Guest house Posada Ixchel

The room looks nothing like the photos (in a good way) - it was modern, clean and nicely furnished, everything very new! Big and comfy bed, spacious room, hot water in shower. We extended from 3 to 5 nights. Location is a perfect base for visiting Tikal, the colectivos pass by the road outside from 5:30am onwards. Also colectivos to and from Flores. There are many restaurants around and the shared kitchen was useful, just BYO matches/lighter for the gas stove as we couldn’t find any. Filtered water refills were appreciated. The family who run the place are so kind! We also adored their sweet cats and dogs, especially Freda the pug.

Wifi continually dropped out. The kitchen has an organic waste bin on the bench which is a great idea but it attracted tons of fruit flies, maybe a lid would help :)

The private sitting area and outdoor kitchen.

Amazing value! I feel like the place was renovated and is way nicer than what the photos show. The location is super close to the bus to Tikal and to the center of El Remate. The owner will also give you some tips on getting there via Bus if you ask.

The drinking water tank wasn't always full

Easy drop location. Good bare bones value.

Poor internet
