Cohune Palms River Cabanas — Hotel in Bullet Tree Falls

Most of the hotels in San Ignacio are away from the center of town and sometimes pretty far away. The Cohune Palms is also out of town but not a long drive to go back to restaurants or shops. Of course it's setting feels so different from the town, in a good way. One needs to know that it has a more rustic feel than some of the higher priced places, but that is what we came for. No televisions, A/C, etc. However, they have fans in the rooms and even though I was worried about the heat my worries were unfounded as it cools off well at night and the location makes it cool during the day.

Cohune Palms really has a lot going for it. The property is truly beautiful , nestled in the middle of the jungle, with access to the river and animals roaming during the day.
