Comforts of home with the luxury of a vacation

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at this house in Rio Dulce. It was a good value and was just as advertised. Neto and his family took great care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this location.

Great Amenities

We stayed in the Rio Dulce home for three nights and had a great time. The home is spacious and offers many things to do - kayaks, floating island, boat, ping pong. Neto, the caretaker, was fabulous. He was always available to take us to town or other activities and was very helpful in getting us on a collectivo to visit the hot springs water fall. Netos' wife cooked us an amazing breakfast and they both kept the house clean and operating. Alejandro was very responsive and helpful as well.

Tom’s Paradise is a gem. The location is great. If you choose to fly in by private plane, which I strongly recommend, Alejandro can help you out. Staff will meet your plane and take you by boat to your villa. Breakfast was delicious and fixed at whatever time you need depending on what time you need to leave for excursions. Want to sleep in? they can do that too! Though you may want ear plugs as there is a lot of boat traffic on the river. Neto will run you into town on the boat for a small fee for lunch, dinner or groceries. We had them cook a delicious dinner for us 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed both nights. Alejandro is a very attentive host and will respond to any question or request within minutes.

Amazing experience!

We were a family of 7. The house is beautiful, spacius, lots of lights, really confortable. I have to say, the host Alejandro very attentive, he was communicating with us all the time along. Asking us how do we feel and anything to contact him. Very reliable. Neto, the wife and daughters very attentive, delicious food, very helpful everybody. I strobgly recommend this place. We were very happy there, but sad to leave.

It is a true paradise!The communication from the moment of booking was awesome. Host responds immediately. The check in super easy. We were delayed due to traffic, so we messaged host and Neto with new arrival time and they were waiting for us at the dock.When we arrived at the place we were in awe. It is a true paradise. We had dinner and breakfast prepared for us and it was delicious !Bug spray is a must!We stayed only for 2 nights, wish we new how beautiful the place was and stayed there longer.We did playa blanca trip, so some dolphins on the way, stopped at the restaurant and had tapado dish ( super good), also stopped at the thermal waters and passed the bird island. We would definitely go back and there a lot longer.

Beautiful Vacation

My husband and I visited this property and give it an outstanding review. It was perfect for our intended gift to his family who live in Guatemala City. We totaled 10 adults and we all fell in love with Tom's Paradise! The bus ride from the city was also an adventure through the different landscapes of Guatemala. Most of his family had never been to the region and remarked that they would love to return. Neto and his family are another amazing benefit. Spanish fluency is a plus, however, even my somewhat fluent self could manage. :) Their services made the experience of the property unforgettable. Thank you for offering us a chance to experience the Rio Dulce in such a remarkable home. We are also very thankful to our host, Alex. Our booking had some unique scheduling and he was very helpful throughout. All our best, Heather, Jose and Family

True paradise

Im not even sure where to begin. This property was amazing. We took a private ride from Guatemala City airport it took about 6 hours and it was more then worth it. From the moment you arrive you realize this experience is going to be anything but average. We truly didn’t lift a finger to do anything. Neto and his family cater to every need. We didn’t even need to look for things to do. Alejandro has put together a great package so you are able to see so many options . Neto and axl take you wherever you want to go and assure your safety. Even to get your COVID tests if needed for re entry to your country. We stayed for a week and everyday did something breathtaking . From jumping into waterfalls that are in caves, to seeing dolphins on the way to playa Blanca , to kayaking with the sun setting behind us. This is definitely for people with a love of nature and respect for the fact that you are in a rain forest environment! You won’t regret staying here! Side note: the pool was amazing!

Absolutely amazing place to stay. We stayed an extra 2 nights!

We thought the property was beautiful as we came up by boat. We were amazed by the welcome from neto and his family and how much they catered to my families needs. Alejandro was thoughtful and helped us with any translations as we didn't speak Spanish. We ended up staying 2 days longer than we should have because we loved it that much. Would recommend to anyone....
