“I enjoyed staying at this place, one of many in Livingston, and it was a gentle stroll to the dock and town.”
The relaxed atmosphere. The knowledge and assistance of the manager. Provision of sandwiches to take away when leaving before breakfast on final morning.

It was a lovely building with great views and a nice pool. The boat for Rio Dulce picked us up from the hotel which was very handy!

“Nice Hotel close to the water with a pool.”
We had a very pleasant stay at the Delfin with our two small children. The highlight was the pool, which we used everyday. Breakfast was included and a great start for the day. (Regular options of eggs & beans, pancakes with sirup or toasts with jam). Our room had two large beds, private bathroom, AC and a ventilator which was very helpful as the weather is very humid and hot, even at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful with questions about what to do in Livingston and how to get there and even organized the pick up directly from the Hotel’s dock.

Giovanni provided great service.a d e an walked us to a restaurant we wanted to go to. The hotel walls are nicely decorated to reflect t the Caribbean and the Garifuna culture.

The best reason for staying here is the manager, Giovanni. He is a bilingual jewel. Great with arranging trips up the Rio Dulce but even more describing the history of the area.
