The Nitun is a small property (only 4 guest cabins) set in a beautiful and peaceful plot of rainforest about a 15 minute boat ride from Flores. The rooms aren't traditionally luxurious, but they're very charming in a "jungle lodge" sort of style. The common area where you eat your meals is likewise very charming and the grounds are beautiful.... More

This place is absolutely amazing. There are too many good things to say about this place. The owners, Lorena y Bernie, are the best. They treat you family and they will take care of you from start to finish. We visited Aguateca, Yaxha and Tikal. If you can, go to all three of them. All offer an extremely unique experience... More

This was our first stop in the country and her... More

We stayed 4 nights and had a fantastic experience. The staff was extremely hospitable and professional.

An extraordinary team, fine food, a paradise in this wonderful lake waters, Thank you all for this wonderful experience! Nice for Honny Moon!

I stayed for 1 night with my companions- the meal, lodging, and swim in the lake, was very memorable! One of the highlights of my trip to Central America.

We stayed one night, but in addition took a full-day tour and an overnight tour (Yaxchilan, and Yaxha) with Nitun's Monkey Eco Tours...guided by Bernie Mittelstaedt. We wanted to stay three nights at Nitun, but it just wasn't feasible with the degree of exploration I wanted to do at Tikal, and Lorena was frank and helpful in guiding our planning... More
