Beautiful but not worth the price. Go here if you enjoy doing nothing but birdwatching.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and the highlight of my stay! The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very cute. I loved the paint kit they provided. Gorgeous landscaping on the property. Kinnik restaurant was incredible.

Cons:

The location is very far from everything and all the food is extremely over priced on the property. I was also expecting to have air conditioning in the room, especially considering the price point. My shower was dirty and had some sand on the floor and bugs on my floor and soap holder. There’s no place to fill up any water bottles yourself ( I drink a lot of water) so I had to keep messaging and asking for more water to my room. There is nothing walkable except Kinnik, so be prepared to just stay put. There are no TVs in the room either and an extremely small not well stocked gym. They told me there was a hot tub and another pool, but no one ever showed me where it was they just kept pointing and I tried looking for it for an hour one night and never found it. Over all, disappointed with my stay and wouldn’t recommend. For the same price point there are way better options! But if you just want to lay back and bird watch this is a perfect spot. Everything is way over priced though be prepared. I asked about a yoga class and they said it would be $185USD. I’ve been all over the world and I have never heard such an obnoxious price in any other country. Same for their cooking class. Just go into town and you can take one for 30-40$USD at this place it was almost $200. I just don’t like feeling like a place is milking me for money. Also at the end of my stay they added on an extra charge that they said they give back to the community. I had asked them to remove it, I just buy local goods that’s how I give back to the community. They didn’t remove the charge and it was another situation where I felt taken advantage of here. Very disappointing overall.

Do not stay anywhere else when visiting Lake Atitlán
Pros:

Every detail of the hotel was amazing. The food, service, location, and views were amazing. All of the staff was so sweet and polite. Whenever I come back to Guatemala I will certainly book at this hotel.

Excelente hotel
Pros:

Desayuno, la vista, las instalaciones como la piscina, la villa, en general todo el hotel

Cons:

Creo que para el nivel esperado del hotel el mantenimiento de algunos muebles necesita ser más ciudado. En nuestra habitación había una silla con el mimbre roto y la tapicería de la silla sucia, las cortinas te tenían argollas rotas, en fin, son detalles pequeños fáciles de ciudad.

Not worth the price - excellent location - poor hospitality.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is fantastic with the view of the lake.

Cons:

For a hotel at this price point, the service and overall experience fell noticeably short of expectations.

The property promotes thoughtful touches like morning and evening “rejuvenation drinks,” yet this was only offered on the first day and never followed through during the remainder of our stay. Small inconsistencies like this detract from what should feel like a meticulously curated experience.

We arrived from an overnight volcano hike, and understandably had muddied body and clothes and used a face towel to clean up. Being charged a $30 fee for a soiled towel felt excessive and out of line with the level of hospitality one expects from a luxury hotel. Having traveled extensively across 38 countries, this was a first for me —and not in a good way.
The included breakfast was also underwhelming. Offering only a basic continental selection (fruit and beverages) seems disproportionate to the nightly rate, where a more substantial and elevated breakfast experience should be standard.

Lastly, while the on-site helipad is initially a novelty, it quickly becomes a nuisance. Frequent helicopter arrivals and departures disrupted the peaceful, tranquil atmosphere we were seeking.

Overall, while the setting has potential, the service, attention to detail, and guest experience do not currently justify the premium price.

Pros:

The service was amazing! The pools are beautiful. I loved the pillow menu and daily cacao

Cons:

The property is basically a town of its own. 20 minutes from pana & the bed wasn’t comfortable

Hotel bleibt in Erinnerung
Pros:

Wunderschöne Lage, etwas erhöht über dem See. Tolle Aussicht! Sehr gutes Essen. Spitzen Personal, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Zwei Restaurants - eines davon direkt am See, Fine Dining, mit einem Hoteleigenen Aufzug zu erreichen.

Relaxing and stunning.
Pros:

Everything. The location, facilities and staff were superb. The interior decor was quirky but brilliant.

Cons:

For us there was nothing we didn’t like, but be warned there are a lot of steps if you want to use the infinity pool.

Visually stunning, but lacked the luxury service that could have made it truly special for the price
Pros:

Absolutely stunning location, views and room decor. Our room had a bathtub on the balcony, which was divine. Everything was beautifully appointed, including the common areas. Loved taking out kayaks/paddleboards on the lake (included in the stay).

Cons:

Felt a bit nickel and dimed at times, especially for the price we were paying. Breakfast was a “continental breakfast” - which was just coffee, juice, two pats of butter and bread. For the price, would have been nice to have a real breakfast. Additionally- felt like there were a few missed opportunities - why don’t light a bonfire in the evening by the lake for guests to enjoy? Would have been lovely - even when we asked for it, we got confused looks.

I wish the staff cared more about the overall experience, especially if it’s someone’s birthday.
Pros:

The property ground are gorgeous.

Cons:

The rooms are a bit outdated in terms of air conditioning and technology. It is on a mountain so be aware it’s quite elevated and there are a lot of stairs.

Impresionante
Pros:

Me encantó la vista desde el área de descanso que está afuera del lobby, la vista desde la habitación está obstruida por árboles y prácticamente no se ve nada. La cama era muy cómoda.

Cons:

Que la habitación era muy caliente y el AC está mal posicionado, no era suficiente, y eso que fui en temporada “fría”.
