Julie and Gary were amazing hosts! They took the initiative, offering to book us tours (which turned out great) and showing us around town. They were also happy to offer us a cold drink and a chat on their lovely patio.
The cabana has a modern interior, is much more spacious than I anticipated and has a nice view of the river. There is a pathway from the river to the back of the compound, so it's possible to walk inner tubes upstream and float them back home.
The place is just a short walk (or $2.50 cab ride) from downtown San Ignacio but is surrounded by beautiful greenery. We will be sure to stay here again next time we're in San Ignacio.
