My entire experience at Nabitunich was fabulous. I arrived quite late in the evening and Dominic was welcoming; he took time to show me around and even provided me with a few snacks from the kitchen. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. My room was cozy and had all that I needed...full refrigerator, kitchen sink, table and chairs, snacks and coffee, and comfy bed. It's located away from town so it's graced by lush greenery, birds, and even howler monkeys in the distance. Magnolia, the farm dog was sweet and slept each night on my patio. I am a solo traveler and felt safe at all times of the day. I enjoyed a walk to Xunantunich (a hidden gem). I picked up some fruit from a produce stand and even found a wonderful bakery in the little village of San Jose Succotz. Dominic was genuinely friendly and interesting to talk with. He recommended Elmer for a Tikal tour. There weren't enough people for the tour so Elmer set me up with another great tour group. Finally, breakfast and dinner were both homemade and excellent. I enjoyed the cooler full of beer and soft drinks that could be accessed 24/7 on an honor system. I would definitely stay there again.
Negative:
Everything was excellent. I didn't like that I wasn't able stay there longer!
Summary: Nabatunich is a peaceful place to come back to after a day of exploring!

The location was outstanding for birdwatching and nature. The people were all friendly and helpful. The room was large and had everything we needed. Go to the local Botanic Gardens and 1000ft falls.
Summary: Immersed in nature.

We had a very pleasant stay and the accommodation itself was excellent. What really made the difference, however, was the hospitality of the owner, Dominic. He is truly a man of the world: open-minded, interesting, and very engaging to talk to. He takes genuine interest in his guests, while at the same time giving them enough space and freedom, which creates a perfect balance. Conversations with him were always enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. We always felt welcome and could count on him whenever needed. This made our stay not only comfortable, but also memorable.
Thanks a lot! Reinout & Ciska

We were greeted by Dominic, he is the owner and a super nice guy, very helpful and knowledgeable. This property has been in the family since 1917. Rebecca, his wife, responded to my email questions prior to arrival.
Breakfast honestly was a lot of food some days.
The grounds are stunning and beautiful. The plants, wildlife, and mother nature operate in great synergy, at this location. This property is just stunning. Wake up to multiple roosters, crowing, howler monkeys, holwing, then watch the leaf cutter ants work. This was our first morning.
Cabins are definitely for basic nature lovers, no frills. Having worked for USDA in the USA, this is a nature lovers paradise.
We used a ride share service. Eddie was our driver, he was very friendly and helpful. He was available to take us to and from our scheduled outings, drove us into San Ignacio for dinner, shopping at the market, and arranged a day trip to the Tikal ruins in Guatemala.
Negative:
Property is very rustic. The cabins we stayed in were definitely for nature lovers, no frills. Personally I think a few upgrades and basic comforts, etc, chairs in rooms, are needed.
Scheduled a cave dwelling adventure they canceled because they over booked. At the last minute it was canceled because the caves were flooded.
Summary: Plants, wildlife, and mother nature operate in great synergy at this location..

Dominic and his team know how to make guests feel instantly welcome and ensure they want for nothing! Breakfast and dinner were always freshly prepared. Dominic took a genuine interest in all the guests and is incredibly open-minded. He organizes everything that's requested! The location of the accommodation can only be described as "excellent"! Situated outside of St. Ignacio with a view of the Mayan ruins. It's a small farm where dogs and roosters play. In the mornings and afternoons, a few horses ride across the meadow. You can easily walk down to the river and observe iguanas, or hike directly to the ferry for the Xabitunich ruins! We had a truly fantastic time there! Thank you so much!!
Negative:
Nothing to complain about
Summary: hidden gem with a love for nature

Breath taking scenery. Serene all nature and beautiful.
Negative:
Plumbing issues with the toilet and the shower continually dripped. Hot water was not available first day. Constant odour in the bathroom near the toilet. Mattress was too small for the bed frame, family members fell off twice.
Summary: Beautiful place but needs some upkeep. Some picnic tables and lounge chairs on the grass would be ni

Domenic, the Owner, was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. We arrived in the dark and he came out with a flashlight to help us move into our room. Beautiful farm/tropical environment with thousands of butterflies, hummingbirds, other birds, and all types of plants and flowers. Very close to Xunantinich Ruins. Breakfast with good coffee is great each morning. Azteca restaurant nearby was good too for dinner on our way in.
Negative:
It was a little hard to find in the dark, and the road in is a narrow dirt road and full of potholes. We were not sure we were headed to the right place, but trust Google Maps - at the end of the road is a really cool place to stay! Some of the rooms have adjoining thin walls (we could hear a guy coughing and snorting next to us), but others are stand alone. We would book a separate one next time.
Summary: Beautiful tropical farm Inn stay, near ruins and San Ignacio, and all the area offers.
