Lake Petén Itzá is a great place to escape from the fast pace of daily life. See if any water activities are on offer here, or just enjoy the calm ambiance.

This body of water is often on the itineraries of visitors to Petén. But Lake Petén Itzá isn't the only drawcard in the area. Petencito Zoo, and Cuevas de Ak'tun Kan are some other worthwhile attractions close by.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (248 reviews)

Gorgeous, stunning property. Isolated however easily accessible via boat to the main land. There are a lot of amenities such as kayaking, paddle boating, hiking and a spa. It’s an amazing getaway, removed from all the excitement and noisiness on the mainland of Flores. The staff is amazing - so attentive and they made themselves easily accessible to answer any questions and fulfill any requests. They organized my trip to Tikal with transportation, a guide and food. They also organized a breakfast box for me for 2 days in a row due to having to leave early and miss the sit down breakfast. The restaurant had some tasty options for dinner. Overall a great hotel that I would definitely recommend and would visit again
