BANANA PALMS HOTEL

Livingston and Rio Dulce

Banana Palms Hotel: Our View


The journey to or from this hotel, located on the banks of the Rio Dulce, approximately 90 minutes by boat from Livingston is half the adventure.  You pass small fishing settlements, indigenous villages and a profusion of wildlife, not to mention the superb primary rain forest that surrounds the area. The Banana Palms once had grand expectations and planned to build over 100 rooms on the edge of this sleepy little river and in the end it settled for 33.

Livingston and the Rio Dulce
The hotels location is its biggest selling point, being on the banks of both the Rio Dulce and the Caribbean Sea and as such it has superb views across the water.  It would be quite easy here to lose a day watching the boat traffic pass
Tikal
Situated inside the Tikal national park, this is the most convenient option for exploring the ancient Mayan city of Tikal - it is just twenty minutes walk from the centre of the ruins. This means that you can spend the whole day enjoying Tikal
Antigua
Meson de Maria is a great little option that represents good value for money.  This is not one of those hotels where you will want to hang out all day in, but it serves its purpose with clean comfortable rooms and lovely staff
