Zapote Tree Inn & Iwana Tours

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.

Strongly recommend this place if you are visiting Flores. We were welcomed with warmth and felt so well taken care of by Peter, Eric, and the entire staff at Zapote. It has an idyllic location overlooking the island, great food, the most adorable dogs, and easy access by boat. It is also a great place to unwind, enjoy the sounds of birds and crickets, pop open a bottle of beer, and pass time on the hammocks. Peter and Eric organised our airport picks ups, boat rides to the island, tour of Tikal, and meals so we had to worry about nothing!
