Nice little town on a small islands, the water level of the lake varies so parts of town are inundated. Waking up in the morning you hear the howler moneyks, very special. Do go and visit Tikal, it made me so happy to see that there is so much intact rainforest left and the rangers take good care of it. But be prepared that it will be very, very, very hot and humid!

Flores is a charming little city with great restaurants and hostels and a few cute boutique (but not fancy) hotels. Most people just fly up for the day, but there is a lot todo in the area and it’s really worth staying for 3-4 days. We recommend getting a private lancha boat for $50 for a half day for your group and touring the very large lake. You can see a wildlife refuge, short hike to a viewing point, and island with a cool museum, and several small lakeside towns in this amount of time. Crater Azul and the Actun Ha caves are also cool. Flores has great cheap restaurants including Los Amigos, Terrazzo, Maple y Ticino, and Maravuya.

Separate room units a little walking distance from front desk and restaurant but the rooms were spacious and very nice and clean. I liked having a phone in the room for assistance. The view was lovely from the room. Shuttle service a plus. Restaurant clean and good food choices but I wouldn't order beef dishes again tough to eat! Pool water too cold for me! Nice service.

Flores is the best place to stay outside of Guatemala city to see most of the touristic attractions. Excursions to all of the monuments in Peten region are possible from the hotels or many small agencies in the town, as well as transfers to Palenque, Belize, and Lake Atitlan.

The area of Flores is lovely and fun to explore. It is not a large area so if you are looking for days of exploring you need to go elsewhere. If you are looking for a relaxed, yet charming, few days then this is where to go.

Beautiful little island, very lively! The bright colors of the building and the nice sunset views by the water are a great + to this place, and it is very easy to get around I recommend trying out the street food @tacospeches, very good and super cheap The town is located 1h30 drive from the ruins of Tikal, and up to 6 shuttles leave daily to get you there Would recommend around 3 days in Flores!
