Did you check some of the on-line travel companies? When I looked the other day there were some. Another person is staying at San Carlo I think it was called and another one got into the Grand Tikal today. . .give those a try. Otherwise, keep calling, there's bound to be a cancellation - that's how we lucked out!

The Grand Tikal had rooms available as of earlier today and so did the San Carlos. Hope one of these works out for you!

Did you try calling the Hotel directly. Sometimes they actually do have rooms but the online form or 800 numbers don't show them.

Re; Hotel

We've stayed at the Grand Tikal twice and loved it! Try there!

Good luck!

Have you tried Travelocity or Expedia? The online companies usually buy up many of the rooms and will be available online.
