The lovely Hotel Villa Santa Catarina is Guatemalan-owned. Beautiful two pools, great view of the lake, and a short tuk-tuk ride to Panajachel. The restaurant on site is fantastic for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Room was spacious - no A/C, but not a problem with the cool lake breeze at night.
The pools and gardens are lovely as you come into the courtyard off a street lined with lights and colorful hanging basket streamers leading down to the water. I loved the sounds of the school next door. The room was great, staff was friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was the best on this whole trip. It was easy to get a taxi to Panajachel for the public water shuttles around to the other villages.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Cozy, quaint, great staff, lovely grounds, rooms had nice terraces and a great pool. Unique small town on Lake Atitlan, less crowded than others and town park close by with great sunsets over the lake. Good meals.
Staff was helpful, the room was clean although I thought it would have better bathroom amenities. There was also a lot of groundskeeping activity very early on Sunday morning. The food was delicious, overall it was a great and relaxing stay.
This hotel is beautiful. The location is perfect. The restaurant has good quality food and very clean . I highly recommend this property. The staff is courteous and attentive.

the perfect place to stay. the view was amazing, the area is great; everyone super nice. check in was smooth and they even take your bags for you. breakfast is delicious
This hotel is the best! The view on Lake Atitlan is beautiful! The hotel is well located, easy to access, comfortable, clean, excellent wifi, very helpful staff. We loved our stay at Villa Santa Catarina.
The hotel is well maintained presently located and quiet. It is in the proximity of the town center an very close to the lake Atitlan. A great place to relax after touring other places.
Just 10min away from Panajachel, this hotel is a beautiful property, with nice,clean and comfortable rooms. The view to the lake and the hotsprings inside the hotel made it worth every penny. Would stay there again.
Amazing property with nice amenities. The view from the room was spectacular. No AC in the room. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet and private stay.
I love the view feom the hotel to the lake and the volcano and i didn't like the poorly transportation option. And is faraway from the center of the city
Hotel was great value for the price. Rooms were comfortable but walls are a bit thin, can hear a bit of noise sometimes. The hot spring pool is a huge bonus, spent a lot of time in there. Restaurant was good ate a couple of dinners there. Good view of the lake too.
A perfect respite on Lake Atitlan, away from the congestion of the town in its own nook. Incredibly well maintained and very friendly staff. Highly recommend
