This was a beautiful hotel and most of the people were very friendly and helpful (except for the women at the front desk who seemed to think that we were meant to wait on them). The food is excellent and fresh, especially the breakfasts and the chicken vegetable soup. As tea lovers, we enjoyed the wide selection of gourmet blends.... more

THE place to stay if going to Lake Atitlan. Clean, comfortable rooms... beautiful grounds, and the view of the mountains and lake can't even be described. Food is great, service excellent. Take a walk down the road to the zip lines.. great hike up the mountain.. and zip down... what a rush that was! more

Comfortable and welcoming. We... more
