Cohune Palms River Cabanas

Such a beautiful property! We saw howler monkeys, spider monkeys (I think, it was not a howler that’s all I know lol) fire beetles glowing in the palm trees, agouti’s, roadrunners, Toucans, all on the property. My kids had so much fun playing in the river and the rope swing. They would have been content not seeing anything else in San Ignacio and just staying there all day. The breakfast and dinners were very good and convenient. It felt like we had a private resort all to ourselves. Mike who lives on sight is a wonderful person also and was great having him around to hear some of his stories and knowledge of the area. Everyone that worked there were absolutely great. If I come back to this area I would absolutely be staying here again.

Great location right by the river, which was very refreshing. Very nice cabanas in a beautiful jungle setting.

We enjoyed our stay My wife and I had a great time during our stay. Mario was great for arranging our tours and also just fun to talk to when we would come back at the end of the day. The breakfasts were delicious.

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It was so calm and peaceful. The staff are wonderful and will go out of their way to help you with anything you need. It's definitely more at the 'rustic' end of the scale but we really enjoyed that aspect. The river is wonderful to jump in and cool off and Mario helped us with a river tubing trip that ended right at the hotel's desk. Camille who cooked the food was so wonderful and kind and we really loved the delicious local dishes she made for us. While staying there we saw agoutis, howler monkeys, hummingbirds, a toucan and a jaguarundi right on the property.

So glad we chose Cohune Cabanas for our stay in San Ignacio. It's close enough to town that you can run in and out a few times a day, but also feels like you're deep in the jungle once you're there - complete with howler monkeys and the river right out front to explore. We really enjoyed taking tubes and floating down the river. The staff was very helpful with recommendations. Would love to stay there again!

Most of the hotels in San Ignacio are away from the center of town and sometimes pretty far away. The Cohune Palms is also out of town but not a long drive to go back to restaurants or shops. Of course it's setting feels so different from the town, in a good way. One needs to know that it has a more rustic feel than some of the higher priced places, but that is what we came for. No televisions, A/C, etc. However, they have fans in the rooms and even though I was worried about the heat my worries were unfounded as it cools off well at night and the location makes it cool during the day. We had a car and so it was easy to get around from the Cohune Palms and they were kind enough to let us leave our car there as we went over to Guatemala for a couple of days. When we came back we took a taxi from town and the cost was only 5BZE per person. I would think that the food would be quite good but we only had breakfast there one day, for I think 12USD, and it was really good. As others reviewers mentioned, everyone there was super friendly and helpful. We were glad to have stayed there and would recommend it to others if you are looking for that type of experience.
