San Jose Peten is known for its beaches and restaurants, and entices visitors with popular attractions including Tikal National Park and Biotopo Cerro Cahui.
You might want to get your camera out and head to Yaxha Archaeological Site— just one of the landmarks located 1.1 mi (1.7 km) from central Laguna Yaxhá.
If you like quiet time surrounded by flowers and greenery, hang out at Las Guacamayas Biological Station in Isla de Flores. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Central Park, located nearby.
This is amazing hotel. The service is top quality. Employees are friendly and very helpful. We stayed at a room with king bed. It's three times the size of a regular hotel room. Our room was overlooking the lake behind the reception. Behind the water is an amazing forest view. I preferred it to the rooms overlooking the bigger lake on the other side of the property. You can relax in the hot tub watching the forest, listening to the howling monkey shout. Such a unique experience.. If you are a...

Beautiful, relaxing spot. Families with children were noisy, but other than that, we had a very relaxing and accommodating stay. Lake is lovely for swimming.

We spent 2 weeks touring Guatemala, attracted by its natural beauty and the Mayan civilization. Hotel Bolontiku is one of our best part. Initially we didn't know that it's a hidden jewel on the lake. We took a taxi following Google Map. It is very wrong - the hotel would pick us up at the port of Flores!
The hotel with 15 suites were built on the cliff, with each suite hidden in the trees. The view is fabulous. The environment is so natural and serene. Yet, we got high speed internet and...

The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable, A/C was on point! Two things I would add is a mini fridge and an iron so it can be fully complete other than that the place is quiet and amazing!

We loved out stay at Casa de Don David! The grounds are beautiful and the rooms were comfortable for our visit to Tikal. The food was also delicious. The staff helped us arrange a driver for airport pickup and dropoff as well as transportation to and from Tikal. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Beautiful setting for a hotel, on the beach of Lake Peten Itza and inside the Guatemalan rainforest! You can see and hear howling monkeys on the way to your room!

Not too small. Not too big. But the rooms are nicely-sized. And while the hotel does not have central air conditioning, the in-room units are powerful, which is an absolute necessity (for me, at least) in the very hot, very humid rain forest of the Peten. The rooftop bar is a lively place to be in town, but it quiets down very nicely when it is time to go sleep. The rooftop pool is small, but (a) the hotel is not that big, it won't be crowded, and (b) it's big enough for cooling dip when the...

The docks that are pictured in the photos are submerged underwater and have been for some time as they are very slippery and covered in algae but the property is still very usable and extremely beautiful. The staff was so kind and attentive and they let us stay on the property 5 hours past our checkout time until our flights were leaving! The food from the restaurant and the drinks from the bar were absolutely delightful. We loved our stay here and would absolutely go back again.

Property was right in front of entrance to Tikal, overall great service, they have complimentary water in room, guided tours were friendly but the restaurant food was alright could be better but overall the experience was amazing! Great sense of nature and the outdoors!

The hotel, consisting of separate cabanas, is conveniently located on a main road near Flores, Guatemala. We arrived in a high-roof van with a roof rack and were able to access the property without any issues. We greatly enjoyed the grilled dinner for 4. The pool was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

The property was amazing.. the staff was great. A gem in an unlikely location. Although there was no other hotel like it around, it was a 5-7 minute drive to the Island of Flores where all the night life and restaurants are. Would definitely come again.

What a great place. Our room (two twin beds) were just as pictured, clean and with mosquito nets. The hotel is a stone's throw away from the entrance to the park. The food is a bit pricey so we opted for some small stands outside the hotels by the center and a comedor near the parking lot for lunch. No complaints about the hotel. Has a foosball and pool table and even a mini theater. Electricity isnt always on, during certain hours, but that wasnt an issue in the slightest. I would come...
