"This place was incredible. We absolutely loved the three days we spent there. We all had so much fun. The food was good but it adds up fast with drinks here and then. We spent well over a $1000 dollars in three days and The drinks are pretty water down so maybe bring a bottle with you if you want a buzz. That was the most we spent in any of our stays in Guatemala. The stairs were fine but it's a lot if you're not in shape. I saw some people struggling. But it was worth it and part of the adventure. We went swimming a lot because the water was beautiful! Also, we slept like babies every night because without fail, it rained at night and it was lovely enjoying a hot chocolate hearing the rain. The beds were not comfortable but it was fine because we were always so tired and happy to be there we still slept well. The staff was super nice and attentive. Tip is included just fyi. We will 100% come back specifically to this place when we return to Guatemala. 10/10 recommend. The drive was nice. We drove ourselves and the roads were good. Parking was easy and our car was safe. The boat people charged us an extra Q10 per person because our luggage was heavy he said. But we knew he was trying to scam us. We talked about it and decided to just give him the extra money because to us that was like a dollar and it was fine. But you can just say no and wait for another boat. Jobalito was nothing special and it was dirty with drunk passed out locals. Next time we will try the other town. "

"Beautiful location with GREAT views. "

"great"

"I have never been to a hotel with staff this wonderful. The views are idealic. The restaurant on site was excellent and a good value. We felt at home very quickly. The hotel only has 10 total rooms. We were able to chop it up and meet other guests. A+. Staff always cheerful and helpful! I only have one complaint that is the same at every other hotel I have stayed at around Lake Atitlan. That complaint is the dogs! They are barking all night and here is a disco which can get rather loud. The hotel actually has ear plugs laid out for guests when they checkin. "

"Just a 5-minute tuk-tuk ride from both Panajachel and Santa Catarina Palopó, the location is super convenient yet tucked away in a quiet, peaceful area where you’ll truly find relaxation. I stayed in the Iguana room, which was great. It doesn’t have a fridge, but the restaurant and kitchen area downstairs can keep your items refrigerated if needed. Very practical! Although I didn’t get a chance to try the bar, I had dinner at the restaurant and was impressed—the Syrian dish was absolutely exquisite and paired perfectly with the wine I brought. (There’s a Q50 corkage fee, which I found very reasonable given the quality of the food and the priceless view). The property also has a traditional Mayan sauna, which I didn’t get to try this time but definitely will in the future. It’s all done in a traditional, manual way, so you need to arrange it in advance. I highly recommend guests take advantage of this unique and relaxing experience in nature. And finally, a big thank-you to Federico (Argentina), Andrea (Colombia), and Stephanie (Honduras)—such a warm, kind, and welcoming team. A lovely melting pot of hospitality!"
