On request he will take small groups on his legendary tarantula tour. It feels safe and has been a great place to stay over the past six years for me and several of my friends. Tikal is well worth any expense, but with the low cost of lodging and the ease of jet service to Flores, this makes for a great place to visit. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. David's wife, Rosita Kuhn, is an excellent cook and provides box lunches for picnics at Tikal.
All hotel rooms have fans and breezes off the lake make most nights very pleasant.
There is also a large gazebo with hammocks in the back yard of the hotel. Daily flights from Miami, Belize, Cancun, Guatemala City, etc. The best is Linea Dorada and Second Choice is Fuente Del Norte. From Flores or Santa Elena, follow the signs to Tikal. About thirty kilometers from Flores or one mile past the intersection with the road to the Belize border, you will enter the wood carving village of El Remate.
