Zapote Tree Inn & Iwana Tours

Great place to unwind. Rooms are pretty tight, and some of the beds are more comfortable than others. But you're not paying top dollar, it's great for the price. Probably don't go if you have small kids as there are several places they could fall off, and the pool tiles are very slippery. The pool is small but cool and very welcome. The view of Flores Island is great. Peter and his staff are super helpful and they charge fair prices for boats and tours - you won't get cheaper at the dock. And there are toucans to wake you up at your window at 6am! (ask not to stay in room 4 if you want to sleep in). We also enjoyed watching squirrels and humming birds around the grounds.

Amazing!!! From the soft landing and pickup at the airport to the comfortable beds we could not have felt more at home. Peter and his staff had every detail managed. Just pick what you want to do and it’s all set up. We were treated better than family! The food was amazing, the staff was hospitable and gracious, and the pool (albeit tiny) was perfect for cooling off. We had breakfasts there and were sad not to have made it for dinner. If you have time to do the sunset tour at Yaxha it is an absolute must. They even packed us a box lunch to take! If this place is available, just book it. You won’t be disappointed. We will surely be back.

This place is truly a hidden gem! One of the coolest inns I’ve ever stayed at. The hotel itself is built on a hillside with a spectacular view of Flores while still easily accessible to the island. Also walking distance from some unexcavated Mayan ruins as well as a gorgeous gravel beach and a super fun restaurant only accessible by boat. But honestly the best part of this place is the beings that inhabit it: Peter, Eric, Mowgli, Baloo and the crew really make it feel like a home away from home with their kindness and generosity. Honestly a real 12/10, don’t think twice just book it.
