Our room was sparse but perfectly fine, lovely view of lake, nice balconey, no real complaints (except it was the only accommodation on our Caravan Tour that did not supply shampoo and other basic toilletries, but I had some so no problems there.), We knew in advance it wasn't equipped with TV or Internet, etc. so my husband was bored...

the hotel is exotic. While the rooms are average but clean, the grounds are wonderful, in the middle of a jungle with birds and crocodiles in residence. The food is very nice. The out of town location provides for a quite stay after a long visit to the ruins. The pool is great and so is the service. Many tour... More

Right in the rain forest with wildlife around. Do spare the time to walk around the like early in the morning, if you are lucky you can see monkeys, crocodiles etc. More

The hotel is actually a set of various types of bungalows spreading alongside the lagoon where you can hear incredible jungle sounds (most prominent are ubiquitous howler monkeys). If you are lucky enough, you can take a picture of a roe feeding outside the fence or a crocodile resting on a lakefront. So you'll forgive this place tired and worn... More

Fantastic setting; at breakfast we sat on the restaurant balcony and watch the crocodiles coming to the bank of the lake to be fed. Room damp and cold but otherwise comfortable, no coffee, tea, TV or bathroom toiletries and too dark to read a book in bed. Half board is based on a minimalist, limited menu. Female receptionist not particulary... More

This was our 2nd stay at the Villa Maya..our previous trip was in 2007. Although almost an hour away from Tikal, it is your best choice when compared to other places in the town of Flores. The tropical setting is beautiful and the air-conditioned rooms are a relaxing end to a day of walking the ruins. The breakfast is wonderful... More

It's 10 minutes drive from Flores but it is set in wonderful grounds with its' own lagoon, the sunsets are beautiful from the veranda. The rooms are in lodges, try and get one overlooking the main lagoon. They are spacious, have good air con and are very well maintained by friendly staff. There are 2 good pools for all ages....

No question, Villa Maya is the place to be if you're hunting Mayan ruins in the jungle. It's just a stela's throw from Flores airport and about an hour from Tikal (45 minutes if the taxi is in a hurry). Great rooms located on the shore of a dreamy lake - clean, comfy, quiet. Get up early in the morning... More

Watch the crocodiles lazing around while having breakfast in this lovely location between two lagoons. Good clean rooms with comfy beds and a/c - each with own balcony looking onto lagoon. Very nice staff - very helpfu. Didn't use the pool, but it looked nice. Great trail around the lagoon that you can either walk or bike (they have bikes... More

We stayed here only one night to visit Tikal, this means we didn´t make use of all facilities of this hotel. We had the lunch at the hotel and we had no claims, also the breakfast was buffet and was good. The room was also good as we had more or less a bungalow with view toa a lake. Well... More
