Eastern Guatemala
Hotel Villa Caribe
Hotel Villa Caribe occupies an enviable seaside location on the edge of Livingston, a lively, small Garifuna town surrounded by tropical vegetation located at the mouth of the Rio Dulce where it flows into the Caribbean Sea. The fact that Livingston can be reached only by boat makes it an even more exclusive and attractive destination.
The hotel is a little dated but one of the best options for Livingston, with spacious, clean, air-conditioned rooms. All rooms are en suite with private balcony offering a panoramic view over the Rio Dulce and Amatique Bay. Service is friendly and the food in the hotel’s restaurant is wholesome.
The town itself has many shops and bars, and restaurants serving tasty Caribbean dishes. It is quite unlike the rest of Guatemala, resembling more its close neighbour, Belize.
Facilities
Free WiFi, bar, lounge, outdoor pool, air conditioning, room service, laundry service.
Optional Activities
Trip to 7 Altares - a small river flows into the sea passing through seven small natural pools that are good for a swim. It’s roughly 20 minutes by boat from Livingston. There are various sulphur springs along the river too.
Playa Blanca - White Beach is 45 minutes by boat from Livingston. Perfect to get away and relax, as the beach at Livingston is not good for swimming.

Area Specialist
To make the most of the location, it’s best to ask for beach front rooms or pool side rooms with a beach view.
