Q25 ($3) for a dorm bed, Q15 ($2) for a hammock

A hostel in the center of Flores that's popular with travelers. European owned with a restaurant, cheap Happy Hour, internet access and a book exchange. This place is also home to one of the few Vegetarian Restaurant in Northern Guatemala. The food is good but if your a hard core meat lover, move on. Skip the boxed lunch for Tikal, unless you like soggy white bread and processed cheese. Using the door to get in can be tricky. Just ring the door bell and out of nowhere you will hear this bird chime. This is their 'door bell'. Someone will soon open the door for you by pulling a rope from the ceiling. IF you want to get out, find the tweety bird hanging from a rope in the lobby and pull it, that should open it. Don't use their travel services especially for shuttles or trust their travel information on the website. Will sell you first-class seats on Linea Dorado and put you in second-class seats on a lesser bus line.

Hotel Villa Maya
10 km outside of Flores, on the way to Tikal

A quiet place by Laguna Petenchel with a pool, restaurant, and kayak and bike rentals. There are crocodiles in the laguna, so bathing is safest in the pool. There are various paths in the area, from a 10-minute stroll on the premises to one hour around the laguna. This hotel is a little expensive, but worth the extra cost.

Hospedaje Doña Goya II

Next door to Doña Goya, but a little roomier, with a friendly atmosphere and good breakfasts. Roof top hammocks with a nice view of the lake are available.
