Hotel San Buenaventura De Atitlan

This review is something of a compromise as I did not read the small print and missed that this ‘hotel’ is really for large parties who are happy to self-cater. The rooms / suites are big, and the lounge area has a fridge, sink, microwave and cooker - as well as a barbecue on the upstairs patio. If you have arrived with a car and can shop easily then this is for you. However, only breakfast is catered for regularly (with not much choice) and lunch only if prebooked. Other than that - no food or drink is available at all! So bring your own ‘bar’ as well. The small garden, pool, outdoor dining, beach with kayaks etc are very sweet - and peaceful. My wife loved it; I managed as we could easily walk around to the larger Hotel Atatlan - where the large restaurant and bar always seemed to be open!

Good service and great breakfast.

Good

Really nice Hotel for connecting with Nature. The hotel has antique look to it. The rooms need much updating. We bought a suite but the room had two double beds in the room. No outlets for charging phones or device. I would have preferred a king bed in the master room. The second floor had a full antique kitchen with many items not working. The food is mediocre. For food options best you walk to the hotel beside which has antique look amazing restaurant. The doors entering the hotel is rubbing and has issues closing. Overall the view of the lake is stunning.

Amazing hospitality. Beautiful and secluded property.

Really like this hotel. Beautiful view, off the beaten path a bit but still a not too far tuk tuk ride to town. More laid back than the fancier hotel next door but you can still eat there. Loved that breakfast and kayaks were included. Staff was really nice. Good value too. Staying here was like the best of both worlds with the convenience of staying in Panajachel but views being on the lake, especially if you only have a couple nights at the lake.
