I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms have traditional furnishings with nice decor and great views upstairs, along with a fantastic bathroom. The service was exceptional, especially the attentive staff at the reception desk. The location is superb, nestled within a beautifully tended garden in the heart of Panajachel. Dining offered big salads at reasonable prices, though the white bread was not the best. Overall, a great value for money experience.
