Palomino Ranch Hotel, El Remate

The staff were amazing. Loved waking up to the sound of horses. The hotel is situated in front of a beautiful lake that you can swim in. 20 to 30 minutes from Tikal makes it a great location to stay while visiting Tikal. I would stay here again

Weather was cloudy. So the hot water tank had no hot water. Remember it’s not the USA, they don’t have hot water heaters. They have have black tanks on the roof. The pool was also cold. The staff are logistical wizards and super friendly. They make some mean pancakes and eggs for breakfast.

Didnt spend much time on property but the times i did staff was VERY friendly and attentive which means alot when your in a new unfamiliar place. Would definitly

Overall we would come back to stay again. There is room for improvement and facility freshening. Our room was mostly comfortable and the air conditioning cold. The included breakfast was good and plentiful. Medelin the manager is outstanding, she is so helpful and eager to please. We would come back just because of her positive attitude. Keep in mind you are staying at a horse ranch. With horse smells and noises outside. None of this bothered us nor did it affect us inside. This was a unique experience that we enjoyed.

We had most memorable time staying in this hotel. The staff did everything to make our stay comfortable, we had very personal treatment. Ranch hotel is a beautiful Spanish-style modern building surrounded by nature with open terraces, hammocks to relax, stalls with horses and lake view. It has a pool but we swim instead every day in pristine waters of the lake with the access right cross the street. Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish, but manager Medelllin is bilingual and help us to arrange our time, helping with tours and providing info about area, restaurants etc. She addressed all our needs and even provided as with sandwiches and snacks when we had to wake up at 3 a.m to go to Tikal for sun-rising tour.The room is in colonial style, big, clean, and air-conditioned. The horses on the ranch are beautiful and we had 3 hours horse riding tour, my first time on horse, but it is unforgettable experience, I felt very comfortable and safe. The view of the lake from the top was fantastic. El Remate is a small village but the area is very accessible: lake, bird watching, restaurants, everything in walking distance. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

Everything was excellent, recomended 100% I loved the horses, my experience was excellent I loved that place. if I come back Im gonna stay there again. The staff was friendly with us

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Palomino Ranch hotel. The best part was the hosts and staff. The hotel is safe, secure, clean, and quiet. We enjoyed a horse back ride, which I would highly recommend. The lake is clean and beautiful, we swam in it daily. The pool is also clean and enjoyable. A couple recommendations would be a lamp on the nightstand (only light in the room is a bright chandelier) and a wifi extended to reach the guest rooms (though this may not be an issue for most people, we need wifi to work even while on vacation, sadly). I HIGHLY recommend this hotel!

Great staff, food, and room comfort as well as cleanliness! We had a great time!

Very helpful staff.Melani thank you so much for everything. We had a great accommodation.
