Coban Resorts - Reviews and Rates

After a little bout of sickness...ahem.. we said our final goodbyes to our adopted Guatemalan family: Sandi, Roberto, Gaby and Andre and the fishes (they had a great aquarium and named 2 angel fish Rebecca and Paul...altogether, ahh). We boarded the 4.30am bus to Guate City. This in itself was a little bit scary. The news has been full of bus dr...

Arriving in Coban after a longer than expected b*s journey, we were too lazy to do anything other than check into the first hostel we found even though, like the town itself, it was a bit rough around the edges. It didn't really matter though as we were only using Coban as a base to go see the nearby Semuc Champey and Grutas de Lanquin the next ...

The bus drama!! Was supposed to be picked up by a tour company, but alas it was over booked so we got stuck on public buses and dumped in Coban which i a shithole to put it politely!!Luckily we were with 2 girls from Chicago and one had guatemalan parents so was fluent in spanish....we ended up at a hotel built 400 years ago -and you could tell!...

Hello once again! Let me see what do I need to update you on... I am crossing my fingers right now as I write this, but my bed bugs seem to have died or disappeared since my bed was fumigated on Monday. No new bites the last few days! They even sprayed my suitcase for me and I took piece of clothing to the lavanderia to be washed. On Sunday I re...

Last weekend we went to see the '8th world wonder' Semuc Champey near Coban. It's beautiful and while you're swimming in one of the pools there you can't believe that this is all natural and not a fake paradise. The scenery was amazing, and after the way there I also know now how a cow must feel on top of a cattle transporter, because that's exa...

Laqua Rio Dulce is a small town on the South East corner that is the port for boat only trips to the city of Livingston. I did not venture there but at the backpacker hostel on the shore I heard many great tales about the relaxed lifestyle and beauty. The next morning I drove to Quiruga Ruins. Great for the well preserved Mayan carvings and quie...
