Having just returned from Guatemala, Finca Tatin is and will remain the highlight of my trip. My friend and I arrived planning to stay 1 or 2 nights and stayed 4. This is a piece of heaven in the jungle - this hostel is remote, but accessible...... it is very, very clean.....it feels very off the beaten path and is... More

Definitely not a luxury bungalow resort if that is what you are looking for but if you want a decent stay in a friendly and affordable jungle retreat, this is your place. kayaking to livingston is a must. be aware of the scorpions!

Finca Tatin is a great place to stay whether you are traveling alone, as a couple, or with a family. It is located directly on a fresh river that is free to swim in without fear of any predators. It has a main area where you can charge your electronics and dining area that is great for the family dinners... More

We had made and got it confirmed, a reservation for a bungalow at medium price (about Qu 180). When we got there, we were asked if we wanted one overlooking the river, to which we agreed. Only later did we find out, that those cost Qu 240, we were not told. Of course it is our own fault for not... More

We found this place looking on the internet for the Spanish School. Soon we learned it is not a bed & breakfast and there are no Spanish classes. The surrounding of Finca Tatin looks beautiful, the river is great to swim but it is dark and dump inside the bungalows. Make sure your mosquito net is intact as there are... More

This gem was a 20 minute boat journey up the river. Our cabana was on the river bank. the room was spacious with an ensuite shower and toilet which was quite basic but adequate. Plenty of space between cabins. Walk ways over the swamp gave a feel of living outdoors. The river was safe to swim in and was a... More

Although I find value in most things and places, I am not easily impressed. This might have to do with the fact that I grew up and live in New York City and that Dominican Republic is also home. There are -of course-, places that upon encountering them, manage to impress me, but no other place has mesmerized me more... More

The common areas at this finca were great and the food was good. We were in what appeared to be an older bungalow and had not been cleaned (animal feces in the bed) the bathroom sink had termites, there were spiders everywhere and the bug net was full of holes. Some of the other bungalows looked like they were in... More

The Fica Tatin was an unexpected treasure during our month trip through Belize and Guatemala. We had jungle, beauty, peace, friendship and adventure. You'll arrive by boat through beautiful wide and deep canyon walls and explore on foot or kayak. The hotel is on a side river, built on stilts over the swamp. The hosts have taken pride with their...
