Zapote Tree Inn

The views were phenomenal, and the pool was refreshing. The room easily accommodated 5 of us other than a lack of a place to put luggage, it had enough beds for 2 more people. Taking boat rides to get everywhere was a fun experience and the hotel gave lower prices than I heard others negotiating. The upstairs relaxation area is wonderful. The entire hotel was very quiet less my kids. Mowgli,the hotel dog, won my kid's hearts. Know that you are in a remote area and there are frequent power outages. They were also very helpful in helping us secure a private transfer to Lanquín that was very comfortable and safe

My only complaint was that we had a mix up the first night, and it was equal parts our fault and the hotel's. Our flight got cancelled and we came in later than expected. We let the hotel know, but we didn't have any service on the runway, and we were 30 mins later than expected. When we landed we couldn't reach anyone, which was a little intimidating in the middle of the night in an unknown place with kids. Fortunately a driver at the airport was able to help us secure a different hotel. On booking the owner said we wouldn't be charged for that night, but when I paid at the end of our stay, they charged me half price for that night, which I hadn't anticipated, and I had already booked an extra day with them so that we could do additional things. It would've been nice to know the price in advance for budgeting as they charge a hefty fee for using cards, and I hadn't pulled out quite enough cash to cover it. There is no ATM near the hotel. Fortunately, they let me pay part in cash and part by card. The water at the hotel was piping hot (near scalding). The climate was very warm and humid, so we would've preferred cold showers to hot, but couldn't control the temperature. Another thing to be aware of (not a negative on the hotel, just part of the experience) There were frequent power outages in the area, and no generators on the property, so they advised no power also meant no running water. Likewise generators on Flores nor in Santa Elena support the ATMs, so I would recommend getting cash before heading there so that you aren't out of luck and in dire need.

It was so quiet and beautiful with all the nature around. The staff was wonderful and always available per WhatsApp. We really enjoyed our stay there especially with the house dog Mowgli. You can always take something to drink or just relax in the hammocks upstairs. The room was better than the pictures and very clean. We even stayed longer because we loved it so much.

Wonderful host. Beautiful view

A bit farther away

Excellent stay in a beautiful setting! The accommodations are very simple but clean. The setting and wonderful staff is what makes this place special.

Water flow was very slow in our shower and sink

Personnel très sympathique et aidant Restaurant abordable et bon Vue depuis les espaces communs Air conditionné

Pas de vue sur le lac de la chambre contrairement à ce qui était indiqué. Douche quasi inutilisable (absence d'eau chaude et froide). Je ne recommanderais pas forcément de dormir de ce côté du lac car plus compliqué d'accès même sil y a des bateaux disponibles, par exemple pour manger c'est assez limité. Piscine plus petite que sur les photos mais appréciable.

De host had voor ons een taxi vanaf het vliegveld, de bootovertocht en transport naar het hotel geregeld. Echt een hele goede service. Aangekomen: wat een prachtig uitzicht op Flores Island. Echt een heerlijke tuin, mooi ingericht tuin met verschillende zithoeken, zwembad(je) om even lekker af te koelen en de koelkast met drankjes in de buurt. De ontspannen sfeer en het vertrouwen (biertje pakken, zelf opschrijven) is erg plezierig. De host heeft ook een trip naar Tikal voor ons georganiseerd. Super geregeld allemaal. Ik raad Zapotte tree Inn van harte aan.

Een kleine opmerking bij de kamer. De airco maakte wat meer herrie dan dat ik elders (nieuwere exemplaren) heb ervaren.

Het personeel en de mooie locatie

Je moet een bootje nemen om in Flores te komen maar ook dat is prima geregeld
