This time my family and I visited Livingston Guatemala, a town in the Caribbean side of the country, Department of Izabal. For our adventure to this side of the country we stayed in a beautiful hotel called Hotel Gil Resort. Now, this isn’t a big luxurious hotel, instead it is a cute, tiny, kid friendly, family owned hotel overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Take a look at some other great hotels in Guatemala.

The first thing that I loved about it was getting there because after a couple of hours of roads you have to take a small boat in the Puerto Barrios town to get there. That is the only way! The boat ride isn’t too long but it is along the Caribbean Coast so you get some beautiful sights.

I was impressed when I heard that this 14 room hotel is 62 years old. We were lucky enough to stay in one of their ocean view rooms and I loved it.

Some other things this hotel offers area restaurant where they offer typical Guatemalan dishes, seafood and the most traditional dish of the region Tapado. There is also a bar, a private dock, a jacuzzi, semiprivate beach and boat service.

We really enjoyed our stay there and we even took one of the tours they offer to a place called Seven Alters which is a place with a bunch of beautiful waterfalls where you can take a swim.

I would highly recommend this cute little hotel to anyone that is planning on visiting this side of Guatemala.
