I will second what Essiedot said. Mopan was great! I was there a few years ago, under the old ownership, but a friend from Tripadvisor, who I reco'd it to and went a couple of years ago said it was still great.

Having where I was going each day dictated to me wasnt a problem because I knew the area well, and picked the place because every excursion sounded excellent. I had already been to Tikal, but it was worth going a 2nd time. They may be able to be slightly flexible about trips they do multiple times in a week, but trips like Tikal or Caracol are only done once a week, so you have to go when theyre scheduled.

You might see some old negative reviews about barking dogs and evangelical churches broadcasting, but it wasnt that bad. It's a real town across the river and you get the positives and negatives of that.
