El Hotelito Perdido - IZABAL

Eco-friendly hotel built with natural materials on the Rio Dulce riverbank

Accommodations

El Hotelito Perdido offers private cottages and rooms with river or garden views, built entirely with natural materials and local wood. Each room includes a private bathroom, parquet floors, balcony, and sofa bed. The limited number of private cottages gives guests a quiet, secluded stay.

The on-site restaurant serves Spanish cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Breakfast includes warm dishes, pancakes, cheese, and fruits; brunch and cocktails are also available. Guests share family-style dinners at a long communal table, with homemade bread a consistent guest favorite.

Activities & Recreation

Guests can rent kayaks and paddleboards to explore the river, with guided tours available to the nearby waterfall, hot springs, and cave. The hotel has a games room, board games, and offers cooking classes and chocolate-making workshops. Daily walking tours and local culture classes are organized by the tour desk.

Wellness & Relaxation

El Hotelito Perdido has a hot spring bath, open-air bath, and public bath for guest use. Massage services include back, foot, full body, head, and neck massages. Sun loungers and beach chairs are set along the riverbank, with hammocks scattered throughout the tropical gardens.
