My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were cozy, clean, and had a stunning view of Lake Atitlan and the pool. The staff was friendly and helpful in arranging transport, although a bit lackluster in attention at times. The location was absolutely perfect, overlooking the lake and in a quiet, picturesque village. Dining was a delightful experience with a view, although some refurbishment is needed. The facilities were great overall.

The staff were nice and helpful, especially in arranging transport. However, they could have been more attentive, particularly when it came to the Santa Catarineca G & T. The wait staff could step up their game.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel! The rooms with balconies are lovely, and most of them on the ground floor have a veranda which adds to the charm. The area above reception and the restaurant was very inviting. However, the location, while beautiful with flowers and exotic plants, was a bit inconvenient being on the outskirts of Santa Catarina Palopó.

The hotel offers cozy and comfortable rooms with stunning views of the lake and volcanoes, although the rooms are small. The service is top-notch, with very professional and attentive staff. Perfect location for exploring nearby volcanoes and natural reserves, despite being a bit removed from the town. The dining options are good, with quick service, but the breakfast is somewhat standard. Overall a great value for money.

I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel. The rooms are cozy and comfortable with breathtaking views of the lake and volcanoes. The service was fantastic, with attentive staff always ready to assist. The location, while excellent, required a short journey to access public transportation. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the terrace overlooking the lake and volcanoes.

The hotel is situated a bit removed from Panajachel, which has its advantages, but can be a bit inconvenient for visiting other areas around the lake. The rooms are average in size with tired decor but offer very comfy beds and great showers. The service is exceptional, with staff entirely devoted to their job and always attentive to guests' needs. The location in the center of Santa Catarina Palopó adds charm, and the dining experience, although a bit small in portion size, includes tasty options like tropical fruits.
