by 10 you could get an early night without any noise. We were travelling to Belize City after our stay here and Alice got us booked onto a shuttle the day before with no issue, super helpful. So many cute cats and dogs (an added bonus!) We didn't book an organised tour to Tikal through the guesthouse just as we wanted to be a little more flexible on our timings but it was really easy to get a local bus at the end of the road up to Tikal for around £3 pp. All in all, an amazing stay, thank you!

The walk to the accommodation was a bit longer than anticipated

Setting was gorgeous, really stylish grounds, well kept & very friendly owners & staff. The food was also lovely

Nice and quiet place. We stayed in a dorm with double beds. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The bed sheets were a bit used and there is no place to put your clothes but it was clean and well prepared. They serve amazing smoothies

Nothing at all!

We loved our stay at Alice’s guesthouse. The on site restaurant cooked great food (for breakfast, lunch and dinner) at a very reasonable price, the staff were lovely and the relaxed vibe was very enjoyable. Loved the proximity to the lake and how at one with nature we felt during our stay. There’s not many places you can stay and wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys.

The dorm was located in a tower which moved every time someone moved around.

Nice location in the jungle. Beautiful design and friendly staff!

El Remate to tikal the shuttle is 70Q (one way). 100Q(2way) Flores to Tikal, the shuttle is 100Q. However the distance is half way between El Remate and tikal. That's doesn't make sense for me. Alice told that is not her price. Finally we took public shuttle, from el remate to tikal, 30Q each way/person. We enjoyed the free time from 730am until 3pm. We had more free time than the tour.

The staff is nice and helpful. All area is clean, tidy and impress. Have booked the bed for 2 people. Normal is single bed for dorm room. Luckily We felt comfortable and no problem at all. The temperature is very high 37 degrees, doesn't felt hot, I guess the top of the room, made of leave. Good place for staying. 😁

Sits at the edge of the jungle above the lake. Lots of birds and butterflies. Good food offered. Nice staff.

There were lots of people smoking cigarettes in the restaurant/lounging area which is hard for me because the smoke gives me headaches.

The setting was so lovely, out in the jungle with beautiful views of the surrounding areas. The restaurant/lounging area was very nice in an outdoor setting. The food was very good. The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The whole vibe of the setting was chill and magical.

No kitchen. (Would give 9,5 stars but well, the place deserves it.)

Amazing place, beautiful & natural. The owners Nathalie & Dimitri are super nice & welcoming too!

Bed slightly uncomfortable and you can hear the outside as you are in a palapa and it is shaky when people come un and down but the room is very spacious, you get a mosquito net. There is no kitchen to your disposal so bear in mind, ut you can use a fridge and they provide you with cutlery if needed:)

The place is idillic, in the middle of jungle, have activities around to do and walks, the owners are lovely and there is always a fire lit😊

Few cleaning things, but maybe I’m just fussy.

The guy who owned the guesthouse is really nice and made an effort to make us welcome. Vege lasagne was awesome.

Fantastic spot near Tikal. Quiet, beautiful, sounds of nature. Perfect facilities (great shower). Beds, even in dorm are large and comfortable. Lovely restaurant/bar. The food was really good and varied. The atmosphere is great. They’ll help with whatever you need, ongoing travels, tours in the area etc. Can’t recommend enough.

Saying negative things would be pedantic

Very beautiful landscaping, lovely to sit on the deck of the house or in the restaurant and look at the nature. Staff was nice and helpful 😊

Amazing little eco-resort with great attention to every detail. Perfect to visit Tikal. Alice, the owner, is super friendly and happy to help

Stayed in August 2024

It is run by foreigners for foreigners so you don't get a very local experience. But you can always eat in more local places and use public transport to make up for that aspect and meet more regular locals.

The cabin was wonderful it has all you need and is aesthetically very pleasing. The location is great as it is near the lake but not too close to the busier area. It is very clean and the garden is quite relaxing!
