Hotel Atitlán

10/10 Excellent
"Nuestra estadía en el Hotel Atitlán fue una de las mejores experiencias de hospedaje que hemos tenido. Un hotel espectacular, con vistas impresionantes al lago y sus volcanes, jardines impecables, hermosas obras de arte y una atención excepcional en cada detalle. Lo que realmente hizo memorable nuestra visita fue su extraordinario equipo humano. Queremos agradecer especialmente a Diego, el chef, quien cada mañana nos saludaba y se interesaba por nuestra experiencia. Su amabilidad fue increíble y, sin duda, fue en este hotel donde disfrutamos de la mejor gastronomía de todo nuestro viaje por Guatemala. También queremos destacar a Carlos, del restaurante, por su excelente servicio, profesionalismo y genuina amabilidad. Siempre estuvo atento a nuestras necesidades, cuidando cada detalle y haciéndonos sentir verdaderamente bien atendidos. Su vocación de servicio marcó una diferencia durante nuestra estadía. Un reconocimiento muy especial a Julio, del servicio de tuk-tuk, quien fue una de las personas que más recordaremos de nuestra visita. Su personalidad tan agradable, su disposición para ayudarnos y su excelente trato hicieron que nuestro recorrido a Santa Catarina Palopó fuera mucho más que un simple traslado. Nos acompañó a conocer el pueblo y convirtió esa experiencia en uno de los recuerdos más bonitos de nuestro viaje. También tuvimos el gusto de conocer a doña Sue quien fue sumamente amable y cercana con nosotros. Esperamos volver pronto!!!"

"This hotel is a bit more rustic than perhaps the profile shows. The staff are nice, rooms clean though quite dark, shower water is warm not hot. One important thing to note: if you have mobility issues, this is not the hotel for you. It’s a bit of a walk that tuktuks and cars cannot cover, and uneven stairs up a bit of a hill. They have a jacuzzi but it’s a bit expensive to use (200Qs for an hour)."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is very unique with outstanding views and beautiful gardens. The house was very large and far more than we needed for 3 people. I would say that this is not a place to stay if you have young children . Stairs are open and the second floor porch is beautiful but nothing to stop a child from going over the edge. Great place for adults. The host was excellent about communicating check in , location, details about getting to the property. Outstanding!I loved this place. I truly had a hard time leaving"
