This is one of the best hotels in Guatemala and very likely the best at lake Atitlan. The rooms are large, with terraces overlooking the lake thus stunning views, fantastic! The LÓccitane soaps are a nice surprise. The hotel was long ago a big house and it keeps that charm, with its living room (with a real Botero picture!!!), chimmeny,... More

Very nice and friendly hotel with amazing views over the lake. Being so small it is very peaceful and perfect for couples. It is a little way from Panajachel but we found it a nice escape from the town. Breakfast was very tasty and loved the margaritas!

We were invited to stay at a great hotel near Casa Palopo and decided to go there for dinner. A popular guide book said it was one of the best restaurants on Lake Atitlan, and I definitely would agree. the ambience was amazing, the service top rate and the food was delicious. Even better, it was not outrageously expensive. Considering... More

This is a review of the restaurant only. Our villa recommended we come here for a sunset cocktail at a minimum, dinner if we would like. We opted to do both and we feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity on such a stunning evening. The weather was perfect - crystal clear skies and mild winds. All I needed... More

The views from the terrace and restaurant or spectacular. The common areas are beautiful. I wanted to love this hotel more, but it fell short of its reputation. Although the included breakfast was very good, the dinners were overpriced and over-reaching. Rather than sticking to delicious Guatemalan cuisine, the restaurant prepared continental dishes, always missing the mark. Unfortunately, the hotel... More

This place was beautiful. You are greeted with quirky yet elegant fixtures upon walking into the lobby... The lobby is homey and not stuffy by any means... It is fun just to walk around and look at the decor ( ie: antique sewing machines made into floor lamps etc..) the colors are soothing and happy colors. I am all about... More

Lake Atitlan has the reputation for being one of the most beautiful lakes in the world -- and it lives up to its reputation. Casa Palopo nestles into a hill above the lake far enough from even the small town in which it is located that it creates an environment of great serenity. Its best feature is its large terrace...

February 2013 we arrived straight from a lovely hotel in Antigua but nothing prepared us for this wonderful hotel. We had room six, extremely comfortable, excellent linen and a great shower. We had a balcony and a private terrace with exceedingly comfortable chairs. However a great plus of this hotel is the charming outdoor terrace and the very cosy drawing... More

We took the trip to Lake Atitlan for our first wedding anniversary. We stayed at Casa Palopo. They have limited customers and they take really good care of the people staying there.The place is beautiful, the customer service is awesome. The views from the rooms are breath-taking. The lake itself is a beautiful place to be at. They have massages... More

My husband and I LOVED this hotel. It is located on a perfect part of the shore which afforded the best views of the lake. Just sitting on the balcony every morning taking in the sunrise and then in the afternoon for the sunset was something not to be missed. The decor is a huge plus - so thoughtfully done... More
