“If you can affort it, go for it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

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 - and the staff could not have been more acommodating. After my first day there I would only have to sit on the balcony and my coffee would be brought out without my even asking. They really do look after you here and it is tough to tear yourself away from all of the comforts to go "see" everything the lake has to offer.

Room Tip: I liked room 7 since it was upstairs a bit from the other rooms and had even better views of the lak...

“The perfect place to be at Atitlan lake, spectacular views over the lake.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

Beatiful decoration and sightseen over the Atitlan lake. It is strategically located to watch a fantastic sunset behind the vulcanos over the lake.
The room was fantastic, really big and well decorated, and with 2 private terraces included. We can see the lake from the bed.
The service and food were also excellent.
There are very few rooms, so it is really quite and peaceful.

“Amazing amazing amazing!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

A beautiful, intimate resort with gorgeous views of Lake Atitlan and a staff to match. Every request is handled swiftly and professionally at a moment's notice. Everyone was incredibly friendly and gracious. The hotel is wonderfully appointed, the decor is top notch, and the ambiance is relaxing and inviting. We didn't want to leave!

The food is fantastic and the kitchen is amenable to requests for dishes not on the menu.

Only visit if you like designer accomodations, relaxing under the sun or shade while looking across a glistening lake under clear blue skies, eating delicious food, and being surrounded by an attentive and friendly staff.

This was the highlight of our trip to Guatemala!

Room Tip: The Atitlan Suite is perched above the main house of the hotel. Beautiful room. Great shower. Gor...

“Be prepared to Fall In Love!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

We arrived by helicopter to the hotel helicopter pad. The staff was there to greet us and from the first moment, it was magical! The room with an incredible view of Lake Atitlan, the chef and restaurant of the highest quality, the management friendly and accommodating for tours of the villages! Highly recommend this beautiful and unique hotel. Superb service by each and every person on the property!

“The most wonderful romantic hotel at a reasonable price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

This small hotel overlooks the infamous with the most spectacular views possible, the rooms and overall look of the hotel is beautiful. I would recommend this place to anybody. You may not have a fancy rain shower like at a four seasons but you have the most beautiful shower overlooking the lake with a window view just as an example. The rooms, beds, special touches, views from the terraces, the food, restaurant, library are all decorated in the best of taste giving a special ambience to his wonderful place. my only recommendation is that upon check in they tell you there is room service or massages available (for example we asked last mintue and we had the most incredible massages in our room a half an hour later!)
