We chose this place to be on the lake and near Tikal. The desk people were nice enough, but the place needs a major facelift. The furniture in the room was very old and shabby. The beds were old and not real comfortable. Unfortunately the room was not real clean, I think due to the age of the furniture. The shower and hot water was great. The guide book I read said the restaurant was open for 2 or 3 meals, I forget, but actually it only served breakfast. There was internet service which was nice considering how remote the area is. The best thing about it was the very nice view of Lago Petenetza and the price.

“Great value for money”

A great hotel and great value for money. We had a lovely view over the lake and it's only a 10 minute ride to the airport. The staff were very helpful and welcoming.

Flores is just a place to stay because you go visiting Tikal. Take a hotel near the entrance of Tikal. And if you need to stay an extra night, stay in Flores. Nothing special, neither Flores or the Villa del Lago. But just OK. A bed, a shower, an airco.
And a nice breakfast.
It's on the island itself, inspite of the other review here (which is probably about Peten Esplendido). Villa del Lago has a nice view to the east, over the lake.

Fairly new hotel with nice facilities. Much more modern/ updated than I had come to expect in Guatemala. Great pool, you can enjoy your breakfast outside or in the dining room overlooking the water.

Our room was spacious with two double beds, tile floor and bathroom with nice shower. Could have easily added another fold away bed in the room.

Breakfast buffet was very nice with good assortment of eggs, sausages, pancakes etc. The staff was attentive although I don't think anyone spoke english so have your phrase book with you if you need it.

Hotel is not actually on the island of Flores -- which had more ambiance, but is also more crowded. Villa del Lago is just across the bridge, right on the water. Back of the hotel looks directly towards the island so it is a nice view. Back deck & pool areas are lovely, be sure to take some time to relax out there. My only complaint: I noticed food crumbs on the stairs & deck area and dishes left lying around the tables for too long, didn't seem like anyone was keeping an eye on the area in the afternoon.

You can catch a little golf cart taxi to the island of Flores easily, but the walk to the island is not long, maybe 15 mins max. We had a nice stroll back to the hotel after dinner on the island.

Given the varying degrees of accomodations in latin america, I would definitely opt to stay here again. The hotel had all the basics covered very well.
