Mike’s Place has been affected pretty bad by a flood early this year of 2022, so the nearby restaurant and most of the activities have ceased operations. Only the access to the Baton Creek Cave with kayaks and guides remains operational. But this is worth just the trip by itself, fantastic experience.
The house itself was clean enough for such a remote place, kitchen worked, fresh linens and decent mattresses. Lot of space if you book the whole amenity (but kitchen will be limited) and the patio with view onto the lively garden and the jungle is a treat.
- Bring your own food, even if Mike’s Place restaurant at the village (7miles-El Progresso) is great, it is far away if the direct steep road is not drivable.
- Have a high clearance 4WD car anyway. We had to rely on the river crossings road and it was raining. Make sure you know the conditions.
The best for the end, our friendly hosts (Sucely, Eden and Tony) were warm and very welcoming. We will always remember them.
