Nirvana Resort | Other in Puerto Barrios, Izabal

Positive: The hotel is more than a hotel. It’s a small gateway to paradise hidden in the forest. Chris is an amazing person, not only host. He has a lovely dog too. Great at making drinks and lovely kitchen. Be sure to get in touch before arriving to have all the information to reach the hotel comfortably.

Positive: The property is right on the beach. Beautifully finished, like a little slice of paradise. The room was really beautiful and the owners and staff are really amazing! One of the best breakfasts we had in Guatemala. Walking distance to Siete Altares and some other beachfront restaurants. Definitely recommend!

Positive: We altered our travel plans to go to Livingston just to stay at this resort and it was the best decision ever. Heidi and Kris went out of their way to make it one of the most memorable stays we ever had. What we loved: the comfortable, spacious bungalow with the great bed, the beach access right in front of us, the extraordinary homemade food and cocktails, the private pier and the cat + dog! We were even lucky to catch the supermoon rising from the water, magical experience. Cannot recommend this place enough, it’s heaven and you will not be disappointed!

Positive: Freshly picked coconut water upon our arrival, pristinely kept grounds surrounded by local flora with the sound of birds/waves all around us, and a gentle ocean breeze through our hair...ABSOLUTE NIRVANA🪷 Our stay was peaceful, safe, with a plethora of amenities and attention to all the details. It was filled with moments that felt personalized, as the owners took every opportunity to ensure that our experience complimented the occasion. My husband booked this little gem in celebration of our Wedding Anniversary, and the experience far superseded my expectations. Secluded, comfortable, and romantic🏖️🐚🩷 If all you have is a back pack on your back and comfortable shoes, feel free to access this place through the jungle walking trail. It's an experience to enter this tranquil property in such a manner...we certainly did and it didn't disappoint. Otherwise, the place offers a pick up service, where you will be personally escorted with your baggage by boat to the property's private pier. I've always dreamed of being whisked away to a private island with all the comforts, and this place brought that dream to fruition 🏝️🥭🥥 So grateful for such a unique experience, and we look forward to future visits!

Positive: The room was spacious and clean, staff extremely helpful and kind. The whole environment is amazing.

Negative: The sea in front was very dirty, you can’t swim. Prices in the bar were around 20~30% higher than anywhere else with no other choices around.

Positive: Heidi & Kris, the owners. Great people, super kind! We really felt at home. Will come back!

Positive: I liked the location and the design of the plane. It is obvious the owners put a lot of thought into the design.

Negative: The Limited menu, no clean community water for guests, suggestions on tours around Livingston and rio dulce.
