The hotel had a mix of experiences. On one hand, the rooms were beautifully furnished with antique wood pieces and provided a magnificent view of the volcanoes, but there were issues with cleanliness and lack of hot water and electricity at times. The service was top-notch with helpful and friendly staff who offered delicious breakfast options. The location was fantastic, showcasing the essence of Guatemalan hospitality with exceptional gardens and serene sitting areas. Dining was a highlight with a great selection of a la carte options in a delightful setting. Overall, a property with character and charm, despite some maintenance challenges.

The hotel is beautifully situated with immaculately cared-for surroundings, providing a lovely atmosphere to immerse in nature. The rooms are comfortable and clean, although the hallway activity could be disruptive. The service is attentive and convenient for guests. The dining options offer a delightful setting with diverse choices, yet prices may not match the value. The setting enables quick access to the surrounding villages and stunning volcano views.

I couldn't ask for a better escape! The hotel boasts fabulous views over the lake, which can be enjoyed from hammocks slung outside the rooms or at numerous spots by the lake. However, there were some disturbances in the room like the hot tub and the hallway traffic. The service was top-notch with frequent check-ins and personalized bar orders. The location is simply unbelievable, offering a sense of exclusivity by boat on Lake Atitlan. Although the dining experience was a highlight, the set menu for dinner might not suit all tastes. The facilities were well-kept and added to the overall experience.

The hotel offers brilliant views over the lake and clean, homely rooms, but lacks essential amenities like AC and TV. The service is warm and welcoming, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The location is amazing, surrounded by botanical gardens and with great activities nearby. The dining experience is delightful but may have pricing issues. Overall, a charming spot with some room for improvement.

The hotel is a charming place with beautiful Guatemalan decor throughout. The constant walkie talkie noises can be a bit distracting at times, but the ambiance is lovely. The service is top-notch and especially helpful when it comes to printing out boarding passes. The location offers stunning views of the volcanoes, perfect for exploring villages nearby, but the inconvenience of having to pay for meals in USD at their set exchange rate is a downside. Dining in such a delightful setting with versatile options is a highlight.

Rooms

The rooms are decorated with beautiful Guatemalan paintings, fabrics, and ceramics, creating a unique atmosphere. However, the constant walkie talkie noises and navigating numerous stairs can be a bit tiring.

The location enables quick access to surrounding villages and offers breathtaking views of the volcanoes. While the grounds are fabulous, being in the middle of nowhere can be inconvenient, especially with compulsory meal payments in USD and limited dining options.
Dining

Dining in the delightful setting with a variety of a la carte options is enjoyable. The pricing, with about £5 for meals and £13 for a 3-course dinner, offers decent value for the quality of food.

The property boasts good communal areas and a lovely morning/afternoon cake selection. However, the necessity of paying for meals via a private PayPal account may not suit all guests.
