The setting was nice by the river. It was very kind of them to provide free drinking water, as it would be quite difficult to buy given its out of town location. Hammocks by the river were very nice.

“The most beautiful setting along the river! We loved it.”

The setting of the cabanas and the restaurant is spectacular! It feels very remote, like you are in the middle of nature. The property overlooks the river which has a very pretty turquoise color. It was very relaxing. The owner's brother helped us go for a kayak on the river - very friendly and helpful. We were able to swim from the deck, it was a great experience. The rope swing you see in the photos isn't there anymore. There is a current, but we didn't find it very strong (be careful - it might change depending on the time of the year?) The nearby town is a short walk away - try the French bakery (best to go in the morning when the selection is big). The excursion tour companies picked us up at the cabanas, even though it is out of town. It was a short drive to the temple, and about an hour drive to the cave tubing. The property is well maintained and the staff were very friendly.

“the best place for staying close to San Ignacio. Mike is making that place unBELIZEable”

great location, you feel like you're in the jungle. there is a great river where you can swim and also a jumping platform with a rope. If you want to go to San Ignacio you can catch a taxi right on the street. If I want to ever back to this region, it would be only to Cohune Palms River Cabanas. The owner Mike is very helpful and the conversation is like with a good friend.

“Beautiful spot”

A lovely spot directly on the river in a beautiful garden. I worried about mosquitoes but there were almost none, even eating breakfast and dinner on the riverside deck, spotting wildlife and relaxing. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Good meals.

“Good value low key clean accomodation in a great location for san ignacio”

Great location near San Ignacio- cheap taxi ride into town. The cabinas are clean and 'rustic'. We weren't able to use the river as it had rained too much, but I'd think it would be great for kids to jump and swim in during teh dry season. Mike and the staff were lovely and were able to offer great local advice. Has a family-feel to the ownership. Loved it here

“We loved our stay at cohune.”

Food was delicious and cooked to order, the staff accommodated a vegan diet and astutely picked up on likes and dislikes through our stay. The locations on the river was relaxing and much cooler than in town. We woke to the howler monkeys each morning and saw lots of birds and reptiles during our stay. The staff was incredibly accommodating and there for your every need from planning a day trip to pointing out monkeys traveling through the river so we could see them up close.

“Awesome! Amazing!”

Amazing place right by the river where you can swim. A hidden gem! You can have breakfast & dinner at their cosy restaurant where they serve meal. Family friendly! They have wild birds & monkeys and other rain forest critters that you can observe with the kids! We loved it and we will be back. Some simple stores and a bakery are 7min walk from the place. Awesome location for all the local tours! The staff there were like family! Cozy place! A must stay! My 6yrs old and a 10 year old loved it!

“Low value for money but the staff couldn’t have been better”

Big shoutout to Mario for being the welcoming party, entertainments and events secretary, receptionist/treasurer, and all round good company (and cards player). And for ensuring we got the best guide for the ATM Caves tour (Emil, at Bird Trekking Tours). Also to Kevin the chef for being extremely adaptable and accommodating regarding the menu. Loved the huts and lived that I didn’t feel the need for AC.

“There is something magical about the experience of this place.”

This is a very special place. Mike the owner says it has a special energy. For us it was a place of peace and harmony with nature. The sunrise over the river, go for a swim, in the morning mist with the sounds of the jungle - unbelievable! In the afternoon the howler monkeys roam the treetops over the small complex. Everything is laid out very sustainably and the fabulous cook spoiled us with local food and a breakfast of our choice. We'll be back - Mike, big hug! The whole staff always have a smile on their faces. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
