Fairytale views
Pros:

Looks exactly like the pictures - beautiful gardens and views. Many corners and nooks with seating or hammocks to relax.
Staff was very attentive and carried our luggage from the dock to the room (there are many many steep steps).
The room and shared bathroom were clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The food was average at best and expensive. Better options in Jaibalito (10min walk).

Payment only possible in Quetzales or US dollars - no card payment! 10% gratuity is added to the final bill as well.

Desappointing
Pros:

It does look like the pictures and the staff is nice.

Cons:

The price for one night is a bit expensive for what it is. I had a twin bedroom with a shared bathroom. And having to queue for the bathroom at that price is just not right.

I did not like the fact that I had to pause at every stairs on the way to my room because some Instagram girlies were blocking the way to take some photos. It's at every corner of the hotel. It feels like a set for influencers. The "day pass" people were annoying with their photos and videos all the time.

I was really appalled by the "mandatory tip" at the restaurant, that was not mentionned prior. 10% of your bill is added to the total. I have never seen that before in Guatemala. This is clearly an over charge inspired by the US. As a French, I hate it.

I also did not like the fact that they had their own exchange rate at the hotel written on a piece of paper. Just screams "scam" to me. But maybe that's just me...

Très bien mais prévoir un sacré budget
Pros:

L’endroit est magnifique. C’est fait avec goût et c’est très reposant.

Cons:

Les repas sont hors de prix pour ce que c’est. Surtout qu’il est interdit de ramener sa propre nourriture donc on est obligé d’ailleurs a leur restaurant avec des horaires très restreints. La moindre activité aussi coûte cher et on nous impose un tips sur le prix de la chambre ... Déjà que l’on paye la chambre plutôt cher, ça commence à faire beaucoup.

Estuvo bien pero pueden mejorar
Pros:

Las instalaciones del hotel son espectaculares muy ordenado muy aseado excelentes vistas, los jardines y plantas muy bien cuidadas la habitación donde nos hospedamos estaba perfecta. El personal asi como la gran mayoría de Guatemaltecos muy amables me gusto la idea de que quieren ser 100 % auto sostenibles.

Cons:

- Al final de la estadía suman el valor total de las noches junto con el consumo del hotel para sacar el mayor porcentaje de propina cuando esto solo debería ser por el consumo que pésima decision cobrar de esta manera
- La comida es muy regular
-Que no reciban tarjeta y lo recuerdan desde la llegada e incluso desde la reservación pero es importante que se habilite ese metodo de pago siendo un hotel en medio de la laguna que recibe mucho visitante extranjero

Lugar agradable pero te agregan 10% a TODO
Pros:

El paisaje

Cons:

Cuando hice la reserva en booking me mostró un precio y al llegar, te dicen que se paga todo al final del hospedaje, para luego cobrar un 10% extra de propina sobre el consumo y el hospedaje también, lo cual, no debería ser así porque en booking ya te dan un precio.
Los baños y duchas quedan lejos, hay que subir muchas gradas. Es un lugar bonito, pero un pass day es suficiente.
No vale la pena hospedarse.

A definite must do
Pros:

This location is absolutely spectacular. Lots of areas to relax in beautiful views of the volcanoes and absolute must do.

Cons:

Unfortunately, I found the beds quite uncomfortable and the fact that they don’t take credit card was annoying.
