El Chal Vacations from $374

This property was stunning, pictures don't show its true beauty. The staff was so attentive and amazing, the pool, the views, everything about it was absolutely amazing for the price.

Loved the Staff, everything was on time, food was great, amazing experience. La Villa is amazing, it fits up to 8 people and it's really big and comfortable.

It is an amazing place with super friendly staff! The boat tour to the monkeys island is great!!

The staff was very friendly and accomodating we arrived at 9 in the morning from Guatemala City, ate breakfast there (which was fabulous), and they allowed us to stow our suitcases behind the counter until we could checkin. We went and toured the main plaza of the temples and came back and they allowed us to check in about an hour early. The room was tidy and the beds comfortable. All three of us (me, wife, and son) used the hammock on the porch at various times and loved it. We ate three meals at the restaurant and everything was delicious. The one knock off was the water in the bathroom. My son has been living in Guatemala for the last 2 years, and is basically a native now. Even he couldnt figure out the shower. What little water we got was absolutely frigid, and very low pressure. He went and asked at the desk for help (he's fluent) and they couldn't do anything to help, I guess. 8/10 and will stay again.

This hotel has exceeded all my expectations. It is truly a hidden gem. The prices are reasonable, the rooms are clean with all necessary modern amenities, yet seem set in the past with beautiful views from private patios overlooking the picturesque lake and rainforest. I've stayed in a luxury suite comparable to any 5 star hotel in the U.S., almost too nice for me yet still affordable, and I moved to a smaller bungalow with a nice view, more reminiscent of rooms I stayed in years ago, as I've extended my stay for a couple more weeks. The food is incredible and even plated and prepared as though by top restauranteurs in the city. The management and staff are very friendy and the grounds are well groomed yet retain the natural beauty of the Peten rainforest. It will be difficult to leave this paradise.
