Pros:

Big room, big bed, hot shower, good breakfast and nice hotel area. Also enjoyed the onsite yoga class.

Cons:

Despite booking a suite, it wasn’t very exclusive with other hotel guests sitting on our patio chairs regularly. Pretty noisy, so would recommend ear plugs.

El merecido descanso después de muchos días viajando por Guate
Pros:

Las bellas instalaciones y comodidad. Venía por 2 noches, pero me quede 3. Destaco por sobre todo la atención del personal, tanto de recepción, en particular Josefa, quien fue muy amable, pero también el personal del restoran. El desayuno buffet es de otro nivel.

Cons:

Todo perfecto.

Would recommend to friends for a peaceful stay.
Pros:

The property is beautiful. Lovely pool and rooms. Very attentive and friendly staff. I stayed in multiple hotels in Guatemala this was the best. The member of staff working at the restaurant pool area who wears the red hat is a real asset to the resort he was constantly running around and managed to be fun and patient even with my friend who was a little drunk.

Cons:

As there isn’t AC the rooms they have a large ventilation strip along top of the glass front. This means noise come in as well as cigarette smoke if someone choosing to sit on your balcony area. The balcony areas by the pool seem to be used by everyone rather then just the room it belongs to. A roped off area around those or sign on the tables may solve this. There needs to be a couple more sun beds and there were no umbrellas for the sun beds. With the resort offering day entry bed could get full quickly. Maybe some reserved for actual guests would be a good idea. Room 1 requires a lamp and new shower head but it felt much more private then room 13 by the pool.

Superb location with a calming attitude
Pros:

The location of the resort was probably one of the best in San Pedro. Our room was at pool level and when we opened the door anytime of the day the pool and calm waters of Lake Atitlan waited for us. The room was large enough. The breakfast had good selection in a buffet, main plate order system.

Cons:

The wifi could have been a bit stronger but we managed it. Parking was paid in a pretty dusty lot.

Great facilities, but not so clean.
Pros:

Comfortable beds with curtains.

Free breakfast was the best I’ve ever seen at a hostel.

Pool was really nice and a great place to relax.

Food at the property for purchase was tasty!

Cons:

Really dirty bathrooms in the dorm. They would get cleaned mid afternoon before check-in and by the end of the evening the bathrooms would stink like urine so bad to the point that I had to use the pool bathroom a couple times as it made me feel nauseous. The property would benefit from more cleanings of the rooms or better ventilation. Additionally, by the sink there was several items that had just been left there seemingly for weeks. In the time that I was there, there was a can of beer that did not get touched by housekeeping lol..,

Shower was difficult to use. The temperature was a bit inconsistent.

Not the most social place. Thankfully I got lucky and there was a few good people in my room, but it’s a really strange mix of people who stay there. I feel like a lot of people stay just for the cheap accommodation not wanting to socialize?

Lovey hotel in San Pedro
Pros:

Breakfast was great. Pool area was nice. Good location.

Cons:

We had a room near the pool and it was very loud with music from the bar. Also, loud from people using the toilets outside, it kinda made our balcony unpleasant to sit at.

LINDO LUGAR
Pros:

El lugar es muy bonito, desayuno incluido completo, buenas instalaciones y limpio. Esta en una ubicacion "lejos" del ruido de fiesta asi que puedes descansar bien, al final es un pueblo pequeño asi que puedes caminar si quieres fiesta.

Cons:

Solicite una cama que estaba disponible en la parte inferior ya que me habia lastimado la pierna y me la negaron, de igual manera las camas superiores son complicadas para subir ya que no tienen ambas partes de agarre y debes sostenerte con la cama para evitarte caer, mas en mi caso que estaba lastimada. Las puertas de la regadera son de madera y tienen moho.

Bello y acogedor hotel. Rico desayuno
Pros:

El hotel muy lindo, se notaba que fue decorado con cariño. El desayuno delicioso, una mezcla entre continental y comida típica de la zona. Las piezas lindas y con bonita vista. Es de los hoteles más lindos de San Pedro.

Cons:

-El tiempo para hacer "room service" era solo entre 11-12 que me parece muy poco cuando uno está de vacaciones.
-San Pedro es un lugar bullicioso de noche y el hotel además tiene un bar cerca, asi que no es recomendable para las personas que quieren "silencio".

Was good, but probably wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Great location in san pedro, easy to walk to everything and close to the water. Large lovely pool. Delicious buffet breakfast and coffee! The beds were very comfortable
Hot water to shower with!

Cons:

We had a private suite (14) they placed us right beside the pool and hostal bathrooms so we constantly had traffic and noise. When sitting on our patio we had to smell the bathrooms.

There was gum stuck to our floor in the bathroom.

Honestly, it seems this is a very nice resort but it needs some upgrades for the price paid.

Great stay in a quiet part of San Pedro. Walkable distance to main area.
Pros:

The dorms were really nice, the breakfast was amazing! Overall a great stay 😊

Cons:

They didn’t have soap in the dorm room bathrooms, hopefully this is something they can add.
