OK, so we were torn between reserving at La Casa Del Mundo and Lomas De Tzununa, so we ended up staying at both. LCDM was our 1st stop on the lake. After reading previous reviews we requested room #12. We absolutely loved it. This is a large vaulted bungalow and is up the highest of all rooms. This is easily... more

this hotel and the location were phenomenal. My girlfriend and I spent our first full day in Guatemala here, and in all honesty, we both commented that we could have spent our entire vacation here and been perfectly content (but we didn't do that). The location is breathtaking- the approach via ferry left us both in awe. Staff is incredibly... more

My family spent 4 nights at the hotel and I can not find a single negative thing to say about the experience. We had four people in a large room ( #13) with views to die for! All of us enjoyed the food and the group dinners were especially fun as we met some wonderful travellers who we ended up... more

Our group of four stayed in Casa del Mundo for one night on 10 February 2009. We took a 20 minute launch (boat) from Panajachel for 20 Quetzales (under 3 USD) to get to the hotel (next to the village of Jaibalito.) The hotel is located on a steep hillside right on the shore of Lake Atitlán. We arrived on... more

I stayed here in October 2008 and now again in February 2009. The hotel is my favorite place in Guatemala...maybe even all of the places I have ever been to! The rooms are all individually cute and unique, decorated entirely of Mayan homespun textiles and local handicrafts, from different regions of Guatemala. Each has it's own personal charm and different... more

We stayed two nights at Casa del Mundo. Arriving by boat and seeing the hotel was quite exciting. We had a room with three beds on the same level as the restaurant and near the kitchen. It was a good location for us. It is a charming place and even though there are many steps and we were up and... more

We stayed at Casa del Mundo with another couple for 3 nights in November. From the moment the boat pulled up to the dock I knew we were in for a truly unique experience. The hotel is so beautiful and the grounds are well attended to. The stone terraces all around the grounds looking onto the lake are fantastic for... more

After spending a month in Guatemala in several different lodgings, this is the most comfortable place to stay. Our room had a wonderful view of the lake. The amazing structure Bill and Rosea created out of rock and mortar on the side of a sheer cliff is phenomenal. Their vision and ability to transform a seemingly unbuildable dwelling is commendable.... more

My wife and I stumbled upon La Casa on our first family trip after our wedding. The place's location, on a cliffside next to an the mayan village of El Jaibalito, with views of the three ethereal volcanoes (perfectly lined up) and a short boat ride away from the vibrant colors of contemporary Mayan Guatemala, did more than culminate a... more

There is no question that this is a special place, the lake view from the rooms is magnificent and very peaceful and the rooms are clean and cozy. But, since the place received such great reviews we expected more. The room was very small, the bathroom was extermely small and uncomfortable. The food at the restaurant was very good, but... more
