Lower Dover Jungle Lodge & Maya Ruins

Maddie is awesome. She makes sure you are comfortable and happy. She is also a great cook. The meals are made with love. We will be back. Great relaxing stay.

The property is exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable and convenient. The property there is quite amazing with its ruins and the river and clear creek running right through it. Maddie especially made our time there special. She was so helpful in planning our days and sharing such interesting information about the area in addition to providing meals of breakfast and dinner that were wonderful for a very reasonable fee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lower Dover. We didn't have a car, but a bus stop was a 10 minute walk away so it was easy to get into San Ignacio. Maddie was a wonderful, helpful host. She dropped us off in San Ignacio one day, had great suggestions on things to do, ate dinner with us many nights, played board games with us, and made delicious food. We especially enjoyed the vegetarian dinners she made for us when there weren't other guests. We stayed in the Red Cabana. It was perfect for us and included a comfortable bed and outdoor toilet. They were building a bar very close to the cabana when we were there, so that may take away from the lovely deck lounging atmosphere. Her property was great for meandering through the forest exploring ruins, and looking for wildlife. It was a great place to chill for a few days.

Excelente lugar y un trato extraordinario de parte de sus propietarios y personal que trabaja en el lugar. Limpio, cómodo, buena comida y con un ambiente natural único. Las habitaciones cumplen muy bien y las regaderas compartidas muy limpias y con agua caliente y fría. Gracias a Mary y a todo su equipo. Gran experiencia en familia.

This place is very back to nature. They have a mini farm with turkeys and ducks etc. Because it’s a little out of the way they do offer Brkfst and dinner. If you book in advance they reserve dinner. If coming in late, take advantage it was a very nice meal. There is also a time restriction for dinner, be aware. Owner is very nice and informative.

Lower Dover is a treasure in the jungle you cannot miss. The property and the beautiful wood houses have access to a river in the middle of the jungle and , last but not least, in the property you can visit a maya ruin which is amazing!! It feels like being in an Indians Jones movie for real, for me it was emotional to walk around these uncovered ruins in the middle of a luxury jungle. Magdalena is a fantastic host, I loved her kindness, her amazing stories, her dinner and healthy breakfast, I think she is great. Thanks to her we were able to visit ATM early in the morning avoiding all the many tourists that visit it every day. So Thank you Magdalena!! We highly recommend to stay in this beautiful relaxing place immerse in the nature!! Chiara, Antonio and Henry from Italy.
