Pros: The staff were extremely friendly, which still made the stay pleasant. The location is also great to walk around and explore the shops & grab meals (along with having the convenience of meals at the hotel). Cons: The jacuzzi wasn’t hot & the room was extremely hot & humid. We had to sleep with the deck door open and still we were hot. Also, there was no fridge in the room. Unfortunately, for the price this hotel wasn’t worth it.

The hotel has beautiful views of the lake and is very well located as a base to explore the towns around the lake. Very clean and modern rooms. My only complaint was that they are inflexible on check-in time (they allow early check-in and late check-out only if we pay a fee and don’t provide room upgrades even though both are supposed to be advantages of platinum status on the booking platform). Also there is no laundry service contrary to the description, which was a let down for a hotel of that caliber. Overall, I would stay here again though.

Place was clean … our room was very well maintained … very poor bar service and selection…no one on sight w bar experience. Restaurant food avg. and staff good .. front desk staff and guest service staff were not accommodating and really seemed like we were all more of a bother than a hotel guest. No pool service … had to go into bar and or restaurant to get food or drinks.

The hotel and service was great. Everyone was very helpful. AC was loud but still good. However the pool lounge chairs need to be replaced. They all were kinda broken down and sagging down in the middle. It’s a nice pool area and would be a lot nicer with decent lounge chairs.

Good but not great.

Amazing views of Lake Atlitan. The hotel wad nice inside but the room could get a little warm even with the portable air conditioning. The room was clean and comfortable enough. Hotel serving staff had good points and bad points. Some wait staff around the pool would forget to bring orders. The front desk is not at all accommodating. Food in the hotel restaurant was decent most nights but was very expensive for the buffets. The last night, the hotel threw a lovely event with kids entertainment and free drinks.

Lovely hotel, modern rooms, and good location. For the price, it’s a decent and comfort hotel and nicer than other places we have stayed in Panajachel in same price range. Lovely artwork inside. Amazing views of volcanos (see pic below from bed and from the balcony on 5th floor). Great bed and pillows. Lots of water. Friendly staff.

Good property, felt safe staying here and was convenient to the boardwalk and to the town. Beautiful views if you have a clear day of the volcanos and nice balconies. We didn't have time to enjoy the pool but it looked very relaxing. Room amenities could be improved no A/C and no safe in the room. The staff were helpful, but the VIP amenity said that you could get any 2 drinks for your stay, all I wanted was coffee and they made a big deal about this stating it was for alcoholic beverages/soda.. which are more expensive than coffee anyway! After a lot of back and forth they finally gave me my coffee.
