Utopia Eco Hotel

We're located about 285 Km from Guatemala City. 11 Km from Lanquin and in the Valley of Semuc Champey approx. 3.5 Km from Semuc Champey National Park, one of Guatemala’s hidden treasures. We have about 220 meters of River Frontage along the Cahabón River.
Here is where you will be able to do as much or as little as you like. We are a Family Friendly, Dog Friendly Eco Hotel with a vegetarian Restaurant. Situated on the Cahabón River, which is great for tubing or just relaxing on one of the large river rocks or take a short stroll down the path to the big swimming hole. You will find your home away from home nestled amongst exotic flora and fauna with at least 90 different species of birds to watch while your strolling along the many paths that have been cut though the wild flowers, coffee and cocoa trees. Utopia offers unique natural lodge style accommodation with custom one of a kind art work and furnishing.

You will be living in a remote place in the jungle with a handful of other volunteers, the management and a dozen local workers from the surrounding mayan villages. The atmosphere between the staff is very familiar. Every volunteer gets the chance to put his ideas into the steadily growing Utopia. You can put yourself into it as much or as little as you like. Feel free to participate in gardening, yoga, sports, hiking and many more...

Utopia is a little paradise in the jungle :)
I feltl immediately comfortable, after 2 days I had the feeling it was already weeks I was there :p
The work is pretty simple and chill, you quickly get what's need to be done and the rest is just fun and human contact :)
Family vibe ++++, that's one the best thing about this place ! You can really feel like home away from home with the other volunteers, the managers (except for Jack ! 😉 Haha kidding ! Best volunteer manager with Josie !) and of course Pia and Raquel ❤️
Thank you for everything guys !!!

The manager showed me around when I arrived because the host was away for business. However, when the host arrived the following week, she was warm and friendly; I was pleased I chose Utopia. The views were spectacular, and the other volunteers had very similar personalities, so it was easy to get along with everyone.
The location is very safe, and the locals are kind and welcoming. It is a great place to be.

Utopia was an amazing experience for me! Everything about the place is incredible, the location, food, people and more.
The job is simple, basic bar and serving plus reception for a small hotel/hostel kind of vibe. Great hours and great guests means it doesn't feel like work at all. Just living in the jungle with fun and productive days.
If that sounds good to you I highly recommend you checking it out. I know I definitely plan on coming back myself!

I had an amazing time at Utopia, the hotel is surrounded by nature and has amazing views of the landscape. The work was fair and balanced and the other volunteers really made the experience! Can’t wait to return again and help out the team at Utopia ♥️
