- Laura R26 contributionsMy husband and I were most impressed with the Santa Cruz Spanish School. The communications, price, and reception were all great, but above all the teachers were excellent. My teacher, Juana, a remarkable young woman from the local town, used a diverse range of teaching tools and techniques, which kept things fun and interesting. She was so patient with me and my awful pronunciation. In the beginning, I thought I wasn't advanced enough for a language school, but I was amazed how much I had learned by the end of the week. The school is located lakeside, and the beautiful views offered inspiration and respite. Combined with a stay a few minutes up the hill as Casa de Cameron (Panorama), it was the perfect place to do a language school.Written October 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chelsea RJohns Island, SC67 contributionsWe so enjoyed this experience! We learned how to cook a variety of delicious dishes with the support of one of the chefs, and were then served the dishes at a setting upstairs overlooking the lake. The food was delicious, the staff was excellent, and this is just an overall incredible organization to support. We also visited their restaurant for lunch one day overlooking the lake and loved it, and we bought some textiles from their shop. Everything they do is thoughtfully prepared and exectut with a focus on uplifting members of the local community.Written August 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sue KSaltspring Island5 contributionsExcellent massage in a low key lakeside setting. You can chill out in the hammocks and swim in the lake here too. The tours they offer are also excellent.Written November 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ccarney52Columbus, OH91 contributionsWe really enjoyed our stop at this store after a wonderful lunch at the culinary school upstairs. The textiles are so well made, and delicate. I bought several souvenirs at reasonable prices. The ladies who make the textiles are right there, so you can also watch them work. Well worth finding this place.Written March 10, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- saveri_12Miami, FL108 contributionsWe had an excellent private tour with Alex to San Juan La Laguna on Lake Atitlan. The tour on a Tuesday was arranged on the Sunday afternoon before via Whatsapp. We had a payment link by Monday morning. And the information that Alex our guide would actually meet us at our hotel in Panajachel (an added bonus, since we thought we would be meeting the guide in San Juan) was provided by Monday afternoon. Our interest was in exploring Maya culture. Alex was Mayan himself and was a fund of information as we explored San Juan extensively. We could not have been happier with our experience overall and had Alex to thank for it.Written March 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kevin TNew York City, NY149 contributionsI like deep tissue massage. Mine was great. Arrive early. Be prepared to walk up stairs that may leave you winded before your therapy.Written February 19, 2012This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emily BDes Moines, IA1 contributionWhile at a yoga retreat at Lake Atitlan, a few of us hired Pedro, a local birdwatching guide. He was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable and lightning quick at spotting birds. He could identify by sound or quick flyover, and in no time had his scope set up so we could view it up close. I loved how excited he got over every bird! He was kind and gracious to answer all of our questions. We learned he owns Voltan Adventures, so we asked if we could hire him again another day. Two days later, we went birdwatching with his brother, Isaias, at Los Tarrales Natural Reserve. Everything was arranged for us, from the private boat to the private shuttle. Isaias was equally incredible at birdwatching and sent us the list of observed birds so we could easily enter them into eBird. Because of these two wonderful guides, I was able to log 92 species in 6 days -- 70 of which were lifers to me! I cannot recommend Voltan Adventures enough!!Written November 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rachel M2 contributionsI was in Guatamala last month and booked a personal Shaman Reading. I cant say enough good things about how amazingly accommodating they were with my very last min request. The Shaman and guide came to my hotel to provide the reading. Communication throughout the booking was fantastic and the experience itself was amazing. Both the guide and the Shaman were such warm kind people. Hands down one of my favorite experiences during my trip to Guatamala.Written May 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jan EBradenton, FL38 contributionsWe went to Guatemala for a Guatemala experience! So having lunch with a Guatemala family was an awesome experience for us. We are very adventures and love to do something very different. If you don't like different and an adventure, then I would suggest you don't experience this. I also want to mention this because it is also a good hike. We did fine, and we are not young!! So I thank the tour company for offering this awesome experience!! We sure enjoyed every moment of it.Written May 4, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
