Hotel Gringo Perdido

This hotel has exceeded all my expectations. It is truly a hidden gem. The prices are reasonable, the rooms are clean with all necessary modern amenities, yet seem set in the past with beautiful views from private patios overlooking the picturesque lake and rainforest. I've stayed in a luxury suite comparable to any 5 star hotel in the U.S., almost too nice for me yet still affordable, and I moved to a smaller bungalow with a nice view, more reminiscent of rooms I stayed in years ago, as I've extended my stay for a couple more weeks. The food is incredible and even plated and prepared as though by top restauranteurs in the city. The management and staff are very friendy and the grounds are well groomed yet retain the natural beauty of the Peten rainforest. It will be difficult to leave this paradise.

beautiful location on a lake. you could jump in the water from the dock whenever you wanted.

Hotel Gringo Perdido was a truly great place to stay during our 3-day trip to Tikal and other historical sites. The asphalted road leading to the entrance of HGP is probably the best road in the area as it was recently poured and a second pouring is scheduled soon. The HGP staff were very welcoming and informed us of the complimentary breakfast as well as the complimentary dinner. All the meals we had were delicious, well prepared and presented, and very healthy. We stayed in Suite # 1 and it was very clean, however, there was no television for late night or early morning news viewing. But we did not come this way to watch television so it was not a deal breaker. The pool, the lake, and the beautiful view of the Peten Itza Lake was breathtaking. The suite had two heavy duty hammocks which were very comfortable. The owners created this hotel with everything in mind. I would definitely recommend Hotel Gringo Perdido to be the location of your visit.
