It was in a good location between the lake and the town so very easy to get around There are two swimming pools, and a great garden area The dining room area is colourful, the staff very good, and cocktails and food very good.

“Beautiful spot, but watch out for extra charge for bed”

This is a beautiful location and the hotel is picturesque. The pool was the highlight for my two children, especially the thermal pool.

This is a beautiful location and the hotel is picturesque. The pool was the highlight for my two children, especially the thermal pool. While we had a nice stay, I think it is important for other families to know that the rooms are small and the "semi-matrimonial" beds are even smaller. They are not meant for two adults, at least not comfortably. What was most upsetting was that once we saw the size of the beds, we requested a separate roll-away to be brought in and they said it would be a charge of $20/night. This was never disclosed to us, even though when we made the reservations we specified that we were 4 people (2 adults and 2 children). I asked why the posted sign in the lobby stated the charge was $15, but they still insisted on charging $20 per night for the one bed. Management did not seem to hear my suggestion. While we enjoyed our stay and the restaurant staff was wonderful, we were disappointed in the extra charge and lack of response from management.

“Authentic vibes and a bit off the main Atitlan circle”

Santa Catarina Palopo is a bit off the main circle around lake Atitlan and cannot even be accessed by public boats, only more expensive private lanchas. The other option is a tuk-tuk to reach it from Panajachel in around 15-20 minutes. The hotel is very close to the waterfront and the first level r… lisää

Santa Catarina Palopo is a bit off the main circle around lake Atitlan and cannot even be accessed by public boats, only more expensive private lanchas. The other option is a tuk-tuk to reach it from Panajachel in around 15-20 minutes. The hotel is very close to the waterfront and the first level rooms offer great lakeviews. This tiny village is home to some of the best weaving in Guatemala and such artisanal work is the main decoration around the hotel giving it a real authentic feel. Staff spoke some minimal English but knowing Spanish is definitely a huge plus here. This would be a great place for guests who don’t want to wonder around much, just enjoy lovely hospitality surrounded by lakeviews and mountains for a few days.
