Top Panajachel Hotel Reviews

Hotel Atitlán

Hotel Atitlán

8/10 Good
"This hotel was breathtaking. Very well maintained. The pool was amazing. The staff was great. The only issue I had was that with all the plants comes bugs. I didn’t realize until our last day all the little black ants in our bed. My daughter had bug bites all over her arm. I did not bring this up with the staff because I figured it comes with the territory and we were only there 2 nights. Another thing is no air conditioning. This is on their website so it was not a surprise and although the nights were cool just not cold enough for me. Again this is not the hotels fault. I would still recommend this place to others."
