Beautiful property, a lot of outdoor spaces to relax, and convenient outdoor kitchen to store food and cook. Elaine and Lee were very kind and their pups were fun to hang out with! We loved being close to the water and having easy access to a hiking trail that lead us right to San Marcos!

Lake Front Cabin, hotel in Santa Cruz La Laguna

Providing a garden, Lake Front Cabin provides accommodations in Santa Cruz La Laguna. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi. On-site staff can arrange a shuttle service.

For those looking for a quiet escape, this place is amazing! Yes, it's a bit further from towns with restaurants, but there's a fully equipped kitchen to use for the most adorable pets looking for belly rubs; it's lovely and quaint. You can hire kayaks and paddle boards or take a morning plunge in the lake if you feel like it. The owners are always around in case you have any questions or issues. Overall, I had an amazing experience and didn't want to leave!

Hospedaje El Viajero, hotel in Santa Cruz La Laguna

Hospedaje El Viajero offers rustic-style building and a garden, located in the tropical town of Panajachel by the shores of Atitlán Lake. Free WiFi in all areas is available.

Awesome location right off Santander. Staff was friendly and they even had a talking parrot! I just spent one night after the long bus ride from Antigua, so not much else to say. Free coffee/tea and water were also a bonus!

    Beautiful views of the lake, close to Panajachel.

    Beautiful views of the lake, close to Panajachel. Rather quiet and not many options of restaurants and activities. There was a nice café/restaurant up in the village (you can take a tuktuk to go there) with good food and great views.

    A small, quiet town.

    A small, quiet town. For visitors there are a couple of hostels, numerous holiday homes and some options for dining out but visitors typically need to give notice ahead of time. Our family enjoyed a few meals at The Iguana Perdida and Holy Tortilla - both were great options and enjoyed by our family (toddler and teens included). We found the views from this town the most stunning and resting here was easy as it is quiet at night. If you prefer to be somewhere busy and don’t want to take a boat to get there, this is probably not the best fit for you. If you do book a casa in Santa Cruz, be sure to bring groceries from Pana as there are just small tiendas and minimal fresh foods for purchase.

    Santa Cruz is the pueblo way up the mountain.

    Santa Cruz is the pueblo way up the mountain. Down by the lake are some hotels, including 'Noah's Arc' where we stayed. The location is spectacular, with views across the lake to the volcanos. There are flowers everywhere. The lake is clear and clean for swimming. This is a perfect place to relax, watch clouds form over the volcanos and just re-tool.

    Great people -- I had an awesome time visiting the town a couple different nights while staying down near the docks -- get a tuk-tuk up and walk back down --- no problems at all. Everyone treated me very kindly. I want to return as soon as I have the opportunity. Santa Cruz La Laguna is beautiful, safe, and the people are friendly.

    Very small town with virtually nothing going on.

    Very small town with virtually nothing going on. It is very steep terrain so use a tuk-tuk to get up into town. Cecap has a great restaurant and gift shop but if you want to eat dinner out you must make a reservation by 3 or 5 PM depending on location ( there were like 3). If you are cooking your own food bring groceries with you from Pana or elsewhere, as the town is a food desert. The locals are about the nicest, warmest people you’d ever hope to meet. This is a wonderful tranquil base to explore all Lake Atitlan has to offer.

    The property is located smack in the middle of a 900person village that is not yet fully engulfed in tourism. So this is an excellent choice if you plan to take village community life in from the Lago Atitlan. Additionally it is only a 30-45min walk to Santa Cruz passing by Isla Verde and Casa del Mundo so nice views on other hotels and resorts. The Art&Coffee is a place in the making with forthcoming friendly staff and ideas for the future. We cannot account for how they will turn out but wish the owners all the best in realizing them.

    Everything was excellent, the view is beautiful and the location of the room meant you could sit comfortably to look out at it at every opportunity, resting in the room, or sitting for breakfast. Stunning!!! The room was spacious, with separate kitchenette, well equipped for preparing a simple meal. Armand and his team at the hotel, were so welcoming, everyone of them made us feel at home. We also enjoyed the meals, which were prepared and presented with great care, delicious!!!

    This place is incredible. We stayed in the treehouse suite which has everything you could need for a short stay. The view from the hotel is beautiful. The architecture is amazing. There is a path at the side so you can take a little walk along the lake to the neighbouring town and pass all the other beautiful hotels and gardens. Staff were great. Only had soup and dessert at the restaurant but was also still very good. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful view and location in a nice area on Lake Atitlan. Clemens was a great host and assisted in arranging private lanchas for arrival and departure. The kitchen facilities are nice to have and it is good to follow the suggestion to buy groceries in Panajachel before coming to the house. It is a very private location. Especially enjoyed the hammock and watching sunrises and sunsets from the porch.

    The hotel is absolutely beautiful and has an amazing view of the lake. There is a walking trail just below the property that will take you directly to kayak/paddle board rentals, souvenir shops and continues on to be a hiking trail. The restaurant serves a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner and have a nice happy hour everyday from 3-5 with drink selection.

    The most amazing hotel. From the staff, to the grounds, to the food and the service, this hotel was the most wonderful place. My fiancée asked me to marry him there and there genuinely would not have been a more special surrounding. Astrid was also amazing as were all the staff we interacted with. Thank you for an amazing stay!

    Perfect location! We had relaxing days right in the nature and really enjoyed it. You have the opportunity to rent kayaks and SUPs right in front of the property. There is also an awesome restaurant at hotel island verde which is only 2 minute away! We also loved to travel by the boats and visit the different towns.

    Beautiful location and property. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. In a secluded area which I liked but a short boat ride away to other parts of Lake Atitlan. Dinner and breakfast on the property were very good. Would love to come back.
