This place I seriously a hidden gem! Spectacular views and convenient with children since it’s such a family friendly facility and even without kids, it’s a little oasis. Easily my favorite spot in all Atitlan so far.

the beds were pretty uncomfortable, the rooms didn’t seem very well taken care of the sink had a weird smell because of the mold build up on the sink. the floor of the shower & bathroom
had mold and seem very dirty as if it weren’t well cleaned as well as the room itself held a very strong smell. the restaurant provided good food as well as presentation and taste, I enjoyed the views and how helpful they were with getting transported to the other side of the lake, I tried to get in the pool but the maintenance wasn’t good enough to get in.

Great place for relax and increíble views beautiful gardens and excellent service, friendly staff and big rooms the only big inconvenience is the road to get there the town has very small Allies so the chance to get stuck there is very big be careful and recommend a lighted sign to the hotel because at night is very hard to see

Both the hotel and their restaurant are excellent
Large room, friendly and helpful staff, good wifi, filtered water available in hallway, quiet.
The food at the restaurant was excellent both for breakfast and dinner.
Beautiful grounds. Pathways weave from hotel rooms, past the pool to the waterfront. We loved to spend time there as it was so peaceful. The only thing missing was comfortable chairs.
Very relaxing stay, we would be happy to return.

The grounds are lovely but there are many old cement fountains which need repair. The rooms are spacious and comfortable however the floors need a thorough and regular cleaning. All staff were amazingly helpful and welcoming.

I have traveled to Atitlan before but never to Santiago. The hotel is located conveniently near the main port to catch public/private boat shuttles, and is near the bustling side of town. Santiago is predominately residential but has it share of restaurants and shopping that are run by Mayan business owners; something not often found in other towns. Santiago was definitely quieter then most Atitlan towns, and is safe.

In every aspect, the hotel looks neat. Clean and spacious rooms, good food, location near the market and traditional arts shops, close to the main beach.
The swimming pool is clean, and the hotel has its own lake beach.

We had an amazing stay in Santiago Atitlán! The room was super spacious with four comfortable beds, very clean, and had a beautiful view overlooking the lake. The location is perfect — right in the heart of Atitlán. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, especially Aldo, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lake Atitlán! 🌿💙

It is such a beautiful property. It is like an estate with all kinds of flowers and plants. It is difficult to see such a beautiful place. The hotel room is little bearbone. But the surrounding property makes it a worthy stay.

Besides gps taking me down a one way narrow street, getting to hotel was easy. They have onsite secured parking. The hotel property is spacious and maintained well. They arranged a local tour guide which was nice, but cost extra and worth it. We ate at restaurant onsite for three meals good food and service. Definitely recommend!
