Espectacular!
Pros:

Muy pintoresco! Todo impecable, muy amable el personal. El desayuno incluido no es buffet, es a la carta. El pueblo es muy pequeño pero más lindo que Panajachel y salen embarcaciones hacia el resto de los pueblos. La comida del restaurante está bien.

Cons:

Más caro contratar excursión privada desde el hotel que desde el puerto por nuestra parte.

Pros:

Amazing location close to the lake in Santa Catarina. The hotel was beautiful, with stunning views of the lake, lovely green areas, and a great setting. The rooms were very nice, and overall it was a fantastic place to stay.

Cons:

The breakfast was just ok, and since we stayed in a room above the restaurant/bar, music was played quite early in the morning, which made it a bit noisy. It would be great if the volume could be lowered to make it more comfortable for guests staying above to rest well.

Opção tranquila e relaxante
Pros:

O alojamento é muito bem decorado e as piscinas (especialmente a aquecida) são algo muito positivo.
O restaurante também tem comida boa, com opções locais e com um ambiente excelente.

Cons:

A hora de check in foi bastante rígida.
As cortinas são claras e portanto a luz entra muito cedo no quarto, tornando-o também bastante quente.
Para a proposta de hotel que é estão em falta algumas comodidades como ar condicionado ou secador de cabelo.
A localização, Santa Catarina, é perfeita para quem quer fugir à confusão de Panajachel, ainda assim deixa este hotel num ponto um pouco isolado. A melhor maneira de lá chegar é apanhando um tuk tuk de Panajachel.
As lanchas que existem são privadas e portanto muito mais caras que aquelas que estão disponíveis em Panajachel.
O que para nós funcionou muito bem foi desde o primeiro dia, conseguimos um contacto de um tuk tuk e fomos mantendo o contacto com ele para para estas viagens.

We really enjoyed staying at the hotel - the beds are comfy, the scenery is beautiful, and the staff are all very kind!
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Santa Catarina. It was nice to be super close to Panajachel but still in more of a quiet neighborhood village setting. Our room had beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was also very cute and comfy. Being able to use the pool was a highlight!

Cons:

The bathroom window doesn’t close and somewhere in the neighborhood someone was burning stuff and the smoke got into our room at times and irritated my husband’s throat. I don’t think it’s the hotels fault and was probably bad timing but just something to note!

Pros:

Despertar con la vista al volcán.

Cons:

Está a las afueras de Panajachel en el pueblo de Santa Catarina. Tienes que tomar en cuenta que las lanchas públicas a los pueblos mas visitados del Lago salen desde Panajachel y por lo tanto debes tomar un tuk tuk todos los días para llegar
