Wow, what a great guest experience. To feel like a special guest in a resort property was truly remarkable. Any request was promptly met & with a smile. A family who loved their business of entertaining guests. SUPER!

What an awesome experience we had with this little hotel, in general!! We flew into Flores on an early morning TACA flight from Guatemala City, were met at the airport by a driver arranged by the hotel, then went on a tour of Tikal with an amazing and knowledgeable guide we heard about through the hotel and Trip Advisor named...

This hotel has so much going for it in its grounds, proximity to Tikal, free meal voucher/night, reasonable prices. However, a couple of incidents left us with a bad taste. First, the small stuff -- there's a general rationing of things e.g. coffee with breakfast where you only get one cup with your meal and have to pay extra for... More

We just happen to come across this place and decided to stay for one night while touring Tikal. Three days later we were still there. The view from our room was perfect, peaceful, and quiet. The staff was more than helpful and the food was delicious. We have been touring MX and Guatemala and would have to say that this... More

Perfect location for trips to Tikal, Yaxha and Mirador. Rosa cooks some fantastic food and her pink lemonade is famous in the Peten! Davis took us on a tour of his gardens and we were sad to miss the Dragon Fruit fruiting! Reception arranged for a brilliant guide, Samuel, to take us around Tikal. He was very informative and we...

My parents and I stayed in La Casa De Don David for 3 nights to visit Tikal and Flores. We had our own vehicle so it was a great distance from both destinations. El Remate is a very chill non-touristy area where the air seems cleaner and everybody is very friendly. The hotel is very peaceful and beautiful and has... More

La Casa de Don David is a charming base from which we explored the parks at Tikal and Yaxha. My sister and I and another friend stayed there in January 2011 and we knew we would return one day. In March of this year my sister and I were most delighted to be able to show my husband what a... More

This place was amazing. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and helpful, the grounds were beautiful and everyone should experience the Toucan Express. And the price can not be beat. I will be going back.

Great price! Great place! Very clean rooms and the grounds are beautiful too. There is a deck that overlooks the lake that you can order drinks from. They come on the Toucan express that is a zipline from the restaurant. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. It was like staying at a resort at hostel... More

Stayed here for two nights in April--a free meal each day, walking distance from a few other great restaurants, and a good starting off point for visiting Tikal. The service was excellent and the "Toucan Express" made ordering beers from the overlook quirky and easy. Lucas the dog was also a charming mascot!
