Chichicastenango (photo by Gabrideica)
Chichicastenango is a town in the Western Highlands region, located on the crests of mountaintops about 87 miles (140 km) northwest of Guatemala City.
Located at an altitude of about 6,660 feet (2000 m), it has a much milder climate than Guatamala’s lowland areas. The surrounding mountains and valleys add to its natural appeal.
Chichicastenango is best known for its colorful markets (held on Thursdays and Sundays) where indigenous people come from all over the surrounding region, as well as its own traditional Mayan culture. Travelers consider it one of the best places to find traditional Mayan textiles.

Overall Atmosphere: Combination

Combination Atmosphere destinations combine elements of both cultural and natural destinations, where this combination is itself essential to the travel experience. Common examples are Archaeological Sites (where culture is usually experienced outdoors), Scenic Local Markets (where indigenous cultures interact outdoors), Hotsprings and Vineyard Areas (where nature provides the raw materials but humans create the surroundings), and Unique Cultural Landscapes (where humans and nature interact in innovative ways, as in the elaborate rice terracing systems of Asia).
Combination Interests typically fall somewhere in the middle of the three types of primary interests in terms of
(a) how climate-dependent they are
(b) how accessible and physically demanding they are.

Hotel y Restaurante Playa LindaHotel y Restaurante Playa Linda![]() $7 GUEST REVIEWSAmazing, friendly, family run place. Perfect location - not too close to the party town but ideal if you want to swim in the lake or hike the volcano. Great value food available. The staff here are wonderful. First of all, I liked the location being not in town but about 1 km away of noisy downtown center. My room had a queen size bed, a table and chair and a TV with 2-3 English channels, I shared the always clean bathroom with 2 other rooms. In front of my room was a cozy little garden with table and chairs and 3 hammocks. The beach was only 3 min. walking distance and I swam every day. Breakfast was either typical toast, eggs, refried beans and a fried banana oder pancakes with fruit, and tea or coffee ( the later a bit thin...). The hotel is managed by very friendly only Spanish speaking staff, and the owner speaks some English. It was a very calm, friendly atmosphere Locally/family owned, the owners are amazing! Such kind souls and very helpful. The actual property is amazing value for the money and includes a delicious breakfast. There are slightly cheaper options in town, but with the inclusion of breakfast this is the best value. It is fortunately about a ten minute walk from the main strip (15-20 if you're not athletic, or a 5-10Q Taxi Ride) which is nice because the main strip is full of noise pollution and drunks. It is set back from the road and right near the lake, only sounds come from nature. Room was good size and Queen size bed was comfy. Can't say enough about this property and it's owners, can't miss! Possibly my favourite hotel experience in all of Central America. I am a hospitality professional and have worked in 5 star resorts so I know what I am talking about! The breakfast was amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful! Hostel Playa Linda is run by a very friendly and welcoming family who have built lovely rooms in their back garden. The place is a walk away from the Pana dock but the signage to find the hostel from the main road is big and clear. Once you know the way there is nicer walk into town by the river shore. The rooms we stayed in were excellent value for money. We ate a great lunch and the restaurant and enjoyed substantial breakfasts there too. We also took full advantage of the carefully tended garden, lazing around in the hammocks and enjoying the peace and quiet which came with a little distance from town. Highly recommended. Great view and position. Really calm and nature. The food was great you have the view directly to the lake. The staff is amazing. Highly recommended. The center of San Pedro can be quite loud and dirty. Getting to Playa Linda is like stepping into an oasis sheltered for the outside chaos. Quiet and relaxing place, very green and amazing hosts. Best wifi I found in Guatemala as well and hammocks are amazing Great little place to get away from it all. Place is not obvious when you get there, but it is truly lovely, with direct access to the locals version of the lake. Staff is really friendly. We loved our stay at Hotel y Restaurante Playa Linda! The family are just the nicest people you'll ever meet, even in a country full of them as Guatemala is! We felt so welcome during our time there, our room was spacious, clean and had the comfortable bed I've slept in in Central America yet! Breakfast was plentiful and tasty and the hotel was only a leisurely 15min stroll close to the waterfront into the centre of town. So excellent location for seeing everything yet getting some peace and quiet from all the noise of San Pedro. The hotel is well signposted from the main street, so very easy to find. We would love to go back there again next time we're in Guatemala, thank you for such a wonderful time! The hotel is run by a family of which all members were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was cooked by the family and was very delicious and cheap. Breakfast was included. The room we stayed in was simple and the beds comfortable. There are a couple hammocks in the garden and other outside chill areas. I can only recommend staying at this hotel if you are looking for a quiet place to stay in San Pedro. | $7 | 8.9 |

Hotel El SolHotel El Sol![]() $9 GUEST REVIEWSThe hotel is wonderful, so clean, quiet and comfortable. The dorm is spacious and has curtains so you feel like you have a private room. The hotel has a big kitchen with everything you need and many seating areas The beds were comfortable, the wifi was good. Having a kitchen to use was very nice. Beds and pillows are wonderful, very comfy. Staff so friendly and helpful. I was here in 2014 and came back because I loved the place. It's always as great! Absolutely evrything is good in my opinion. The location a little away from the city makes it super calm. The lake beach is very close. And it's nice to walk in 10 minutes to the center. The staff is really helpfull and is always ready to advise you if needed. The hotel is extremely clean. There is a lot of space in the rooms, the beds are comfortable and there are big windows for light. You can enjoy big common areas, big kitchen, big garden and meet people while drinking a coffee or cooking! The wifi is very efficient everywhere. You even receive free coffee. I think the price is great and the quality excellent. And there is so much to do: the market, other villages around, hikes, mayan communities...I stayed longer than planned to enjoy it more! Helpful staff! Stayed in the bunk room and got exactly what we expected with zero complaints. Great Wifi with no deadspots. We didn't have a padlock for our locker but the owner lent us one for our stay in Panajachel. The hostel was impeccably clean, and as a bonus the bakery down the street has tasty and cheap baked goods to snack on. Optimal concerning all matters. Use Kitchen, hot shower, free coffee, laundry, High standard. The hotel was amazing, we had a really good time there. The hotel and the rooms are nice, they are well furnitured, comfortable and clean. The staff was really friendly as well. There is a kitchen and a terraces that you can use as well as areas in every floor with sofas and tables to hang out. very comfortable,clean,big kitchen,good wifi,helpfull staff,I even liked the walk,From few days, I finally stayed 2 weeks.Thank you! Very nice and accommodating owner who went the extra mile for us! Great budget value! Clean and cheerful rooms-spacious.

A bit out of the town but quiet at night and easy access by foot or tuk tuk to the center. | $9 | 8.7 |
Hotel Utz JayHotel Utz Jay![]() $25 GUEST REVIEWSLocation was excellent. Great staff. Clean rooms. Great service I like this hotel because it is close to the hustle and bustle of Panajachel but set a block off on a quiet side street. The staff where excellent, rooms cleaned daily, a colorful garden between the room areas and a safe environment. It was convenient to eat breakfast there. The food was tasty and varied and the coffee was great! They did laundry and I stored items in their bodega for a reasonable price. I extended my stay because I enjoyed myself so much. Nice sized rooms , comfy bed, lovely garden , good food , friendly and helpful staff and owner . Loved the Mayan sauna. This was the third time I returned to Utz Jay. Very beautiful hotel with small cottage-type rooms and lovely gardens. I had a brand new room which was exceptionally nice! Quiet, calm setting. Breakfast is served at 7 AM and was very good. I had the ham and cheese omelet with refried beans, toast, orange juice and coffee. Wonderful young man who waited on me and the lady at the front desk was warm and friendly. Perfect location. Close to dock, restaurants and shopping yet a block out from center so it was very quiet. Room was very comfortable, clean and nice. Priced well. We were on the move a lot before and were looking to relax in a nice room for a few nights and this was perfect. TV had a great channel selection for movies. We rented the sauna as well. The location was Central without being noisy. Extremely. Lean rooms and restaurant. Prompt laundry. Friendly and courteous staff. We had an upstairs room with windows lining two walls, all of which opened for a cross breeze. Generous sized rooms and bathroom. Breakfast was delicious with help yourself coffee. Rm # 6 is decorated with great art, tiled bath and original brick walls from old days as the laundry. Love this quiet and friendly place with many wild birds in the center of town. Breakfast is the best with the friendliest people in a wonderful setting. This was my 5 time to stay here. Great place, close to everything but not in the middle Utz Jay was perfect for us! The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the location is very convenient! It was easy to walk to the Main Street in Pana, as well as walk to the dock to catch the boats to visit the other towns on the lake. The breakfast on site is delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful! Very friendly staff and close to the lake walking distance. We enjoyed the most delicious breakfast along with endless coffee. The market was also very close to the hotel. Definitely staying here again. Room was very cozy and nice size. | $25 | 8.5 |
Hotel Don PascualHotel Don Pascual![]() $11 GUEST REVIEWSNice large room, all new with comfortable bed. The bathroom had all new furnishings.
It is a little oasis in amongst unfinished lots, in a quiet location with a 5 minute walk to the restaurants. The staff were lovely and eager to please. Quiet place off main road. Family run. Nice garden. Cheap and clean guesthouse. Don't let Google maps fool you, you can turn right after you exit the boat and walk to the guesthouse. For the location it's a nice, comfortable room. It has the basics, a bed, fans and generally clean common areas. You shouldn't expect too much but that's the reason you're the Lago in any case. Very friendly and helpful staff, spoke some of the best English I've encountered in Guatemala Great value for the money Close to town but away from the party atmosphere of the hostels El personal fue muy atento y la habitación era muy cómoda y genial L'hôtel est à 2 pas du centre ville à pied. Très bon accueil et joli cadre avec de la verdure devant les chambres. Connexion wifi correcte, bonne literie et c'était propre. Un peu excentré mais pas loindu tout du centre, chambre propre avec tv et un super rapport qualité prix Die Unterkunft ist blitzsauber mit kleinem Gärtchen und Blick auf den See. Es gibt sogar warmes Wasser und auf Wunsch bekamen wir eine Kaffeemaschine. Antoni gibt freundlich Empfehlungen und Auskunft über Transportmöglichkeiten. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut erfreulich. Hotel calme et très confortable, le personnel est très accueuillant et disponible. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. | $11 | 8.4 |
Hotel Cabaña del ArcoHotel Cabaña del Arco![]() $24 GUEST REVIEWSBirds tweeting, watching the lights of pueblos across the lake at night, helpful happy staff glad to see you. 1 km walk from tourist center of town or easy to get a tuk tuk for about $1 usd. They have a restaurant if you want to eat at home, a 2 person kayak for free. Watch people picking onions between your bedroom window and the lake, ladies washing in the lake. I spent a relaxing week in San Pedro reading, drawing, eating and doing yoga. Amazing staff, beautiful room, nice location (15 minutes walk to town) A wonderful, small hotel a short tuk-tuk (Q10 tops) from San Pedro. Private access to the lake, orange and avocado trees in the backyard, beautiful view from every room. The staff is outstanding. Carlos, Rafa, Pedro, and Tula are so welcoming that by the end of my stay they are family. I look forward to returning. The staff were very friendly and professional. The patio was a great spot for breakfast and sunrise, with a beautiful view of the lake. I personally liked the location, being outside of town a bit. San Pedro is a bit of a party town, so being outside of town meant quiet nights and no bustle! And again, wonderful staff! The staff at Cabaña del Arco were amazing! Carlos and his mother met us on the road when we first arrived and allowed us to store our luggage prior to check in. The hotel is quaint and beautiful with well appointed rooms and shared spaces. It is located just outside the village of San Pedro but close enough to walk/tuktuk anywhere in town. We enjoyed our stay very much! The view was beautiful. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good if not quite amazing. The breakfast area was beautiful. They had access to the beach and a kayak to use, which was very fun. It was out of town so it was very quiet. It was a pleasant walk to town by day. Was a bit out of town so away from bar noise although only $1,30 tuk tuk to town. large room, good breakfast, reliable wifi, great Lake view. Kayaks available The place was great. The rooms have beautiful views. Nice location outside of town. Staff were excellent, really lovely people- always there to help. Rooms very spacious. Great views. There was a lack of amenities but I liked that we were helped and provided with what we needed. Also there was wifi up until the exterior of the hostal near the lake which was nice. The area is really nice and a great place to relax near Lake Atitlan. | $24 | 8.3 |
Free Cerveza Eco x Fun LodgeFree Cerveza Eco x Fun Lodge![]() $8 GUEST REVIEWSThis hotel has a very cool concept that I really enjoyed. The best part was jumping in the lake right when I woke up. The breakfast was surprisingly really good even though it was free?
The staff was cool and very attentive at dinner!
I wish I could have stayed a couple more days, but I had a flight to catch...bummer.
Maybe hammocks would be a good addition to the massive terrace on the lake? what a great idea. Camping within and eco lodge on the lake and being with fellow backpackers! I truly enjoyed the stay! Beautiful place and set up. Great staff and place for relax: INCREDIBLE view Full recomended gambling New and well-thought out hostel that I had a hard time leaving. Waking up to awesome views of both volcanoes from our tent was a treat,communal meals with generous amounts of (what else) free beer were delicious, and staff was professional grade. Incredible place overall. 100% recommended. This hostel extremely exceeded my expectations. Since it was only open a couple weeks, we weren't expecting much, but it was awesome! The tent was more spacious than I expected - plenty of room for a couple. The bathrooms are shared and were amazing - we always had HOT showers (kinda rare at the lake) and the toilets were just fine. The common area was great, we met so many awesome and wonderful people!!! We paid Q40 (about $6 USD) for 7am yoga - and it was maybe one of the best classes I have ever been to (I go to yoga regularly at home in Colorado)! Also, I read reviews that the optional dinner wasn't good - don't believe them! It was three courses, including a soup + main course + dessert and included free unlimited beer for a whole hour - best deal of the trip. Additionally, they keep a running tab of all your purchases (beer, snacks, kayak rental, etc) so you only have to pay once when you check out (they prefer cash as an FYI). We can't wait to come back!!!! Beautiful Spot in Santa Cruz with outstanding views and good Atmosphere. Don't get confused by the stupid Name, it's not a party Hostel. The Tents are comfy and i would always prefer them to normal dorm rooms. Great views of the lake, a delicious breakfast is included, best hot showers, great lounging area and liked the idea of sleeping outdoors. Great place for napping, really. It is a very good place to enjoy the lake of Amatitlán, The staff that we attended were very good and attentive, the food is not the best, the view and the ecologic environment make the place excellent. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was cool. The showers were hot. Great times! The staff was so cool..felt like being At my friends house! Loved the vibe..coming back when heading north again :) | $8 | 8.2 |

Auch ein spätes Frühstück (nach unserer Vulkantour) war kein Problem. Das angeschlossene Restaurant ist sehr empfehlenswert. Mangotenango und Spaghetti Carbonara waren erstklassig. Gut gelegenes Hotel mit einer riesen Terrasse vor dem Zimmer (ich war im obersten Stock). Leckeres Frühstück. Sehr nettes Personal. Das Frühstück war klasse und die Angestellten waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. El personal del mostrador fue muy amable siempre y el restaurante es bueno, con un menú variado y buen sazón. La relación calidad precio es razonable. La comida es muy buena pero el servicio no fue tan eficiente. | $10 | 7.9 |

When you imagine your time at atitlan this place will more than accommodate for what you're expecting. I literally can't recommend it enough. The host was amazing to us, helped us out so much and imparted so much wisdom on us whilst at the same time leaving us to enjoy his little paradise. He wasn't also a fabulous cook! Everything was amazing. The view was breathtaking and the food was made whenever you asked for (delicious, cheap and extremely fresh). Bonus we had our fresh and extremely good water source in the garden (no aditional cost) It's a cozy space to chill and be yourself with peace and an amazing view. Great view from the window of the tree house and it's shared bathroom. The breakfast was delicious , specially the bread (which is made by the staff). Location, idyllic. The owner was very interesting and speaks excellent English. Josefa makes great breakfasts and is lovely. Since I arrived the adventure begun A beautiful view of volcanoes , Warm of people., personal touch With green Natura . Lovely room and views across the lake. Quiet location but only 10 minute walk to centre of San Marcos. Great view, coffee, and nice rooms. Interesting bathroom too.

Spacious room.
Nice balcony to sit with green, peaceful view.
Lovely talking parrot.
Good location. great family staff, clean room, felt secure, close to everything in Pana but pretty quiet at night except the odd rooster or dog - mattress was was bettter than i expected, shower was great. I chose this hospedaje due to it's convenience, but it was lovely in all other aspects as well. A very good choice for travellers to the lake who are on the way to somewhere else ie one of the other lakeside towns that are a bit better for longer term stays or holidays. The location of this is perfect on the main tourist street, near all the shops, restaurants, boat pier. I was very happy here :) The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. Very helpful staff, great location, spacious clean room, lovely courtyard with a parrot that likes monkey-nuts Very central, clean, good internet and facilities, helpful staff The hotel was perfectly situated, off the main street close to the lake but far back enough that it is not noisy.

Cristalinas Cafe, Hotel & Restaurant at Lake AtitlanCristalinas Cafe, Hotel & Restaurant at Lake Atitlan![]() $8 GUEST REVIEWSThe breakfast was great and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location is great, right on the lake. I enjoyed the view over breakfast and coffee each morning. Great value for the money!! Very clean rooms, nice view of the lake, great breakfast. Inclusive breakfast was brilliant. Room was big, and we had a Great Lake view Hammocks Great choice of included breakfast! Great views if you get a room on the upper floor. Only the breakfast is worth it. It's amazing breakfast which would cost at other places already more than the half of the price. So I would say the real price for a bed in the dorm (only 3 beds) is 30quezales 3-4 euros?!If you count in the breakfast. The rooms are Basic but totally fine and next to the lake. It's calm and Not a party hostel. Stuff is super nice! The room we were in had a great view of Lake Atitlan. The hotel, though right on the lake, only has one room with the awesome view unless standing on the balcony. It had a very nice restaurant and the included breakfast is great. You get to order anything on their menu and it is complimentary. I felt like the place was clean and well kept and the employees were very kind and helpful. There is parking across the street from the hotel. It is very centrally located on a main strip of San Pedro with shops, tiendas, cafes, and restaurants very close by. The location on the lake was great as it was an easy walk to get anywhere in town & especially at night not having to navigate all the small alleyways. The included breakfast is incredible, you choose whatever you want off the menu & it is then cooked fresh. Staff are lovely. Free breakfast was fantastic, same day laundry, amazing views, secure parking. Close to coffee shops bars and restaurants. Lovely staff and location , nice clean rooms . Its at the party end of town but that only disturbed my sleep once in a 5 night stay . Good choice of breakfast included in the price which for me made it v.good value excellent laundry on-site Most of the staff speak good or at least functional English . Right on the lake lively views and hammocks Location is very convenient and right on the lake... It's not a party hostel, but it's really close to Fe (which IS a party hostel), and they play music pretty loud at night. Amazing breakfast - you get to choose! Staff are very lovely. | $8 | 7.6 |
Bungalows Dos AmericasBungalows Dos Americas![]() $12 GUEST REVIEWSGreat self catering facilities; the member of staff took his time to ensure everything in the kitchenette was there and functioning for us. Cute, simple hotel with clean rooms, well-manicured courtyard, nice hot showers and kitchenettes in each room. Clean, good wifi, warm water for shower, big room, a lot of space! I was really positive surprised and would come to that place again! clean, comfortable bungalows, hot water, quiet and good wifi. Very good value for money. If I come again in Panajachel, would ask for bungalow again! This is terrific property especially for a longer term stay. It's is a nice little studio apartment - great wifi in my room and some English channels on the cable TV. Nice sized mini-frig w small freezer section. Very nice staff - especially Aaron who is full of great information. Great sized comfortable room with kitchenette and ensuitte. Good value for money. Clean, with private bathroom and kitchenette. Good quality/price ratio. Really nice helpful staff, came in to meet us and show us how to get to the hotel. Nice to have a little kitchen for coffee etc. We had room 3, #5 had a bigger frig. I prefer to be off the beaten path so it is quieter for sleeping. A tuk tuk is 5Q and will get you anywhere quickly. Good place to park a car many places do not have parking. It was very clean. My room was very nice and clean. The shower was very hot. It had a cold refrigerator, gas stove, pots and dishes. The staff is very nice and accomodating. And it was only a 5 minute walk from the beach. Really quiet, simple but clean, and a great price for budget travelling. The kitchenette was fairly simple but functional, as is the rest of the room. | $12 | 7.6 |
Bed and breakfast AtitlanBed and breakfast Atitlan![]() $10 GUEST REVIEWSThe included breakfast was a great portion, freshly made, attentive service and with an amazing view of lake Atitlan Really friendly staff, great location and the included breakfast and other meals here are the best food Ive eaten in seven months traveling. Also new mattress, very comfortable. Excellent value! The free breakfast is the best part. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food delicious and the beds comfortable. It is a basic accomodation so I would only recommend it to young people travelling alone or in a pair. Breakfast is beyond belief. Location is great. Staff were great!

Atitlan Sunset LodgeAtitlan Sunset Lodge![]() $54 GUEST REVIEWSWe were taken by the amazing view and the friendliness of the owner. Was made to feel very welcome on arrival. Armand the host was great, a genuinely nice person. The location is breathtaking. The studio was everything we needed and the coffee is beautiful. The peace and tranquility combined with its location makes it as close to perfection as i have experienced and i have travelled extensivley, Armand is a great host never intrusive but if there is anythingyou need he is there. Domingo and Maria where unfalingly helpful and friendly. Sunset Lodge is amazing!!! We were sad that we were only able to book three nights of the studio and we immediately loved it when we arrived. So after a talk with Ahmad (the owner), he kindly give us a better room for our entire three weeks stay! And that's what we did, we took boat from time to time to Pana or San Pedro/ San Juan, or just walks to Santa Cruz. We just cannot get tired of the amazing sunset view everyday. My boyfriend is a photographer, so every day he would go out to take pictures and at night, we went up to the roof top of the apartment and did some wonderful star track shots. Last but not least, Ahmad has been living in Atitlan for 27 years and originally from France, so he knows a lot of the place and has real estate business there too, so if you want to own something there like we do, definitely talk to him! :D Well located apartment with a wonderful view facing the lake and the volcanos. The apartment has a huge window facing the lake from which you can see the lake, from the kitchen, the bed or the sofa and even from the shower :-) Super calm surrounding in the nature. It was nice to have a private place to stay like at home. We stayed in the apartment #1. Everything! We booked for 3 nights at first and once we arrived on the day, we extended out stay to 15 nights. That says it all. It is the perfect place for a nice peaceful time. Our room is equipped with everything we need, we cooked our own meals, we enjoyed sunset right through our bay window, oh, not just sunset, also meteor rain! The owner Ahmand is just perfect, you will know why we say this when you meet him! We are already planning to come back to this place in the near future. The location was ideal. Quiet and quick lancha ride to a variety of the towns on the lake. Awesome view from the room over the lake, very nice room with a large window front, big balcony and little kitchen. Internet works well for such a remote area, sometimes it disconnects but enough for online-work. This is one of my favourite places I have ever stayed. Our apartment was incredible, with a constant view of the lake from every angle! -Fantastic price, well equipped kitchen to cook in, an extremely comfortable bed, good wi-fi and the TV even has netflix. - Lovely staff members / gardener around if you need any help. -About a 20 minute walk into Santa Cruz following a track along the water past the beautiful homes. We had a lot of rain during our stay but watching the storms roll in over the lake from the couch was the best. I highly recommend Atitlan Sunset Lodge. The best view of this astonishingly beautiful lake. The entire apartment is to a very high western standard too. Overall, the best place i have ever stayed at. | $54 | 9.2 |

Blue Mayan HotelBlue Mayan Hotel![]() $55 GUEST REVIEWSBlue Mayan is a very clean hotel located close to the central street, yet very quiet. The owners and the staff are very nice and polite. Big and comfortable rooms.
If you decide to spend some time in Panajachel, I do recommend this property. This is our 2nd time staying here. It is centrally located and 2 blocks away from the lake. It is run by a family who is friendly and helpful. Agua Caliente is plentiful here. The location was quiet yet close to the heart of town and the boat docks. The staff, especially the young man at the front desk were very helpful and courteous. Because of a strike, we weren't able to travel from Lake Atitlan to Xela as we had planned, so we spent an unexpected night at the Blue Mayan and it turned out to be a real pleasure. If you're staying on the Lake, you don't necessarily want to stay in busy Pana (though it does have decent restaurants and lots of shopping). But for a Pana stay, Blue Mayan is pretty perfect -- huge rooms, a lovely garden for breakfast (and bar), nice staff and great price. It's very close to the public dock and steps from the main street but set back from the road and very quiet. Excellent value. I really enjoyed staying in this hotel. The bed as comfortable, the shower was very big, breakfast was served everyday in the garden where i wanted to seat. Wifi works everywhere. Nice garden you can enjoy. This hotel is very well located in a quiet area but still 5 minutes from the restaurants, bats, cafes, boats, ... Quiet setting away from the busy street. Large rambling house with generous sized rooms and comfortable outside areas for lounging. Interesting collection of Mayan antiquities for viewing and very gracious owners and staff. The location is ideal for visiting the centre or the lake. All at walking distance. Spacious room. The staff always greated us with a smile, the entire olace was very clean, and quiet. The owner was amazingly kind and helpful. She gives guests a very useful paper of information on Panajachel. The bed was firm and comfortable. The sweetest black Labrador lives on the grounds. Location was quiet but close to the action. Excelente servicio, el desayuno es buenísimo Súper recomendado! La ubicación está muy buena | $55 | 8.8 |
Posada de Don JosePosada de Don Jose![]() $27 GUEST REVIEWSThe location was excelent, and the staff was incredibly nice. The staff here are lovely, the garden is beautiful and the room was large. There was hot water in the shower but it only lasts a few minutes. Cable tv. The location is about a 15/20 minute walk from Calle Santander - the main shopping/restaurant street. As others have said the tuk tuks are only 5Qs if you don't want to walk. It did mean though that it was a bit of an effort if you like to go in and out during the day. The stuff was very kind and helpful. Hotel was quiet and peaceful. The patio outside the room was beautiful. Rooms were clean and spacy. Localization was ok but better and more comfortable take "took took" specially after dark. Room was spacious/quiet. Shower warm. (There was a phone and a TV, but I didn't use either). My Spanish sucks, so I appreciated the staff being patient/helpful. The staff are nice and accommodating. The bedroom is comfortable and cleaned every day. The TV is clear and the shower sometimes gets hot water. The owner is pretty mindful of quiet hours so we all can sleep in piece. It has parking on site and gated at night. It turns out there are much, much cheaper places in town, but the place was clean and perfect for people looking for more privacy. Beautiful grounds, spotlessly clean and very friendly and helpful staff. Very quiet but still close to the market and a short walk from the tourist area. Excelente atención, hotel muy limpio, cómodo, y excelente lugar para descansar. Las habitaciones la amabilidad del personal y la ubicación del hotel Ruhig gelegenes Posada mit einem sehr ansprechenden, grosszügigen Innenhof mit Blumen, an denen sich Kolibris beobachten lassen. Auch ein Papagei ist da - leider ohne Kumpel. Sehr schönes Ambiente und grosszügige Zimmer (ein 4-Bett-Zimmer ist dort wirklich mit 4 grossen Betten und nicht mit 2 mehr oder weniger grossen Doppelbetten). Die Dusche war einige der wenigen auf unserer 6-wöchigen Reise durch Zentralamerika, die auf Anhieb genug und warmes Wasser in einem vernünftigen Strahl abgab. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich ! Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Besitzer, recht ruhig nachts, sauber, sicher, gut gepflegt, geräumig. | $27 | 8.7 |
Hotel Los CofradesHotel Los Cofrades![]() $33 GUEST REVIEWSThe staff are excellent!!! The rooms are spacious and comfortable with nice hot showers. The restaurant has good food that is clean and well prepared. Staff were helpful, advising me on tours to do. Nice place, good location. Me encanto sus servios sus instalaciones las personas fueron muy educadas... La alimentación es un poco lenta, pero deliciosa. Vale la pena esperar. Les chambres en rez-de-jardin. L'eau chaude et les deux serviettes de toilette. Le restaurant de l'hôtel (excellent rapport qualité/prix, inutile d'aller chercher plus loin). El precio es bueno para lo que ofrecen. Es ideal para quedarse una noche de paso y es mejor opción que Panahachel Nada. El hotel está en obras. Ruidos desde temprano. La habitación es húmeda y no tiene ni calefaccion ni aire acondicionado. Las fotos engañan. No tiene vista y lo que se ve es horrrible. La comida del restaurante es mala, un show de música malo y que se escucha mal y alto volumen. El desayuno es definitivamente pésimo. Las habitaciones no tienen ni teléfono para llamar a recepcio ni frigo bar. | $33 | 8.7 |
Reserva Natural AtitlanReserva Natural Atitlan![]() $65 GUEST REVIEWSProperty was like a little paradise. Staff was super friendly and there was so much to do onsite. Ziplining, hiking, butterfly and monkeys onsite, short walk to the water. Amazing place with very good hikes, beautiful lake beach and very kind staff! Scenery, the hotel itself, the staff is amazing. The zip-lining tour is the best. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, the surroundings are breathtaking, the butterfly garden is so lovely, and it's not far from downtown Pana if you're looking for some good food and shopping! The room or cabin was great...clean quiet and beautifully built from bamboo...nestled in the woods I love EVERYTHING, the beautiful nature is stunning, love waking up with the birds chirping, to utter with a cheerful liveliness. The hiking is awesome, the cables X-tremos is a crazy fun experience. The staff is wonderful and kind. The breakfast is superb. The linens are clean, I'm very picky when it comes to sleeping in hotels but never here, I felt comfortable and slept like a baby. Love the panorama at the lakeshore is stunning. The staff was very accommodating. They have an English/Spanish translation app on their computer which was very helpful when needed. They were very helpful in arranging a private driver back to the airport. The male peacock was stunning. Gorgeous flowers everywhere. The butterfly dome was like being in a 'fairyland'. Lots to see. Ziplines were great! Very nice breakfast. Best pancakes in Guatemala. Comfortable and surrounded by nature, lots to do during the day Beautiful room, views, hiking, zip lines and butterflies. Close to main attractions but far enough away for quiet. Good for those who enjoy nature. | $65 | 8.6 |
Hotel Museo Mayan InnHotel Museo Mayan Inn![]() $72 - $159 GUEST REVIEWSthe location to the market 20 ft away ....arrived the days before the market great place to watch the changes in the street...it was the best choice in town It was a wonderful experience! We love staying there and the people were absolutely wonderful! Thank you very much We loved the Mayan Inn and the location is perfect. Meals are extra and a little on the high side but well worth it for the ambiance and location. Loved having a fire every night in our room. We were there from Friday to Monday and would strongly recommend arriving early Saturday until Monday so you can see all the venders setting up shop for Sunday which tends to be a madhouse. Great location, very close to the market. Stuff are very very polite and helpful. At night they light the fireplace next to the bed. Excellent location. Charming traditional special place Our suite was spacious and appointed with beautiful antiques. The staff are very kind and attentive and really cared about our comfort. We had our own patio with a garden. It was stunning. The restaurant is superb and we loved the bar. Location was incredible. The staff very helpful and friendly. Incredible service. Rooms and hotel had a charming antiquity about them...beautiful furniture and garden. Fireplace a real treat on a chilly night. We were there for the Sunday market and the start of All Saints Day. Very fun and interesting. LOUD bombs were set off every few minutes starting at 4:00am. This was to wake up God to protect the dead in the cemetery. The staff at the hotel explained everything to us. This is the2nd time we have stayed at theMayan Inn. We would recommend it completely. This is the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed in. From the woman manager Paola who was so attentive including getting room made up because I was early to Manuel who is described as your personal assistant (from dinner to lighting your personal fireplace for a chilly evening-see picture I posted!). There is a popular hotel in Chichi-large, impersonal and full of tour groups. The Mayan Inn is charming, quiet, with a very sweet staff. It is in the heart of the market but once you enter it is a paradise. Excelent SERVICE, manager PAOLA very heplful and kínd, staff Super good locatiion THE BEST OF Town.

Hotel Nuestro SueñoHotel Nuestro Sueño![]() $36 GUEST REVIEWSAbove & beyond level of service. Beautiful, quiet location to rest and relax right on the lake with an incredible view. I would highly recommend for the quality of rooms vs cost, the attentiveness of staff, (Owner Richard prepared off-menu food in order to prepare me for running a marathon the next day taking the time to read comments relating to the trip & tailor his service) and the beauty of the location. Spa services are available & the food is excellent. Thank you for an unforgettable stay. the owners were welcoming and full of info and the staff so warm Best place I have stayed in years. The property is owned and managed by a family that let you feel you are staying in their home, not in a Hotel. We, Melyn and Jose, want to express our appreciation for a time that we will never forget. We didn't want to leave. Thanks Richard and Sonia. Wow what a place, host is so so nice, wise great company and a superb man all round. Cannot say enough for his brilliant staff too. Everything we could of asked for Authentic Lake Atitlan experience. San Antonio is unique. If you looking to experience the culture this us a perfect way. Princess Location Very pleasant owner Very friendly and helpful staff Everything was great. The people, the extras, everything was really nice. We were really happy to have stayed here. The owner of the place was a super kind man, the view of the queen suite was excellent ! We were upgraded to Eagles nest room. Quite a hike up but beautiful room with 2 showers and 3 beds and a view to die for my stay was like being in someone's home--informal, pleasant. Owner was very helpful--provided useful information about San Antonio P. based on his years of living their, printed out my boarding pass, made recommendations. His staff/family was attentive. Hotel is right across the (quiet) street from the lake with unobstructed views. | $36 | 8.3 |
Hotel & Restaurante Arca de NoéHotel & Restaurante Arca de Noé![]() $49 GUEST REVIEWSLocation is superb, extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. They are happy to help you find your way around the villages on the lake and plan your time in Guatemala. Gorgeous views, Clean, rustic rooms and well manicured, impressive flora and fauna. The village itself also makes for some great photos. The location of the hotel right at the lake, the privacy of the room its comfort, the terrace of the room, the flowers and service of all the amazing staff Wonderful room and view Friendly attentive staff Beautiful setting and garden Room cleaned every day Restaurant on-site I came with my husband mother and grandmother. it was SO beautiful. The staff were so helpful and I asked one of the staff for bug spray and they said they had none. The next morning as we are having breakfast (which was DELISH) and the owner comes and hands me a bug spray! So great! The bungalows are so quaint! The view is amazing at all times. The bungalows are clean, spacious and beautiful. The decks are right on the water... It was magnificent! It's my second time here and I will keep coming back. The staff are fantastic, kind and helpful. The food delicious! One of my absolute favorite places on lago Atitlan! Location, location, location Santa Cruz is an excellent way to spend leisure time at Lake Atitlan. The rooms are new and spacious and the views spectacular. The staff will make sure you are taken care of and your needs are met. They can answer your questions about the area and arrange any travel packages or trips you desire. At first sight the place is amazing and after several days the impression is confirmed. Apart from the view and the well setup little houses, the people working at Arca de Noe are genuinly helpful and the homemade and fresh dinner each night perfectly complete this great experience. The food was outstanding and very price worthy. Anything we asked for we got immediately. When our hot water wasn't working, presto, it worked. All of our tours were based out of this location of Santa Cruz with Pedro and were super. Was a perfect setup. Location: With lake view in my room. Although it is close to the dock, the room has good soundproofing, I don't feel noisy at all. Setting: The whole area is surrounded by beautiful plants and tree, making me feel like staying in the forest. Everyday I woke up, was brushing teeth next to the nature and having breakfast in front of those beautiful flora. Amazing and magical setting! Staff: All of them are very nice, attentive and helpful, especially the hotel manager/director, Pedro. We chatted a lot when we have time, I do appreciate his vision on running a business and the contribution to the local community! He is a person full of passion on his job, family and life! Got much inspiration from him! Restaurants: Great food and setting as well! Romantic setting at dinner time! Wifi: Surprisingly I can connect to wifi in my room! Hot bath: Surprise! I booked 1 night but turn out I extented my stay here! It is just amazing! Everyone is extremely friendly and accommodatng. The view and environment are very tranquil. The accommodations are basic, clean, and safe. | $49 | 8.3 |
Posada Los EncuentrosPosada Los Encuentros![]() $37 GUEST REVIEWSTop floor room with great view of the town. Loved the hot spring. Hotel is filled with wonderful art. We bought a painting that helpful owner Richard Morgan packaged for us to take with us on the plane back home. The owner, Richard Morgan, and his son, Luke, are exceptionally gracious hosts. They made our stay there special. The rooms were nice, clean and with lots of room also the too also the too also the room we stay had access to a terrace which gave us an awesome view of the lake.

The hot soak tub was a nice way to relax at the end of the day. The owner, Richard Morgan is knowledgable and very helpful. Quiet location, eclectic decor, pretty garden. Used TukTuk to get into town. Dinner at lakeside Sunset Cafe. Boat ride to San Pedro. Richard and his staff were extremely informative about local activities and attractions, and he answered all our questions! Breakfast was good and it was nice to have a full apartment for a room! Drinking water was available outside our room and the posada seemed very secure. It's located across the river from the main tourist street, but the walk is short and the location is quiet and residential, which was nice after a busy day. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very easy walk to central Panajachel without being right in the center of all the activity. Very interesting host with deep local knowledge Outside the busy tourist district Nice facility with herbal gardens and geothermal hot tub Good price Good quality/ price relation (referring to commodities, location and rooms) Nice location, outside of town center, so sleep quality is good. | $37 | 8.2 |
Eco Hotel Uxlabil AtitlanEco Hotel Uxlabil Atitlan![]() $36 - $116 GUEST REVIEWSThis was a fabulous small hotel with super friendly helpful staff in a glorious position overlooking Lake Atitlan.
It is not easily accessible and therefore unsuitable for people with access issues or for children.
For us it was perfect The staff were so friendly! The place was very relaxing, convenient that the water taxi's come right to the hotel dock instead of having to walk up the steep hill into town. The food was home cooked and delicious. The bed was so comfortable, one of the best sleeps on my trip. Excellent location in very cosy little town San Juan. Tranquille - perfect for days of peaceful relaxation - swimming and kanoeing. Very friendly staff - and excellent garden with space for relaxation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We showed up at 12:30pm our first day and left at 1:00pm the next day without any problems whatsoever. Great views and great breakfast. The tranquility of this place and the view are something else. I felt like I could dive off the balcony into the vista and float away as one with it. Great, quiet location. Beautiful view, wonderful staff. A++ Every room had a deck over looking the lake that was simply incredible. We stayed at the hotel over Christmas for three nights and the staff was beyond kind and helpful. We loved the location for being quiet and just a 15 min walk into San Pedro or 5 min walk to San jaun. We highly recommend this peaceful hotel to give an extra highlight to your stay at the lake :) Hotel is in a beautiful location, - its great that it's a bit outside of town but hard to manage your suitcase getting there. Lovely views and lovely staff. The staff and management were terrific. The cafe is sensational. They are so friendly and care so much that you like your food. There are kayaks you can use for free on the lake. There is a sauna onsite that you can use for free. The views are... well.. unbelievable. All the food was cooked to order and natural ingredients. | $36 | 8.1 |
Hotel Paradise InnHotel Paradise Inn![]() $68 GUEST REVIEWSThe staff are totally helpful and friendly and the hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the lake front and where the boats leave. When we realized how bad the rooms were and how they'd ripped us off by charging $95 per night through booking.com when their normal price is 60, the manager was very nice, switched our room, and bought us breakfast. Me gustaron mucho sus instalaciones, todo muy limpio ordenado y super cómodo en realidad muy bueno La cama era muy cómoda y la habitación muy espaciosa. Grandes vistas y jardín interior con terraza. La dueña fue atenta y amable. La piscina, excelente para los niños, la vista muy linda, y el restaurante bien..las habitaciones con lo escencial para pasar una estancia agradable, no lujos, pero tiene todo lo que uno necesita, buenas camas y muy limpio todo.

Hotel Dos Mundos PanajachelHotel Dos Mundos Panajachel![]() $54 GUEST REVIEWS- Excellent location - in the middle of Calle Santander, a short walk from the lake
- Beautiful setting - all rooms are set in a lush garden, back from the street, so no street noise. Nice pool as well
- Free parking on the premises
- We haven't tried the restaurant this time, but we know from a previous trip that they serve good Italian food and decent wines Service was great, the staff was extremely nice and helpful. Location is amazing and rooms are clean and big. Very peaceful, beautiful landscaping, large rooms with TV, clean, swimming pool, close to shopping and restaurants, etc. Also very close to gorgeous Lake Atitlan where there are many boats to take you to different villages if you desire, tours, etc. Just a couple mins from the ferry. And good market place to buy things. Try your best to negociate with the vendors they know everyone there is with money and not from there. Great staff. Close to the main street, but the rooms were back enough to be quiet at night. Breakfast was awesome and the location was excellent The location was very good.The staff were friendly and room was very clean.The garden area was nice as well.

Casa ColonialCasa Colonial![]() $40 GUEST REVIEWSHelpful staff, comfortable beds, nice and spacious seeting on the balcony The gentleman that worked the desk went above and beyond for all our requests. The building is locked at night for added security. Casa Colonial was fantastic! It's right by the market, lake, and ferry boats. Clean and comfortable rooms. Held out bags no problem before check-in time and after we checked out. The staff, Mr. T, was the best. He let us practice our Spanish with him, gave directions and recommendations, and arranged our shuttle to the airport. Lastly, I was sick on the last day after we checked out, and he gave me a room to relax in for a few hours until I felt better. Literally saved me! Mr.D Was very very kind and helpfull. A real nice and wellcoming person. Wi fi was great. On n all, We had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel's description was pretty spot on. Not high on comfort or amenities, but location and proximity to activities and atmosphere were great for the price. We booked in for 2 nights & ended up staying 4 nights at on 2 separate occasions. The Manager (Dargo) was very attentive, helpful & informative, especially when we wanted to do the whole chicken bus trip to Chichicastenango. He wrote out where we had to change buses ... it was a blast! Our room was alongside the verandah & was spacious & comfy. Perfect location for us ... close to the lake for first light & 40m to the main street. Great wifi, hot water & strong shower ... brilliant. Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable bed, free drinking water Staff were lovely- very patient with our terrible Spanish. Great location close to Main Street and lake. Best of all the owner took us on a stand up paddle tour of the lake which was amazing as well as out to dinner for the best tacos in town followed by walking through where the locals lived! Simple but clean and comfortable room, hot shower and strong wifi. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful! Great location! Close to Lake Atitlan and shopping/sightseeing areas. Short walk to pier where the launches can take you to the other towns around the Lake. Owners and front desk staff were amazing! Very helpful and super friendly! We saw a number of families and backpackers in the main lobby. This is also a terrific place for stand-up paddleboarders as they make and rent their own boards here. Great value for the money! | $40 | 7.9 |
Hotel & Restaurant Jinava BayHotel & Restaurant Jinava Bay![]() $46 GUEST REVIEWSBeautiful place to stay, great atmosphere, friendly service, quiet, and close to restaurants and shops. Was the perfect place to enjoy Lago de Atitlan and to disconnect for a few days. Excellent place, staff very nice, beautiful location. Great :) This hotel is one of the best in Guatemala! Picturesque views from all of the property. The rooms are like suites and well worth the nominal price. Waking up to a picture window looking out to a lush landscape, lake waves, and the volcanos... wow The views were outstanding. The bed was comfy. The location was slightly out of town and thus nicely quiet. Very very very beautiful and quite. The hotel is on the riverside. Garden is awesome. The staff is not so kind except the manager (may be is the manager, in any case is the older one) that is so nice. The view of the lake was great but everything else was a disappointmen reserved 3 rooms and was only given 2room but still charged for all 3. Hotel is in a nice setting. Rooms with a view would be nice but ours was right behind the restaurant with no view of the lake and no privacy. We asked if we could move but were told it was not possible. Views from property were lovely, food was tasty and nicely presented, bed very comfortable, staff helpful...a lovely peacefull stay 😊 The place was stunning as any other place in atitlan lake. The location is unbeatable, rooms are cozy and clean and the hostel is beautiful. | $46 | 7.9 |

This is an amazing beautiful place, absolutely everything was perfect, highest level of professionalism by everyone starting at the reception desk, and I need to mention the great personal, respectful service and food. One of the Hughes points for me was the great, personal service provided by the tour around the lake by boat captain whom I need to mentioned was patient and a great professional I had the opportunity to learned about all of the art that goes into Indian clothing and locals way of life Pintorestic hotel , clean, comfty, private, nice staff, good price Good service , nice rooms . Beautiful garden and nice view to the lake and the volcanos . Next to the hotel there is the Hotel atitlan where you can enjoy breakfast and see the botanical gardens. It is a very nice hotel, sorrounded by nature, and right on the lake. The suites have large open space, a complete kitchen and a very large terrace. Bathrooms were clean.

White RoomWhite Room![]() $121 GUEST REVIEWSWords are not enough to describe this paradise... we felt very privileged to spend a few days here. Michael was a superb host and a very interesting man. The house itself is a dream, a modern minimalistic place, high quality, combined with wonderful local art and paintings from the master himself.
Opening the curtains in the early morning, straight from bed into the lake... a wonderful breakfast, the privacy and absolute tranquility... Everything was great! Dita was a wonderfull cook and was really helpfull with organizing our following trips. Waking up with such a nice view over the vulcanos: couldn't be better! Thanks for making our stay at lake atitlan an unforgettable experience! Our host was super friendly and helpful throughout out stay, including making extra (delicious) meals and giving us ideas of things to do each day. The easy lake access was wonderful and the landscaping added to the beauty! Excellent room, a beautiful house right on the waters edge. Dita is great and very accomodating. My partner got sick and she was extremely helpful and went out of her way to assist her and made teas and smoothies for her. The accomodation is very good, the best we have had in Central America and far above other options we saw around the lake Between the warm welcome, the delicious home-made breakfast, the beauty and peacefulness of the environment, and our room right on the water, we couldn't have hoped for a better time. Our host also made sure to book our transportation and was always there to make sure we had everything we needed. Lugar increiblemente bello, lleno de energia positiva. El lugar elegante, sobrio no compite con el bello paisaje. Mike nitida persona. Vilvere pronto. En general toda la experiencia supero las expectativas, el hotel es arquitectonicamente impresionante, todos los detalles de diseño estan muy bien solucionados. El servicio, la atención y la confianza de sus dueños es excelente. Ein kleines privates Paradies, eine sehr individuelle und freundliche Betreuung durch die Besitzerin. Frühstück und Dinner waren köstlich und mit biologischen Zutaten gekocht und serviert auf der privaten Terasse mit Blick auf den See. La vista espectacular. Miguel un tipo muy amable y simpático. Recomendadísimo! Mínimo 2 noches para disfrutarlo como debe ser. | $121 | 9.5 |

Atitlan VillasAtitlan Villas![]() $122 GUEST REVIEWSIt is a beautiful boutique hotel, friendly staff and great chef.
The only thing is that it is not located inside San Antonio village. We would come back again Amazing position on the lake, nice pool, sauna and hot tub with a view, eye for details and big comfortable clean accommodations. The views of the lake and the isolated location made it a perfect trip to combat stress The Villas are all about location, and what a wonderful location it is. Sitting on our balcony we could see 3 volcano's. The property is beautifully situated, only accessible by a 5 minute boat ride, it's the ideal location to explore the rest of the towns and villages that are dotted around the lake. Atitlan Villas has it's own boat and will take you to any of the numerous ports. The property itself is lovely, with a wonderful staff. Jerry went out of his way to make sure our experience was one to remember and Mario also helped to create a wonderful atmosphere for my family and I. We will be returning soon and I'm looking forward to those hammocks that look out over the volcano. What a peaceful spot to contemplate the beauty of Lake Atitlan Su ubicación , se disfruta de un hermoso paisaje y como es hotel pequeño es muy acogedor . Es ub lugar increiblenentw precioso ideal para descansar. A la orilla del lago en una montaña. Saludable quieto apacible y el hotel precioso La habitación excelente! La vista espectacular ! Excelente servicio! Las instalaciones muy bien diseñadas, cómodas, acogedoras y con una vista ¡espectacular! La ubicación es excelente, las habitaciones muy agradables y los servicios adicionales un gran complemento para hacer una estadía placentera. Las vistas son expectaculares. Se tienen todas las comodidades para descansar. El personal es muy atento. | $122 | 9.3 |
Hotel Villas Balam YaHotel Villas Balam Ya![]() $143 GUEST REVIEWSRosa came in every morning to cook us breakfast and tidy up. Her pancakes are the best I've ever had in my life!! This is one beautiful spot! Waking up to see the volcano and the beautiful lake made our trip. It's a luxurious laid-back vibe at this place. No complaints. We loved everything. One of the best hotels I've stayed in (in terms of having it all!) Beautiful view from the one-bedroom apartment, fully equipped kitchen, stunning decor, beautiful lighting, lovely architecture. The value was great (I think we got a fairly good rate on booking.com?) Free kayaks for use on the lake, lovely free breakfast and ultra reliable internet. Incredible views in a secluded and quiet paradise. Warm & friendly service with a wealth of local knowledge from our host. Rodolfo's recommendations and assistance in booking local trips was invaluable and really made our stay what is was! His recommendations for restaurants in both Panajachel & Santiago were excellent, in fact the best food we ate in Guatemala. Thoroughly recommend hiring a private boat for the day to explore the lake. Beautiful place nicely decorated with very friendly staff. You have a great view over lake Atitlan from your terrasse. Great staff,beautiful villa in a beautiful location. Took seven pictures of the bathroom - it was so cool! Amazing views over the lake, access to Kayaks and you can also just swim in the lake. All facilities are good and the lady who cooks you breakfast is great. Very quiet place, but only 5 mins into town The apartment was amazing and it is in the middle of paradise. Stunning views. Everything - this was a beautiful spot, with the most beautiful view. We thought we would splurge on a nice hotel for a night, and actually extended our stay at Atitlan because of the hotel. The whole experience. Exceptional property,fantastic location Wish we could have stayed longer. | $143 | 9.3 |
Villas JucanyaVillas Jucanya![]() $115 GUEST REVIEWSThe villa was beautifully designed and decorated! Aaron was an attentive and informative host. The villa was spacious yet homey and comfortable. The views out over the lake were spectacular! Everything about this property was top notch. Thank you to Aaron for allowing us to stay for three lovely days at the villa (not long enough!). Right by the lake very easy get to the boat The house is very nice and very well equipped The environment around the house Nice.location near lake. Very modern villa. Very warm and friendly welcome Gorgeous location with great views. The staff were so friendly and we felt welcome from the minute we arrived. The villas are beautifully designed and kept and the kitchen is very well stocked for staying in and cooking. We would live to return and definitely recommend! Service was excellent. Aaron couldn't have been more helpful. From ensuring we had accurate directions and going above and beyond to ensure we arrived safefly to booking an excellent excursion for us. Thank you very much! New, high quality villa with views of lake Atitlan. Plenty of space incl. nice terrace. Well equipped kitchen, 2 nice bathrooms. Ca 10 minute walk along front of the lake to restaurants and shops of Pana. We used the house as a base for our week of Spanish lessons and it worked very well for our needs. We only used ensuite bedroom with views on top floor but there are 2 more spacious bedrooms, sharing a bathroom on the ground floor. We enjoyed the walk during the day to Pana, and would take tuk-tuk in the evenings, at cost of 10 quentales. Excellent location and very, very nice and profesional staff :-) Great facilities and the Villas are fantastic. The views are incredible Very clean, new, lots of room. Black light bug zappers worked well. Great showers in bathroom with plenty of hot water. Good plumbing! Perfektní vilky kompletně vybavené včetně kuchyně. | $115 | 9.2 |

Lomas de TzununaLomas de Tzununa![]() $86 GUEST REVIEWSMaria, the owner couldn't have been more hospitable! So kind and gracious. Know you'll be taken care of by honest people!! This location is perfectly planted to travel by boat to the neighboring towns if you'd like. perfect match for total privacy and shuttle boats drive by regularly and look for your waving hand to jump a ride. You can hike the trails for scenic views and connect to other towns within 10-20 minutes. Exceptional... No hotel can offers a better view of the lake. Staff is wonderful and Owners are great. We spent 4 nights with our 2 sons... enjoying the pool in the morning and visiting villages around the lake in the afternoon. All diners at the Lomas restaurant... Excellent food and atmosphere. Incredible views of the lake and the volcanos near by. The photos do not do this hotel justice. The rooms are excellent, very big and spacious with gorgeous views. The on-site restaurant serves delicious food and has a balcony that over looks the lake. A perfect hotel for anyone. I can't wait to come back Separate villa-like rooms terraced in the mountain-side provide private balconies with unobstructed lake/mountain views that are worth the climb of 350 steps from the private dock (tell boat taxi: "Lomas"). The dining area is even higher up with wide vista views from the open veranda. The public restaurant offers juice, wine, beer, and its own kombucha, with pasta, chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes. The local staff is efficient and amiable. There is an outdoor terrace pool, and sauna room. Free Wifi in the dining, lounge and pool areas (not accessible in my room). Massages, kayaks, and tours can all be arranged. The restaurant can also be reached by tuktuk from the town of Tzununas or the backroad hiking trail. Spectacular location with panoramic views of Lake Atitlan. Private deck for each room. Excellent restaurant. Great wine list! This is the 2nd time this year we have stayed at Lomas. We love this place. Everything is excellent. Each room looks out over Lake Atitlan and the surrounding volcanoes. With luck you can see El Fuego volcano erupting. Food is great and very healthy. All is grown on the property or in the immediate area. Eat the salads. They are perfectly cleaned. The owners are building a library for the community. So if you go, bring a book or two (or more) in Spanish to donate. Children's or adult's. Plan time to visit the other towns around the lake. The staff can help you understand how to use the public water taxi system. amazing view of the lake! every room has it's own view! We had a fantastic experience at Lomas de Tzununa. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the stunning views from our balcony and the peaceful environment of the hotel. - Beautiful views. - Fantastic location on the lake. - Excellent food. - Wonderful and friendly staff and owners. - Great value. Food was excellent with a lot of variety. Lovely views of the lake and surrounding volcanoes. | $86 | 8.9 |

They don't have a restaurant for the evening but the staff were friendly enought to organize a meal for us every night. Everything!! Awesome views. Excellent breakfast. Excelente service. The view for breakfast time was amazing and so was the food! Amazing & breathtaking view of the lake. The personell is very willing to help and make your stay wonderful. Very unique hotel, the infinity pool and Lake Atitlàn, is just amazing! The view was amazing and the infinity pool looking out over the lake was incredible. This place is great for a quiet stay, just be mindful that you will need to get a taxi here, as it's a bit out of the way, but incredible once you get there. The guy who runs the place is a lovely older Italian man who was sweet. This is a tranquil get away, and very romantic. Though severely understaffed, the staff that are present are helpful. The view of the lake is very nice. | $152 | 8.8 |

Hotel AtitlanHotel Atitlan![]() $154 GUEST REVIEWSWell the location was amazing and mind blowing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The staff was great and helped us so much. Beautiful grounds, view and room. Staff were very pleasant. The grounds and the gardens were beautiful and perfect. Combined with the backdrop of lake and the volcanos it was something Walt Disney could not have come up with. This was one of the most beautiful resorts I've ever stayed in. The gardens were stunning,you could spend hours walking around them, taking it all in. Our room was huge,more than enough space for 2 people and the decor was very in keeping with the style of the hotel. The resort facilities were fantastic, there was a good gym and the pool/jacuzzi area was outstanding. Once you get into the jacuzzi you won't want to leave- the view is phenomenal! We absolutely loved the food here, it was great to see so much variety and such high quality. Obviously there are other places you can venture to for food but personally, we looked forward to our meals here. The staff were all lovely too. Beautiful location, stunning views, magnificent botanical gardens and excellent food. By far the best hotel we found during our three week trip to Guatemala and Honduras. Hote Atitlan is a true gem and ideal for all kinds of traveler, including small children, they will love tbe gardens and birds, but it never felt crowded or loud. Absolutely reccomend it. We loved the location, the views and the pools. The food was delicious. Fantastic location and beautiful setting and views...the best we had in Guatamala. The pool, the resturant and the gardens were stunning. The gardens and view of the lake are amazing. A large comfortable king size bed. Rooms were really beautiful, the view from the restaurant & pool area out on to the lake is incredible. | $154 | 8.3 |

Excellent location - great integration of lodge with nature and community Beautiful room, lovely view. Once we'd managed to get it booked, a great day tour of Los Tarrales Reserve (best bird watching site in Guatemala). La tranquilidad y paz q se siente en el lugar por estar alejado del bullicio del pueblo, el servicio al cliente y la seguridad q sentimos Camas comodisimas, vista espectacular desde la terraza !! Me encantaron los baños, espaciosos al igual que la habitación!! La comida, a pesar de ser vegetariana, estuvo deliciosa, las vistas del lago hermosas, el personal amable y atento. Excelente masaje. | $308 | 8.3 |

Hotel Rancho Grande InnHotel Rancho Grande Inn![]() $95 GUEST REVIEWSThis hotel has a good location in Panajachel. It is just a 5 minutes walk to the lake. The room is big and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, in order to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The WiFi is free of charge and the connection stable most of the time. Staff does not speak a lot of English, but they were so patient with our pitiful Spanish. They managed to find us whatever we needed. Situated on beautiful grounds, bungalow style, spacious rooms, comfy bed, away from the hubbub of downtown. Good wifi, purified water dispensers around. Good Breakfast was choice of pancakes or eggs and toast, fruit and fruit juice. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. We have a project in the highlands of Guatemala, which gives us opportunity to travel to the country once or twice a year. In the process, we take some personal time and visit our favorite sites, Panajachel being one. Our go to place in Panajachel is the Rancho Grande Inn. Everything is always well-done, and we appreciate the warm welcome and friendly service, added to the beautiful surroundings and facilities, not to mention the super breakfast. We look forward to stopping by again next time! Aunque es un hotel que ya cuenta con bastantes años, se conserva en buen estado de mantenimiento. Cada habitación está decorada en forma distinta con los muebles originales. El desayuno es delicioso y abundante: los panqueques son algo especial! Todo el personal nos atendió muy bien. Me gustaría volver a hospedarme aquí. Ya hemos estado muchas veces en ese hotel, pero esta ves nos asignaron las habitaciones C2 y C3 , esas no las conocíamos con mi familia, muy cómodas, amplias como si uno estuviera en casa, ademas los jardines del hotel, están impecables, realmente Rancho Grande es una muy buena opcion de precio y calidad. Están ubicados a la par de un terreno que utilizan para asambleas de la comunidad y desde las 6:00am utilizan altavoces que no te dejan descansar!! Desayuno bajo de calidad! muy comodo y el desayuno bastante bueno, ubicacion bastante buena. | $95 | 7.7 |
