Hotels in Guatemala

Our stay at Lake Atitlán was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty—the kind that instantly makes you slow down and appreciate where you are. Waking up to the calm lake and lush greenery each morning felt almost surreal. The food was an absolute highlight. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor, making it something we genuinely looked forward to each day. Dining in such a peaceful, natural setting made the experience even more special. What truly set this stay apart was the sense of adventure and excitement woven into the experience—it felt like a bit of a hidden gem, with moments that were surprising, unique, and memorable in the best way. The space itself was comfortable, well cared for, and perfectly integrated into the surroundings, allowing us to fully disconnect and relax. If you’re looking for a place that combines incredible scenery, delicious food, and a one-of-a-kind experience, this is it. We would absolutely come back.

We loved our stay at Finca San Cayetano! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially towards our toddler. Breakfast with a view of the volcano was pure paradise—we could have stayed another week! The animal farm, playground, and playroom were fantastic additions, offering plenty of entertainment for our little one.

This place truly exceeded my expectations! Douglas and Daria are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts, both with a very calm and soothing energy. Douglas helped organize trips and shuttles, making everything easy and stress-free. Daria is always happy to assist and loves sharing her knowledge about the local fauna and flora. They have a wonderful team: four sisters who prepare incredibly flavorful, fresh dishes every day, and Victoria, whose vibrant personality makes guests feel completely at home (she also makes amazing margaritas!). Every day at 4PM, Douglas takes Oso, their lovely dog, on his daily ‘walk’ on the barking boat. Don’t miss this because it’s unique and so much fun! They also own a gentle black cat named Pedro. The other guests were great company as well. We even went on a day trip together, and in the evenings we shared dinners followed by long after-dinner conversations and games. I stayed in the little hut above the dock. It can get a bit humid and there are some bugs, but that’s part of the ‘camping’ vibe, or rather glamping. The view from the hut is amazing! There are also plenty of cozy communal spaces to relax. Overall, it felt like a warm and familiar experience. It was a perfect and relaxing way to end my holidays in Guatemala, and exactly the reason why I chose to book this place.

Amazing place. The room was spacious and beautiful. The service was great

Beautiful hotel in perfect location with a lovely sun trap rooftop where you can have breakfast. Everything works! Best hot shower of our three weeks in Guatemala. Ask for a heater to take the edge off the room temperature at night. Even the heaters are perfect. Completely soundless and effective. We’d definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

This was the absolute highlight of our trip. The setting is simply breathtaking—nestled in the jungle on the shores of the lake, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that feels like paradise. The facilities are top-notch, and during our stay the resort was a little on the quiet side, which made the experience even more enjoyable, exclusive, and secluded. It felt like having our own private corner of paradise. The breakfast and dinner included with our stay were delicious, with excellent quality and variety. The entire team was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always willing to help with anything we needed. We honestly wished we could have stayed longer. We also appreciated their flexibility with checkout, allowing us to continue enjoying the facilities after our room departure time. The staff went above and beyond by helping us organize our visit to Tikal, which was an amazing experience, and arranging our transfers to and from Flores seamlessly. Everything was handled effortlessly from start to finish. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique, relaxing, and unforgettable stay in Guatemala. Simply paradise.

What amazing hotel. This was my second time in Atitlan and last time I made the mistake of staying in a larger village. This time I chose a smaller village and Aviva hotel, and it was the perfect choice. The room was incredible, comfy bed, stunning views, tasty coffee and a terrace to relax. And the breakfast was sooo good. Run, don't walk to stay here if you visit lake atitlan.
