We booked a private room in this hostel. Clean, spacious and right next to the lake. Easy access to the hostel and its facilities if that’s your thing.

The hosts and the good work they do in the community, the lovely location, views, access to kayaks, private dock. The pets, the open/outdoors kitchen. The fact that the host live on the property and are accessible, but you have just enough privacy and can relax in such a comfortable and gorgeous space.
During your time at this recently renovated homestay, which dates back to 2023, you'll have access to free Wifi.

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!

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!

the hotel was absolutely beautiful!! the staff were all amazing and the all of the food especially the smoothies were so yummy! there def is lotsss of stairs which I knew before going but once you're there it is TIRING! if you are planning to explore other nearby towns in lake atitlan u have to be mindful of doing it earlier in the day so that u don't miss the last public boat as the private ones can get expensive. the only downside was that since u cannot flush the toilet paper, the bathroom didn't smell too great but it was cleaned regularly.
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.
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!
This is a fine luxury hotel. Staff is very attentive since the very begging. The house is magical. It has several different areas where you can relax or havings meals. Our experience was truly amazing. Food is good, but no amazing but is always well presented. You cant miss the JC french toast, that is the best french toaste ive ever had. Wine list is small but good. Juan Carlos, Ariel y Maria were wonderful
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.
La Iguana Perdida is a wonderful spot. The view on the lake is perfection, and dinners + activities organized at this hotel/hostel are a wonderful place to meet other travellers. The price is unbeatable for what you get! I was worried upfront (was not sure what to expect at this price), but ended up extending my stay with 1 night. 1 of the highlights!
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.
The hotel property was very well kept and the view from the room was stunning. They had a cute garden in which we sat practically all the time and we could swim in front of the hotel as well. The communal bathroom and showers were also very clean and we loved the water pressure. The restaurant also had good food.
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.
The location is really the best part about this hotel, right next to the boats, you get a perfect view from the lake and the volcanoes from your room. Perfect place to relax and recover for a couple days after climbing Acatenango.
Nice location on Lake Atitlan with some breathtaking views. it was conveniently located near where our daughter was staying. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The cabin was clean and comfortable.
The property was beautiful, and perfectly located. Every morning I got to wake up to the most outstanding view of the lake and volcano, with a beautiful walk to the local restaurants and activities.
Owner is wonderful. So nice and kind. Pretty views of the lake. Large room and very clean. Great shower. Yummy breakfast. Hotel is up a large, sleep hill. Take a 10 Q tuk tuk to get there.
Art & Coffee is a lovely place. The owner Tao is super welcoming and friendly- will give you many suggestions on things to do in the lake.
The room was super clean and comfy!
