I was there in april 2013 and an austrian friend of mine visited the hotel at march 4. 2013. She posted on Facebook and she... More

Ive travelled Guatemala for 2 months and Monte Rico isn't a place worthy of a visit. it looks like a town that has had a tourism boom in the eighties and hasnt done anything since. It is a run down place. The prices however are the highest I encountered anywhere in Guatemala. Food costs 60-100 Quetzals and for that kind... More

Tripadvisor is a good medium for people to get an idea of what experiences guests may have had at a destination or Hotel. Unfortunately it also gives a platform to people who for some reason or another do like to ventilate their personal frustration, although not justified, as in this case, as anyone can see reeding other opinions about Cafe...

We spent a couple of nights in there, but this was by far the nicest place we found in town. We tried Hotel brisas del mar, but that was "on the edge" and noisy due to other people late at night. So cafe del sol was a great place which we would recommend! It was clean, quiet, well decorated. The... More

My husband and I stayed here during a recent trip to Monterrico. The staff was very friendly, as was the owner, Thomas, who made every effort to make our stay comfortable. We opted for a room without a/c; it sometimes got a little too hot at night, so a/c might be preferable for some. Great pool, lovely setting!

While staying at another hotel, we went to Cafe del Sol for dinner and were very impressed. Beautiful architecture and friendly staff greet you at the entrance and then the view draws you in. A large, airy space has local art and crafts, comfortable tables and chairs (even in the unroofed area) and attractive place settings. The food was the... More

My husband and I just spent a couple of nights at Cafe Del Sol. The bed was comfortable, and we sprung for the AC since we're not used to sleeping in a warm, humid climate. We're currently living in Guatemala City and we didn't realize how hot it would be at the beach, even in September! Even in the wind,... More

I stayed at Hotel Cafe Del Sol in Jan of 2012 and greatly enjoyed my time at this hotel. The rooms were well appointed and comfortable (and reasonably priced), the staff more than helpful (especially given my limited Spanish), and the food and atmosphere wonderful.

Cafe del sol is a little and simple hotel at the beach, but is pure fun. They have clean rooms with and without ac, a pool and a jaccuzzi and a terrasse on the beach. Stuff is friendly, food is good and the prices are reasonable. If you are a good swimmer you can jump in the waves, or you... More

I recently vacationed solo in Monterrico and fell in love with the town and the people. It is a laid back beach town vibe and not for everyone but if you want to really relax go during the week. During the weekend it is very busy. I managed to book in when there was a wedding. The hotel staff did... More
