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

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Guatemala. We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Atitlan for four nights. It is THE perfect place to stay, with the most fantastic view from your bedrooms terrace. You could just spent hours gazing at the ever changing cloud formations by the Lake and Volcanos. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the... more

we spent approx 1 wk in Guatemala, traveled throughout the country-loved it. This hotel was our idea of near perfection on a trip. The place has always been locally owned, expansive, yet quaint, lush, yet casual landscaping, most plants are identified. There are several huge cages with birds etc. Furnished with all locally made furniture, hand carved, beautiful textiles. Family... more

Comfortable and welcoming. We... more

Having read reviews about Pananjachel we decided to stay at the Hotel Atitlan to see the area. As it turns out this Hotel was the low point of our Guatemalan vacation. The Hotel was build over 38 years ago, and it shows. There have been no updates, the rooms are dark and musty, and the overall ambiance is one of... more
