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

Pros:

It was situated in a small town near Panajachel, the grounds were gorgeous. We got the lake view I would skip it. Save your $. Lake view is visible on the balconies. The room also had a funny smell and did stick to our clothes the next day but overall it was a very nice property. We did not try their food as we had brunch the next day at Kinnick. If you can get there DO NOT MISS OUT! We met people in Antigua who had food here and they said it was so good. I honestly believe them but we only stayed one night and checked in late so we really didn’t get to enjoy it thoroughly. Again beautiful property in a quiet area of town.

Cons:

The smell in the room.

Estadia excelente em Lago Atitlan.
Pros:

Tudo foi perfeito, desde as instalações que são exatamente iguais as fotos, até o atendimento de todos os funcionários sem exceção. Em especial o atendimento do Osman no restaurante, super simpático e pronto para atender. A localização é ótima podendo chegar de tuktuk desde Panajachel e um pueblo muito acolhedor e aconchegante.

Cons:

Nada
