This is one of those rare places where you arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. Set up by a British woman and her American husband who´ve been in Guatemala for over a decade, you´ll meet some interrsting expats and visitors. They have both dorm and more upscale accomodation. They hire outgoing travellers willing to work a minimum... more

We stayed here for one night during our trip to Guatemala. It is really beautiful. Their communal dinner was awesome. This place is very relaxing. I would recommend atleast a couple of days to just chill and get to know the place. This is a good place to explore the lake as well. more

We had an excellent stay in La Iguana Perdida. The property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Be sure to sign up for at least one dinner at La Iguana. The food is delicous and it will give you a chance to meet other travellers during the family style dinner. Lake Atitlan had some problems with an algae... more

Had the most splendid weekend getaway from Antigua this last weekend at la Iguana. The employees are great, the atmosphere super, the food as well - not to mention the views. The place has a real backpacker's atmosphere and it is a great place to meet other travelers. The Saturday night party is a blast! more

My husband and I stayed in the large private room over the main lodge -... more

I was there for 8 nights, and although there were many other options for accomodations on the lake, I felt no reason to stay anywhere else! The hostel was large and beautiful, with gardens along all the paths. In all my time at Lago de Atitlan, I always had the most fun when I was at the hostel. I got... more

This place is awesome -- it attracts a wide range of travelers from all over the world and welcomes them with a comfortable, laid-back community atmosphere. I felt completely at home, met people easily, and was able to get my questions answered without any problems. The food is delicious, the location is convenient and idyllic, and the Saturday night party... more

We headed to La Iguana Perdida not expecting much, as we have been to Lake Atitlan before and had some accommodations that were less than satisfactory. We were blown away by the beauty of Iguana Perdida. Situated directly on the lake, they offer diving school, yoga, and massage. There are lovely hammocks on the deck for napping and gazing at... more
