We had a rental car and planned to visit the ruins at Xunantunich and Corocal , and Melodies place was a good location for these and the ATM cave. Our cabin was large with everything we needed, the deck was beautiful and we sat out early in the morning and also in the evening enjoying the peaceful rural setting and there were no mosquitoes or bugs at all when we were there in February. We loved this place and would highly recommend it.
