Caribbean Coast
A small family-run operation, Brisas is humble and charming, offering clean, simple cabins on the lakefront and good home-cooked meals in the restaurant. It's on the north side of Lago de Izabal, between El Estor and San Felipe.
This spot is on the Río Dulce–El Estor bus route, about one hour (Q15) from Río Dulce and 30 minutes (Q10) from El Estor. The last bus in either direction passes at around 4:30pm to 5pm.
