We stayed in this hotel for two nights whilst touring Guatemala and we found it very comfortable and clean in an ideal situation on the edge of Lake Atitlan. The balconies overlook the swimming pool, grounds and the lake. The gardens were full of flowers and many birds. Outside the hotel women were sitting on the pavement weaving and selling... More

The hotel is a combination of marvellous things: wonderful place, great service & hospitality, great food, lake Atitlan next to the hotel. A place to warmly recommend to anyone willing to visit lake Atitlan area.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay, friendly service, delightful location, beautiful grounds. Watched the pool guys cleaning the pool with meticulous care in the early morning. Bedrooms fairly basic but fine. Guess they're fighting a losing battle with volcanic dust!! On our first evening we ventured up the approach road to the village as the afternon school shift children were... More

I loved the hotel and what a setting when I looked outside in the morning following my evening arrival. The staff were very professional and extremely attentive nothing was too much trouble for them, I guess they made my visit even more special.

The room was nice, and the bathroom spacious, and the room was looking over a lovely swimming pool... and this is it. There is no restaurant/bar near by, and you have to dine in the expensive and american style restaurant. The food is reasonable, but this is not want you want to eat in Guatemala. If you want to reach... More

We thought the hotel was in a lovely setting with views across to the lake and volcanoes. The rooms were basic but comfortable although there was no safe. There was also no air con or ceiling fan which might be uncomfortable in hotter weather. The breakfast was basic with no buffet. The evening menu was also limited and of average... More

We have stayed several times at this hotel and like the beautiful setting close to the lake, very nice views of the lake and a very nice garden and a cosy restaurant with a fireplace. The rooms are clean and they serve a good breakfast. The staff is very friendly. It is a rather small hotel. Comfort is okay for... More

This hotel is beautiful and is rarely crowded. I thought the room rate of $105 which included breakfast and dinner was an excellent deal. The room was very spacious with a fireplace. There is a church next door that can be loud on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings but it didn't last long.
